Unlike Scott, when Bella saw Emma, her eyes were filled with tenderness. Especially seeing her cry so sadly, she felt sad too. If it weren’t for Scott grabbing her arm, she probably would have already pulled Emma into her embrace.

Elysia observed their expressions closely, sneering in her heart. She thought, ‘You’re really Emma’s beloved mom.‘

“Emma!” Scott’s voice sounded displeased.

Emma had noticed them a long time ago. She had planned to go up and speak to them, but when she saw the coldness in Scott’s eyes, she hesitated.

She thought, ‘Things aren’t like they used to be, and Scott no longer considers me his daughter. If that’s the case, why should I go and make things uncomfortable for myself? What had I done to deserve such treatment?‘

When Scott saw Emma’s lack of response, his irritation grew. However, he still managed to hold onto a thread of reason. After all, they were in public, and there were so many people watching. No matter how frustrated he was, he wouldn’t vent it.

He frowned and softened his tone a little. “Emma, come here.”

Emma couldn’t understand Scott’s intentions. She thought, ‘Didn’t he decide to disown me? So why was he acting this way now?‘

Elysia watched them with a hint of amusement. She thought, ‘Emma is really stupid. Couldn’t she see that Scott was deliberately trying to distance her from Robert?‘

She kept wondering, ‘Scott’s idea is simple–he doesn’t want to get involved. Emma was really dense if she couldn’t figure that out. Look at her, even daring to go against Scott. Is she still dreaming of returning to the Rosewood family? What a naive girl!‘

However, Elysia could understand. After all, it was Emma who had caused Matthew’s death. She thought, ‘Did she think that shedding a few tears would make up for the wrongs she had done?‘

Elysia took a step closer to Emma, her eyes gleaming with mischief, but her tone was cold. “Wow, you’re crying so hard. Could it be that you feel guilty?”

Emma froze and thought, ‘What did Elysia mean? Did she know something?‘ Before she figured it out, Elysia continued, “What you do in the dark will eventually come to light. No matter how sad you pretend to be, it won’t erase the things you’ve done.”
