"Father, you go first. I have something to talk with Emily."
Charlie hesitated, but he looked at Star. Seeing that she was persistent with her eyes, he knew that he
couldn't persuade her to go away. He looked at Emily, who was still smiling. Since Emily returned home
from abroad, he couldn't see through Emily, his niece. He could only shake his head and chase after
Michael without saying anything.
Star stared at Emily, who stretched out her arms and leaned against the sofa leisurely. "So you can say
anything you want to say. I don't think I have anything to say to you."
Star glanced at Mike and Vincent, who were sitting at the side of Emily like two guardian gods, the
executive president and the vice president of the of the World International. They were both very
powerful and popular outside, but they were willing to stay by the side of Emily now.
Even if Star was not good enough, she knew that if Emily merely relied on the identity of the president's
wife of the World International, she would not be able to get the sincerity of the two of them. Even if
they pretended to be humble and tough for the sake of Brian, she still needed Brian to give her the
respect.
But now it seemed that this was not the case. Both Vincent and Mike gave Emily respect from the
bottom of their hearts. As for Brian, Emily's husband, who had been dealing with documents since they
came in, he gave her absolute respect.
Everything she once dreamed of, she envied and she pursued was lost now. She did not hesitate to
destroy anything that Emily wished for, but she got nothing now, which was exactly what she strove to
destroy.
Even though Emily had nothing at some time, even though she had been despised, expelled from the
Xia clan, and even without the protection of her so-called family, she was still superior and radiated a
unique light, and then she made the people who laughed, sneered at, hurt her, and received the
punishment they deserved.
Silence followed. It was deathly silent. Vincent, Mike were about to leave, but apparently, Emily didn't
care much about the situation, so they wanted to watch the play here of course. Besides, the show that
Emily performed was absolutely excellent, and they didn't want to miss it. However, the silence now
was so depressing.
On the contrary, Brian, who was sitting behind Emily, was in a calm state all the time, dealing with the
documents in his hand as usual. He would completely leave everything about Star to Emily to deal with.
"Your gaze made me think that you're living a life that is as hopeless as death. Do you want to give up
of the world? What's wrong, Miss Star? The fame, wealth, status and love you pursue now don't matter
to you anymore. I can't see them in your eyes."
Star smiled, and her pale face made her smile look even more embarrassed. "Emily, I am very jealous
of you."
"Well, I've known that. And you've also said that. There's no need to repeat it now. Or do you want to
do something to me?" Emily said jokingly.
"What can I do to you now? And with my current identity, what can I do to the wife of the CEO of the
World International?"
"Who knows? As an old saying goes, a hundred eyed man should die without stiffened."
"Should I thank you for thinking so highly of me?"
"You're welcome."
"You are just as arrogant as before. That's what makes me jealous crazily. I can stand your status, but I
can't bear that you take Sawyer away from me. I have only him. So I want to hurt you and keep the
love, but I didn't expect it will still hurt myself in the end."
When Emily heard these words, a great deal of bitterness could be sensed, but she didn't care and just
listened aside. She felt that she just heard some boring words.
"What? Are you admitting your fault in front of me now? This isn't like what you would do."
"Yes, you think so. In your eyes, I am a woman who spares no pains to get what I want by all means,
including hurting the innocent. I tried to keep what I want by my side, but I didn't want to do that. I was
forced into a dead end. I thought I could win you with some means, but I didn't expect that I would get
nothing in the end."
"Do you want to wake up and turn around?"
Star smiled and said, "Go back? Where is the way to go back? I can't go back anymore. If my heart is
dead, what's the use of going back?"
Ever since she got married with Sawyer, his cold attitude towards her as if she didn't exist at all had
gradually stopped the beating in her heart. She gradually calmed down, and stop the thought that she
would win everything regardless of the consequences.
Everything was far from what she had imagined. If it was a plot seven years ago, then the relationship
she had worked for seven years would end up with a result that she had never imagined. She had
always believed that she was not wrong, but no matter how she felt right about this, no one could
understand.
