Chapter 4
I didn't expect that this would be the result after returning to the Manners Family. It was also good, at least I didn’t have to worry about those disgusting things in the family.
After I told my parents about Alex and me, my parents were indignant.
"That Alex is really disgusting! The development of the Wilbur Family over the years is obvious to all. If it weren't for you, how could the Wilbur Family develop so fast."
"Daughter, it's wise for you to leave the Wilbur Family. They will regret it sooner or later."
And Madeline's focus of concern was on Celine.
She said to me with a strange look, "Emily, my fiancé has a cousin named Celine. Could she be the bitch who seduced my brother-in-law?"
I was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you have a photo of your fiancé's cousin?"
Madeline found a photo from her mobile phone album. After looking at it, my face became strange.
I nodded and said, "That's her!"
What kind of fate was this!
My parents squinted at Madeline with a dangerous look in their eyes.
Madeline hurriedly said, "Mom and Dad, don't look at me like that, it's none of my business!"
"You all know Charles, he is a good man. Celine was just his distant cousin, we don't have much friendship on weekdays, we just had a meal together some time ago."
I smiled and didn't care, saying, "It doesn't matter, Alex and I have divorced, even if Celine becomes the daughter-in-law of the Wilbur Family in the future, it has nothing to do with me!"
My mother slammed the table and said domineeringly, "No, my daughter can't be bullied like this. No way!"
"Madeline, your wedding with Charles will be held soon. You should make it clear to Charles and ask him to invite Celine to attend your wedding. I must vent my anger for my daughter in public!"
Father also snorted and said, "And the Wilbur Family, we must invite them to come!"
"Let them see with their own eyes what kind of noble status the so-called country girl they abandoned is. I will make the Wilbur Family kneel on the ground and ashamed in public!"
My parents' domineering attitude made me dazed and at the same time, I couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in my heart.
Was this the feeling of being protected? This was my family!
Madeline poked me secretly and whispered, "Our parents are domineering!"
I smiled and nodded.
Madeline smiled bitterly and said, "This is why I want to escape from this home. Emily, you don't know how many times I have been beaten by their mixed doubles since I was a child. Fortunately, you are back. Finally, someone can help me share the firepower!"
I patted her shoulder and said with a smile, "Madeline, you are too naive! My parents are old and in poor health. They don't have the strength to beat people. From now on, I, your sister, will be responsible for beating you."
"Don't worry, I will make up for the sisterly friendship you have missed for so many years!"
Madeline widened her eyes and looked at me in disbelief.
My divorce with Alex was reported by some media.
The Wilbur Family complained first, issued an announcement directly, threw dirty water on me and hired water troops to destroy my reputation.
Netizens who did not know the truth left comments one after another.
"Emily is too arrogant. She thinks that Alex’s company is supported by her. She wants to take all the power. She doesn't even consider her status."
Chapter 5
[That's right. She is just a country girl. She really thinks she is the savior of the Wilbur Family. If it weren't for Alex, who would know who she is!]
[When she divorced, she wanted to take half of the Wilbur Family's property. She is so shameless!]
[Shameless gold digger, go to hell!]
[I heard that Alex and his female assistant Celine checked into a hotel some time ago and were caught by Emily and the Wilbur Family!]
[That's all fake news. Alex also came out to clarify that it was Emily who wanted to take half of the Wilbur Family's property and deliberately set up a trap.]
[Bah, she plotted against her own husband. Emily is really a piece of shit!]
I ignored the noise on the Internet. My parents didn't take action either. They wanted to wait for the public opinion on the Internet to slander me to get bigger instead.
At this time, once the Manners Family took action, at most they would scare the Wilbur Family.
What my parents wanted to do was to make the Wilbur Family make more trouble, so that they could beat the Wilbur Family to death with one stick.
In the words of Madeline, "My parents look kind and gentle on the surface, but they are actually very cruel. They are very good at playing the long game of fishing for big fish. I have a deep understanding of this. Just get used to it!"
