M.I N.E endless Love
Chapter 13: Don't blame Emma

No one answered. The policemen seemed to lose their ability to use their tongue. They looked at Martins and he seemed to be waiting for them also to explain to the President what happened.

"I don't want a crowd at my company. If none can say what happened, then leave my secretary's office" he ordered. He knew that Emma had come to arrest Camilla. Thank goodness how mother had told him that she would bring policemen to throw that trash out of the company.

"We had come to arrest this woman for domestic violence and disturbance of public peace" sergeant Bubu finally answered.

Rodrigo looked calm and still expressionless. He looked from Emma to Camilla and asked "who was abused domestically and on what grounds did she disturb public peace?" Rodrigo asked.

Even if there was a fight in his Mansion that morning, it never would have been a disturbance of public peace. He has security in his appointment who would have readily informed him.

"You have no idea what Camilla did to me Rodrigo. She boasted of being your woman and called me the third wheel in your relationship. She threatened to disfigure me and I told her she was lying.

That was how she poured coffee on me but I dodged and she poured it on my shoulders. As if that was enough, while I was being burnt and screaming that she came to my aid, she slapped me several times on my chin.." she concluded and started sobbing.

"Not only that, she claimed this thing here didn't let her sleep at night. She was moaning shamelessly..." Ella's voice trailed off. She seemed to suddenly cautioned herself. Rodrigo was the man and she cannot humiliate her daughter's future husband.

"That's the complaints they laid and that's why we have come to arrest your employee. Sorry for every inconvenience this might have caused. We would just take her and leave here now" Sergeant Bubu declared and was going to handcuffed Camilla when Rodrigo asked:

"What the heck do you think you are doing? You walked through the gate of this company and went through the elevator to this floor only to come here and arrest my girlfriend?" Rodrigo thundered.

It was obvious this time he was angry. His displeasure was evident in his voice and tone. The policemen looked at each other and gulped down a lump of saliva.

What kind of operation had they embark on that morning? The girl in question is Mr Campbell's girlfriend? No wonder the calmness in her and her relaxed mood.

Where did the incident happen? Where? They didn't bother to ask such details but just came to arrest the accused just like that.

"Are you sure Camilla did this to you?" Rodrigo asked, he is not the type that talked too much. He would rather present evidence than run his mouth like a tap, explaining what could have been avoided.

He looked towards Joel and the latter returned with a laptop. He inserted a USB cord and soon the whole action began. How Camilla came downstairs and sat down to have her breakfast.

Emma approached her and talked rudely to the cook. How Camilla dismissed the cook and got her breakfast herself. The next action, Emma poured her breakfast on her.

When they all have finished watching, Emma's complexion turns into Ashen. How could she have forgotten that there was going to be a surveillance camera in the entire house?

She had concocted the story and aimed at having Camilla arrested. She was going to prove to her she was more powerful and influential than her.

When the recording stopped, neither Emma's parents nor the policemen could utter a word. The record had spoken for Camilla. She glared at Emma and her parents with hostility.

"In what way did she display domestic violence? That she defended herself against an assault is synonymous to practising domestic violence?

She was disturbing public peace you said was her second offence. How could that be when I am in my Mansion and your daughter intrudes into our privacy.

I don't expect that you didn't raise your daughter well to be a proper lady. And you expect me to leave my woman and come get engaged to such a characterless girl?" Rodrigo inquired, speaking in a domineering tone.

Martin felt ashamed of himself. Why would a man like him leave his work and go about with such senseless actions as joining his daughter against a battle for supremacy.

He knew his daughter was having a rivalry with another woman over Rodrigo. He can't imagine that she was the one at fault and yet brought them all to be disgraced and embarrassed.

"I sincerely apologise for my daughter's misbehaviour. Please let this go as if it never happened Mr Campbell" he apologised and clasped his hands together.

Ella looked away and was furious. She can't just let her husband apologise like that and make it appear that her daughter was at fault. No matter what happened or whatever she has done, she was their baby.

They are to support and shield her from outsiders. They might scold her when they get back home but now, they have to protect her.

"I wasn't the one you should be apologising to. Apologise to the one you have wrongly accused" Rodrigo instructed.

