Emily nodded her head as she was painting. Then, she changed a brush and said, "I know. You go and rest."
"Okay." Harold said before he left, "Elsie hasn't returned yet."
Emily looked down at her electronic watch. It was ten o'clock at night.
Since Emily talked to Elsie in the study that day, Elsie locked herself up in her room all night. When she came out, she took a shower and changed her clothes. Seeing 10,000 in cash on the coffee table, Elsie quietly put the money in her bag before leaving.
Given her birth mother, Emily couldn't act rashly against the Heytons, but that didn't mean that Elsie couldn't.
Elsie once suspected that Emily intended to make use of her. But after finding out that the purchaser was indeed the Heytons, and that Jackson was persecuting her family for Emily's birth mother, Donna, she could not care about that much. The only thing she wanted to do was to destroy the Heyton family.
So, the night she came back, she asked Emily, "What should I do to trip them up?"
Emily then was painting in the studio. After she returned home, she always stayed there until she was exhausted and sleepy. But when she walked on the corridor, she would still stand at her father's door for a long time. She regretted not telling him her recovery long ago.
She was suddenly enlightened after a car accident in her previous life. Therefore, she sometimes couldn't tell if she was mentally ill or if her brain was damaged by a high fever.
Though she was full of confidence to face what was about to happen in the future, things still followed the trajectory of her previous life. The only deviation was that Elsie, who had killed her in her previous life, was humbly asking her for advice before her.
"What can I do to trip them?"
"It's good to have the awareness," Emily looked at her and said, "Listen, what you need to do is..."
Emily never saw herself as a good person. She was openly competing for the resources of the Heytons. Jackson was in the electronics industry and his sideline was advertising. But now, the advertising business was booming. So, his advertising company was expanded and successfully listed on the NASDAQ in the United States last year.
Emily originally wanted to grab his partners and chances until his whole ad agency went bankrupt. Thanks to Stephanie's help and some big clients Vincent recommended from time to time, Emily's newly started business could go on smoothly with great efficiency. Besides, due to her strict requirements and the joint efforts of the whole company, their work received positive comments and thus the corporation earned a good name.
But it was not enough.
She couldn't keep up with her opponent's growth rate at all.
The opponent lost just a tiny bit of his strength, next to nothing.
She could even imagine Jackson's disdainful gaze.
After Elsie joined, the situation developed in a more exciting direction. Elsie mailed a dead chicken to the reception of Granding Group, scaring everyone in the company. At the same time, another one was sent to Donna's ward in the hospital. Donna fainted on the spot at the sight of the dead chicken.
Jackson had to take care of Donna as well as dealing with the company's affairs, busy all day long. After recovering from his injuries, Kamron planned to go to the Tea Manor for relaxation. Halfway there, he accidentally had a car accident and was knocked into his leg...
Elsie did all these, while it was all manipulated by Emily. On the surface, everyone would think Elsie made a move against the Heytons to avenge her father.
Although Jackson couldn't do anything with Emily, he could vent his anger on Elsie. Therefore, he directly called the police and asked them to investigate and gather evidence, trying to catch the person who sent the dead chicken to the company and the murderer who caused Kamron's car accident.
Unexpectedly, the person Emily had assigned to work for Elsie did everything neatly. He neither left any fingerprints nor revealed his face under the cameras, so the police failed to find any trace.
Only then did Jackson understand that Emily learned a lesson since the last time.
Emily pushed Elsie out as a shield and she was the one who secretly deployed everything. However, Jackson wouldn't tell Donna this. One was her biological daughter, while the other was his Granding Group. In Donna's eyes, the Granding Group was inferior to Emily without a doubt. Jackson would not ask such a silly question, much less told Donna about it, so as not to add to her grief and regret.
However, he never expected the inconspicuous girl to endure for such a long time.
Apart from having a thorough confrontation with Granding Group, Emily also did two major things in City Y. First, she won the Peck family's advertising designers by offering generous salaries, but the Pecks made no response. Second, Stephanie, a famous star, was her close friend and had agreed to shoot an advertisement downstairs of the Britt Group in mid-March. Moreover, it was free of charge, and Stephanie even licensed her posters to the Britt Group for free, allowing it to use them at will.
