Emily Allen left the television station with a dejected look and immediately got into a car parked by the roadside.
"That bitch Charlotte Thompson! She really thinks she’s something special."
Seeing her, Ryan Richard couldn’t help but ask, "How did it go? Did you see Charlotte Thompson?"
"Of course I saw her," Emily Allen snorted coldly.
Upon hearing this, Ryan’s eyes glinted with a touch of eagerness, "So, did she agree to give you the money?"
"What money? Do you have any idea how that bitch humiliated me?"
Just thinking about Charlotte’s face filled with indifference and sarcasm made Emily’s hands clench into fists, the knuckles turning somewhat pale.
"How could that be, you are her own sister after all." Ryan’s tone held a mix of emotions.
"Own sister? She’s now Miss Thompson, how could she possibly think highly of me?"
Emily’s face gradually twisted with resentment, "Isn’t she just lucky to be born into a good family? If it weren’t for the country finding her, what would Charlotte Thompson count for in front of me?"
"No way, we can’t just let this go," Ryan said indignantly.
No matter what, they had to cling tightly to Charlotte. Google seaʀᴄh novel⟡fire.net
"What can we do now?" Emily turned to look at Ryan.
"You and Charlotte are half-sisters with the same father; she might not recognize you, but how can she possibly not recognize her own biological father?"
A cunning smile spread across Ryan’s lips.
"Yes! Hurry back to the Allen family."
Emily exchanged a glance with Ryan, instantly understanding what he was thinking, and hastily urged him on.
Without any hesitation, the two of them rushed back to the Allen family home, where they could hear the sounds of arguing before they even entered the door.
"Ethan Allen! Do you still want to live this life or not!"
"If you don’t, get out!"
Then came a woman’s heart-wrenching cries, and on hearing such sounds, Ryan’s expression turned sour, but Emily walked in nonchalantly, pushing the door open.
"What’s with all the crying, has someone died?" Emily said with impatience, looking at Mia Stewart sitting on the sofa wiping her tears.
These days, Emily had been living quite comfortably, which made her even less willing to return to the Allen residence. Mia had called her several times, but Emily had always brushed her off.
Ethan Allen was still his usual sloppy self. Since the last time he saw Charlotte, he had become even more deranged, drowning his sorrows in alcohol daily and sometimes caressing an old photograph, muttering to himself.
Mia had always been curious about what that photograph was, and today, while cleaning, she sneaked a peek at it.
To her shock, the woman in the photo turned out to be Sophia Thompson!
In an instant, Mia felt as though she had been betrayed beyond measure.
Deep down, Mia still cared a tiny bit for Ethan Allen, which is why she had not chosen to leave him.
However, upon seeing that photo, Mia didn’t know how to describe the turmoil inside her.
And just then, Ethan Allen came in. He went crazy trying to snatch the photo from Mia’s hands and babbled curses at her to get out.
Those words ignited the anger Mia had accumulated over time, resulting in an outburst.
She started arguing with Ethan Allen.
That’s when Emily came back.
