Translator: 549690339
Emily Walker? Ha, she sounded so affectionate. Initially, she must have been putting on a show to deceive my father. Who would have thought that all this was just a play staged by Elia Parker to compete for the Carter family’s fortune!
Ignoring mother and daughter, Emily tried to suppress her anger and squat down to pick up the scattered flyers on the ground one by one.
As she was picking up the flyers, Iris Carter smirked sinisterly, walked past casually, and said, “Mother, let’s go, or we’ll be late!”
Having said that, Iris walked past Emily.
“Ah – it hurts -” As Emily reached out to pick up another flyer, a sharp pain penetrated the back of her hand, causing her unbearable pain and a loud cry!
The intense pain made Emily instinctively jerk her hand away. Following that, Iris screamed and fell awkwardly to the ground in an instant.
The other colleague handing out flyers with Emily heard the screams and ran over, worryingly helping Emily up from the ground, “Emily, are you okay?”
Looking at Emily’s tender fingers turning red and the skin seemingly broken by the pressure from high heels, Gabriella Teddy was very worried.
“Leanne!” Seeing her daughter fall, Elia Parker hurriedly ran over, helped Iris up, and asked with concern, “Leanne, are you okay?”
Iris, looking embarrassed, got up from the ground, raised her head angrily staring at Emily who had just stood up, “You dare to push me?”
Fingers being stepped on, and she still played the victim? Emily was angry and said, “If you hadn’t stepped on me, how could I have pushed you?”
She just reacted instinctively by pulling her hand away. Iris deserved this fall!
Iris was speechless, and suddenly rushed over to Emily, raised her arm, and a fierce and accurate slap was heard, landing on Emily’s left cheek with a ‘snap’!
With her cheeks burning and throbbing, Emily widened her eyes, never expecting that this mother and daughter would actually attack her in broad daylight.
She covered the slapped cheek, from the time her father passed away, she had been holding her breath and bearing with it all. Nowadays, she truly had enough of this mother and daughter’s behavior!
“Who are you? How can you hit someone!?” Seeing Emily getting hit, Gabriella also felt indignant and questioned the mother and daughter.
“It’s none of your business!” Iris snarled. Perhaps due to differences in temperament and appearance, most people could tell that the mother and daughter were not ordinary people. Gabriella was angry but didn’t know what to say, so she could only grit her teeth and endure it.
Seeing Emily received a slap from her daughter, Elia Parker laughed triumphantly, holding Iris and said, “Leanne, let’s go. Uncle Morgan is waiting for us.”
Iris raised her eyes, her mouth curled up in a cold smile, then turned around and left with Elia together.
Watching the backs of the mother and daughter leaving, Emily clenched her hands beside her and vowed that one day she would repay the humiliation they had brought her many times over.
“Young Master, do you want me to -”
“No need, start the car.”
Seeing that their young master had been looking at the not-far-away scene, Clayton Howard spoke up but was interrupted by Baron Stuart.
Baron Stuart shifted his line of sight, and the black Bentley drove away from the Flourishing Crossroads slowly.
