Chapter 12

Emily's POV
"Emily, are you free tonight? Kevin and I are going to the club, you can call Andre and we'll go together."
After dinner, Susan knocked on my room door. I didn't expect her to keep in touch with Kevin and to make plans to go to the club together!
"Kevin? Kevin Aaron, Andre's friend? You're still in touch and you're going to the club together?"
I always thought she and Kevin hadn't been in touch since that night, after all, Susan, like me, hates playboys who only know how to enjoy themselves.
I asked several questions in a row to make Susan laugh. "Yes, dear, that's him. I haven't had a chance to tell you that Kevin is now my boyfriend."
My mouth dropped open in surprise. I thought about what had happened to me and tried to persuade Susan to reconsider, but looking at Susan's happy face, I shut my mouth again.
"God, you really should have told me sooner, honey. I'll call Andre right now."
I didn't refuse, Kevin and Andre were friends, and even if I did Andre would surely still invite me to go with them.
"Good evening, girls."
Susan and I got the call and came downstairs to see Andre and Kevin leaning against their respective sports cars. The black sunglasses couldn't hide their elegant demeanor and handsome features. Everyone who passed by would look back at them.
Only four hours have passed since Andre and I parted from the hospital, and when I see him again I am always reminded of the awkward scene outside Hellen's hospital room this morning.
I was afraid to tell Hellen that I was Andre's secret lover because I was worried that she would be angry. I had to lie and say that Andre was my boyfriend and look at him with pleading eyes hoping that he would cooperate with me.
" Hello Ms. Jones, I'm Emily's boyfriend, my name is Andre Vincent."
Andre acquiesced and took the initiative to introduce himself to Hellen, who believed the lie and then asked Andre a lot of questions and I could tell she was very pleased with him.
I'm not a good drinker, so I don't really come to clubs and bars like this. This club was not like Kaka Bar, there were no scantily clad dancers dancing on the stage. Only one musician after another came on stage playing different dynamic music.
Most of the people in the club were sitting around on the sofas drinking together, and some were on the dance floor swaying their bodies to the music.
Susan went to dance on the dance floor, Andre and Kevin sat on the couch drinking and chatting, I was bored with the non-alcoholic drink Andre ordered for me and looked at the people in the hall, then I saw a familiar figure behind our seats.
Emma, why is she here?
The club lobby was a little dimly lit, and I didn't recognize it as Emma at first, until she looked up and met my eyes and I saw her clearly. She was sitting alone on the couch, looking sad, with empty bottles piled up at her feet and on the table, and no friends around.
Was it because Dylan broke up with her that she came to the club alone to drink?
I thought about what Dylan had repeatedly told me when he pestered me over the past two days, and then I looked at Emma's current appearance, and I couldn't help but gloat.
But why is she walking over?
"Hey, Emily, I'm so happy to see you. I came to apologize to you, it was my mistake at the reception the other day. I was so surprised that you showed up at that place. The reception was full of noble people, and I was worried that you would do something humiliating to cure Hellen so I had security kick you out. Don't be angry."
I couldn't guess what she was trying to do. She was the most humiliated person at the reception, but now she was gently apologizing to me.
"Mr. Vincent, let me drink with you. Do you remember me? I'm Emma, we met at the reception the other day. I am the only recognized daughter of Toby Brown's family, and my father, Toby Brown, also has a partnership with your company."
Emma went up and sat next to Andre and stroked his chest, and I instantly understood why she had just apologized to me. Because she had broken up with Dylan, she wanted to date Andre, who was even more handsome and wealthy than Dylan.
She thought I didn't dare to blame her, so she sat between Andre and Kevin with a smug look on her face. She seduced Andre in the same way she seduced Dylan before, showing her status while degrading me.
She used her beauty and family history to show that she is more noble than me and better than me. Although she has been abandoned by Dylan, this does not deny that her method is right, after all, Dylan did betray me because of her seduction.
I was just a bastard daughter, while Emma was a lady raised by an elite family, and most men would choose the latter. I don't think Andre would be an exception.
"Get away from me!"
I gave Andre a somewhat surprised look. I didn't expect him to be seduced by Emma but to push her away, and the loss in my heart was replaced by happiness.
At that moment Susan, who came out from the dance floor, happened to see the scene. She didn't know Emma, so she thought she was someone Andre knew, and asked in a whisper in my ear. "What's going on? Who's this?"
"Emma, my half-sister. She's the one who slept with Dylan. Now she's trying to seduce Andre again, but as you can see she's already been rejected by him."
I whispered in Susan's ear to explain what had just happened, and Susan's eyes widened as she listened, turning her head to look at Emma in my ear and saying, "Does she think everyone is like that asshole Dylan?"
Emma seemed to sense that we were talking about her and turned her head to glare at me resentfully, then stomped her foot defiantly trying to stick it to Andre again.
"Mr. Vincent, is there something I did wrong? Or are you still angry about what happened at the reception? It was really a misunderstanding that day, I didn't know... ah!"
The people drinking in the other seats heard the screams and all looked up this way, but the musicians continued to play the music as if they were used to it. The crowd writhing on the dance floor glanced this way and continued into the dynamic music.
I was watched by everyone, and all three of Andre's men looked at me in surprise.
"Damn! Emily how dare you do this to me, I'll kill you!"
Emma looked at me with resentment and anger in her eyes, she screamed and rushed up to attack me and was slapped by me again.
I've really put up with this long enough, and this time Emma should finally pay for what she did!
"Emma, I really feel sorry for you when you were abandoned by Dylan. Although you were the one who stole him from me, you really went too far this time!"
My brain was all consumed with anger, but I was sober enough to know what I was doing.
"If you really lack the love of a man, go out and turn left to the women's club. There are many men in there who can take care of your needs, and you can pick whatever you want. But Andre is my man, if you dare to seduce him again with your dirty tricks, I will not let you go!"