Her grandfather, who kind of gave her some favor, helped her seven years ago. Concealing for her was
just to seize everything from Tristan, but seven years later, he used her as a tool to get close to the
Sawyer clan. Now she was of no use to anyone, so he tied her to the side of Emily, letting her deal with
her randomly, in exchange for the help of her.
Star was like a thing that could be abandoned at any time. If he liked it, he would be able to treat her
well; if he didn't like it, he could kick her away. However, it might be too late for her to see everything
clearly at this time, but when she saw it clearly, she might not have any special feelings anymore.
"Oh, it's really rare to hear you say that. I thought your affection for Sawyer could be more than
anything else."
"Yes, but it's a pity that I've become an absolute evil woman in his eyes now. Even if I love him, he can't
see anything."
"Oh, I really don't understand. What do you mean by saying this to me today? Can't it be that you can't
find anyone to talk to?"
Star still bitterly smiled and said, "Yes, you're right. There are indeed many other people who would like
to talk to me, but after knowing everything, they seem to be all gone."
"You just taste your own bitter fruit."
"Well, sort of, or I wouldn't have stood here. People like you will never understand the hardships we
have suffered in your bright life."
Emily's eyes narrowed.
"This is really interesting. Why do you all run in front of me and say that I don't know your life? Is it
interesting? Is it wrong to live in the dark? Is it wrong to live in the dark? Star, the wrong point is not
where you live, but what kind of life do you choose to live."
"You are all set up by the so-called illegitimate children. There are so many illegitimate children in the
world. Do any of them have the same behaviors as you do? So, Star, don't question others about your
life. You don't even know what you should do. And you have no right to tell others about it."
Star's eyes began to tremble, seeming to sign that Emily said those words with indignation. What's
more important was that she could see clearly what Emily was enduring now, but she could feel that
her words' heavy weight which made her tremble.
They fell into silence again. Someone knocked on the door and reported that Mr. Sawyer came to pick
up Miss Star. Brian looked at Emily and asked him to let Sawyer to come in silently.
"Are you all right?"
Sawyer came in and looked at Star.
"Yo, what do you mean by that? Are you afraid that I will eat her alive?"
"Miss Emily, you misunderstood me. I heard that grandfather called Star to the World International, and
I also came here to have a look." Sawyer said while looking around. He should be looking for Charlie
and Michael.
"Mr. Michael has already left. According to him, as long as I agree to help him, I can do whatever I want
to Star. Do you think whether I agree or not?"
Star's eyes began to change. She wondered what Emily was thinking about.
"Miss Emily, Star now is my wife. We can't say anything about the mistakes we made in the past. If you
want to vent your anger, you can just come straight to me."
"Wow, I didn't expect that you love your wife so much. You should learn from him, Brian" Emily shouted
towards the back.
"Since Emily said so, I'll do it." Brian replied with a smile. Emily didn't want to tease him anymore.
"Since we are married, I have a responsibility. What do you want?" Standing in front of Star, Sawyer
looked at Emily in front of him. It seemed that he didn't lie to her. Since he wasn't lying, there was no
need for them to be cold to each other. A really boring couple might make people feel annoyed.
"You have paid me back what you owe me. Why should I torture you to the point that you are worse
than death? I have no energy to waste on your affairs. You set me up and I will let you have a taste of
losing your reputation. So we have nothing to do with each other. Don't appear in front of me for no
reason and it also annoys me. You have to deal with your own business, don't talk about it to others so
blatantly, or you should choose a person who likes to listen, I don't like to listen to your story. OK, go,
get out. "
Thus, Star and Sawyer would be kicked out. When they left, Sawyer had some thoughts about what
Emily had just said, but he was interrupted by the words of Star.
"Sawyer, let's get a divorce." After saying that, Star walked out of the World International. Standing
there silently, Sawyer had some helplessness, some sighs, and more bitter. Looking at the sky silently,
he wondered if this was the God's revenge on him.
