Eleven Years All to the Wrong Man novel Chapter 212

"What's there to be afraid of? You have Mr. Cooper looking out for you, so what does she matter? Besides, she's not so different from us, is she? We're all living off Mr. Cooper's money. She's not so high and mighty!"

The more his fear grew, the more it morphed into a blind arrogance. The frustrations of Thomas's past life now fueled his new, emboldened personality.

Melissa didn't know what to say, and her father's words weren't sinking in. She just stood there, looking utterly lost.

Meanwhile, Emma remained seated, her expression unchanged. She recalled Melissa's panicked reaction—like a mouse seeing a cat—and couldn't help but smile again.

She didn't have strong feelings about Melissa. In the past, she might have felt resentment and anger, but now…

She was about to divorce Evan. All his past messes and the people involved had nothing to do with her anymore. She wasn't going to waste her time or emotional energy on people and things that were no longer relevant to her life.

After her tests were done, Emma went straight back to the Heights.

Her main purpose today was to pack her belongings and move everything to her new home. She had found the place a couple of days ago, and all the contracts and deposits were finalized.

Skipping lunch, Emma worked frantically to pack everything. She then called a moving company to transport her things to the new house.

She stayed behind alone to clean up. Since returning from Riverton City, Evan hadn't come home once, nor had he called. They hadn't been in contact for a long time.

After thinking it over for a while, Emma sent Evan a message.

He arrived around six o'clock. The day had been clear and sunny, and now the evening sky was painted with a sunset of orange and yellow that filled half the horizon.

The air was cool, with a biting wind. The moment he opened the front door, the familiar rush of warm air was gone. The house was empty and cold. No lights were on; it was a dark, cavernous space where he could see nothing clearly.

Staring into the empty house, Evan was suddenly overwhelmed by a profound sense of powerlessness.

As this feeling consumed him, it slowly gave way to anger. His heart felt heavy with frustration. He couldn't understand what Emma was trying to do.

Was she really going to get an abortion? Divorce him, leave this home, and never see him again?