***
On the day of Madeline and Charles's wedding, the Manners Family invited many business celebrities. The wedding venue was set up in the old manor of the Manners Family.
When Alex and Celine came to the manor, they immediately attracted the attention of many people. Alex’s father and mother smiled and moved closer to those business leaders, deliberately trying to make friends.
Many guests were talking about it in private.
"The Wilbur Family has found a big partner this time. No wonder they abandoned Emily, the business genius, without hesitation!"
"Yeah, who would have known that Celine would be the distant cousin of the Manners Family's son-in-law? Although they are distant relatives, as long as the Manners Family gives the Wilbur Family a little more resources in the future, it will be enough for the Wilbur Family to struggle for decades less!"
"Even so, we shouldn't encourage those idiots on the Internet.”
"If it weren't for Emily, the Wilbur Family would have gone bankrupt long ago. Others don't know what the Wilbur Family is like, but how can we who have dealt with the Wilbur Family not understand it?"
"Isn't the genius personality created by the Wilbur Family for Alex all because Emily has been silently working behind him? Without Emily, how could Alex have the ability to support the Wilbur Family's industries!"
"Just let Emily go out of the house and step on Emily hard. The Wilbur Family did this too unkindly."
"Who let the Wilbur Family hold on to the big legs? Emily can only blame her for being unlucky and running into such an ungrateful family!"
"Hey? Is that Emily at the dining table? How could she enter the Manners Family's manor? Who brought her in? "
At this time, someone found me feasting at the table.
At the buffet table, I was eating sweets to replenish my brain power.
The Manners Family's industry was too huge. In order to understand the Manners Family's industry in detail, I had done enough homework during this period. I had been checking information day and night, which has consumed a lot of energy. I look haggard because of staying up late.
Chapter 6
At the same time, Alex and Celine also found me.
They were stunned at first and then walked towards me with arrogance and disdain.
Alex said to me sarcastically, "Emily, how did you get in?"
But then he smiled mockingly, "You sneaked in here because you knew that I would come to attend Miss Madeline's wedding today, so you wanted to apologize to me!"
"Unfortunately, it's too late. Celine and I are going to get married soon. You don't have a chance!"
Celine looked at me with disdain and said, "Emily, for the sake of our acquaintance, you should get out of here. Today is a good day for my cousin's wedding. If the Manners Family knows that you sneaked in, I guarantee that you will end up in a miserable situation."
I glanced at them indifferently and didn't bother to pay attention. And my attitude obviously angered Alex and Celine.
Alex angrily yelled at me, "Emily, don't be shameless! Celine and I are doing this for your own good. You know very well what kind of status the Manners Family has in the business world."
"Today is the day of Miss Madeline's wedding. So many business leaders are here. If you sneak in here with a notorious reputation, once you are discovered by the Manners Family, breaking your legs will be the least of your worries."
"Also, I tell you clearly that it is impossible for you and me to be together anymore. Don't even think about remarrying me!"
His words made me want to roll my eyes. How could he be so narcissistic! Who wanted to pester him to remarry him? Who was I offending by eating sweets quietly here?
Seeing that I ignored them, Celine directly knocked the small plate of sweets from my hand and said impatiently, "I'm talking to you, are you deaf?"
After that, Celine looked at me provocatively, as if she was sure that I didn't dare to attack her here.
Unfortunately, she made a wrong bet.
I didn't hesitate at all and slapped her directly. The crisp slap sounded, making many guests look surprised.
Alex and Celine were both stunned.
Afterwards, Celine's eyes showed resentment and excitement and she covered her face and said to me fiercely, "Emily, you are looking for death yourself, so you can't blame others! If you dare to make trouble in the Manners Family's territory, no one can protect you!"
After the Manners Family's security guards noticed the movement here, they quickly surrounded us.
Celine covered her face, looking like a victim, pointing at me and saying to the security guards, "This damn bastard pretended to be a guest and sneaked into the manor. I found out and attacked me. Hurry up and arrest her."
Without waiting for the security guards to respond, Celine grinned at me, "You are dead!"
