It was after she got pregnant that she started plotting against Rainie.
She was a grown woman now, who had never even had a boyfriend before. Therefore, she did not know that in vitro fertilization would cause her to suffer this much.
In the beginning, because her ovum did not match with Thomas' sperm, she had to be injected with an ovulation stimulating drug, which was awfully painful. Not only that but the discomfort and pain after that deepened her hatred.
Why did she have to go through all this pain, when the child would not refer to her as a mother?
Emory was aware of Thomas' assets, and she also knew that he was a genius in business. He has a successful company in his hands, but he chose to give it up and abandon it to go abroad alone. She felt that she would never find a man as rich and handsome as Thomas in the future.
Since there was a problem between Rainie and Thomas, why couldn't she seize this opportunity and interfere now?
At first, Emory was afraid and was even worried, but she did not expect Rainie to be so quiet. Rainie didn't even want to say anything to her and was silent even though Emory had bad intentions towards Rainie. When Thomas learned that she had done something to Rainie, he had chosen to let her off the hook too, which made her bolder.
However, she had never expected that Thomas would want to kill her now!
Rainie's assistant was recommended by Emory, so naturally, Emory knew Theresa's weaknesses. As long as she threatened and bribed Theresa, Theresa would naturally be on her side. But how did Thomas know about this?
Rainie must have said something.
That woman didn't seem to care, but it turned out that she was waiting for the right time to strike.
Emory's brain was whirring fast, and the suffocation on her neck was getting heavier. When she looked at Thomas again, she could see from his eyes that he was planning on killing her indeed.
For the first time, she felt fear.
The once handsome and rich man was now violent and terrible in front of her, which was extremely frightening.
Then, she started to sob uncontrollably.
"Mr. Song, please let me go! It doesn't matter if I die, but our child can't be hurt!"
Her words immediately caused a commotion outside.
"What? Emory and Mr. Song have a thing going on?"
"Shh, that's nonsense. Don't you know that Mr. Song and Mrs. Song are very close? In my opinion, Emory, that shameless woman, must have tricked her way to Mr. Song's bed."
There was a flurry of discussion outside.
Hearing this, Emory was furious, but she couldn't tell the truth.
When Thomas heard the word 'child', not only did his eyes not soften, but they became terribly sharp.
What was going on?
This child was Emory's shield, and she had dared treat Rainie like that just because Thomas cared about the child in her belly. Why was it not working now?
Suddenly, Thomas burst into laughter, but it was chilling and discomforting.
"Did you really think that I would let you hurt Rainie because of the baby? She's my wife! I can't even bear to hurt her even the slightest myself, but you had hurt her again and again. If it weren't for the child, do you think that I would have spared you when you first hurt her after I knew? You should be glad that she's fine, but you probably don't know that the staff member you arranged to sabotage Rainie's wire, was taken away by me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Emory's eyes instantly widened.
How could it be?
She had done it secretly and arranged it when Thomas was on a business trip. Although Thomas came back unexpectedly, he had rushed into the conference room immediately, so he should hardly have a chance to know about it.
