Chapter 145 Pollard's Rationality Puts Queenie in a Difficult Position
Emily's face lit up. Was Pollard planning to come clean with her?
She shyly lowered her head and quietly listened to Pollard's story.
"My friend is troubled. He came to ask me what to do," Pollard paused, then glanced towards the backseat. "If you were that woman, what would you do?"
Emily knew Pollard was testing her.
Her lips twitched as she pretended to have a righteous appearance. "If I were that woman, and I knew I didn't have a place in his heart, I would treat it as an accident between adults and quietly leave, pretending nothing happened."
At the emotional part, Emily sniffled softly. "I would also tell that man not to come looking for me anymore. I won't disturb his happiness with his girlfriend."
"Hmm," Pollard agreed with a nod. "Your thoughts align with mine."
Emily was astonished. Wasn't Pollard supposed to think she was tactful and then feel sorry for her?
Lost in her shock, Emily heard Pollard's calm voice without fully processing it.
"I also told my male friend that if he truly loves his fiancée and will only marry her, then he should forget about this accident and take the necessary precautions."
Saying that, Pollard took out a box of contraceptives and placed it on the armrest between the front seats.
Emily's face turned pale as she saw the contraceptives, and with disbelief, she looked at the back of Pollard's head.
"Pollard, you..."
Pollard didn't turn around and calmly said, "Isn't your opinion the same as my friend's?"
Emily choked up, unable to utter a word, feeling as if her heart was stabbed by a sharp knife.
It hurt with several slashes.
She picked up the contraceptive pill in pain, hands trembling continuously.
"Pollard, your friend... really felt nothing?"
"No, my friend couldn't understand. Clearly he was at that girl's place. The girl could have called for help, could have asked her brother to come and help, so why did she still defile him!" Pollard said with anger in his heart.
Upon hearing this, Emily felt a stabbing pain in her heart, almost causing it to stop. Did he mean she defiled him?
Emily was so angry that her tears fell in a steady rhythm.
They didn't speak again on the way to the airport.
After boarding the plane, Pollard also bought separate seats.
Emily squeezed the contraceptive pill box in her hand, her gaze growing more cold and fierce.
There was no way she would take the contraceptive pill!

On the other side, in the Bund Bay apartment.
After obtaining Kate's recording, Queenie was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a while.
After a long while, she looked at Benoit and said, "Is Lilith going insane?"
Benoit squinted his cold gaze and almost squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "She probably wants to be kicked out by the Clancy family!"
"Husband, it's too dangerous. How about I ask Barbara not to accompany me tomorrow night?" After saying this, Queenie hesitated and furrowed her brows, "Or do you think we should tell Barbara about this?"
When Benoit looked at his wife, his expression softened slightly, "You already have the answer in your heart, don't you? Even if we manage to keep Barbara away this time, what about next time? As long as Lilith wants to matchmake her with Mr. Brown, she'll resort to these despicable tricks! The best way to protect her is not to shield her from the world's ways, but to help her grow up as soon as possible."
As his voice fell, Barbara returned from outside.
She looked at Queenie with joy, "My mom wants to apologize to you in person! My brother had an urgent matter with the archaeological team and went back. He can't make it tomorrow night, fearing it would be awkward for you two, so my mom asked me to go with her."
Saying that, Barbara took Queenie's hand and expressed her emotions.
"Both of you mean a lot to me. I hope that after tomorrow night, both of you can be fine and not put me in a difficult position. Queenie, after my mom apologizes tomorrow night, will you forgive her? Can you let this matter go, please?"
Queenie withdrew her hand and looked at Barbara with difficulty.
"This matter cannot be let go."
After speaking, Queenie played the recorded audio that Kate had eavesdropped on.
