Presiden's wild wife

Chapter 50 Tear is the strategy

Jeremy arrived earlier at the restaurant, waiting for Elena. He was so eager to meet her that he rushed out of the room to welcome her when the manager told him Elena was coming.

“Finally, Elena!” He smiled and felt relived.

Elena sat down and smiled, too. “Our colleague interviewed Emma instead of you and I thought you didn’t want to accept our interview. But how came you changed your mind and called me?”

“Emma accepted the interview?” He said confusedly.

She nodded and took out the interview draft, “See? We are ready to print it.”

Jeremy gave a glance at it and felt angry about every word from Emma. What was she doing? She sent himself away when Elena interviewed him. And then she even accepted the interview, knowing he refused it. What on earth did she want?

Elena took the draft back and asked, “What’s wrong? You don’t look well.”

“Nothing.” He wore the smile quickly, “Just a little confused. Now that I accept your interview, you don’t have to print Emma’s anymore.”

“I agree and that is why I am here.”

Elena started her interview right away. While Jeremy didn’t want to spend too much time on business and answered all her questions quickly. After finishing the interview, he asked the waitress to serve the dishes.

He said to Elena, “They are all your favourite. I ordered them for you especially.”

“Thank you.” Elena just showed her good manner, not her gratefulness. She didn’t hurry to eat the food, but sipped her drink.

He put the dessert near her. “I remember you love this. You and Emma used to fight for it.”

She laughed perfunctorily and lowered her head, playing with her phone. When Jeremy didn’t notice, she took a picture of him and sent it to Emma. When she finished and looked up, Jeremy was looking at her, “You are so slim and should eat more.”

For one moment, she thought Jeremy knew what she was doing and got startled. But the next second, she calmed down and said, “Jeremy, thank you for accepting the interview. Or my boss will think I am a trouble-maker and fire me.”

“Did Emma slander you?” He frowned. He remembered Aria mentioned this last time, but he didn’t know what happened exactly.

Elena denied it at once, “No! Come on, don’t over-think. Emma did nothing to me.”

But Jeremy already knew Emma very well. She must have done something. He got angry and his fists clenched. “Nothing? She said I was cheating on her and asked a detective to investigate me! Remember what happened in the hotel? She is insane!”

“Take it easy, Jeremy...”

“Elena, you know I always love you. I marry Emma just for your sake. I just want to make your happy, but now...”

His eyes were filled with sorrow and misery. He couldn’t help thinking about her all the time. But every time he woke up in the late night, the one who slept beside him was Emma.

“Jeremy...” Elena avoided him when he reached out to hold her hand.

“Elena, can we get together again? I can divorce Emma, and you divorce Logan. I will take good care of you. Let’s forget the past and move on, OK?”

Elena was surprised about what he said.

“Jeremy!” a scream broke his sincere confession.

Emma rushed into the room, looking at them with resentfulness. “Elena, you bitch! How shameless you are! How dare you hook up with my husband?!” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Elena said in an innocent tone, “No, I didn’t. What are you talking about, my dear sister?”

Emma hated her fake innocence and wanted to tear it into pieces. However, Jeremy stood up and protected Elena from Emma’s attack, “Enough! Emma.”

“Why did you protect her?”

Jeremy stood before Elena and was determined to protect her. “We are here for work! You troublemaker! Who is more shameless?”

“You mean I am more shameless? Jeremy, how can you treat me like that? Can’t you see she plotted all this?” Emma was trembling because of hatred.

He ignored Emma and turned to Elena apologetically. “Elena, I’m sorry about it. May you go first? I need to talk to Emma in private.”

Elena agreed. But when she stood up and was ready to leave, she was pulled by Emma tightly.

“Stop! Don’t you dare to move!”

Emma took out her phone with the other hand and showed her, “Don’t play innocence! Look at it, this message was from you, right? You planned this!”

Elena took her phone calmly. Instead of checking the message, she opened the album and found the photos taken by Aria in the washroom, which clearly showed she was bullied by Aria.

She knew Emma too well. Emma hated her so much that she wouldn’t delete these photos at all. Instead, she would save them in her phone and enjoy her suffering.

Emma was too confident that she could prove to Jeremy Elena did this and didn’t notice what she was doing. But the next moment, she saw Elena holding her phone and yelling in disbelief, “Emma...my dear sister, why do you have these photos?”

The photos? No!

She failed to get her phone back because Jeremy was faster than her. He grabbed the phone and his face darkened in anger.

“The photos were taken by Aria when bullying me because she misunderstood I stole her interview! So she took her revenge. But why do you have them? Did you...did you collaborate with Aria to torture me?”

Elena’s voice was getting lower and lower till no one could hear her clearly. And then she started crying.

Emma was nervous and tried to explain to Jeremy, “It’s not what you think, Jeremy. I don’t know what she was talking about. And these photos have nothing to do with me!”

But he was too furious to accept her explanation. He smashed the phone on the ground and growled, “Emma, I can forgive you when you asked somebody to investigate me in secret. But Elena is you sister, how can you hurt her with other people!”

“Jeremy, no, I didn’t do it! Believe me please!” She held his hand so tightly and turned to Elena, “Tell him! Explain it! I didn’t do it and the photos have nothing to do with me!”

But Elena refused to explain for her, “What can I say? The photos were found in your phone!

Can you imagine how they tortured me! I almost died and stayed in the hospital for two days! You can check my record in the hospital, it’s true!”

The more she said, the paler Jeremy’s face turned. And Emma couldn’t speak for herself anymore. She was hopeless.

Elena pretended to wipe her tears, “Emma, I really hope it has nothing to do with you. But, the photos…”

She didn’t continue and rushed out of the room with tears, leaving them keeping quarreling.

“Elena you bitch!” a curse was following her when she left the room. It was from Emma with her utmost hatred.

Eventually, she left the restaurant and got the interview she wanted. What was more, she provoked a war between them successfully. All these cheered her up. She looked at the eyedrops used as tears in her bag, smiling cunningly.

Wow, tears were such a good strategy to inspire man’s protectiveness.

Emma used to make good use of her tears when she made mistakes, so their father would put all blame on Elena. Now Elena realized how silly she was to tolerate Emma quietly all the time! It’s her tolerance that made Emma think she could do whatever she wanted to her.
