Chapter 163 Pollard's Heart Stung
"Aunt-in-law, what did you just say?" Pollard couldn't believe his eyes as he looked at Scarlett.
Before he could react, Emily's voice came from outside the door.
"Pollard, are you there?"
Pollard, startled, stood up as if electrified, too guilty to meet Queenie's gaze.
"I... I..."
Pollard looked extremely uncomfortable.
The living room door was blocked by a servant, but Emily continued to call out loudly.
"Pollard, are you there? It's Emily."
David frowned deeply and looked at Pollard with an expression of power, rather than anger. "How can another woman come looking for you? The Clancy family has strict principles. Don't you have self-discipline?"
"She... she's a coworker," Pollard lowered his head.
"Even coworkers should maintain distance!" David raised his voice, resembling a strict coach.
"Yes, I will handle it immediately."
Just as Pollard was about to leave, he glanced guiltily at Queenie and then slinked out of the living room.
Seeing Pollard, Emily's face lit up with joy. "Pollard!"
Pollard grabbed her arm and led her outside the Clancy Villa. "Why did you come?"
A hint of disappointment crossed Emily's heart.
She hadn't expected that she still wouldn't be able to enter Clancy Villa, the Clancy family's residence, this time.
Even after working with Pollard for so long, he had never invited her in.
Once, she had taken the initiative to suggest it, but Pollard politely declined, citing the strict principles of the family, saying that only the Clancy family and people approved by the Clancy family could enter.
Each time, Emily couldn't help but feel jealous when she saw Queenie freely entering the Clancy family's residence and living there.
She also wanted to enter this century-old Clancy Villa and take a few selfies.
After all, it would be something she could boast about on Twitter Moments.
And in Coast City, having those photos could provide various advantages.
The Clancy family seemed to understand this well, so they strictly controlled the quality of visitors.
Now, Pollard led her to an open space and scolded her angrily, "What are you doing here? I have a girlfriend, and your actions make it difficult for me."
Hearing this, Emily felt a pang in her chest, and her eyes welled up with tears.
She lowered her head, twisting her clothes. "Pollard... I... I heard that you suddenly came back, and I wanted to see if something happened at home. Why did you leave in such a hurry?"
As she spoke, Emily's face turned paler, revealing a pitiful and aggrieved expression.
"I...I'm just worried about you," Emily said.
Seeing Emily like this, Pollard couldn't bear to scold her: "There's nothing wrong with my family. It's just that my father's birthday is coming up, so I came back to celebrate. I also want to repair my relationship with Queenie."
Emily forced a smile and said, "...Repairing the relationship with Queenie... If necessary, just let me know. I can explain to Queenie for you. If she needs it, I can even kneel down for her."
"Emily, you don't have to do this! There's no need for you to be so submissive!" Pollard's brows furrowed tightly.
Emily smiled sadly and said, "As long as you're well, I don't care about anything else... Pollard, I just hope you can be happy."
Pollard felt a sudden pang in his heart, but he quickly turned his face away.
He opened his mouth to say something, but before he could, a sweet voice came from afar.
"Brother Pollard..."
Before the last sound faded, Monica, who was brought by Lilith, rushed over and took the initiative to hold Pollard's hand.
Emily's expression changed instantly!
At this moment, David, who had finished dinner, put down his chopsticks and looked at Benoit and Queenie, speaking with the authority of an elder.
"Both of you, come into the room with me!"
