Emild brightly as she looked at Natale. Mr. Langley, you’ll be there, right?
Natalie didn’t answer only slightly lifting her chin. “Marem is behind you”
Emma was startled and quickly turned around to look, but the space behind her was empty, and Marcus was nowhere to be seen.
Emma was angry. Jest as she was about
nound and sold her, Natalie had already disappeared by the time she looked back
Emma blinked in confusion. Wait Was she really that fast? How could she vanish in the blink of an eye?
Emma’s boasting and attempts to assert control delt utterly pointless. The frustration that had been simmering inside her now burned even botter.
Just because Marron was showing him lawer now, did Nathaniel dare think he could really get away with making their relationship public?
Bring the male sidechick” was even more disgraceful than being the female one
Unless Marcely did tease about his own reputation or that of the Holden family.
However, Charist was desperate to reclaim her biological dughter, so the needed to speed things up. She had to make sure that Marcus and she were forced into a situation where they had no choice but to many.
Tonight’s dinner, with both the Holden and Walker families present, was the perfect opportunity.
Everyone would witness her and Marcus together in the same bed. Even if Marcus didn’t like het, he’d have no choice but to marry her to take responsibility.
She wouldn’t even need to wait for her birthday party and could have the engagement party right away.
With sky on her side, she knew she couldcount on him to keepereating opportunities for her to be close to Marcos
Emmaeshaled a deep breath, stood on the bridge for a moment, then cally walked away
At 2:00 pm, luxury cars from the walker family rolled one after another into the Holden Residence
Connie and Natalie stood by the large floor–to–ceiling windows on the third floor of the Holden Residence, gazing down.
“Wow, Mr. Holden’s fiancée’s family really is rich!” Connie remarked in awe. “Let see what cars they have
“I see a Lamborghini, a Ferrari, a Rolls–Royce, a Bentley, a Maserati, a Maybach, a Range Rover it’s like a car show down there. Do they have so many people they can’t fit in just
Natalie’s expression remained cold, and she didn’t respond to Connie’s remarks. Didn’t Marcus say that the Waller family was always low–profile and mysterions?
There was nothing remotely low–key or mysterious about this was as if they were trying to make sure everyone knew they were the richest Camily in the country.
Outside the entrance, Emma stood by the door, her eyes lighting up as the Walker family’s car pulled up
As soon as the passengers stepped out, she dashed forward experly
“Dad Sky, Hector, Timothy, Mason. Where’s Lincoln and Mo
Emma knew the answer to her question. She had already called Lincoln eurbes, but his manager had picked up, explaining that Lincoln was on set and couldn’t go anywhere.
As for Charlotte, she didn’t answer the phone or reply to her messages.
Despite the unease growing at her, Emma kept a bright smile
She was still acting cute as always,
William potted Emma’s arm gently. “We’re at Mr. Holden Senior’s house. Stop clinging to me like a little girl, or people might say you’re naive,”
“I don’t need to be mature when I’m with you, Dad” Emma stuck out her tongue mischievously, then turned to loop her arm through sky’s. “Right, sky
“That’s right. You don’t have to be mature as long as you’re happy and healthy,” Sky said. His gaze softened, filled with affection for Emma.
“You just keep spoiling her,” William teased. At that moment, Marcus stepped forward to greet the family.
“Uncle William, Sky, Hector, Timothy, Mason this way, please.”
Mascus greeted each member of the Walker family warmly. “Aunt Charlotte and Lincoln didn’tcome
“Lincoln’s still busy filming on set, and my mom had something to take care of. She probably won’t be back until tomartove
From the side, Mason chimed in eagerly, “Marcus, can intern at your company after I graduate?
Mason had always looked up to Marcus. Growing up, while his tour elder brothers adored Emma, Mason often found himself being neglected.
There were countless times when he joined the others to play, only to realize that his brothers‘ attention was entuely on Emma. If he got left behind, no one seemed to notion
It was always Marcus who watched out for him, making sure he wasn’t left feeling isolated or forgotten
Unlike his brothers, who dotted endinsly on Emma, Marcus treated her with coolerence. He rarely even spared her an extra glance.
To Mason, this made Marcus all the more admirable. He felt that Marcus treated him better than he treated Emma, which only deepened Mason’s admiration for him
Stil, the Walker family had always been close knit, with no room for petty realnies or grudges. Even if Mason occasionally felt a pang of dissatisfaction, he never voiced t
Being naturally easygoing, Mason quickly got over any fleetingstrations.
truth, he cared deeply for Emma, just like the rest of his family.
Now that Mason had learned his biological sister was someone else, he naturally began to put some distance between himself and Emma
“If you inter at my company, I’m afraid Sky might come after me,” Marcus joked, which was unusual. He hadn’t forgotten how Sky once asked Emma to deliver medicine to him, agesture he still appreciated. Marcus burned to Sky with a smile.
“Sky, let’s have a dink together later.”
