Chapter 144 Emily's Heartache
Mary's mouth curved up. "Don't worry, nothing will go wrong! I've already arranged the media for you. Once the reporters capture Barbara and Mr. Brown leaving the hotel tomorrow, there will be relevant reports. It will appear as a suspected impending union between the Brown and Clancy families, with Mr. Brown having a sweet secret rendezvous with Miss Clancy..."
Mary smiled and said, "Once this news is released, the stock prices of both companies will definitely experience a new peak. Tomorrow morning, buy some stocks at a lower price, and in a few days, you can recover the 10 million you lost before."
Lilith, increasingly convinced, nodded and said, "Okay, we'll do it as you say."
Of course, Lilith didn't completely trust Mary! She planned to buy more insurance!
Using Mary's name tomorrow night, she would arrange for Simms to meet a woman. And she would also film a video for her daughter, in order to make her give up completely.
In any case, she would not allow her daughter to join Benoit's camp!
Unaware of Lilith's thoughts, Mary stood up and said, "Alright, let's divide our tasks. Remember to find a way to keep your son, Pollard, occupied. Our actions will be inconvenient if he's around tomorrow night."
"Okay," Lilith agreed, and made a call to the archaeological team.
Not long after, Pollard, who had just arrived at Emily's countryside home, received a call from Ms. Wilson.
"Pollard, we have made a new discovery here! There may be oracle bone inscriptions on a fragment. Since you're good at this, come and take a look, help me."
When Pollard heard the words "oracle bone inscriptions," he became as excited as Brandon hearing "X-ring antibody." He immediately agreed, "Alright, Ms. Wilson, wait for me. I'll buy a plane ticket and go back right now."
After hanging up the call, Pollard just happened to see Emily and her brother coming out. They were initially surprised, but soon felt secretly delighted.
"Pollard, what brings you here?" Emily pretended to look weak and uncomfortable.
Upon seeing Emily, Pollard's excitement diminished a bit. He said impatiently, "The team wants us to go back as soon as possible. I'm here to pick you up. Go get your luggage now."
After speaking, Pollard turned back to his car, leaving Emily standing alone in the wind.
Go back to the excavation team? Even if he came to pick her up, shouldn't he help her with her luggage?
Can't he see that she's feeling unwell? Although she was partially faking it, she really wasn't feeling comfortable!
After all, the artificial insemination surgery she had last night was like being split open!
Emily had no choice but to say to her brother, "You go help me bring the luggage."
She relied on her sister for everything at home, and her brother naturally obeyed. After he put the luggage in the trunk, Emily was about to open the passenger door.
Pollard held onto the door handle and tilted his chin, saying, "Sit in the back."
Emily felt a sharp pain in her heart.
From before until now, she often traveled with Pollard. But whenever it was Pollard's own car, he wouldn't let her sit in the front seat.
The driver's seat was said to be Queenie's exclusive spot.
Emily unwillingly twisted the door handle of the passenger seat and spoke in a coquettish tone, "Pollard, I feel a little carsick today, and I don't want to sit in the back. Can I sit in the front?"
Her watery eyes looked pitiful and vulnerable. She appeared genuinely hurt.
After all, last night she undressed Pollard, kissed him all over, and even used her hand to help him...
In her understanding, this counted as intimate contact between the two.
How could Pollard refuse her today?
However, in the next moment, Pollard's face remained expressionless as he rejected, "No. Go sit in the back. I promised Queenie this position and I won't let any other woman sit here."
"Can't I sit here either?" Emily said, consumed by jealousy, her face seemingly on the verge of tears.
"Absolutely not!" Pollard replied firmly.
Emily could only grit her teeth and return to the back seat.
After driving for a while, Pollard parked the car on the side of the road.
Emily was puzzled, and then she heard Pollard speak.
"I have a friend who got drunk last night and had relations with a woman who isn't his girlfriend..."
