September was stunned and said with a pale face, "That b*tch Rose actually encouraged my parents to divorce each other, but my father... Ever since I took the shares of the Jenkins family, he was estranged from me. He actually thought I wanted to bring him down and he literally started considering divorcing my mom! Ridiculous! Rose wanted to mess up my family and only then would she be satisfied!"
"So you went to her all by yourself?" I blamed her and said, "Why didn't you take Bob with you?"
"At that time, my mind was blank. I only wanted to go to that b*tch and slap the s*it out of her!" September threw the apple core into the trash can and fiercely said, "I didn't expect that she would dare to find someone to beat me! When Zack returns to the police station, we'll work together to deal with her!"
"How?" I asked.
"Rose has done a lot of things behind in the dark. We'll just find an excuse to lock her up in the police station first!" September said indifferently, "I'm gonna make her beg us to kill her!"
Amused, I asked, "Do you really think the police are gonna let you do what you wanna do?"
September shrugged and said with a smile, "That's why I'm waiting for Zack to come back!"
"That still doesn't make you able to do anything you wanna do!" I reached out and tidied up the quilt for her. Then I got up and said, "I'll go and check on Ellis."
September waved her hand and said, "Okay, go ahead."
I walked out of the ward and was stunned. Then I turned to close the door and asked softly, "When did you come? Did you hear what she said?"
"Yes." I walked to his side and he reached out to hold my hand and said helplessly, "Em, I will divorce her."
Joel finally gathered the courage to divorce. Between September and Rose, he chose September, even though it was already too late!
I reminded him, "Rose won't agree. She's put in too much effort to just give up your marriage simple because you said so."
"If I want to divorce, no one can stop me." At this time, the tone of Joel was full of the decisiveness like Zack described!
He suddenly said sadly, "I just don't know how to make her forgive me. September, she... Em, please help me."
"I can't interfere in your affairs. You are gonna put me into a dilemma by doing this. Also, I don't think September would..." I paused and changed my words. "She's probably gonna just give you the child."
"What? How come?"Joel was stunned and said, "She didn't even wanna keep the child and how could she give the child to me?"
I fell silent. I didn't know what to say. Joel clenched my hand and asked nervously, "Em, what should I do?"
It didn't sound like the words coming out of such a cold man. I thought for a while and said, "September intends to take revenge on Rose, so... what you can do is to stay out of it! She has already thought that you've been partial to Rose, you can't make it worse."
"I know these." Joel tilted his head and looked at the ward. He looked sad but dared not go in.
When we arrived at the elevator, Joel said suddenly, "You are I are the only children of the Shears family. Grandpa wants you to quit your job at the police station and come back to work for the Group."
"I don't even know the business of the company. I'm only suitable for the police station." I smiled and said, "I know that you can handle the business well enough on your own."
"You have had five years' experience in the company. I believe that you can do an equally good job if you come back now." Joel paused and said in a low voice, "We've got ourselves in too many industries now and I have not been able to handle all of them by myself. Plus, Grandpa wants you back for your own sake."
I used to work in the same company as Charlotte, and I also climbed up step by step with my own ability, but in the end, I lost everything I ever gained!
When I left the company, my colleagues were still talking about me behind my back, making fun of me as if I were a desert being served after lunch.
Thinking of the past, all the bitter memories came flushing back into my mind.
I looked at Joel with a little shock in my heart. Zack said that he was a business genius. Would a business genius also have a hard time in his career? Was Joel tired, or was he just mentally tired?
Zack once said that the Shears family was involved in a much bigger game than the Dunn family, Heaney family, and the Solange family were involved. And now I realized that the game was in the hands of Joel alone.
Joel had indeed been exhausted in the past two years!
When he saw that I was silent, he leaned to one side and held me in his arms. He said in a warm voice, "Em, I know everything you have experienced. So does grandpa and that's why he's been scheming for you!"
Scheming? On what? The three other families?
"Scheming on what?" I asked nervously.
Joel said in a mysterious tone, "You will know when you come back to us."
I vaguely guessed something, but I was a little confused about what exactly it was. What did Joel and the others want to do?
I was about to ask more, but the elevator door opened at this moment. A cold voice said, "What? Got another little lover?"
Benjamin's face was cold, and at the bottom of his eyes was surging anger and uncontrollable coldness.
Joel released me and said in a low voice, "Take good care of her, Em."
After he left, Benjamin asked me coldly, "Why is September's man so close to you?"
"I knew him when I was sixteen when September was pursuing him... Now that we have been good friends for nine years, I couldn't just severe our contact because of what happened between him and September."
I lowered my head and thought for a moment. Then I said, "It's wrong for me to help anyone. September has already given up on him, but he can't bear to let go."
Benjamin asked coldly, "Why was he holding you?"
