Elaine was lost in her thoughts as she watched the pair walking through the crowd calmly. They really
looked like a couple, greeting the crowd while smiling. Emmett was introducing the guests to Juliana
patiently.
Good news… what good news?
Good news from both of them?
It finally struck to her, she understood. What a fool she was, she finally understood.
She finally understood why Emmett suddenly persuaded her to resign.
The executive training course that Emmett told her to attend was just a trick to send her off, giving him
time to date with Juliana!
So that was how it was!
She was the biggest fool, she thought to herself. How could she still trust Bad-bear Smith? Deep
inside, she actually believed when Emmett said he loved her.
Everything about Emmett saying he liked her, loved her, and how he said he couldn’t bear it if she
loved someone else.
Everything about how he pleaded her for the three-month time to make her fall in love with him…
How funny.
Now that she thought about it, Emmett’s word was really ridiculous!
Elaine was clutching the fork on her hand, the plate was trembling. She was like the leaves in the wind,
shivering in a breeze.
It was not until… Hazel who grabbed her shoulders so hard until she felt pain she woke up, looking at
Hazel dumbfoundedly.
Hazel looked at both Emmett and Juliana and was as shocked as Elaine.
“Oh my god, come on. Why does it feel like it’s their engagement party?”
“Girl, are you okay? You look very pale.”
“I’m… I’m fine…” Elaine barely said the words. She was feeble and tired.
...
“You’re quivering.”
Hazel held Elaine’s arm, feeling very worried about her.
Elaine’s face was as pale as a piece of paper, struggling to inhale, she murmured, “I’m… I’m
uncomfortable… my head aches…”
Sally was frightened by Elaine’s condition and said, “Then, then should I find you a place to sit, or are
we leaving?”
Elaine quickly glanced over to Emmett; she felt her heart cracked, as she hurriedly said, “Let’s… let’s
leave…”
Elaine could not stay any longer, not even for a minute!
She felt like she had to go somewhere open and scream as loud as she could.
She wanted to let all the sour depression deep inside in her heart out.
“Okay, fine, we’re leaving. We’re not having this crap.”
Hazel nodded in response, while Sally on the other side, assisting Elaine to leave.
As Emmett was talking with some rich businessmen, he looked up, and saw Elaine six or seven meters
away!
Huh…
Why was Elaine here too?!
Emmett secretly took a deep breath, subconsciously, his whole body was getting tensed.
This slight change was immediately noticed by Juliana, who was just right next to his body.
Juliana raised her eyes smartly and glanced at Emmett, then following his view and look ahead…
Ah? Who did she just saw?
Wasn’t that… Emmett’s pure and innocent assistant?
Interesting… No wonder Emmett was so tensed up, he saw this woman.
Hmm… So she was right all along?
Emmett… really cared about this woman?
Juliana caught something with her sharp eyes.
She suddenly took a step forward, holding one arm out, shouting towards Elaine’s direction,
“Hey, can you stop for a moment?”
She had obviously raised up her voice, and it was considered quite rude in a high-class banquet.
But after her abrupt voice, everyone went quiet and couldn’t help but look towards where Juliana was
pointing.
...
Who was Miss Juliana shouting at?
Emmett had realized what Juliana was trying to do. He immediately hooked Juliana’s waist, but this
action, from outsider’s perspective, looked like they both were being affectionate to each other.
Juliana ignored the pain in the waist, stubbornly continued to smile, staring on Elaine, shouted once
again, “Yeah, you, excuse me, one moment please?”
This time, Hazel and Elaine stopped as everyone was looking at them; they were forced to turn back
their heads.
Swoosh!
Elaine made contact with Juliana’s eyesight in the crowd six to seven meters away.
Juliana narrowed her eyes, her lips curling slightly upwards with a malicious intent.
It felt like time had stopped right at this second.
Juliana smiled just like a fierce leopard; she had something up her sleeve, definitely.
Elaine looked even paler than she was just now, looking back in horror…
Emmett saw Elaine’s face, and suddenly he felt so tensed.
What was wrong?
Why she looked gloomy?
Was she sick?
Or was she… Emmett didn’t dare to venture into that thought…
Or maybe, she saw him being together with Juliana, so she felt sad?
Will she? Will she be sad for him?
Did she care about him?
