Chapter 237 Venturing Alone into Emerald Lake Manor The next second, Emily took advantage of the security guard's distraction and slipped in, her small frmaking it easy.

Michael was in the bedroom, buried in paperwork. He sighed deeply when he heard the noise and set his pen down.

Emily burst in, the security guard hot on her heels, shouting, "Mrs. Smith, you're really puttingin a tough spot. Mr. Smith, I didn't let her in, she just..." The poor security guard was in a real bind.

He kept apologizing to both Michael and Emily.

Emily felt for him, but she was determined to see Michael today.

This issue needed to be settled; Michael couldn't dodge it, and neither could she.

Plus, Emily genuinely cared about Michael. She couldn't lie to herself or ignore her conscience.

Ignoring the guard's pleas, Emily went straight to Michael. "Are you okay?" Michael couldn't help but chuckle coldly at the scene. Seeing them both standing there awkwardly, he chose to ignore Emily and waved the security guard off, saying calmly, "Your bonus for this month is gone. Leave." The guard's face fell, and he sighed as he walked out.

Emily knew Michael was aiming his frustration at her. She frowned and asked directly, "Do you really have to do this?" "Do what?" Michael shot back without hesitation. "You toldto leave, to stop meddling in your life. Emily, you're really something. Look who's meddling now." Saying this felt like a stab to Michael's heart.

But he had to push Emily away.

No one knew how much his leg hurt, or how much his heart was breaking.

"But you got hurt because of me. I should take care of you until your leg heals, then I'll go." Emily stepped forward.

Michael cut her off coldly. "Don't flatter yourself. How do you know it was for you, Emily? Sometimes I really don't get you. You don't appreciate my kindness, but now you want to take care of me." "Letbe clear, even if it was Ava or the security guard standing there, I would have saved them. Got it? It wasn't about you, so just leave and don't cback." Michael picked up his pen again.

After those harsh words, he buried himself back in his work.

But only he knew how much he was shaking. He wanted Emily to stay, but he had to push her away with those cruel words.

He didn't want her to feel guilty, or to stay out of obligation.

Emily's eyes filled with tears.

She knew Michael had never liked her from the start.

What Abigail said about those changes was just a fleeting illusion. How could Michael ever fall for her? It was all a joke.

From the beginning, Emily was just a joke.

Emily said, "I won't take up much of your time. And don't get it twisted, I'm just making a meal to show my appreciation. Eat it or don't." Leaving that cold remark, Emily swallowed her hurt and was about to leave when she heard the click of high heels approaching. She stopped instinctively. Michael was drawn to the sound of footsteps too. He was caught off guard, not expecting anyone at this hour.

He turned to look at the door.

"My son already said he wouldn't eat, so why bother making it?" It was Scarlett.

She had a habit of coming and going from Emerald Lake Manor as she pleased, something Emily had momentarily forgotten.

Realizing this, Emily instinctively took a step back.

Scarlett walked gracefully from the shadows into the light. Her white patent leather high heels, adorned with what looked like expensive diamonds, were hard to miss.

Emily glanced down at her own canvas shoes, feeling a pang of inadequacy, and took a few more steps back. Her mind drifted to three years ago when she first met Scarlett.

Back then, she had just graduated from college, filled with dreams and hopes for the future. She never imagined that falling in love and wanting to marry into a wealthy family would change everything. Emily suddenly felt she should have known better.

No matter how hard she tried, she could never measure up to these people born into wealth.
