Emma was very satisfied with Mary’s attitude. She raised her chin slightly and walked in with a smug look on her face. Mary watched her back and snorted coldly, thinking, ‘Just wait. She’ll be crying soon.

On the way, the servants looked at Emma with strange expressions, and some even began to whisper, “I wonder how she dares to come back? Mr. Rosewood is angry. Coming back at this time is a bad idea.”

A maid who heard this quickly made a gesture to silence her. She glanced in the direction Emma had left and lowered her voice, “Be careful not to bring trouble to yourself.”

Hearing this, the maid quickly covered her mouth, looking very frightened. Everyone in the Rosewood family knew what had happened that night. It wasn’t that Scott didn’t want to keep it a secret, but the commotion was just too big to hide.

Because of this, Scott had ordered everyone in the family not to talk about it. Anyone who did would be expelled from the Rosewood family.

When Emma arrived in the living room, she finally sensed that something was wrong. She had felt the strange looks from the servants on the way and thought it was because she was going to return to the Rosewood family.

But now it seemed that wasn’t the case. She felt something off. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Scott’s voice sounded behind her. “What are you doing here?”

Sensing the anger in his tone, Emma knew she couldn’t escape. She turned around and forced a smile, “Dad, I heard about what happened at home and came back to see you and Mom.”

Emma’s smile annoyed Scott. He thought, ‘Emma is the evidence of my humiliation. I have raised her with Bella for so many years. Now, she has the nerve to smile at me. Is she mocking me for not knowing that I was being cheated?‘

Thinking of this, his face darkened even more, and all the anger that had been building up in his heart for days surged up. He quickened his steps, his body radiating resentment.
