Chapter 27
Chapter 27 After Emma went abroad, she learned from Susanna that Crystal was not pregnant at all. The pregnancy reportwas something Crystal had forged in order to destroy her relationship with Trevor. Despite learning about the stunt Crystal had pulled on her, she had not despised Crystal. That was because her marriage with Trevor would never have worked out even without Crystal’s intervention. Trevor did not love her. That was the real reason why she gave up on the relationship completely. In any case, she had never told Trevor about what Crystal did to her. They had already goiten divorced after all. What was the point of worrying about something like that? Nevertheless, she couldn’t help thinking thatit was ironic. Trevor had always claimed that she was scheming against him all the time and that she had an insidious mind. But, how much better was he when he was always cmotionally unavailable? When Susanna saw how calm Emma was,she couldn’t help making a joke. “You might not be monopolizing Trevor anymore, but what happens if he keeps clinging on toyou instead?” Emma felt as though she had just heard the funniest joke in her life. She responded to Susanna in exasperation. “Superstar Susanna, have you gotten stupid from all the acting you’ve been doing at work? Why would he cling to me?” She could not imagine a scenario whereTrevor would cling to her. With how much he hated her in addition to his arrogant temperament, it was impossible for him to keep pestering her. It was enough as long as he did not destroy her career due to his hatred for her. For example, if he knew that she was the screenwriter of the drama he was investing in, would he ask Wesleyto get her replaced? Susanna laughed.
“Alright, alright. Maybe I’m overthinking things.” “Just finish your filming in peace. I will be careful.” Emma reassured Susanna. She knew Susanna was worried that she would be bullied again. However, she was no longer the same person she used to be. Regardless of whether it was Trevor’s mother, Alice, or Arianna, or Crystal, she had always silently endured their bullying in the past so as not to make thingsdifficult for Trevor. Alice and Arianna had always scorned her directly to her face through their words or their attitudes. On the other hand, Crystal had always acted from the shadows. Crystal had clearly known that Trevor was married to Emma. Even so, she had hyped up all the rumors about her ambiguous relationship with Trevor. It was obvious that she did not think much of Emma, who was Trevor’s wife at the time. Now that Emma no longer cared about Trevor’s feelings, it was only natural that she no longer heldback toward them. Just like how she had splashed coffee at Arianna today. At the same time that Crystal was investigating Emma, Trevor also asked for an investigation on Emma and received the resultsmuch faster. Sitting at his desk inside the Bateson Group’s president’s office, he frowned slightly at the sight of the screenwriter’s name on the document. Winter? Why does this name sound so familiar? He abruptly picked up another document nearby andflipped through the pages. This name was also printed on that document. In other words, the screenwriter of the historical drama that I invested in through Wesley… is Emma? He could barely believe it. He thought back to the words that Wesley had used when recommending the screenwriter called Winter to him some time ago.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Wesley had claimed that although she was a semi-newcomer, she was extremely talented and her writing style was very moving. Moreover, her style of narration and her ability to convey the story could easily arouse the empathy of the audience. In stark contrast to Wesley’s praises for Einma, Trevor’s impression of her during those three years was dull, boring, and nothing special. Therefore, he could not associate the quick-witted screenwriter called Winter that Wesley mentioned with Emma. In his shock, he took a serious look at Emma’s resume. It turned out that she had always been working part-time as a screenwriter for all these years. At the time, he used to mock her for being a good-for-nothing. Not only did he sneer at her for climbing into his bed and marrying into the Bateson Family just for the sake offood and shelter, but he also accused her of being vain and covering his wealth. Even when they divorced, he had laughed at her and told her that she was out of touch with society. He was certain that she would be penniless after their divorce. However, she now had a glamorous career. Not to mention that she was highly praised by Wesley…
