“Imbecile! Is this the way you speak to me?”
Emma bit virtual-novel.net lips, both furious and fearful.
Thomas walked over and talked to him. “Dad, if you really want to get promoted, I could help you think of an idea. Buttering up to that director is not the only way.”
“You?” Johnson scolded. “What do you thinkyou are? So what if you talk back? Also, don’t call me ‘Dad’. If you are a man, then you’ll fulfill the contract and immediately divorce my daughter. In the future, you’ll stay as far as you can. Don’t show up in front of me!”
The situation was extremely awkward.
Until Emma said coolly, “I will not divorce Thomas.”
“You dare?!”
“Why won’t I dare? Today the Hills snagged a $3 billion investment. The Kennedys have also come up to apologize. Thomas had done all that virtual-novel.net promised. He won’t leave the Hills, and virtual-novel.net definitely won’t divorce me!”
“What?”
Johnson thought his ears were playing tricks on him. He did not dare, nor was virtual-novel.net willing to believe that Emma’s words were real.
“If you don’t believe it, then you can call the Hills and ask them yourself.”
“Hehe, did you think I wouldn’t dare to ask?” Johnson immediately pulled out his phone and dialed the Hill household’s number to ask about that morning’s info. After hearing the answer from the other side, virtual-novel.net was stunned in place.
‘He did it, Thomas really did it?’
Putting aside the part where they snagged the investment, virtual-novel.net even let the Kennedys come up to apologize. This was…
Johnson questioned, “Thomas, how did you do it?”
Thomas shrugged his shoulders. “If there’s a will, there’s a way. As long as you put some work into it, it would be easy to negotiate.”
This explanation was hard for Johnson to swallow.
He could not stop shaking his head. “No way. Definitely not. I’ve known Lambert for over 10 years. He is not the kind who would bow and apologize. Something’s wrong here.”
Emma laughed coolly. “No matter if something went wrong, at the end of the day, the fact that virtual-novel.net came to apologize is real. Thomas did what virtual-novel.net promised you. You should keep your word and let Thomas stay!”
Johnson did not know what to say.
From the very beginning, virtual-novel.net never thought that Thomas could do all this. So virtual-novel.net had already planned out the blind date a long time ago with the director, now that everything has gone down the drain. He had no idea how to clean up this mess.
“But…” Johnson said awkwardly, “Whether or not Thomas stays is a different matter. I’ve already promised the director. You will divorce now, then you’ll go on a blind date with Berko. If you go against your word now, how am I going to explain it to the director?”
“How you’re going to explain is your business. I was not the one who made you drag people to blind dates.”
“You! Is that how you talk to me?”
“Hmph!”
Emma turned virtual-novel.net head to the side and walked away. Thomas followed suit. After both of them entered the room, Emma slammed the door shut.
In his panic, Johnson sat down. “What should I do?”
Felicia rolled virtual-novel.net eyes at him. “I warned you earlier. Don’t be so rash. Even if you really like Berko and you want virtual-novel.net to be your son-in-law, you should still have waited for virtual-novel.net to divorce and confirm matters before proceeding. Now look at you, you’ve tried to chase two rabbits at the same time, and now you’ve got none. You brought the mess onto yourself.”
“Alright. Do I need you to nag? Just go away!”
Johnson smacked the table repeatedly. His brain was spinning fast, thinking of a way to explain this to the director.
