Armand had worked for Kieran for so long, so I thought that he must often punish and beat people. He might even have done some terrible things. Therefore, they must have some special pills or tools. And I was right!
At the coffee shop.
Emmalee was already there when I went over. I sat down, and she said unhappily, "What took you so long? I've been waiting for you!"
I only smiled, "It's worth the wait."
Emmalee didn't say anything. Instead, she leaned back and sized me up. "I've heard about what happened last night. Rachael, you did it! But no matter what you did, Marlon still loves Alicia. He has removed all the scandals this morning!"
"Really?"
"Yeah. If it weren't for Marlon, how could so many scandals disappear today?"
"So what?" I did not care about it.
"This means that no matter what you do, you can't defeat Alicia. Because Marlon still loves her, and you're not gonna win!"
I didn't say anything. Emmalee was right. I only wanted Alicia and Marlon to break up, so that my baby would have his father. But I never realized that if I wanted to get back at Alicia and the Cornells, I must make her get abandoned by Marlon. It would be best if he started hating her. Then Alicia would lose a powerful protector. That would be easier for me to get back at them!
"Emmalee, you're right. But Marlon would not always forgive Alicia. Especially she might have cheated on him. Let us say she is not pregnant with his kid!" I smiled.
Emmalee was shocked and stared at me. "You mean it?"
I got comfortable on my chair. "I just thought that Alicia might do it. After all, you know her well. So, what do you think?"
Emmalee's face changed. She leaned closer to me and asked seriously, "What do you want?"
I lowered my head and played with my fingers. "Nothing important. I just want to find the father of Alicia's baby. After all, it breaks my heart if my cute nephew doesn't know who his father is."
Emmalee stared at me and narrowed her eyes. "You come to me for her baby's father? You mean she's pregnant with Kaleb's kid?"
I looked at her and smiled. This was the first time that Emmalee had been so smart.
"Rachael, are you fucking kidding me?" Emmalee was so angry that she banged on the table and got up, attracting everyone's attention.
I hushed her and smiled as I pulled her back to her seat. "Emmalee, don't get angry!"
Emmalee shook off my hand. She did not sit down but glared at me. "I helped you because you said that you can make Kaleb marry me. But now he has a child. Why would I marry him?"
