Chapter 184
As Emma spoke, she stretched out her index finger and poked Trevor's abdominal muscles. Trevor's expression suddenly became uncomfortable since he couldn't stand it. After all, which man could?
He had to take a deep breath and say, "Okay, I promise you."
"Please, thank you, and goodbye." As soon as he agreed, Emma quickly thanked him and ran away.
Having gone through the embarrassing experience in the hotel that morning, Emma had learned her lesson now. During such suggestive and dangerous times, she should run as soon as possible to avoid any embarrassing incidents.
Trevor was speechless.
Why was she so stuck-up? Why did she run away as soon as he agreed to it?
He gritted his teeth, closed the door, and turned toward the bathroom.
Once Emma returned home, she took a deep breath upon realizing something after this incident—if someone was being shameless in front of her, she only needed to be more shameless than the other party to suppress them.
She then called Wilson and told him about her moving into the house. Wilson was very happy that she had accepted the gift.
The man asked her over the phone, "Did Crystal contact you?"
Emma shook her head. "No."
Wilson snorted and said, "I guess she will contact you today. I found someone to put some pressure on Thomas, so she must apologize to you!"
There was no news after Crystal's talk with Emma in the cafe last time, and there was no mention of Crystal apologizing to her either.
Wilson took this matter very seriously since he was a leading figure in the field of screenwriting in the literary world. Even if he didn't have a friendship with Emma, he couldn't accept Crystal's despicable behavior of copying other people's manuscripts.
As such, Wilson had been paying attention to this matter and insisted on making Crystal apologize.
"Yeah." Emma didn't plan on letting the woman off easily either.
As Wilson said, Crystal contacted Emma and asked the latter to meet in the afternoon, to which she agreed.
When Susanna learned of this, she immediately dragged Emma out. "Let's go and choose some clothes. Didn't that cousin sister of the Young Family give you a card? Let's go to her store to pick out some stuff."
Susanna added, "Even if you don't have a card, I am still qualified to give you a few sets as a gift as
their ambassador. Let's dress up beautifully, crush Crystal, and see how long she can be pompous!"
Emma was dragged out by Susanna in such an imposing manner. As the appointment was in the afternoon, the two went to have some lunch first before shopping. While choosing clothes, she added, "Isn't that b*tch now the boss of her company? I think she's been dressing like a corporate woman lately. You should do the same style today and stand up against her."
Susanna continued, "In terms of career, you are much stronger than her now."
Crystal once relied on the resources provided by Trevor to become an A-list actress, but some time ago, after her self-hyped behavior that she was going to marry Trevor was leaked, her image plummeted.
If Thomas didn't have the money to let Crystal open a company, she would not have been able to continue in the entertainment industry now.
As for Emma, she now held the exclusive screenwriting rights of two TV series, and her career was booming.
"I'd better wear the style I like." Emma gave up the domineering-looking suit that Susanna handed her, and instead focused on a light trench coat.
When she was with Trevor in the past, she had lost her own identity while imitating Crystal.
At that time, Crystal wore dignified styles and wore stylish dresses with high-heeled shoes every day.
In reality, Emma didn't like that style at all. She liked comfort and simplicity in the form of canvas shoes
and jeans, as well as loose clothes. In other words, she liked to be comfortable.
Emma smiled and said to the clerk, "I'll try this trench coat."
It was early autumn, and it was quite cold in the afternoon when the sunlight was weak, so the trench coat was a suitable choice.
After Emma came out of the fitting room, Susanna had to admit that the light beige color suited Emma.
She only had to stand there to look fresh and artistic. In the end, with the help of Susanna and the clerk, Emma paired it with slender black pants and short boots.
When she appeared in the cafe to meet Crystal in such an outfit, Crystal was stunned by her good looks as her pupils widened.
In particular, Emma was holding two books she had just bought from the bookstore on the way. There was an extremely pretty bookstore next to the cafe. She went in and bought two books for herself.
Crystal looked at Emma in amazement while the latter walked toward her, and she couldn't help but think of the heroines in idol dramas who were fresh and refined, and with Emma's appearance, she could certainly land a role in such dramas.
When Crystal was still an actress, she wanted to play such a role countless times but was rejected by the director.
The director said that her temperament was too mature for such a role, and the implication was that she was not fresh and refined enough.
At this moment, Crystal gritted her teeth when she saw Emma appear in front of her.
After Emma sat down, she immediately sneered and said, "You didn't buy these fakes from a street stall, did you, Emma?" Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
The latter replied, "I am an original creator. I have always only supported originals and will never buy imitations."
Emma's remarks not only clarified that she bought the genuine products of this designer brand, but she also mocked Crystal for stealing and plagiarizing her manuscript. Naturally, Crystal's expression stiffened when she heard that.
Emma is really getting more and more hateful. When did she become so aggressive? It seems that she was pretending to be well-behaved and sensible in front of Trevor!
Crystal was so angry that she gritted her teeth, then Emma reminded her kindly at the right time, "Miss Sanders, if my guess is correct, you've asked me out today to apologize to me, right?"
Emma's words pierced Crystal's heart. The woman clasped her hands for a while and calmed down. She didn't forget what her father had said to her when she was about to go out.
She was reluctant to come to apologize to Emma; she would rather fight the woman and lose than compromise and bow before her.
If the target of her apology was someone else, she would not have such a strong rejection, but that person was Emma. Emma had once been defeated by her, and she was the one who stole the man
she wanted to marry…
She didn't want to apologize at all.
However, Thomas said, "You have to endure hardships in order to become superior. Emma is only relying on Wilson's power, but why does an elderly man like Wilson want to protect Emma so much?"
Crystal looked at Emma in amazement while the latter walked toward her, and she couldn't help but think of the heroines in idol dramas who were fresh and refined, and with Emma's appearance, she could certainly land a role in such dramas.