They want to humiliate Camilla. They will be the one to leave after losing face. Apologising to her publicly was going to be a difficult thing to do and he would see that they do it.

Ella snorted and eyed Camilla. Martin could choose to do it, but she can never condescend to apologising to this filth. What nonsense?

"You shouldn't blame Emma Me Campbell. She is going to get engaged to you in a couple of weeks. She did no wrong by coming over to your Mansion to get to know you better.

You guys are going to be a couple and as such, should not let her lose face before this thing standing before us. If you are not pleased with her actions, you only need to correct her.

Emma was well brought up, she was raised like a princess from a prestigious family which we all know. You can't stand her up for someone whose origin cannot be explained.." Ella was twisting the whole scenario.

Rodrigo was going to say something when Camilla spoke. She had been quiet since the moment they walked in to stand before her with the policemen.

Now was the time to talk. "Excuse madam, you let your daughter disrespect others and claim she was raised like a princess? You forced your daughter to be with a man who has no feelings for her and you claim she was raised well?

Is that what being raised meant? I do have a Genesis and yet I have Sense of decorum. But you, that your existence can be traced back to the beginning of the world raised this spoiled arrogant thing and shamelessly say you raised her like a princess?

Rodrigo, I want this woman and her daughter arrested for defamation and sued" Camilla said, turning to glance at Rodrigo.

"Joel, get the lawyer and do exactly as Camilla has requested" Rodrigo immediately instructed his assistance. A faint smile appeared on the corners of his lips. That's the kind of woman he wants her to become. Martin glanced at his wife. She should have just been quiet. Now she had added chilling to a healing wound. He had to apologise double fold now before Thai whole nonsense can be resolved.

Ella glared at Camilla. She felt like strangling her. How dare this poor thing, picked from the dunghill, answer her back. She dares to lash at her with her tongue?

She had chewed more than she could swallow. She would get back at her more fiercely that she would never forget that she was called Ella.

"Miss Camilla, please don't put that to heart. On behalf of my family, I sincerely apologise for causing a fuss. I didn't know this was how it all happened.

Emma is still young and still growing. Please forgive her. This is going to be the last time such a scene is created by my family.." Martin said, using all his restraint to keep his arrogance aside and pretend to be humble.

"I want you both to apologise to her" Martin said, turning to look at his wife and daughter. They caused all this while mess and they have to partake in the humiliation.

The policemen ended up being spectators. They came with the sole purpose of making an arrest but now, it appeared they were just spectators who had come to watch a scene.

When two rich people collide, it is only normal that they stay aside and not get involved in the tussle. One way or the other, business and partnership would merge them together again.

They were glad they hadn't made rash behaviour towards the young lady. Otherwise they would have to contend with Mr Campbell, the President of the Campbell's group of companies. "Sorry" Ella murmured and eyed Camilla with pure hatred. She would regret what she had done that day, she would wish she never heard the word sorry from her. Martin looked at Emma, she was reluctant. She doesn't want to condescend so low to apologising to this filth. But her father was glaring at her.

"Sorry" she shrugged and looked away. She had bose face. How can she lose face before this filth? She was being humiliated and it's all Camilla's fault. She's a scheming bitch.

"And I hope I won't be seeing your face anywhere around my Mansion again?" Rodrigo asked and without waiting for another word, he turned to Camilla, " Join me in the conference room" he declared and walked in another direction of the lobby.

Camilla took her computer to show when Martin didn't wait for Camilla to walk out on him before he turned and took long strides towards the general elevator.

Ella and her daughter followed closely behind Martin and the policemen went lastly. When they left, Camilla put her computer down and sank into her seat.

She sighed softly and Wondered what would have happened to her if Rodrigo hadn't come to her aid. How did he know what happened so soon to get a copy of the surveillance recording?

When Jenny left the hospital, she decided to get herself a few things she needed before returning home. Eduardo Anderson mustn't know that she went out.

She wants him to return and Meet her at home as if nothing happened. She went to the grocery store but stumbled upon people she didn't want to meet in another ten years. Enemies are easy to met

Betty was in Company of her two friends Clara and Sandy. Betty was the first to see her and grinned wickedly.

"Hello sister" she said it a little louder than expected of someone who stood before who she was talking to.

Jenny wore a faint smile. She was supposed to be in the position she now found herself and yet goes about freely with her friends.

