Today was different from the past. No matter how vicious Emily was, she was still a tarnished figure. Winners took all since ancient times.
Xander was Wilfred’s secretary before, so he would naturally think about the feelings of his former boss. But there was no real power in his hand, so he couldn’t oppose Dorothy, who had taken over the power and became the new boss.
Emily stood at the door and heard their conversation. Then she walked in and first greeted Xander, “Mr. Rees, you can just do what my mom has told you. We are family.”
She deliberately emphasized the word “family”. The moment Dorothy saw her, she immediately became alert and defensive.
“Since Miss Morris has made the decision, I need no more talks.” Xander was also surprised to see her there, but she was still charged with murdering her own father, so he did not say much and left.
Dorothy and Emily were left in the room. When they made the eye contact, it was as if the lightnings had met.
Emily was Dorothy’s most hated person. She would never give up acting against her. Emily also knew she was accused of murdering her father, if she couldn’t defeat Dorothy, everyone would see her as a vicious daughter who killed her father.
“Mom, you are always concerned over our family. My father has just passed away for two years, and you rush to sell the company now.”
She said carelessly and even wanted to laugh.
“You’d better remember how your father died,” Dorothy said, “Morris Properties is just a shell company now. Do you really think your father had left much behind when he was alive?”
Hearing these words, Emily looked at her and reminded her coldly, “You can send more flowers to my father in the future. He loved jasmine the most when he was alive.”
