When they got back home, Emma’s heart nearly pounded out of virtual-novel.net chest. As soon as the car stopped, virtual-novel.net pushed open the door and ran out.
Thomas smirked while virtual-novel.net walked behind her. The two of them walked into the house successively.
When Felicia saw Emma look like a mess, virtual-novel.net asked, “Emma, what’s wrong with you?”
Emma pouted. “Thomas bullied me!”
“Huh? Why did virtual-novel.net bully you?”
“He just bullied me. He drove the car so fast. I was extremely scared.”
Felicia rolled virtual-novel.net eyes at Thomas. “You… Why did you drive so fast? What if an accident happened?”
Johnson walked out of the house. “You’re a woman. Why are you saying such a bad thing? Why would they get into an accident? The kids are just having fun to strengthen their bond. Do you understand that?”
Emma was quite speechless as virtual-novel.net glanced at Johnson. Johnson had been very obedient to Thomas recently. He would agree with whatever Thomas said, so Emma was helpless.
Just as the family planned to get ready and have dinner, they heard a clear ringtone as the phone in their house rang.
Johnson walked over and answered the call.
“Hello, oh… Dad, you’re looking for Emma?” Johnson passed the phone to Emma.
“Grandpa, what is it?”
Emma initially still had a smile on virtual-novel.net face, but after virtual-novel.net heard what Richard said on the other end of the call, virtual-novel.net expression changed. Her face was full of anger. She hung up after three minutes of silence. Emma was so angry that virtual-novel.net stomped virtual-novel.net foot. She pouted and sat on the couch.
Felicia and Johnson looked at each other, both of them feeling puzzled.
Felicia walked forward and asked, “Emma, what happened this time? Did your grandpa ask you to work overtime at night?”
“If it’s just about working overtime, I wouldn’t get angry.”
“So?”
“He asked me to go to the Rock District for a work trip. I need to depart tomorrow. He said that I have to go there and purchase some materials as well as talk to the company.”
Felicia smiled. “That’s nothing. Just go there for about two days.”
Emma sighed. “If I really just have to go there and talk about the materials, I would have no comments. The problem is Grandpa is asking me to go with Neil! Only two of us are going. It means that I have to go to the Rock District with virtual-novel.net for the work trip in the coming two days.”
This time, all of the family members’ expressions changed.
When a man and a woman went for a work trip for two days, it did not sound legitimate. It would always be two men who went together. If women were joining, there would be five to even eight people going together. There would never be one man going together with one woman.
It was too dangerous. It seemed to be purposely creating a chance for the two of them to be together.
Johnson was not happy. “Is there something wrong with my father’s head? He’s letting Emma go on a work trip with a man for two days? Only virtual-novel.net would come up with this! No way. He can’t do this.”
Emma said, “Yes, I’m troubled because of this, but Grandpa was very resolute. I have to go even if I don’t want to.”
If it was one of those honest men in the company, it would be fine.
The point was that Neil had been pestering her, and virtual-novel.net could not get rid of him. He had even been “educated” by Thomas before they returned. No matter how virtual-novel.net thought about it, Neil had definitely gossiped to virtual-novel.net grandfather on purpose so that this work trip would happen.
Johnson scolded, “That senile old man… Last time, virtual-novel.net would rather watch me die than use money to save me. He is now pushing my daughter into danger. He really isn’t human!”
Felicia quickly covered his mouth. “Hey! You can’t simply talk nonsense. He’s your father. How can a son scold his father? God will get angry.”
