Chapter 1424: Chapter 1427 Scaling Commitments and Hearts

Tony announced, “Our friend Abel will handle the distribution of the cash envelopes. Each of these envelopes contains your share from the insurance company.

Emmeline chuckled, “Oh, I almost forgot about that!”

He added, “It’s a sum of 35,000 in cash. You can pick it up later. Also, talk to Janie about being her bridesmaid.”

“Sure, congratulations in advance!” After ending the call, Emmeline coughed before regaining her composure.

Abel raised his concerns, saying. If you keep pushing yourself like this, we might need to return to the hospital”

She replied, “I just want to wrap things up quickly.” Then, she proceeded to call Vernon to discuss employee training.

Angrily, Abel grabbed her phone ‘Fine. Let’s wrap up everything here so you can return and marry Albus!

Emmeline fell into a thoughtful silence. She furrowed her brow and gazed out the car window, her eyes brimming with tears.

“Damn it!” He clenched his fist and slammed it against the steering wheel. He couldn’t believe he had let those hurtful words slip. I’m sorry, babe,” he whispered in a low, husky voice.

She noticed tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.

The following morning, Emmeline arrived at the World Trade Building. She meticulously explored the first floor and acquainted herself with the advertising decorations. According to the current status, it would be ready in approximately ten days, allowing them to initiate stocking and test business operations once the employees were in place.

She promptly called Sam, informing Emmeline that her unpaid leave had concluded, and she was awaiting Emmeline’s instructions.

After ending the call, Vernon and his wife coincidentally descended from upstairs.

Emmeline hastened to greet them. “Mr. Chester, Aunt Audrey, hello!”

“Emma, have you lost weight?” Audrey held Emmeline’s hand, a look of concern on her face.

Emmeline smiled. I haven’t been eating well lately; it’s nothing.”

Audrey advised, “You need to take care of your health. You may look delicate, but you possess an entrepreneurial spirit!”

Emmeline replied, “Where? I just happened to stumble upon a guod opportunity!”

Vernon added, “Emma, my wife, used to accompany me to the market, and she worked hard, too!”

Audrey chimed in, “No one has had an easy life. I went through hardships with him back then.

Emmeline gazed at Audrey, whose elegance and grace were the fruits of her hard work. Although she was beautiful, she was far from being a mere decoration in Vernon’s life.

During this time, Emmeline and Vernon engaged in a discussion about employee training matters.

Given the current recruitment situation, they considered the possibility of arranging the training sessions by the end of the month.

It was already noon, and Audrey invited Emmeline to stay for lunch. Emmeline, aware that Abel would be calling soon, politely declined, saying. “Not today. Next time. I’ll treat Mr. Chester and Aunt Audrey.”

Vernon added, “Oh, by the way, Emma, when Ryker Group launched at that time, a friend who deals with antiques came over. I told him you have some valuable items, and he was interested in taking a look.”

“That’s great,” Emmeline replied. “I was thinking of finding someone to help me authenticate them.

When will your friend come over?”

“He will come when the World Trade Building is launched,” Vernon explained. You can bring the items then.”

Emmeline nodded quickly and said, “Thank you, Mr. Chester.”

Meanwhile, at Abel’s office, Alana entered and placed the financial report on his desk. She inquired.

“Where’s Emmeline? I haven’t seen her lately Absorbed in his work, Abel responded, “Do you require something? If not, please leave.”

Undeterred, she settled onto the couch and remarked, “I couldn’t help but notice, are you and her living together?”

He looked up, his eyes narrowing. “Is that any of your concern?”

“I was merely curious,” Alana replied casually. It seems rather scandalous, doesn’t it?”

Abel took two steps closer to her and leaned toward her. “Alana Lane, do you believe I won’t dare to strangle you?”

“Go ahead!” Alana provocatively raised her fair neck, adjusting her collar. “Why don’t you do it right here, then?”

With her smooth neck tantalizingly close and her alluring gaze, Alana’s breath brushed Abel’s face. He struggled to maintain his composure and muttered, “How shameless!” He then retreated to his desk.

Alana, undeterred edged closer, perching on the corner of the desk, and asked, “You still haven’t answered. my question. Are you and Emmeline sharing a bed? Just a man and a woman living together?”
