The intravenous treatment for gastric spasms was administered quite quickly. In just forty minutes, two small bottles of liquid were completely injected.
Emmeline and her father returned home.
Dinner was still ongoing in the dining room.
Due to Emmelineâs unexpected illness, this meal was somewhat awkward.
Emmeline didnât return to the dining room; instead, she went straight to her bedroom and fell into a deep sleep.
After Albus left, her mother, Kimberly, didnât say a word to Emmeline for the entire afternoon while Maxwell smoked one cigarette after another in the bedroom, Based on the events of that dayâs lunch, Maxwell was not particularly pleased with Albus. However, since his wifeâs mental state was not good, he didnât want to go against her wishes.
The World Trade Buildingâs proposal was refined in detail and awaited signing.
On the day of signing the contract, Emmeline wore a suit and black heels and tied her hair into a bun, looking professional and competent.
Three copies of the contract were prepared and successfully signed.
Vernon, following the terms stipulated in the contract, transferred 30% of the initial fee to RetroWave Advertisements.
Tony deducted 10% of the revenue and gave Emmeline 29,000 dollars as her share.
Out of these 29,000 dollars, Emmeline kept 9,000 as a reserve for her clothing business development.
She- gave the remaining 20,000 to Abel.
âThe factory does need money,â Abel said. âBut I canât use your first earnings.
âThe money is in your hands now; whether you use it or not is up to you.
âIf the factory were running normally, Iâd be willing to convert this money into shares for you,â Abel said.
âBut right now, Iâm gambling with my life, so this money canât be touched.â
Abel opened a bank account for Emmeline and deposited her 20,000 dollars, preserving it for her.
âHowâs the factory contracting going?â Emmeline asked him. I was genuinely worried for you; itâs such a big deal.â
âItâs mostly settled,â Abel said. âOn paper, Scott is in charge, but in reality, Iâm the one contracting it âWith so many people in your factory, will there be a lot of layoffs?â
âThatâs for sure. Weâre putting our lives on the line, so we canât afford to be a charity organization.â
âHow many people will be laid off?â
âGoing to be over a hundred, I suppose.â
âThatâs a lot!â Emmeline exclaimed..
âWhat did you expect?â Abel said. âThere are even twelve janitors just for cleaning the toilets! And I still havenât seen the toilets being particularly clean!â
âWhat will they do after being laid off?â
âThe temporary workers will be disbanded, and the permanent employees will have to handle their own. unemployment procedures and liaise with the labor bureau.â
Youâre making quite significant changes! Emmeline remarked. âIt will really depend on your management skills.â
âIâve learned the ropes after watching Scott work all these years. Abel chuckled. âItâs not that difficult.â
âWell, I canât help much with this, Emmeline said. âYouâre on your own. Just donât forget to make time for me. Donât get so busy that you leave me behind.â
âHow could I?â Abel ruffled her hair. Without seeing you, my mind would be empty. Even if you didnât want to see me, Iâd still want to see you. Otherwise, all my efforts would be meaningless.â
âAbel, I want to move out and live on my own. Emmeline changed the subject.
âWhy do you suddenly have this idea?â Abel questioned.
Emmeline said nothing. She lowered her head and sighed softly.
âIs something wrong, Emma?â Abel pressed her shoulders.
âNo, Iâm just not in a good mood.â Emmeline looked extremely gloomy.
Abel knew she wasnât telling the truth, but he also understood what she meant.
A few days ago, Hannah had called Abel. She asked him to persuade Emmeline not to go further down the wrong path, as Kimberly was very concerned about her.
Although Hannah had asked Abel to help convince her sister, she had also sounded a warning to âAbel, Iâm telling you, you canât mess around with Emma. If she canât get married in the future, it will be a big problem. Donât blame me for not warning your Her words left Abel speechless, and he abruptly ended the call.
Hannah sent him another message afterward. You and Emma are not possible. Donât let her sink deeper into this!
