Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 593

Chapter 593

"I can't agree with her behavior."

As Emma was close friends with Kendall, she had heard a lot about Kelly. Still, she didn't have to look into it that much as everyone in Orapolis knew of the fight between the biological and adopted daughters of the Parker Family. Most people stood on Kendall's side as they thought it was a matter of fact that she would take over Parker Corporation as the biological daughter unless she was incapable of doing so.

However, some could understand Kelly's actions as well. After all, she had been trained to be the heir in the past two decades, but just as she was about to take over the company, she suddenly found out that she wasn't the Parker Family's biological daughter. Who wouldn't try to grasp at straws if they were her? Nobody liked to have their seat taken by someone else, after all.

"With you helping Kendall, I feel much more at ease. She used to hold her own training programs, and she'd make some small trinkets to sell on the internet for some pocket change, so she doesn't know the risks of doing business."

"Kendall is actually really smart and a fast learner. Besides, Mr. Coleman often gives her advice and guides her too."

As the two chatted while they ate, Emma's mood changed for the better, and her appetite improved as well. In the end, the two left the restaurant with full bellies.

"Why do I feel like we went to a buffet? Whenever someone goes to a buffet, they'd always eat more than usual to get their money's worth and end up eating more than they can handle."

"Do you like buffets? I'll take you to a hotel buffet tomorrow."

Emma easily agreed.

After getting in the car, Roger asked, "Shall we watch a movie?"

Upon seeing her hesitating, he added considerately, "If you don't feel like watching, I'll take you home."

"Thanks."

At that moment, Emma only wanted to return to her home and take a good rest as a working elite like her was normally swamped with work and barely had any time to rest. Now that she didn't have to work overtime for once, she wanted to sleep early or look at some videos and watch the news to relax.

Roger smiled without saying anything and started the car, sending her home.


Half an hour later, they arrived. Emma said, "Thanks for taking me home, Roger."

Roger replied with a smile, "You don't have to be so courteous with me. Even if we can't become husband and wife in the future, we're still friends. Besides, you're Kendall's friend, and I'm her brother, so you can drop the formalities around me."

Emma smiled and exited the car with the bouquet he gifted her. After waving him goodbye, she headed into her residential area with the bouquet in her arms. Roger watched her leave, and after her figure disappeared into the night, he finally drove away.

Ten minutes later, Emma returned to find Toddy sitting by the entrance of her apartment, and there were even a few bottles of wine next to him, two of which were empty.

"Toddy? Why are you here?"

Emma frowned. He'd drunk a lot again, but he didn't go to a bar today, knowing that she wouldn't come to pick him up even if he got drunk, so he came to her house instead.

"Why did you come back so early from your date? Does he not meet your fancy, or do you not want to be with him at all?"

He stood up and reached out to grab her shoulders, but she slapped his hand away. "How much did you drink? Are you drunk again?"

His breath reeking of alcohol, Toddy lowered his head and looked at the empty bottles on the floor. "I thought that you'd only come back after I finished all these bottles. I wanted to get drunk, but I couldn't."

Two bottles of wine were not enough to defeat him as he had a high tolerance as a result of years of dealing with clients, and he would only get drunk if he drank a lot on an empty stomach.

He'd done so much for Dylan, but Dylan had transferred the woman he liked… No, Dylan was not wrong. He was the one at fault for realizing it too late. If he had realized his feelings while Emma still liked him, they might have already gotten married and she might even be pregnant with his child in her belly by now.

Toddy's gaze slid downward and fixed intently on her model-like figure without moving away.

Emma frowned and said indifferently, "Go back if you don't need anything. I'm going inside. Make way."

At that, she pulled out her keys and was about to open the door.

"Emma." Toddy extended a hand toward her once more, but she slapped it away again. Enraged, he strode forward and forcibly pulled her into his embrace.

Although Emma did not have any prior training as Kendall did, she had been working for a few years with Dylan, so she had a few tricks up her sleeve to deal with perverts. She bent her knee and sent it flying toward Toddy's stomach, and as he jolted in pain, she stomped her foot on his feet before shoving him away.

Toddy was drunk, so his reaction was slower than usual, and he hadn't expected Emma to do this to him. After taking a hit to his stomach, he winced in pain, and another burst of pain shot up from his foot upon being stepped on viciously. Just like that, he stumbled backward as she shoved him hard and collapsed on the floor, even breaking the unopened bottles of wine. As the wine poured out, the stench of alcohol grew even stronger.

"Emma…" he called out softly.

"Emma…" he called out softly.

However, Emma hurriedly opened the door and bolted inside.

Seeing that, Toddy ignored the aching from his stomach and foot and hurriedly crawled up to dash into the house as well, but he was too late, for Emma had already closed the door. He even heard her turning the lock inside.

Standing by the entrance, Toddy knocked on the door relentlessly. "Emma, Emma!"

"Emma, let me in so we can have a talk, all right? I know you still think of me, and I know that I was a b*stard who hurt you in the past. It's all my fault; I made a mistake, and I understand if you don't feel like forgiving me immediately, but please don't avoid me, okay?"
