After this childish action, Atwood was surprised.
God, what was he doing? He was no more a wayward child.
He was actually so childish in discussing with this stupid girl about whether he looked old or not. And
he even raised his chin just now. What a childish action!
He was mad! How could he behave like that?
Atwood realized although this Elaine was not clever, she had a kind of magic that can let him relax, put
down all the worries in his mind and become a normal human being.
Atwood pondered for a few seconds before he made up his mind and said, "If Emmett doesn't like you
heart and soul, what will you do?"
"What!"
Elaine put down her teacup and looked at Atwood in disbelief.
"I said, if Emmett wasn't as sincere to you as you imagined, what would you do? Would you leave
him?"
"But ... but ... he said he wholeheartedly loved me. He treats me well. I don't think he's acting."
Atwood looked out of the window and took a deep breath. He said with concern,
"Emmett's mother is beautiful. She was chosen as Miss World in the contest back then. At that time, I
fell in love with her at a glance. I remembered when she stood on the stage and smiled gently, I felt that
she was the most beautiful woman in the world."
...
Elaine's eyes widened.
Jesus, was Atwood crazy? Why was he telling her about their romance?
Helplessly, she could only be a listener.
"Later, I married Emmett's mother. Few years later, she gave birth to Emmett. Emmett looks like his
mother. His expression and eyes are similar to hers."
As Elaine listened, she agreed in the bottom of her heart. She had seen the photos of Emmett's
mother, who was indeed extraordinarily beautiful.
Actually, Elaine wanted to interrupt Atwood and tell him, "Excuse me, Sir, could you please stop talking
about your past romance? What does this have to do with me?"
However, since Atwood and his wife were her future father-in-law and mother-in-law, she had to bear
with it!
"When Emmett was eleven years old, fifteen years ago, his mother died in a car accident."
"Oh ... what a pity." Elaine lowered her head in a decent manner.
Atwood took a deep breath, as if he was completely immersed in the memories of the past. After few
minutes, he finally regained his consciousness and asked Elaine in an ice-cold tone, "Do you know
how his mother died?"
Elaine was shocked and blinked her eyes quickly, her face blank, "But didn't you say that she died in a
car accident?"
Atwood grinned hideously and said word by word, "It was the bus that hit her!"
When Elaine heard the word "Bus", somehow her heart twitched fiercely!
Her face suddenly turned pale, but the words escaped her. Speechless, she looked at Atwood with her
eyes wide open.
Atwood sneered, continuing, "At that time, she was six months gone. The bus crashed into her, killing
her and the unborn baby! Later, it was verified that the brakes of the bus didn't work, so the driver could
not be held accountable!"
Elaine didn't know what to say. She was cold throughout her entire body as she listened reluctantly.
It was as if the tragic scene had appeared in her mind.
A beautiful young woman, with a baby in her belly, was walking down the street. However, suddenly,
misfortune reversed her happy life. An unstoppable bus crashed straight at her, pressing her down
under the wheels. Fresh blood ... dyed the ground red....
...
Atwood was panting heavily, and so was Elaine. Elaine felt as if someone had grabbed her throat. She
felt sufferings from breathing, her body cold.
The fear that she failed to wipe off spread throughout her body.
Atwood began to talk after a while, "And that bus driver ... surnamed Jones...."
Elaine screamed, her body trembling wildly.
Atwood had never intended to let Elaine off. He approached her step by step, "As for that driver, I just
checked that he was your father."
"No, impossible! It's impossible ... No, impossible...."
"Elaine, think about it, who are you, and how you look like. Why did Emmett fall for an ordinary woman
like you? He would never take a fancy to you! Why would he get close to you and date you? Because
he hates you! He hates your father, who has killed his mother! You must know, at that time, his mother
was pregnant with a baby girl ... Your father killed two people in one breath! He killed Emmett's mother
and sister. Emmett hates you very much! He hates you all! Just think about it! Why does Emmett make
contact with you! "
"No! It's not true! My father didn't kill anyone! No! My father's bus didn't crash anyone. He didn't...."
