Chapter 57: Just Here to Provoke

Not long ago, she had put on an act in front of Melinda, deceiving Melinda into believing that she was the one Raymond loved the most. Unexpectedly, Melinda had quickly retaliated.

At this moment, Emily could no longer sit still.

She wanted to rush to the lab and show off, letting Melinda know that Raymond had

asked her out for dinner tonight, which was a huge opportunity for her.

After dressing up meticulously, she arrived at the institute around four in the afternoon.

She deliberately stopped in the office area and looked around.

Sure enough, she successfully attracted the attention of others, and everyone started whispering.

"Wow! Isn't that Mr. Thomas's girlfriend? She's here to see Melinda. Could it be that she's going to put on a dramatic scene of the wife catching the mistress?"

"This is going to be interesting!"

"If you do bad things, you'll have to pay the price sooner or later," Tenley sneered disdainfully.

Kathy quickly got up, hurriedly pushed open Melinda's office door, and whispered, "Melinda, Mr. Thomas's girlfriend Emily is here!"

She pointed behind her.

Melinda looked up and saw Emily walking over with a proud expression.

She glared at Kathy, blaming her for being talkative, and growled, "Get out."

Kathy was intimidated by her aura, stuck out her tongue, and quickly retreated.

Melinda sneered, "Emily, know your place. This is a lab, not your home, and the people here are not your servants."

Her words carried an undeniable authority and presence.

Emily was momentarily speechless, intimidated by her aura.

But she quickly recovered, "Melinda, who do you think you are? If I tell Raymond, Kathy, a mere assistant, can be fired at any time." She tried to change the subject to cover her embarrassment and unease.

"Emily, do you even have that capability?" Melinda's words were filled with coldness and disdain.

Emily could no longer feel proud.

"Melinda, you are truly shameless, always using your father Scott's lowly life to threaten the Thomas family," Emily said aggressively, her tone full of mockery.

"Don't insult my father. You are not worthy," Melinda's eyes instantly turned cold. Emily's words had touched her bottom line.

She could tolerate insults directed at her, but she would never tolerate insults directed at the person she cared about the most.

She stood up, exuding a cold aura, "Emily, if you dare to speak nonsense again, believe me, I will kill you."

"Oh! I'm so scared! Come on, I'm waiting. Scott died early because he was born with a lowly life, deserved to die early."

Emily seemed to find some amusement and continued to provoke.

Melinda's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. She glared at Emily, picked up the water cup on the table, and threw it at her, "Get out!"

"Melinda, you dare to throw something at me? Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Emily dodged the cup nimbly and shouted furiously.

"If you're not afraid of death, then stay here and keep cursing," Melinda threatened through gritted teeth.

"Do you dare to kill me? Killing someone means paying with your life. By then, your son Sam will become an orphan. Will he rely on his father, who works as a male escort, to take him in? Hahaha!"

Emily suddenly laughed, as if she had found Melinda's weakness, and spoke triumphantly.

Melinda trembled all over. She stared at Emily with wide eyes, momentarily speechless.

Seeing this, Emily became even more triumphant, "Oh! By the way, if I tell Raymond about this, what will he think?"

"Emily, you can try. Even if I die, I'll make sure to take you down with me."

Melinda's heart sank to the bottom. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

"Oh dear, I almost forgot, I have a date with Raymond tonight!" Emily pretended to pat her head.

Melinda felt like her heart was being twisted tightly.

She looked at Emily's smug face, wishing she could tear her mouth apart.

But she knew she couldn't act impulsively. She had to stay calm and find a way to deal with all of this.

She took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and warned, "Emily, it's best if we don't interfere with each other in the future. Otherwise, I won't let you off!"

Emily looked at her with a mocking expression, "Even if you don't hold a grudge, I won't let you off. If you dare to get close to Raymond, I'll make your life miserable, disgust you every day."

"Then keep an eye on Raymond and don't let him come to disgust me."

Melinda clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her palms. She looked at Emily coldly and said, "Emily, you won't be proud in the end."

Emily sneered, "Then just wait and see! The position of Mrs. Thomas can only be mine." With that, she turned around and grabbed the door handle.

A smile appeared on Emily's lips.

"If I find out next time that you're still getting close to Raymond, I won't mind letting Sam acknowledge his biological father." As soon as she finished speaking, Emily laughed.

Seeing Melinda's livid face, she felt delighted.

"Get out!" Melinda roared, her eyes red.

Emily was very pleased with herself. Before leaving, she didn't forget to provoke, "Tonight, I'm going to spend the night with Raymond. You better not disturb us, and don't use work to interfere. I know Raymond's stamina very well."

At this moment, Emily was actually feeling uneasy. Her earlier words were just a bluff to scare Melinda.

After all, the truth about that night couldn't be revealed to Melinda yet.

Melinda was trembling with anger. She bit her lower lip tightly until she tasted blood. Emily's arrogance and insolence were like sharp thorns piercing deep into her heart. Melinda sat weakly in her chair, her body trembling, her heart filled with complex emotions, almost suffocating.

Emily knew her too well, so every word was like a needle stabbing into her heart. Especially when she thought of Raymond and Emily dating, and Raymond kissing her with the same lips that had kissed Emily, she felt extremely disgusted.

She could even imagine Raymond and Emily in bed, which was a torment for her. Melinda made up her mind to stay away from Raymond and never let him do anything to her again.

As soon as Emily left the institute, she received a call from Nolan. Hearing the content, she felt a bit disappointed. She had thought Raymond would come to pick her up himself.

Meanwhile, in the restaurant's private room, Raymond had been waiting for a long time.

When Emily pushed the door open and saw him, her heart skipped a beat. Raymond always had a way of easily captivating her.

"Raymond," Emily called sweetly and sat down opposite him.
