Chapter 273 Shaking Hands with Creditors
Emily's poor face convinced everyone that his male colleague deliberately hurt her and should force him even harder with pliers.
"You're guilty of criminal law and you still want to drag our colleagues? You're too abhorrent, I can't believe used to work with you."
"Men, why did you do that? You are terrible."
"You stole the company's money; you wait for the police to investigate."
"Oh, my God, you're so scary."
Everyone said a word around to guard Emily, abusing him and showing no mercy.
Watching people's reactions, he cursed loudly. "Miss Emily, if you mess with me, you're dead!"
In the increasingly fierce slander, he was kicked out of the company. At that moment, Elly slowly approached and she saw Emily crying, she said gently. "All right, it's going to be all right. We still have a lot of things to overcome and work together."
As she saw that Elly had no doubt, Emily nodded and went back to work.
In fact, Emily knew in her heart that Elly did not fully trust her. Anyway, she's safe and sound, that idiot pissed her off, and ordinary people will get suspicious. Maybe Elly's company would find the idiot behind her, so she has to play dumb, grit her teeth, and know nothing about it.
In the office, Leon, an assistant, said angrily. "Miss Elly, it's all over. Why don't you expose her?"
Elly sighed and shook her head. "If she denies it and he insists that he did it himself, it can't happen right away. There must be an agreement between the two. Let's not worry."
"So, we will let her escape this time?" The assistant was not reconciled to it and said with clenched teeth. "Well, she took money from the company, and I just want to kick her out."
What Elly wants was not that simple.
She said thoughtfully as she tapped her fingers. "Don't worry, I won't let her get away with it, if she wants to play, I can play with her. I want to see what chess pieces Emily has."
Emily did not expect that Elly would check all the projects and work from the day she asked her to manage. Her every move began to be at her wit's end, unable to withdraw more money from the company.
Emily was in charge of the project of replacing raw materials, and she must supervise the whole repair process. Every day, she follows the decorators from morning today. Returning to Alex's home with a tired body, Emily received a call from a strange number at the entrance. She hurried back to her room without noticing her aunt above.
Slamming the door, she was out of breath, her heart racing, frightened, and her fingers pressed on the machine connection. "Hello."
"Miss Emily, we got the money, but when are you going to give us the rest of the money?"
The pressure from the other party overwhelmed her and gave her a headache. Emily took a breath and refrained from shouting. She is now a debtor, her weakness was in their hands, and she has no choice but to be humble. "You have to give me time to scrape together the money. If you push too hard, neither side will make a profit. It's not that I won't pay you, but it's not enough to spin."
Emily could not give an exact time limit for repayment and could only beg for mercy.
"All right, we'll give you more time." Surprisingly, instead of imposing threats, she was given a plan. "Miss Emily, for the sake of the discussed money, let me teach you how to get the money fastest and easiest."
"What?" Emily wondered and asked again in a voice of mistrust.
"Only you can do this, and no one will doubt it." The other line answered
"Stop talking! Go ahead."
"You should do this."
The other line discussed more of their plan. The idea was so risky and bold that Emily could not speak with her mouth open. Although she has done a lot of bad things before, she has been acting more cleverly. She has forgotten the inherent toxicity, and now enlightened by the other party, she suddenly realizes that it was foolish not to consider this effective method.
The other party put forward the terms of cooperation. "Miss Emily, if you cooperate with us, your debt will be emptied and the rest will be shared equally. You have money and you pull out the thorns on your eyes at the same time."
Emily said it was wrong not to be convinced, but she was still a little worried. She hesitated. "You give me two more days, let me decide. And let me take the initiative to contact you."
The other party laughed crazily, which was creepy. "No problem. The sooner you decide, the better. Our patience is limited, and our money will not stand idly by for a long time."
"I understand." Emily agreed that the other party was referring to the interest of having children, so she shut up and turned off her cell phone.
Alex came back from a business trip and realized that Elly was in a steep mood. After many times of persuasion, he also understood the reason.
"I left you a note in your room. Don't you see?"
"When did you leave it?"
"I went home to get my things and put them in the nightstand. I'm at work. Didn't it fall under the bed?"
The private room of her and Alex was always cleaned by the cleaner. If anything falls on the floor, especially the note, the servant will inform her immediately. A guess came to Elly's mind, and she quickly took it away.
Alex's calm face and his long-standing dignity were enough to convince her that Elly was no longer confused by the matter.
As the wedding day approaches, Elly and Alexis have been preparing for the wedding. This wedding was different from the previous two. Elly wants to see a doctor in the hospital before getting married. Alex said she didn't need it, but she couldn't change her decision.
After examining all the categories, Elly's face did not allay her worries. Alex couldn't help draping her shoulder and asked with a smile. "You don't look good. Are you hiding something?"
"I'm just too busy" Elly bit her lip and hesitated to speak her heart in a cautious voice. "What if. What if I can't have any more kids?" She stuttered.
Miscarriage has a great impact on Elly's health, and doctors even predict that the probability of pregnancy was very low. Alex was afraid to tell her about it. But Elly uses her female instincts to perceive the body and speculate on possible adverse possibilities. So, this has become a knot for her all the time.
Alex didn't expect her to worry about her health. If Elly didn't say it today, he would have forgotten all about it. But he doesn't care.
"Neither we cannot have children, nor will it affect the happiness of our families. Don't we have Kitten, he's a smart kid?"
Alex kept comforting her and turned the conversation in the other direction. "If I have another boy, I will have two more competitors to compete for you. Fighting a biological child is to win a wife, you know, it's very difficult, you know?"
Elly smiled shyly at his joke, which greatly relieved the inner pressure. She reached out to hold his hand, but suddenly the phone rang.
He answered the phone in front of her. It was Secretary Gerald.
"Gerald, are you done with the inspection?"
"Copy that. What's up?" Alex answered carelessly, holding several plum hairs behind her ears to help Elly.
Then suddenly, Gerald changed the meeting time. "Could you make an appointment for discussion in 30 minutes? Please answer."
"30 minutes? What's with the rush?" Alex frowned and looked at Elly unconsciously.
Elly was a smart woman, she only heard his words, and observed the small change in the expression on his face, and guessed the content of the call. She said happily. "If you have something urgent at the company. You go ahead. I can do it myself."
Alex liked this non-nagging character so much that he bowed his head and kissed her on the forehead and cautiously told her despite the curious eyes around him. "Be careful when you get home. Call me if you need anything."
She blushed and pushed her fiancé, but she liked to be hugged by him affectionately. Although Elly was confident that she could walk, she staggered up and down the white corridor and suddenly couldn't remember which way to go to the elevator.
Just as she turned around like a fly without a head, a familiar voice sounded from behind.
"Do you need any help?"
