Chapter 61 A New Man
When Emily looked back again, Nathan's figure was no longer there, only Carol sitting alone, sobbing softly.
Bert understood some of what was happening and turned to Emily, confirming, "Is that Nathan's mother?"
Emily nodded awkwardly, "Uncle... Carol's not in a good mood today. Shall we come back?"
Bert frowned unwillingly, "I've already said I won't act impulsively. I'm just here to reason with Sophia. It's fine, go and comfort Carol, I'll go find Sophia directly."
"Don't..."
"Don't stop me, I spent over fifty dollars on a taxi to get here, and you want me to leave empty-handed?"
Money was hard-earned for Bert, and fifty dollars meant a lot to him.
Today, he must have been truly urgent to take a taxi.
Bert headed straight to the Reed mansion, and Carol stomped her feet in anger, "You people are all bastards! Every one of you is eyeing our money, trying to marry into our family? I'm not dead yet! This is the Reed family, not a place for you lowlifes to come and go as you please!!!"
Emily felt a pang of sympathy upon hearing this.
Carol always carried herself as if she were superior in front of her. Emily had never seen Carol so hysterical before.
It seemed Nathan's attitude towards her just now might not have been so good.
"And you!" Carol saw Emily nearby and charged at her, pointing her finger accusingly, "What are you up to? You can't bear children, so you let your sister seduce my son. How shameless your family is! All women flock to Nathan. Are you all afraid someone will snatch away Mrs. Reed's position?"
Emily couldn't bear to listen anymore, "Carol, weren't you quite satisfied with Sophia before? How did it become my fault for her seducing your son?"
"I was misled by all of you! I just wanted an heir, and coincidentally your sister got pregnant. Aren't you two colluding to scheme against my son? Do you dare to deny it?"
Emily laughed out of frustration.
Carol's imagination should be used in Hollywood as a scriptwriter.
"If that's what you think, then there's nothing I can do," Emily said, "Anyway, we won't see each other again in the future. I don't need to waste so much time explaining to you, and you wouldn't listen to my explanations anyway. That's it, I'll go inside and take a look."
Since Nathan wasn't outside accompanying Carol, he must have gone in to find Sophia.
If Bert were to see any intimacy between them, today's drama would definitely not end well. She had to stop it as soon as possible.
"You're not allowed in!" Carol suddenly shouted, grabbing Emily's arm and forcefully pulling her aside.
Carol's strength was too much for Emily, who was caught off guard and slammed into a tree.
Leaves rustled down heavily due to the force, falling on her head and clothes, making her look particularly disheveled.
Carol stood with hands on hips, scolding, "This is the Reed family's mansion. As long as I'm here, you won't step inside!"
She looked like an angry bull.