At this moment, Emmett was also gazing deeply at Elaine, feeling a complete mess inside his head.
“That’s right, it’s you, Ms. Jones. If I’m not mistaken, you’re Emmett’s assistant, Ms. Jones, right?”
Juliana had already sent someone to investigate Elaine’s information. She knew her name, her age
and her education history.
More information was not available. It was like someone had deliberately hidden it.
Up until now, Juliana began to suspect that it had something to do with Emmett because she could not
find more information about Elaine.
This suspicion had made her very unhappy!
Emmett was hers; he was the only man she fancied!
Emmett must be interested in only one woman, and that must be her, Juliana herself!
Whoever Emmett wanted to protect, she will do everything to destroy that person!
Everyone at the banquet was surveying Elaine from top to bottom.
According to Ms. Juliana’s tone, it seemed like she didn’t like Elaine that much?
Elaine looked at Emmett, biting her lips and said, “I’ve already resigned. I’m no longer his assistant.
Now if you excuse me, I’ll be leaving.”
...
While saying this, Elaine’s whole body was already trembling.
She could not bear to see Emmett standing with Juliana at the moment.
It was unacceptable!
“Ms. Jones!” Juliana had once again raised up her voice, stopping Elaine’s movements.
Juliana tried to walk towards Elaine, but was stopped by Emmett, who pulled her wrist. He tugged and
pulled her to his arms, trying to prevent whatever she was trying to do. Emmett was clasping Juliana’s
waist tightly.
Lowering his head and pressing his lips against her ears, he whispered, “I’ve already fired her… come,
let me introduce you to Mr. Charlie…”
Elaine was trembling even more.
‘I can’t believe it, Bad-bear Smith… you still kissed and caressed me earlier this morning… it just took
you a few hours to forget me, putting your arms around another woman!’
Elaine’s lips were getting more painful after biting it herself.
Her heart felt more painful than the pain on her lips!
Juliana was even unhappier, having her actions stopped by Emmett, but she was not sure what’s with
Emmett and this Elaine Jones, so she turned around, facing Elaine, raised her voice and shouted, “Ms.
Jones, let me give you some advice; Don’t try to use your body and your youth to even attempt getting
close your boss, it would just make you look bad.”
Wow… A clamor could be heard around the guests.
Everyone looked at Elaine with disdain.
According to Juliana’s word, everyone understood this Ms. Jones definitely tried to seduce Emmett!
She was found out by Juliana now; wouldn’t this just make her look bad now?
Sigh… how can girls nowadays be so unreasonable?
Hazel jumped up and shouted, “Fuck you, man! You green-eyed, yellow-haired ugly bitch, what are you
yapping about! Which damn eye did you see our Elaine seducing your boss? We don’t give a damn! To
hell with you!”
Oh my god… Everyone collectively gasped.
How dare she talk like that to the boss of Black Shadows Group?
If it was possible for our eyes, we could have saw Juliana’s murderous aura gathering around her, her
rage bursting through the roof!
Shit! She’s done for! How dared she rebuke her like that!
Suddenly, a big hand came over and covered Hazel’s mouth, Lucas Lee came and used his other hand
to wrap his arms around her waist, smiling apologetically towards Juliana, saying,
“Hey uh, don’t mind my girlfriend, she’s having a mental breakdown recently.”
Oh my god…Everyone gasped again.
This rude girl was actually… Mr. Lucas Lee’s girlfriend?
Mr. Lee also had a girlfriend?
Mr. Lee also announced he was in a relationship?
Tonight’s events were getting even weirder!
Elaine was trembling really hard, tears visible in her big eyes, she was trying very hard, not letting a
single drip of tear slipping out of her eyes.
Her nose was blocked, getting harder to breath, it was visible that she was aggrieved, “No… I did
not…”
Emmett saw how aggrieved Elaine was, it was like someone stabbed his heart a thousand times!
He clenched his teeth, holding a fist on his leg.
But he had to control himself, refraining himself from hugging her at this instance!
He had to express calm and unconcerned, as if nothing was wrong.
He had always been the one who was always able to control his emotions, but he just realized he could
not control his emotions now!
Juliana sneered and said disdainfully, “As long as you know have you done it. Even if you’re poor, you
should still have your own dignity.”
Swoosh!
Elaine’s face was as pale as a piece of paper now.
