Chapter 85: Will Definitely Stand by Your Side
Early the next day, while Emma was having breakfast, she received a call from her bodyguard.
“Miss, I’ve completed the investigation. Yesterday evening, Mr. Leer took Miss Sophia to visit a woman named Olivia Prescott. They spent nearly three hours with her before returning…” The bodyguard’s words were abruptly cut off by a busy tone.
The name Olivia Prescott reverberated in Emma’s mind, triggering a cascade of images featuring Victor and Olivia. Questions flooded her thoughts: What transpired during those three hours? Why did they bring Sophia along with them?
Fury surged within Emma, causing her to stand up abruptly, tossing her phone onto the table with a furious glare.
Jacob Thornton, who was seated across from her, paused his meal, knitting his brows as he looked at Emma.
He only saw his daughter standing by the table with a ferocious expression, and not far away, a shattered phone lying on the ground.
“What’s the matter?” Jacob set aside his chopsticks, his voice adopting a serious tone.
Emma’s eyes trembled as she met her father’s gaze, grinding her teeth as she said, “Olivia is back! It seems Victor intends to reconcile with her. He’s been distancing himself from me lately!”
As she spoke, her tone unexpectedly carried a hint of pity.
Hearing this, Jacob’s expression darkened. “His parents know about this?”
To his knowledge, Olivia had left without a word, leaving only a divorce agreement behind. As a result, the two elders of the Leer family held a grudge against her.
Now, she had the audacity to return and re-enter Victor’s life. If the two elders were to find out…
Emma’s brow twitched upon hearing her father’s words, and a thought flashed through her mind.
Jacob’s subsequent words confirmed her suspicions. “Find an opportunity to inform Victor’s parents about Olivia’s return. They will be extremely displeased with her.”
Emma nodded in affirmation and resumed her seat.
Seeing her regain composure, Jacob furrowed his brows and spoke with emphasis, “Olivia has just returned, and we cannot be certain of Victor’s true intentions. Don’t lose your composure. Over the years, you have been by Victor’s side, and his parents have witnessed your sacrifices. Even if it’s that woman, they will undoubtedly stand by your side. There is nothing to fear.”
Her father’s words reassured Emma, who felt a sense of calmness and regained her composure. “I understand. I will stay calm.”
…
At the same time, Olivia finished breakfast and sent the two little boys to kindergarten early.
The teacher was waiting at the door and showed concern when she saw Olivia with the two children. “Sebastian and Ethan are feeling better, right?”
Olivia smiled and nodded. “They have recovered. Thank you for your concern.”NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
The two little boys politely greeted the teacher by her side. “Good morning, teacher!”
Observing their exemplary behavior, the teacher’s eyes brimmed with affection.
While they were talking, they heard the sound of a car door opening and closing.
Instinctively, they looked up.
Not far away, a conspicuous Bentley was parked by the roadside.
Victor stepped out of the car, carrying Sophia in his arms.
He seemed to intend to bring the little girl over directly, but when Sophia saw the person at the entrance, she struggled to get down from his arms.
Victor didn’t persist and, following her lead, gently placed her on the ground. However, as he extended his hand to reach for hers, Sophia had already taken a few small steps, moving away from him.
Seeing this, Victor couldn’t help but pause, subconsciously turning his head to look in the direction of the entrance.
There, he saw Olivia and her group, all smiling at their daughter. Olivia went a step further, taking a few strides forward and extending a warm gesture of welcome to Sophia.
