“Oh, dear… There’s no justice, they’re hitting people…” On the side, Elia Parker was still crying loudly, determined to undermine Emily Walker and maintain her own reputation, even if it meant not doing business today.

Emily’s words infuriated Iris Carter to the extreme, as she calculated how to make her pay and teach her the consequences of crossing swords with the mother and daughter.

“Excuse me, I want to know why you pushed my mother to the ground!?”

Not wanting to engage in a war of words with the mother and daughter any longer, Emily knew she would not win anyway, so it was better to leave quietly and be out of sight.

Turning her head, Emily picked up the small backpack on her seat, preparing to leave through the people who had gathered around.

“Hey, do you really think you can just leave after pushing someone? What do you think this place is? What do you think the law is?” Seeing Emily about to leave, Iris quickly grabbed Emily’s arm, not intending to let her go that easily!

Seeing her arm being held, Emily looked back, her eyes filled with icy coldness. “The law? Are you sure you want to talk about the law with me?”

It was by manipulating the law that the mother and daughter had taken away the rice restaurant her father had built up over all those years. She couldn’t understand why her father, who had always been loving to her and her little brother, would leave all the property to the two of them.

She only knew that 18 years ago, in order to gain Elia Parker’s trust, her father had transferred the ownership of the villa to her name. But for the other properties, her father had never made any will.

Although Emily found that will suspicious, without any evidence she was powerless, and could only watch the Carter Family’s assets become someone else’s.

“What exactly did you and your mother do to take over my father’s assets?” Emily looked at Iris and then at Elia.

Because of her sudden words, Elia’s face instantaneously changed, and for a moment she forgot to ‘act’. She could only stare at Emily, worried that she had discovered something.

Compared to Elia, Iris was much more composed. She looked at Emily and raised a mocking smile. “Stop talking nonsense here. Do you want to know the real reason why you didn’t inherit the will?”

At this, Emily couldn’t help but stiffen her face. Was there something else going on in this?

No, there shouldn’t be. If there really were other reasons, her father would definitely have told her.

“If you want to know the truth, then follow me.” With that said, Iris left the ?crowd and walked towards the private room area behind the rice restaurant.

Perhaps to confirm her uneasiness, Emily followed Iris without hesitation, seeing her retreating figure.

The three of them arrived at a VIP private room. The reason Iris changed location instead of speaking in the grand hall was because she knew that if what she was about to say were to be overheard, it might have unnecessary repercussions for the rice restaurant, as well as harm her mother and herself.

“What exactly are you trying to say?” As soon as they entered the private room, Emily asked coldly.

If it were not absolutely necessary, she wouldn’t want to stay a second longer in front of the mother and daughter

Elia, who had been standing next to her, initially thought Emily had found something out and her heart was uneasy. She couldn’t believe her daughter brought this bitch Emily here at this moment..
