The police officer explained the whole situation to me.

Emery wanted to file an application for custody of their son, Xavier. She also requested that all the joints

assets should go to her. Initially, both parties had reached an agreement, but their decision somehow

reached Hunter’s parents, and they were not happy about it. His parents were strict with family traditions,

so they refused to let Emery take their precious grandson away from them. They went to her office to

confront her and made a big fuss.

Emery immediately called the police, and she was brought in for questioning. Hunter’s mother had said

some offensive things to her prior to my arrival. Despite that, Emery remained calm and composed.

Instead, Mrs. Zane was aggravated with anger and passed out on the spot.

The police released Emery since she wasn’t involved in physical or verbal violence. I sent her home after

I signed some documents.

On our way home, she stared out the window in silence as though something was bothering her.

I guessed she was worried about the custody, so I tried to comfort her. “The Zanes may seem like a

better fit for Xavier, but you have the advantage in terms of financial resources. The judges will also take

the morality clause into consideration. We will prove his infidelity to the court, so you have the upper

hand.”

Emery turned her head to me and replied softly, “Mr. Newman told me the same thing. I trust you guys

one hundred percent on this.”

“Thanks.” I patted her back gently. “I know it’s hard to deal with a stubborn parent, but just bear with

them. Do what you think is right. Don’t take their words to heart.”

Then I realized that she dressed differently that day, more like the girl next door. She put on a long

delicate silk dress on her voluptuous body, probably to hide her sexiness and scars.

“It doesn’t matter. I’m used to it. They never like me as their daughter-in-law anyway,” she muttered. After

a pause, she blurted, “By the way, I will go abroad in two days to do a scar removal surgery. I’ll leave the

company to you. As for the lawsuit, my standpoint is still the same. They deserve censure and

punishment. Also, Delilah and his parents might push my lawyer to the wall. I’ll need your help when that

happened.”

“Don’t worry. Just leave everything here to me. If I can’t handle it, my bodyguard will settle it for me.” I

laughed. Emery calmed down a bit and sat silently for a while before she called her secretary. She

wanted to get her mother-in-law transferred to a better hospital.

“After all, they were once my family. I must do my responsibility, nothing else,” she explained calmly.

I was not surprised. I knew Emery had a clear line of demarcation between love and hate. She was kind-

hearted and a big softie on the inside despite her sharp tongue. It was almost ten o’clock when I reached

home. I saw John sitting in the living room. And in front of him, there was a man in a suit.

When I was about to walk up the stairs toward my bedroom after an exhausting day, John called out to

me. “Letty, come here for a bit.”

“What is it?” I asked as I walked over.

He didn’t respond. Instead, the gentleman in front of him stood up and said, “Ms. Stovall, it’s about

Summer’s school transfer. There are some documents that need your sign of approval. When are you

available?”

“Summer’s transfer?” I asked, confused. After a moment, I gazed down at John. “What does this mean?

Why does Summer need to be transferred?”

Without any expression, he replied, “I’ll explain to you later. Now, you should discuss this with him. You

know, the procedure could be troublesome.”

“Ms. Stovall, I know you’re busy. How about you ask your secretary to email me your schedule instead? I

will make an arrangement and let you know about it. Here, this is my name card with my contact

information.”
