Abbott stared at Emma in a surprised look, “Why did you…”
Emma laughed, “Abbott, you still plan to hide the truth that you sold your boss out?”
Boyce turned and looked at Abbott like he was questioning him what happened.
Emma ignored Abbott’s pale expression and asked Cormac, “Have you ever doubted anything Abbott told you? Tell you what. Abbott and I work together. You should see it by now. He was responsible for stalling for time, and I went to the hospital to see your wife…”
“What did you do?” Cormac seemed sulky.
“According to our plan, Abbott stall for time and I, course, am going to do things that are unfavourable to you. But I regretted it. There is never an end to taking revenge. So I decided not to take vengeance on you,” Emma glanced at Abbott. She smiled and turned around, then waved at Cormac, “Mr. Mendelsohn, how is it like to be betrayed by the people you trust?”
Cormac didn’t buy her story right away.
Abbott wasn’t in a hurry to explain himself, because he saw everything clearly now.
Abbott told Cormac Emma’s plan, and she knew it. So, she knew what could possibly happen today. Hence, she didn’t need to bring the woman she planned to frame Cormac here. Emma went along with Abbott’s plan and told Cormac that they were working together, then play them off against each other.
Abbott wondered. Did Emma hear him when he called Cormac?
“Abbott, this is the end of our partnership. Goodbye,” Emma smiled. She waved her hand at Abbott and left the room after that.
“Did you worked together with Emma?” Boyce questioned Abbott.
Abbott glanced at Boyce and told Cormac, “I didn’t.”
Cormac didn’t want to look into it, but he seemed cold, “You’re tricked by a woman. What an embarrassment.”
The truth was out. Emma knew Abbott told Cormac the plan. Cormac thought Abbott was confident in gaining Emma’s truth. That was why they had a set-up today.
Who knew Abbott was tricked?
He was a fool that got tricked by a woman, not only once but twice. Cormac almost wanted to question Abbott on his intelligence quotient.
“I’m sorry…”
Abbott didn’t know Emma didn’t trust him at all. It was his mistake.
“Wrap up everything here. I need to leave now,” Cormac was worried. He needed to visit Loredana in the hospital.
Cormac didn’t believe in what Emma said.
Boyce said, “Go. We’re on it.”
Boyce too understood what was going on.
Abbott thought he tricked Emma, but Emma didn’t trust him and used him to put up a show.
Boyce patted Abbott’s shoulder and consoled him.
Abbott was embarrassed. He was tricked twice by the same woman. It was humiliating.
Suddenly, Abbott’s phone rang in his pocket.
He took it out of his pocket and picked up the phone.
Emma’s voice rose from the other side of the phone, “Abbott…”
“Emma!” Abbott was furious. This woman was his undoing.
She caused him to make mistakes again and again.
Emma had this plan in her mind when she went to see Loredana. She initially thought she wronged her father and brother to leave the country just like that.
But after talking to Loredana, Emma felt less guilty. She no longer felt selfish to give up on vengeance.
Emma gave up on vengeance, but she wanted Abbott to pay for what he did.
Emma could never make Abbott fell in love with her, even with her body.
Abbott’s loyalty lied with Cormac.
Emma stood at the departure hall. She looked at the sky through the window in the hall. It was the last time she looked at this city, “Abbott, you lied to me. So, I have to send you a present as well. Do you like it?”
Abbott clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, “You’re proud of your schemes, huh?”
Emma laughed, but soon, she stopped, “Abbott, you lied to me, and I’ve used you. We’re even now. I will leave you alone from now on.”
Emma took a deep breath, “Before I leave, I need to tell you this. I’m pregnant.”
“Stop lying to me. Tell me, what do you want this time?”
Emma paused, then she laughed, “I only wanted to make you mad.”
“Emma!”
Abbott was enraged.
Emma laughed when she heard Abbot’s ferocious voice, “Goodbye, Abbott.”
She hung up the phone and turned it off. Then, she took her luggage and walked into the boarding gate without hesitation.
Goodbye, Abbott. Goodbye, everything.
It should end now. Emma should live her own life, just like what Abbott said.
So, she let go of everything, including Abbott.
Abbott immediately called Emma back, but all he heard was, “Sorry, the person you called is unavailable. Please, try again later. Sorry…”
Abbott hung up the phone and thought, “Emma turned off her phone?”
Abbott can’t help but felt the urge to go and see Emma now.
“You do the wrapping up. I need to leave now,” Then, Abbott ran out of the room.
Boyce was stunned. Fine, he had to do everything.
In the hospital.
Cormac saw a bouquet on the table when he arrived at the hospital. He frowned and asked, “Where did these come from?”¶¶¶¶¶¶
