Coincidentally, Joseph brought the maid over to carry the things we bought and interrupted the conversation.
We did not bring it up after that, so I thought it was over. However, Emery actually kept it to heart. Not two hours after we got back, she appeared at our doorstep. She took out an entire stack of documents and dumped it on the table, telling us that she wanted to groom Summer.
“We’re all family here, so I’ll cut to the chase. Summer is a diamond in the rough for business. Let her come back and learn how to do business with me. She can take MBA courses too. I’ll fully support whatever project she comes up with in the future and will not intervene. There’s only one condition. I’m not letting a talent like you get snatched away, so we need to sign a contract, so I don’t have to worry.”
Summer clearly did not think about that, so she did not respond and merely looked at Ashton and me.
Suddenly, a lazy voice grew louder from afar. “The Fullers has so many properties waiting to be inherited. It’s still uncertain whether the kids could do it, but how great of you to snatch an heir away to make money for you. That’s quite a plan you got there.”
Holden walked down the stairs with his silk pajamas and messy hair. Anyone would know he just got of bed from a glance.
He’s still here?
“This is family business. Keep out of it.” Emery could not care less about who he was. She was ruthless if someone spoiled her mood. “You, however, are on all the covers of entertainment magazines after just getting back, Mr. Taylor. It looks like you’re very popular no matter where you go. Are two kidneys enough for you?”
“Since when did you care?” Holden tied the drawstring at his waist while coming down. “Would you like to try and see whether two is enough?”
After the incident with Hunter, Emery already detested people like Holden, that went around flirting with girls. So, now that he triggered her, I had to interject immediately, “Things are getting out of hand, you two. Can we talk about something else in front of the kids, for my sake?”
