Emily got in touch with her mother, Madeleine, almost immediately.

She told her about the great news she had received. Someone who might be capable of treating her father, her husband, had shown up.

Madeleine shed tears of joy. She urged Emily and told her to procure the skilled practitioner's help at all costs. No matter what it would take, they were determined to save Emily's father. Emily hung up the call and walked into the building of Hamilton Construction.

Jackson had called her and asked her to drop by the company in an anxious manner previously.

Hence, she rushed over as he had requested.

Meanwhile, Jackson was throwing a tantrum inside his office.

Darren Collins had the guts to stab the heir of the Hamilton family in front of the Hamilton's. Because of this, Jackson was enraged and about to lose his cool.

He vented his anger on Emily the moment she showed up.

"Emily, you damned b****! Look at what you've done!"

Emily shuddered in fear when she saw him going ballistic. "Jackson, what's wrong?"

"You idiot! It's your fault! You're the one who suggested the idea!" scolded Jackson.

"Darren turned his back against me and stabbed me! Are you sure you're not one of his accomplices? Everything seems too suspicious!"

Emily was dumbfounded when she heard his words.

She was the one who had goaded Jackson into action previously. Emily told Jackson to coerce the supplier and stop supplying Lacey with the steels her mill would require. Emily was certain Lacey's steel mill wouldn't have made it through the crisis.

However, she managed to brace herself through the crisis and returned the favour to Jackson instead. He was backstabbed as a result.

Emily immediately begged for forgiveness. "Jackson, I'd never set you up with Darren. It's a misunderstanding! It must be a misunderstanding!" Jackson was enraged. "Get the hell out of my company! No subsidiary of the Hamilton Group will employ such an employee like you anymore!" "I will deal with the Hinton family on my own! You should stop getting in my way!"

A chill ran down Emily's spine when she heard Jackson's words.

She was a procurement specialist for the Hamilton family. In fact, she enjoyed her role because she would be compensated handsomely in terms of money. Her life would be turned upside down should she lose her job as a procurement specialist.

She begged Jackson to show him mercy and even tried to seduce him.

However, Jackson was determined to terminate Emily because he deemed her as the one behind his misery.

In the end, Emily had to pack her stuff and leave Hamilton Construction's building.

She was pale and haggard with her mind all over the place.

Emily stared at the passerby on the street and lost herself in her thoughts.

She had no idea what to do next.

Suddenly, a brochure on the ground caught her attention.

She picked it up and went through the content of it.

The Schneider family, one of the top conglomerates in Oakheart City was hiring.

Her eyes gleamed when she saw the position of a procurement specialist.

She had managed to generate a fortune while she was attached to the Hamilton family.

Emily was certain she would be able to gain more with the Schneider family.

"I'm afraid I can barely meet the minimum requirements with my capability. Oh! Susan's hotel is one of the Schneider family's assets!"

"I'm sure Susan will be able to help me! If she's willing to help me, I'm sure I will be able to make the cut!"

She immediately called Susan after she made up her mind.

Susan accepted her invitation without any hesitation. She would keep Emily company and follow her to the Schneider family's place for her interview tomorrow. Emily was delighted because Susan promised to employ her connections to help her. She expressed her gratitude over and over again.

...

It was getting late in the evening.

Lacey spent some time with her family in the living room watching TV after their dinner session. It was a heartwarming scene.

Daniel reached for a cigarette and handed it over to Zeke. "Zeke, join me. A cigarette after dinner is the best."

Zeke took the cigarette. "Thanks, dad."

Lacey knitted her eyebrows. "Zeke, put the cigarette out. Have you forgotten what I've told you? I will only allow you to court me if you quit smoking."
