Chapter 397 The Ward Family Shares

Since Emily had already said so, Abigail couldn't argue with her.

She just nodded and said, "Alright, you take the call. I'll get back to work."

Emily smiled and nodded back at Abigail.

As Abigail left, the smile on Emily's face faded. Lately, everything felt forced-her smiles, her meals, even just living.

Seeing the name "Leo" on the caller ID, Emily sighed deeply and answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Emily, it's me. Your grandfather..." Leo hesitated for a moment, then continued with a trembling voice, "Emily, I need you to come to the Ward Mansion. There are some things I need to say to you in person."

Emily couldn't understand what there was left to discuss with the Ward family. A grandfather she barely knew, an uncle who was a murderer, and two cousins with whom she shared no emotional bond-just thinking about it made her feel suffocated.

"Mr. Ward," Emily's distant tone made Leo feel a pang of sadness.

But he knew the Ward family had wronged her and her mother, so he had to accept whatever she called him.

"I don't think there's anything left for us to talk about. I'm only taking this call out of respect for my mother's wish. I can tell you where her grave is so you can pay your respects, but you should know who is welcome and who isn't. Also, the JM Jewelry store's prized possession and the two 'Ice and Fire' necklaces you bought I've entrusted them to a reliable colleague. He'll handle the handover, so I don't need to be involved."
