âNo, I just want to change jobs. I donât want to work there anymore,â Janie explained.
âArenât you lying? Who else can become a Company Secretary at such a young age like you?â
Emmeline said.
Janie stayed silent. Of course, she did not want to resign, but she did not want to face Benjamin. She did not want him to use money or a loveless marriage to compensate her. It was better for them to not see each other.
âWait, Iâll ask Benjamin to apologize to you! He must have offended you!â Emmeline immediately took out her phone.
âNo, it really has nothing to do with him.â Janie stopped Emmeline as she shook her head with tears in her eyes.
âThatâs impossible. You wouldnât resign if everythingâs fine!â Emmeline said.
âEmma, I beg you, donât call Benjamin.â Janie was going to cry.
âOnce weâre done here, Iâll go to Adelmar to visit him personally! Letâs see if he still dares to bully you!â
âEmmeline, youâre here?â
As they were arguing, a beautiful figure walked over.
Emmeline and Janie looked over and saw that it was Evelyn. This woman actually came? Emmeline and Janie glanced at each other.
Of course, Evelyn said that the Ryker and Murphy families had always been friends, so it was normal for her to be there. However, Abel was taken aback. Whyâs this woman here? âNo, I just want to change jobs. I donât want to work there anymore,â Janie explained.
âMr. Abel.â Upon seeing Abel, Eveyln naturally walked over to his side and held his arm. âIâm friends with Emmeline. Who knew that we would meet here?â
Abel shook off her hand with a cold expression and did not believe what she said. âEmma and you are friends?â
âYep. We even chose her wedding dress together that day and chatted happily, right Emmeline?â
âMmhm, Ms. Evelyn said that the Murphy and Ryker families have always been friends.â
âOh Emmeline, I forgot to tell you. If it wasnât for your appearance, me and Mr. Abel would be together,â
Evelyn said with a smile.
Emmeline looked at Abel in surprise. What was she talking about?
âMr. Abel, am I right? We had a marriage agreement previously.â Eveyln looked at Abel.
Janie was also taken aback. How could Abel and Evelyn have a marriage agreement?
âEmma, donât misunderstand. Thatâs the marriage agreement discussed by our two families, but I rejected it, so thereâs no such thing anymore.â Abel quickly held Emmelineâs hands and explained.
âSo thatâs the case. I thought I became the mistress.â Emmeline let out a breath of relief.
âHow can that be? Youâve always been my only woman. My wife can only be you, not anyone else,â
Abel said with his arms around her shoulders.
âI know that Mr. Abel is loyal, and heâs known for it in Struyria. I heard you two are getting married, and Iâm also happy for you. Remember to invite me to your wedding!â Evelyn said with a smile.
âI will.â Emmeline nodded with a smile. She did not think that Evelyn was annoying.
âMr. Abel, will you invite me to your wedding?â Evelyn asked Abel with bright eyes.
Abel was a little uncomfortable due to Evelynâs sudden appearance at first. However, she did not say or do anything overboard. Instead, she even gave them her blessings, which improved Abelâs impression of her.
âDonât worry. The Murphy family will receive an invitation.â Abel nodded at her.
âThen Iâll thank you in advance, Mr. Abel.â
A male waiter brought two glasses of red wine, so Evelyn took one.
She raised her glass to Emmeline. âEmmeline, why donât we have a glass?â
