Emina leaned back in her office chair, her eyes shimmering with confidence. She had unwavering, faith
in Desmond’s promises. His assurances, coupled with the steadfast support of her older brothers, left
her without a worry.
Jada burst into the office, barely containing her excitement, her eyes glinting with mischief. She waved
her phone in front of Emma, who looked back, puzzled,
“Come on, don’t play coy with me, Emma. Look at this! Desmond’s making his move. We all see how
he’s head over heels for you. You’ve been so hung up on Alex all these years, and look where that’s
led you. It’s time for a change, don’t you think?” Jada nudged Emma playfully, nodding towards
Desmond’s message on the screen.
Emma sighed, her gaze lingering on Jada’s bright eyes. “You’re reading too much into it, Jada. He’s
just a friend. And about Alex… well, that chapter’s closed.”
Jada frowned, “Closed? That’s an understatement! He treated you like dirt, and you’re just letting it
slide?”
Emma’s eyes darkened for a moment, her thoughts drifting back to Alex. “It’s not about letting it slide.
It’s about moving on. And Desmond? He’s a sweet guy, but there’s nothing there, Jada.”
“You went to his restaurant, didn’t you? I heard about the dinner. You never go out!‘
Emma chuckled, “I went because he said you’d all be there. I guess I should’ve known better.”
The conversation turned to Emma’s plan to finally reveal her true identity. After a night of strategizing
with her family, she decided it was time to step out of the shadows.
That evening, the paparazzi captured Emma in a sensational tableau, flanked by the influential
president of the Smirnoff Group and the charismatic Maxwell. The media buzzed with speculation.
Emma’s every move was followed, her every smile analyzed.
Emma’s plan was bold and deliberate. She wanted to draw out whoever was targeting her. The
Smirnoff family, though initially hesitant, supported her decision. Maxwell, in particular, grumbled about
the extravagance of the plan but stood by his sister.
The next morning, Emma’s name dominated the headlines. Theories about her connections with
several powerful men circulated wildly, igniting a frenzy of speculation and judgment. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
Unperturbed by the media storm, Emma enjoyed a quiet day at home, while Bruce handled the fallout
at the company. Meanwhile, Maxwell found himself inundated with calls, everyone eager to uncover the
nature of his relationship with Emma.
As the family navigated this new phase of public scrutiny, Emma remained a calm eye in the storm,
determined to confront her challenges head–on.
