Fiancé Uncle 278

Chapter 278

"Do I need you to just give it your all?" Sarah, with her cunning mind, didn't slap Emmalie in the face. Instead, she reached under the covers and pinched the soft flesh of her thigh hard.

Sarah warned. "Winnie, I told you before how Ivy snatched your father from me and even forced us into a corner. You should hate her, and you must hate her. But looking at you two it seems like you're getting along like her real daughter." Emmalie shook her head vigorously, nearly breaking it off. She had witnessed Sarah's craziness far too many times while growing up. This lunatic, when pushed to the edge, would surely tear apart the smooth path she had worked so hard to pave. Sarah often said, "In the worst-case scenario, we'll just die together."

But Emmalie couldn't bear to lose everything she had painstakingly gained, shaking her head like a bobblehead. "Mom, I only recognize you in this life. My relationship with Ivy is just a means to an end."

Her repeated assurances made Sarah chuckle. "I don't listen to your words. I watch your actions. Winnie, I'll be keeping a close eye on you... Remember that I'm always here. You'd better get me the information quickly

With her words lingering, Sarah estimated Ivy's return journey and hurriedly left.

No sooner had she walked out than Ivy pushed the door open, not even giving Emmalie a moment to regain her composure. "Emmalie, why do you look so gloomy?

"How are these caregivers taking care of you? Your clothes are stained with soup, and you don't even think to clean up?" Ivy was fuming, ready to storm out and cause trouble.

Emmalie had to rush to stop her. "Mom, it's fine. They're just earning a meager living. If we make things easier for them, their lives will be a bit more comfortable. I can change my clothes myself."

Ivy sighed repeatedly. "If only Thea had half of your kindness and understanding, I'd feel much more at ease."

After Emmalie changed in the restroom and returned, her expression still hadn't normalized. Sarah's threatening words echoed in her ears, extinguishing the last bit of her hesitation. "Mom, I want to work at Rowland Group... Can you help me talk to Max about it?" Ivy paused mid-stroke of her hair. "That's nonsense. Emmalie, your main focus should be on the piano. You've never company management or finance. Rushing into a corporate job will only tarnish your artist's image."

Ivy coaxed her softly. "Just listen to me. You need to concentrate on practicing the anything else, alright?"
