Chapter 357

Emma was furiously venting all her emotions.

In fact, Dr. Thompson knew about Jeremy After all, doctors should know the whole story to treat their patients.

But after hearing this story, Dr. Thompson subconsciously assumed that Emma was just excessively in love with Jeremy. She thought that Emma’s breakdown and subsequent depression were due to being abandoned by him.

She always approached Emma’s mental health from this aspect.

But only Emma knew the truth.

‘That wasn’t the case.

‘I didn’t love Jeremy anymore.

‘I didn’t love him ever since he abandoned me.

‘I didn’t love him ever since he started spreading rumors and slandering me.

‘I didn’t love him at all.

‘I feel depressed because everyone around me keeps saying I’m wrong. I’m abandoned because I deserve it.”.

due to Ex Jeremy explained that their breakup was due to Emma’s infidelity and her expensive habits. She was seeing multiple men and often asked him for money, which strained his finances beyond sustainability.

This combination of unfaithfulness and financial pressure led to the end of their relationship.

However, Jeremy’s proof consisted of some doctored chat screenshots. In these messages, she seemed desperate for money from Jeremy and even appeared to encourage him to be open to the idea of her being with other men.

These chat logs caused a huge scandal.

Emma tried to explain, insisting they were all fake.

Despite her efforts, she was met with disbelief and indifference.

Countless people mocked and ridiculed her, both to her face and behind her back.

During that time, wherever she went, she was met with scorn.

No one believed her.

Everyone believed the false images Jeremy had crafted.

Amidst such rumors, Emma was pushed into darkness.

5% 09:48 She genuinely started to believe, “Maybe, it was all my fault.

If I hadn’t made a mistake, why would everyone blame me?

“Some people might say I was born cursed.‘

Dr. Thompson, not quite understanding her situation, kept urging her to let go of Jeremy.

But it was Eason who got it right.

He told her, “Emma, it’s not your fault.”

God knows how much those words, “It’s not your fault,” meant to her.

Emma cried her heart out as if releasing years of pent–up hurt and pain.

Eason’s heart ached as he held her even tighter.

After a while, Emma slowly wiped her tears and flashed Eason a radiant smile, saying, “Thank you.”

Her smile was so dazzling that Eason was momentarily captivated.

Jeremy, though sensing he was losing control of the situation, remembered someone’s instructions and approached, attempting to touch Emma’s shoulder.

Emma whirled around and, without hesitation, slapped him hard.

Fiercely, she said, “Get lost!”

Jeremy, completely taken aback, blurted out, “Have you lost your mind?”

He thought to himself, ‘Emma was as timid and shy, never raising her voice, let alone getting physical.

‘But this time, she really slapped me!‘

Emma’s voice was tinged with casual indifference as she remarked, “After all these years, what really separates me from being crazy?”

Jeremy paused, then laughed it off, “Well, well. Considering you went crazy over me, I’ll forgive that slap.”

Jeremy was as shameless as ever.

The old Emma would have run away from such shamelessness, hurting herself in the process.

But now, she had the courage to face it.

Looking at Jeremy, she sarcastically said, “You know, Jeremy, all these years, I’ve been thinking about what I would say if I saw you again.”

Jeremy smiled, generously offering, “Go ahead, express your feelings.”

But, without a doubt, he felt an extraordinary sense of satisfaction.

Iason spoke sternly, “If you dare touch Emma again, I’ll break your hand.”

Lasoris voice and demeanor were chilling, clearly not joking.

Jeremy trembled slightly, not daring to touch Emma, but shouted, “Emma, think it over. A worthless woman like you, only I would want you. Don’t be fooled by how nice your boyfriend seems. Ask him, does he want to marry you? He’s just playing with your Forget about the past, and I’ll lower myself to marry you.”

Besides, if he could win over Emma, he would get a huge sum of money.

Emma chuckled, “Oh, you wouldn’t believe how much I raked in from those rights I sold. Millions of dollars, no less. My project proposals are a hot commodity, and my annual income in beyond your wildest dreams. So, tell me, who’s the one who doesn’t quite measure up?”

“What?” Jeremy stared at Emma. “How could you possibly make that much money? Emma, you must be lying.”

Emma looked at Jeremy, smiled disdainfully, and then said, “Eason, let’s go.”

“Okay,” Eason replied softly.

The two of them left as if no one else was there.

Leaving behind was Jeremy, his complexion a tumultuous blend of green and crimson.

Jeremy stood alone, his face a tumultuous mix of embarrassment and anger.

After all, the woman who had hired him had only promised him one hundred thousand dollars.

But Emma was already worth millions?

If he could win over Emma, wouldn’t he be set for life?

Jeremy watched Emma’s retreating figure, his expression suddenly turning eager.

He thought to himself, “I didn’t believe that Emma truly disliked me anymore.

“It seemed like Emma was just holding a grudge because of something that happened years ago.

‘But what did that matter?

‘After all, women just need a bit of sweet talk, and they’ll come back, right?‘
