Please Come Back, Honey! novel Chapter 160

Chapter 160

It went without a saying Emma saw Alice’s rage, but it wasn’t a part of her concern. She walked toward them, pretending nothing had happened and sat opposite them before asking, “What brought you two here?”Jared answered her with a gentle tone, “Here’s the thing. I know what Arianna did, and I think she really went overboard.”Hearing that, Emma just pressed her lips together and kept quiet, waiting for him to continue.Then, he said, “We’re thinking that since she was your sister-in-law, can you give her a chance to turn over a new leaf for old times’ sake?” After saying that, he looked at her without a word. Although it looked like he was negotiating with her, the pressure and mere warning that he gave out from his gaze were daunting.Calmly, Emma looked into his eyes for a few seconds and then started chuckling.She was actually thinking about whether to continue to sue Arianna or not if Jared’s and Alice’s attitudes were more sincere. But it was obvious that they just wanted to force her to compromise. In fact, their aloofness was exactly the same as Thomas’ and Crystal’s.My, oh my! Birds of a feather do flock together, huh?After her laugh, she asked Jared calmly, “Did Arianna see me as her sister-in-law when she did such a thing to me?”When Jared heard that, he had no words to say. Then, Emma continued mocking them. “Don’t talk to me about old times. Arianna had never treated me as her sister-in-law, and you two didn’t take me as your daughter-in-law either!” She was so harsh and stern, criticizing them with every word.At this moment, Jared had a hard time controlling his expression. The Emma in his mind was introverted, quiet, and inarticulate. When did she become so sharp-tongued and fearless?On the other hand, Alice was provoked and pointed her finger at Emma’s nose before shouting, “Know your place, young lady! We’re negotiating with you now when we can actually find someone to stop you from filing the lawsuit!”“If that’s the case, then you should just go find your people to stop me.” Emma was completely undaunted. “I don’t believe you can cover the whole truth in this orderly world. Truth prevails. Ever heard of that?”Alice was grinding her teeth in anger after hearing that. While holding back Alice, who had lost it, Jared looked at the girl sitting in front of him, who had remained calm all this while, and said sternly, “We’re not joking with you, Emma. You should know that you have no power or patron in Jonestown, so you will definitely lose the fight against us.”Undaunted, Emma replied, “I’m not joking with you either.”“Emma Yates!” A furious Alice stood sharply from the couch, as she really couldn’t hold her anger anymore.She didn’t agree when Jared said that he wanted to meet Emma to talk because she had experienced how provocative Emma was now, as though she were a different person. Great! Just great! We’re getting rebuffed again and losing our dignity.From what she thought, they shouldn’t be meeting Emma, but they should just find someone to deal with her.Just as Alice was done shouting, they heard a knock on the door, and it came with Trevor’s anxious voice. “Open the door, Emma.”Not giving time for Emma to react, Alice bellowed, “Don’t open it!”If Trevor came in, they were going to have a family argument between them three for sure, for she didn’t know what was wrong with her son when he said that he was in love with Emma. And he was standing on Emma’s side on this matter, disregarding his parents’ and sister’s feelings.If they really started arguing in front of Emma, it would just let her have a good laugh and make her even more gloated. Ignoring Alice, Emma stood up from the couch slowly and told Alice calmly, “This is my house. Who are you to say no?”When Alice heard that, she was so enraged that she nearly fainted, just as she had previously after getting provoked by her.However, despite saying that Alice wasn’t in a position to say no, she didn’t open the door for Trevor. In fact, she didn’t plan to open the door for him, as she didn’t need his help to deal with this matter, and she also didn’t want to owe him anything anymore.She stood there in an unaffected manner and told Jared and Alice calmly, “Mr. Bateson, Mrs. Bateson, I think you’ve heard about Wilson Young.”“So, what?” Of course, they knew about Wilson. After all, Thomas had just used his connections to find Wilson to talk to him about Crystal. Although Trevor and Crystal weren’t on good terms, Jared and Alice didn’t stop contacting Thomas and his wife.Then, Emma continued, “I’m Mr. Young’s goddaughter, for your information. If you want to pressure me with your power, I’m not afraid to use Mr. Young’s name either.”Emma wasn’t someone who would take advantage of her power to be a bully, but whether it was Thomas and Crystal yesterday or Jared and Alice today, they were all pushing it too far. She couldn’t take it anymore; that was why she used Wilson’s name.It just so happened that Wilson said that after she had the Young Family supporting her back, there wouldn’t be anyone who would dare to bully her anymore. What he had said gave her the courage to use his name today.At this moment, Jared lost his voice. “What? You’re Wilson’s goddaughter?”Alice was in disbelief as well, since they knew clearly what kind of person Wilson was. No matter if it was the Bateson Family or the Sanders Family, or even the two families combined, they were nothing in front of Kingsford’s Young Family.“Yes. I can call him now if you don’t believe me.” As Emma said that, she grabbed her phone and dialed Wilson’s number under Jared’s and Alice’s horrified gazes.Meanwhile, Trevor’s knock from outside the door was turning hasty, but Emma didn’t bother him at all.After greeting Wilson on the phone, she said, “Mr. Young, I’m calling you to let you know that I accept the offer that you proposed yesterday. It’s such a blessing to be able to be your goddaughter. It’s a 100 percent yes from me.”“Really? Great!” Wilson’s delightful voice came through from the speaker of the phone. “After a few days, when my wife is discharged from the hospital, we’ll prepare a gift and meet your parents in Jonestown in person.”Wilson was still in the dark about Emma’s family situation, but Emma didn’t explain much and just said apologetically, “It’s okay. There’s no need for you to prepare the gift. But I might need your help to deal with some matter.”“What is it?” After asking her with concern, he said sincerely, “You can tell me anything. I’ll definitely help you. Even if I can’t help you myself, I’ll find someone who can!”When Emma heard that, her eyes reddened uncontrollably. Since the passing of her mother, she hadn’t felt such love from an elderly person for a long time.While suppressing her emotions, she told him about Arianna kidnapping her and also that Arianna’s parents were in her house, threatening her to spare Arianna.At this moment, Wilson was enraged on the other side of the phone. “Their daughter did such a wicked crime, and they still dared to threaten you?! They’ll see what will happen to them if they lay a finger on you!” With that, his intention of protecting her was crystal clear.
