S21 30. Painful Slap for Barbara

“I want to apologize,” Barbara choked. “To be honest, I’m just an assistant here and the gown is Emily’s design. Once again I am sorry. I just want to amaze you all. I don’t want to be constantly belittled by you girls.”

In an instant, the comments flooded. Barbara could not bear to read it. She grabbed the phone and ran out of the room.

“Auntie, where are you going?”

Louis’ question hung in the air. Barbara disappeared without a word.

“Will she be okay?” Emily asked while wiping her eyes.

Kara stroked Emily’s chubby cheeks, helping her dry her face. “Auntie needs time to be alone. Her heart is currently in turmoil. But later, she will definitely smile again.”

Emily exhaled a long breath. After getting out of Kara’s arms, she looked at Philip.

“Thank you very much, Philip. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have known that Auntie was planning to steal my work.”

Philip nodded. “Actually, it was just a coincidence. I saw her doing live stream. So, I secretly watched it. Hopefully, she can learn and come to her senses from this incident.”

Louis nodded in agreement. “Auntie was really devastated. She must have given up. But Emily, your acting was really cool.”

While Louis gave her thumbs up, Emily pursed her lips. “It wasn’t an act. I was really annoyed with Auntie. If she stole the design of your building or car, you would be annoyed too.”

“Yeah, if I was in your position and Barbara wasn’t our aunt, I would have reported her to the police.” Louis nodded confidently..

“Kids, since this problem has been resolved, how about you go to. school? Your teachers and friends must be wondering why you were late.”

The twins’ eyes suddenly widened.

“Daddy’s right! We have to go to school!”

“Come on, Philip! We’re leaving now.”
