Chapter 1749
“Let’s cross that bridge when we come to it. No worries!” Bard reassured.
Emily felt even guiltier seeing how understanding the company’s manager was, “I work during the day, but I could
come by at night to care for my dad”
“I heard you have a daughter, just take good care of her. We’ve hired a full-time nursing worker, so you won’t have
to worry about a thing. Shawn got injured on our company’s watch, and we’ll take responsibility!”
Their gracious attitude left Emily affected.
A spark of intrigue lit up in Magdalen’s eyes as she shared a meaningful glance with Estelle.
It was getting dark. Since the nursing worker was there to attend to Shawn, Estelle offered to drive Emily home.
It was already dark when they left the hospital. Estelle fetched her car and they left.
Moments after Estelle’s car pulled away, a Rolls-Royce parked across the street also started to move.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhile Estelle drove, Magdalen sat with Emily in the back, holding her hand, ‘Don’t worry. These guys seem
reasonable. Whatever we need to compensate, we will. With Ella and me around, there won’t be any problem!”
Emily leaned against Magdalen’s shoulder, closing her eyes, “Magdalen, I wouldn’t have made it through today
without you and Estelle.”
Magdalen patted her head, “You were quite the lioness when you confronted your mother. So brave!”
Emily’s eyes filled with sarcasm, “Is this your first time seeing a family fight to this extent over money?”
Magdalen raised an eyebrow, “Even the wealthy can scheme against each other for gain, even to the point of
fratricide. It’s human nature, Emily. You shouldn’t feel bad. You should feel lucky that despite everything you’ve
been through, you still have a pure heart.”
Emily, who had been feeling miserable, was touched by Magdalen’s comfort.
What she was most grateful for was meeting friends like Estelle and Magdalen.
On the way, Estelle received a call from Jonathan. She told him she was on the road and suggested he have dinner
by himself as she would be spending the night at Emily’s.
Jonathan, sensing something was wrong, asked, “What happened to Emily?”
“Let’s talk it later,” Estelle answered calmly.
Jonathan didn’t press further, just reminding Estelle to drive safely.
When they arrived home, it was completely dark. Ms. Simmons had prepared dinner and had given Kya a bath.
Estelle told Ms. Simmons to head home. Seeing Emily’s pale face, Ms. Simmons didn’t ask anything more, only
reminding them to eat before she grabbed her bag and left.
Magdalen hadn’t seen Kya in a while. The two of them hugged and laughed, lightening the somber mood in the
room.
Emily didn’t have much of an appetite but forced herself to eat a few bites. Seeing that Kya was sleepy, she took
her to bed.
Once the master bedroom door closed, Magdalen sighed softly, “Anyone going through this would be heartbroken.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOur words wont help. We can only wait for Emily to heal in her own time- Estelle nodded, “Emily is already very
strong.”
She was able to cut ties with the Macclain family without hesitation because she wasn’t raised by them and had no
emotional attachment. But it was different for Emily!
Magdalen frowned, “Yeah, if my parents were like this, I’d go insane. I’d rather take a stick of dynamite and go
down with them!”
Estelle said, “I’ll go talk to the person in charge at OrbitaTech Ventures tomorrow. I’ll handle the compensation.
Don’t let Emily know-“
Magdalen chuckled, “I thought the same at first, but now I feel like we should stay out of it.”
“Hmm?” Estelle looked at her, puzzled.
Magdalen lowered her voice, “Didn’t you find the people from OrbitaTech Ventures strange? Shawn and his crew
violated the company rules by gambling, causing such a big loss. They should be furious, but they’ve been quite
kind and even comforting Emily.”
Estelle raised an eyebrow, “So, what’s your point?”
