Emily immediately retorted, "Who are you cursing?"
"Whoever answers is the one I'm cursing."
"You... you're just jealous because you can't have Mr. Holt! Elena, you're so vicious. Just because you can't have him, you curse us. A fake is a fake, and I am the real daughter! You don't deserve to be with Mr. Holt!"
Elena found Emily's defensive attitude laughable.
She really treated Max like some sort of treasure.
Max suddenly glanced at the takeout bag in Elena's hand.
"Oh, Elena, I know why you're here. Is your family too poor to afford food? So you came here to pack up other people's leftovers? Hahaha..." Max laughed uproariously.
Emily looked smug as well.
The Whelan family had always been poor, but she didn't expect them to be this destitute after Elena joined them.
It was a good thing she was back; otherwise, she would be the one suffering right now.
"None of your business. Worry about yourself."
After Elena spoke, she gripped her bag, shoved past Max, and walked straight ahead.
Max's shoulder throbbed from the impact. He roared furiously, "Elena, if you go against me, I'll make sure your whole family knows no peace!"
Hearing this, Elena suddenly stopped in her tracks.
After pausing for a second, she walked away without looking back.
Once outside, she took out her phone and called Sean Maddox.
"Hey, Boss, what are your orders?"
"Look into something for me. Check if that Foster from Ironcrest Construction has any dealings with Max."
"On it, Boss. I'll get it done right away!"
Max's warning just now reminded Elena of what happened to her eldest brother.
Thomas sighed. "Perhaps it's because they know we no longer have the support of Aurelis Holdings Group, so they're doing this on purpose. However, they were the ones who begged for this engagement. It won't be that simple for them to back out now!"
"Exactly, I won't let this go! The Holt family must marry our daughter!" Melissa revealed a ruthless expression.
No one dared to walk all over the Sterling family!
"Emily, you need to hurry up and build a relationship with Mr. Holt. Once there are feelings involved, let's see what excuse Mrs. Holt can come up with. If she dares to break the engagement, I'll let everyone in Cresden City know that the Holt family is treacherous. Let's see how they can show their faces in this town!"
Emily responded obediently, "Yes, Mom, I understand."
She had tasted the forbidden fruit today, and Emily had already set her sights on Max.
And since Elena wanted to fight her for her fiancé, she definitely wouldn't let her succeed.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Vincent Holt glanced at his son.
"What were you doing just now?"
"Nothing, just went out for some fresh air," Max answered nonchalantly.
