“Ms. Louise, we won’t dare to do such things again!”
“We sincerely apologize to you this time, and we ask for your forgiveness.”
“We were foolish and lacked conscience last time. Ms. Louise, please forgive us. Otherwise, where else will we find such delicious snacks and authentic coffee in the future?”
“Okay, okay!” Emmeline waved her hand, “Let’s forget about it. No need to keep talking about it.”
The women gathered and chatted happily, making the atmosphere light and friendly.
Several of them sat down at tables, ordered coffee, and enjoyed pastries.
Emmeline told Sam that the bill for them was to be completely waived.
Meanwhile, Sonia was sitting in her hospital bed, watching a live broadcast where several female customers were apologizing at nightfall Cafe.
The incident had passed, and the cafe was now bustling with customers.
The place was crowded both upstairs and downstairs, and the business was thriving.
Although Sonia could not see Emmeline directly, she could sense her happiness through the live broadcast.
She also caught sight of a tall and imposing figure in a well-tailored black suit on the screen.
She knew it was Abel without a doubt!
Abel truly adored his wife, he always stood by Emmeline’s side!
Feeling lonely and cold in comparison, Sonia couldn’t help but feel a pang of discomfort, as if a cat had scratched her.
Frustrated, she turned off the live broadcast and decided to call her mother.
Michaela quickly picked up the phone.
“Sonia, I’m on my way to you. What’s wrong? Are you okay?”
“Are you on your way?” Sonia’s eyes welled up with tears, “I’m so angry that I feel like I’m going to explode!”
“What happened?” Michaela asked with concern.
Her daughter meant the world to her, and even the slightest upset in her daughter’s life would deeply affect her.
“It’s that awful Emmeline again!” Sonia vented, “You have no idea how arrogant and smug she is!”
Emmeline again?
Michaela remained silent.
Just last night, Glenn scolded her harshly.
He warned her that if she continued her scheming behind his back, he might lose his prestigious position!
The cousin had been sent away by Abel, becoming a potential time bomb that could expose Glenn’s corruption at any moment.
Moreover…
The four men that Michaela had secretly sent to Dracovia all returned with broken limbs.
Although Glenn was unaware of this, Abel had conveyed a message to her through Glenn.
Abel’s message was clear, which was, “Don’t cause trouble, or you might end up getting hurt!”
This time it was the four men, but who would be next?
Michaela felt a shiver down her spine.
Abel was right; it could very well be her next!
Ten minutes later, Michaela’s car arrived at the underground parking lot of Ryker Hospital.
After the driver parked the car, she took the thermos bucket and headed to the surgical VIP ward.
Inside the ward, Sonia was fuming with anger.
She had even thrown out both of the nurses who were attending to her.
Michaela walked through the living room and pushed open the door to the ward.
A banana came flying towards her, but she managed to dodge it just in time, avoiding it hitting her face.
“Sonia, what’s gotten into you?” Michaela asked, her expression displeased. “Why are you behaving like this? Can’t you stop causing trouble and making Mom worry?”
“You think I enjoy causing trouble?” Sonia’s eyes were red with anger. “You can’t even protect your own daughter, and you blame me instead?”
“Blame you? I’m not blaming you, but can’t you be more considerate of me?” Michaela said, exasperated. “For your sake, I can’t eat or sleep well, and my hair is turning white. Can’t you see how worried I am for you?”
“Don’t act like you’re the only one suffering!” Sonia retorted, holding her phone tightly. “Didn’t you want to get rid of that woman in Dracovia? Why is she still so arrogant?”
“Watch your words!” Michaela’s face turned serious, she was about to cover Sonia’s mouth.
“Are you afraid that no one would know this? Are you trying to put us in trouble?”
“I don’t want to put the both of you in trouble. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not being as capable as Emmeline. She can bully your daughter with ease!” Sonia sneered.
Michaela scolded, her patience wearing thin. “Isn’t Mom doing enough? I’m even taking risks for your sake!”
