When Emily entered the door, Dorothy came out from the study. Face to face, they stared at each other.
"Mrs. Morris, aren’t you going to the company today?"
She called her Mrs. Morris, and her tone was strange.
"Emily, you're back just in time. I am just going to ask you if you want to go to work in the company!" When Dorothy saw Emily dressed in beautiful clothes in the early morning and that she was different from what she had expected, her heart was uncomfortable due to anger, and she gritted her teeth to maintain the smile on her face, "You have been discharged from prison for almost a month, so you should get a proper job..."
Emily of course knew that Dorothy was making things difficult for her. The company had thousands of pairs of eyes, so there would be thousands of sinful topics about her. Were she someone else, she would not have agreed. But if she wanted to win back what she had lost, the first step was to get into the company.
"Of course, I will trouble you to arrange a position for me." She smiled extraordinarily brightly. With her oxblood red lips, she looked beautiful and malicious, "It doesn’t have to be some significant position. I will be satisfied as long as it is not very bad."
She had to take it step by step.
Dorothy lifted the corners of her mouth and asked abruptly, "I heard that Mr. Fox harassed you, right?"
Emily was smart enough to guess that her malicious stepmother would definitely join hands with others to make her suffer, but she was at her wits' end, so she had no choice but to face him. It had been fortunate for her to be able to leave safe and sound.
"Dorothy, you are well-informed." She went to the sofa, sat down, and took out a cigarette.
Since Emily returned to the Morris family this time, Dorothy seemed to have become someone else. She was not as aggressive as before.
"He is such a lecher. If he had not been in Morris Properties for many years and made considerable contributions..."
One mountain did not allow two tigers. Emily and Louisa could not live in the same house.
The smoke in Emily's mouth was thicker and thicker, and her eyes seemed to be protesting. If there had not been Dorothy, Emily and Louisa might have been able to get along like normal sisters, and Emily would not have to play the bad guy and take away the man Louisa loved in such a disgraceful way.
The wound she left on Louisa's heart would not heal for the rest of her life.
Emily said thoughtfully, "I'm afraid I cannot give him back to you. I hope you can forget him as soon as possible because soon he will be your brother-in-law."
That's right, she had to rely on this man to turn around everything completely.
And throughout C City, only he could support her. Even if the sky had collapsed, she would not let go.
