+13 Emma’s eyes darkened. But, Robert said he felt more disgusted the more she acted like that.

Emma felt her heart trembling violently and thought, ‘How could Robert say such things about me?‘

“Robert...” she said, her eyes filled with tears. But Robert still stood in place, his eyes cold to the bone. “Emma, from now on, there will be no connections between us.”

Enima cried even louder and thought, ‘Is Robert really going to cut ties with me? Is he really going to abandon me?’

Fear welled up inside her. If even Robert abandoned her, she would have no other connections.

She reached out and hugged Robert’s leg, pleading, “Robert, please don’t leave me behind, okay?”

Seeing Emma like this, Robert felt utterly hopeless. His tone was fierce as he said, “Get out of here.”

But Emma didn’t budge. Getting desperate, Robert kicked his leg forcefully and threw her off.

“If you really love me, you wouldn’t have provoked my father with words and caused him to die. Is that what you intend for?

You’ve made me a sinner, a disobedient son? Do you have any idea of that?” cried Robert.

Pointed at himself, Robert said in an extremely angry tone, “I must be blind, thinking you were innocent and kind before. It turns out that your kindness was all an act. I’ve really seen through you.”

“Robert, I didn’t mean to. It was just an accident. Will you really deny me completely just because of this one thing?” Emma said.

Hearing this, Robert looked at Emma with bloodshot eyes. It was as if he had never known her. “One thing? In your eyes, this is just one thing?” He felt pain in his chest again and covered it, his tone filled with disbelief.

Then, like a volcanic eruption, he pointed at Emma and roared in anger. “Do you have any idea that it took my father away from me? Do you think an excuse like that can make up for all of this?

“You’re ruthless. Fine, let’s not talk about that. Emma, if you ever truly cared about me a little, you wouldn’t be desperately trying to argue right now, but sincerely say sorry to me.”

As Robert said the last sentence, his face twitched uncontrollably for his anger had reached its peak.

Emma looked up at him. She had indeed never said it. Too nervous and afraid that Robert would abandon her, she tried to argue against everything. She argued so much that she forgot to say sorry to him.

Emma thought, ‘Even if I throw caution to the wind and say sorry to him, he wouldn’t forgive me, right? Instead, he would probably hate me even more.‘

“You only think about yourself,” Robert said, feeling utterly powerless. Even if he wanted to deceive himself, the truth was right there in front of him–how could he possibly lie to himself?

“Emma, from now on, there is no more connection between us. This is my final act of leniency towards you.” With that, he steeled himself, clenched the USB stick in his hand, and walked away.

Emma’s eyes were filled with hatred as she watched his retreating figure. Clenching her fists tightly, Emma told herself that all of these was caused by Elysia.

If it weren’t for her giving the evidence to Robert, none of this would have happened.

+13 Wait, evidence! Emma suddenly realized something. Robert had the evidence of her harming Matthew. If he handed it over to the police or let others know, she couldn’t accept that.

Watching his blurry figure, she wanted to chase after him and destroy the evidence in his hand, but her body was too weak to move.

Robert walked all the way back to the Davis residence. By the time he arrived, it was already dark. Nora was pacing anxiously at the entrance of the residence.

She had just returned and didn’t know where he had gone as she went to handle company affairs early in the morning. The domestic staff told her that he left in a hurry, but didn’t know what he was going for.

She didn’t pay much attention at first, thinking he might come back soon. But as night fell and he still hadn’t returned, she began to worry.

In the past, this wouldn’t have been a problem, but ever since Matthew had passed away, Robert’s emotions had been unstable.

She was afraid that he might do something foolish if he couldn’t bear it.

She looked around anxiously, and just as she was about to mobilize the staff to search for him, she saw a figure staggering towards her in the distance. It surely was Robert.

She quickly went up to him and embraced him. “You naughty boy, where have you been? Do you know how I’m worried about you?”

Feeling the warmth of her embrace, Robert hugged her back when tears streamed down his face uncontrollably. “Nora, I’m sorry...

Only then did Nora realize that something was wrong with Robert. She gently patted his back and created a small gap between them to take a closer look at him.

His handsome features were pale, and his eyes were bloodshot from crying. Seeing him like this, Nora felt her heart ached.

“Robert, tell me what happened?”

Robert subconsciously touched the USB stick in his pocket. Looking into Nora’s earnest eyes, he hesitated about whether to tell her about it, but he couldn’t bring himself to expose Emma.

His tears flowed again; he was too weak...

“Robert... Seeing him crying, Nora hugged him again, comforting him as she used to when they were children.

After composing themselves, Nora and Robert wiped away their tears and walked into the Davis residence as if nothing had happened. Rachel’s mood had only just begun to improve slightly, and they couldn’t afford to upset her now.

In Fabian Group at Jorlandia, Joel handed a two–page document in his hand to Fabian.

Although there were only two pages, he had a hard time finding them.

“Mr. Evans, Ms. Rosewood was truly pitiable, who was said to be abandoned on a mountain right after birth in the dead of winter.

She almost didn’t make it as her body was blue and purple with cold, “Fortunately, an old man from the village who was gathering herbs found her. He thought she wouldn’t survive, but she turned out to be quite resilient and pulled through.

“However, her subsequent story is not very impressive. She dropped out of elementary school and was just like the other kids in the village, climbing trees and doing all sorts of mischief. But recently, her biological parents have found her,” said Joel.

2/3 16:57 Mon, 17 Feb of Chapter 172 11 Upon hearing the words “biological parents, Fabian’s brows furrowed slightly. He looked at Joel and said in a low voice, “Tell me more.”

“Her biological parents live in Sivro and run a listed company. Holden sent her a gift on behalf of the Evans family days ago on her birthday, “By the way, I checked the hospital where Mrs. Rosewood gave birth to her child back then, which happened to the hospital that Mrs. Evans lived in. It’s said that the child she gave birth to also died shortly after birth; added Joel.
