Chapter 5 An Astonishing Follow-up

What happened?

Everyone was stunned.

Emily was also still in a daze. She was damn clear about something.

Thanks to Ice's father who was still alive or not.

Her reputation, in upper-class society, was that she was a slut.

Emily couldn't understand why the old man, Mr. Kliman who always regarded himself as an old gentleman, would be so angry at his grandson's request to break off the engagement with her.

Subconsciously, Emily looked at the young couple who thought they would finally be happy.

Lucy had never been humiliated like this in her more than 20 years of smooth life.

She thought she was about to defeat her stupid sister and would be the hostess of the Kliman family!

Lucy covered her face and sobbed pitifully. Then she left the Kliman mansion without looking back, carrying her dress.

The shame of being rejected drove Lucy crazy. She couldn't stay even for a moment.

Tut-tut!

Emily sighed. Was she watching a drama just now?

The director of this soap opera must be from Korea.

"Why?"

Albert didn't have time to talk to Emily now.

He looked at Lucy's receding figure, feeling sorry for her. He didn't catch up with her.

"Grandpa, you know Emily betrayed me! She even has an illegitimate daughter now!"

How could such a woman deserve the great Kliman family?

Emily's face darkened and she said coldly.

"I have never betrayed you because I have nothing to do with you from the beginning to the end."

She stood up politely and nodded to old Mr. Kliman.

"In fact, the reason why I came back to England this time is that I want to end this engagement completely. The engagement that doesn't need to exist."

A clear sneer came over Emily's face.

"I don't like your grandson, and Kliman also treats me like poison, so isn't it good to let each other go?"

The old Kliman stood up with his crutch.

"Your engagement was made by your grandfather and me. I think you should respect a dead person."

Strangely enough, he didn't seem to like Emily either.

The old Kliman looked like someone forced him to drink a bowl of soup with green grass juice and nasal mucus.

After saying that, he turned to look at Albert.

"The heir of the Kliman family must marry the second daughter of the Copper family."

After saying that, he apologized to the embarrassed Aldrich couple. Then he excused himself that he was too old to hold on and went upstairs to rest.

"Wow!"

Emily sighed, "It's unbelievable."

Just now, the old Mr. Kliman was threatening his grandson in front of so many people, right?

The heir of the Kliman family must marry her, but it was not said that the heir of the Kliman family must be Albert.

As far as she knew, the position of Albert was not so firm.

His father was like a stud, spreading love everywhere.

Before he died, he had at least left four or five brothers to Albert.

There was even one who was not an illegitimate child. His mother was the second wife of Albert's father.

"What did you do?"

Albert said coldly. He vented all his anger of pursuing something but failing on Emily.

"What did you say to grandpa?"

Emily couldn't even look at him anymore.

She raised her head, her light blue eyes filled with pity for the stupid.

"I just came back. How can I say something to your grandfather?"

Emily sneered clearly.

"Why don't you just tell me what magic I used to make your grandfather obedient to me?"

Albert was used to relying on power. All the girls around him were as meek as lambs in front of him.

Only Emily, every time she saw him, she felt as if she had taken gunpowder!

Albert opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Emily mercilessly.

"... For God's sake, can you have a little self-knowledge? Do you think that even a woman wants to marry you whatever she can do?"

"Without the Kliman family, you are just a pile of shit."

Emily left in her high heels.

The heel of her slender shoes hit the expensive floor tiles, making a crisp quack.

And she did exactly what she said she would do, to remain contemptuous of Albert as always.

Aldrich was yanked by Lilith again. It was not until Aldrich watched the whole process that he found his mouth.

He hesitated for a while and said dryly, "Well…Young Mr. Kliman, I, on behalf of…"

"Fuck off!"

He said with grief and indignation, and his face turned red. His self-esteem had been broken into pieces in a series of things just now.

No one could believe that he just wanted to break off the engagement with a woman who had betrayed him.

But he almost lost the right of inheritance because of this?

The wind at night was cool. Emily drove down the mountain road.

She recalled what had just happened and realized that there might be something wrong.

She was just a biological pharmacist, although many organizations were scrambling for cooperation.

However, it didn't mean that the old Mr. Kliman had to sacrifice a grandson.

There must be something she didn't know.

And this matter was of great importance.

While Emily was lost in thought, the car window was knocked two times.

She came to her sense and hurriedly opened the door. Andre was standing outside with Ice who slept well in his arms.

Emily took Ice and put her in the car. She thanked him sincerely.

"Say thanks to Mrs. Smith for me."

Andre sighed helplessly, "You can call my mother, aunt. You know, as long as you are happy."

Instead of Mrs. Smith.

Emily shrugged and said gently, "I just don't want to cause unnecessary trouble."

"But you don't seem to care about that!"

"You are right."

Emily calmly pointed out, "I don't care about those ridiculous people. I just don't want my good friend to be in a dilemma."

"I'm sorry…"

Andre lowered his head in frustration and was eager to change the topic.

"How about your engagement with Kliman? I mean, you are not bullied, are you?"

It was rare for Emily to be so sharp when it came to that matter.

She sneered, "Obviously, Kliman doesn't have the ability to bully me. The thing on his shoulder can only be used to show that he is tall."

"Hahaha..."

Andre couldn't help laughing wildly. After a long time, he stopped in front of the smiling eyes of Emily.

"You know what?"

His eyes were still full of laughter. "Sometimes, I feel that you have changed into another person, completely different from the Emily I know."

Hearing this, Emily lowered her head immediately to hide the surprise in her eyes.

"Really?"

Emily said unnaturally.

She could even hear the sound of her heart beating from her chest.