Elaine covered her ears and shouted crazily, tears gushing out of her eyes.
"You lied to me ... my father wouldn't do that...."
Atwood smiled wryly. "I don't blame your father. It was not his fault. It's the brakes that didn't work. He
didn't mean to kill them ... But kid, think about it. From Emmett's point of view, would he forgive your
father? Your father actions were unintentional, but Emmett lost his most loving mother and unborn
sister. Would he forgive your father? With Emmett's character, would he let your family go? Elaine,
wake up. I've told you all these things. Don't you understand? It was a trap when Emmett made contact
with you from the beginning. He wanted you to fall in love with him, and he would abandon you
ruthlessly. Then you would also feel heartbreaking pain, but he got the pleasure of revenge. Elaine,
leave Emmett. In his eyes, you are the daughter of the enemy who killed his mother. He would never
be happy with you. You two simply can't have blessings and happiness! "
...
"No ... it's not true ... you're lying...."
Atwood took out a yellowed newspaper from his bag and threw it on the table. "Read it yourself. This is
the report from that time."
Elaine's face was stained with tears and her hands trembled fiercely. She took the newspaper from the
table and read it in panic.
She saw it ... She saw the photos of the accident scene ... She saw the report....
Of course, she saw her father's name!
Elaine's heart suddenly shattered. The newspaper slid down from her hand. She was leaning against
the wall weakly.
So was it true?
Her father drove the bus that hit Emmett's mother?
Did Emmett come to her for revenge?
From the very beginning?
In her mind, as if a movie was replaying, she recalled past scenes of moments that she and Emmett
spent together.
The first time she had come to Tianyi Group, she turned around and saw the handsome Emmett.
She secretly called Mr. Smith Old Man Emmett....
Emmett smiled evilly as he approached her step by step, bringing her endless romance....
She spent her virgin night with him.... It was a painful but unforgettable night.... It was the first time she
had a marvelous night on bed with him....
His kisses, his laughter, his teasing, his anger ... Everything rushed towards her like a tide.
Wailing, Elaine covered her head and curled up in a corner, her body trembling.
"Why ... Why is it happening ... Why...."
She cried to herself, "God, why are you torturing me?
"If only I didn't love him!
"If I didn't love him, there would be no regrets and no pain! We could just say goodbye!"
Atwood was right, he and she would never be happy with such a fate!
"Emmett, did you think of your mother bleeding when you looked at me?!
"When you kissed me, you gritted your teeth and hated me more, didn't you?"
How terrifying and pitiless!
It turned out that no matter how warm and touching a solemn pledge of love was, it could be fake!
It could be a lie!
Elaine just wailed.
Just like that, Elaine hid in a corner and cried helplessly...
Atwood sat in silence opposite her, staring blankly outside.
...
It was as if everything from the past was surging back.
That was a memory that only belonged to him....
Elaine didn't know how she managed to get back to the dormitory. It seemed that Atwood had driven
her back, but it might also be her imagination.
She was too distracted to notice anything.
After entering the dormitory, Elaine was still in a trance. She somehow let go of her hand. With a loud
bang, the bag landed on the floor, which startled Hazel, who was drinking alone with the wine bottle in
her hand.
"Elaine? What's up?"
Hazel was a little drunk. She wanted to stand up from the floor, but in vain.
She looked at Elaine at the door in shock.
"Elaine, what's wrong? You looked terrible. What's wrong? Your face is so ... pale? Have you ever
cried? Your eyes are swollen...."
Elaine's eyes glazed and she did not answer Hazel. It seemed that her muscles and bones had been
pulled out of her body. She was weak and was slightly swaying back and forth.
"Elaine, hello?"
Elaine finally slowly raised her eyelids and looked at Hazel blankly. Then, she opened her mouth slowly
and turned to Hazel with a terrible smile.
"It's getting dark" Elaine said inexplicably. Before Hazel could understand, she saw Elaine falling to the
floor.
Bang! Elaine fainted like a lifeless sandbag falling to the ground.
"Elaine! Elaine, what's wrong with you?"