"Sister? When did you have a sister Betty?" Sandy asked, looking at Jenny who stood surprised at Sandy's words. These ladies know her as Betty's cousin. Why are they staring at her strangely?

They had never gotten along though, because to them Betty and her parents were wealthy and she was just a scumbag who lived with them.

"How can you call someone so shabbily dressed as your sister? She looked so unkept that if I were you, I would have told her to scram off" Clara added.

"She's the dreg of the Davis family. Didn't you remember her, the one that Betty was merciful to and let her share in her parents' love?" Sandy said, obviously talking to Clara.

Betty felt sweet in her belly. Such words were pleasant to her ears." Jenny is my sister and don't forget she's the youngest eldest madam of the Anderson family. You have to talk to her differently now" Betty said, obviously giving her friends more hints on where to humiliate her.

"Oh she's the wife of the crippleaster of the Anderson's family.. and she's looking so shabby?" Clara commented. Though she's afraid to talk about the Anderson's in a terrible way, she feels good to say horrible words at Jenny.

She's just the wife of that cripple in name. But Indeed, body and soul they never can be one. He was said to have become impotent after the accident.

"Oh! I now know why I can't blame her for being so shabby. It's bad luck to be married to a man who cannot be joined with her body and soul. It's a terrible feeling" Sandy said, humiliating Jenny.

"It's really going to be pathetic for people like you who ought to be happy in their homes and have become a widow at such a tender age. That's what happened to people who married for greed.." Jenny was saying when Sandy became furious and slapped her.

She was married but the marriage only lasted for two months before her husband was murdered. He was a rich dude and Sandy had forced herself to him. They were married but it was after he died, that he was murdered by his gang members who he cheated and ran off with their money.

Jenny wasn't expecting that Sandy would also. She staggered backwards. Her eyes went dizzy and almost tripped.

"How dare you slap me? Do you know what my husband is capable of doing to you if he knows what you did to me and all you've said about him?" Jenny asked, regaining her stamina again.

"What can he do? That cripple who cannot help himself except he was being pushed about on a wheelchair? The one who can't make love to you and despite being married, I am sure that part being your legs is still sealed" Sandy mocked, and her friends chuckled aloud.

It was Jenny's turn to slap her. She was well prepared and slapped Sandy with her entire strength, sending the latter tripping off. She grabbed her and held her by her throat.

"The next time you insult my husband or try to ridicule him and call him a cripple, I will choke you to death and damn the consequences. Eduardo is my husband and I am in the habit of protecting what belongs to me.

For your information, he is not impotent, he is a full fleshed man who can make a woman unable to lift her hand after love making and I will not stand here to tell you details about that" Jenny yelled, almost suffocating her.

Betty saw that it was getting out of hand and Betty might strangle Sandy before them. Her friend shouldn't have said anything about Eduardo's disability.

If the Anderson's hear about it, no matter how favoured Sandy was, her entire family will pay dearly for it. She quickly intervened.

"Common, are you really taking it so seriously? She was simply joking and you took it personal?" She came forward and struggled with Jenny to let Sandy go.

The latter was powerless. She just wants to be free from the grip of the she- devil. She is almost suffocating already.

"Why didn't I feel it was a joke Betty?" Jenny asked, glaring at Sandy and suddenly lifted her off her feet and released her.

She dropped on the floor with her ass. She started coughing hysterically. She held her throat and her eyes Popped out as she coughed.

Her complexion had turned red. She was helped to her feet with her eyes red. She was greatly ashamed of herself and couldn't raise her head up.

Many customers that passed by looked at them. They had created a scene already. Betty felt displeased with Jenny's attitude. Does getting married to a cripple make her temper fiery?

"This is for bad-mouthing my husband. When next you say unpleasant words against my husband, I will deal with you" Jenny bellowed

Many women applauded her and called her an ideal woman. Every woman should stand up for her husband and not allow anyone to say humiliating words at her husband.

"You won't get away with it, I swear I will make you pay, "Sandy threatened as she hurriedly ran off from the scene. The sight of people giving Jenny a thumb up and applauding made her feel more embarrassed.

She wanted to play the victim but it went against her. The best thing she could do was to run away from the scene. Clara went after her and Betty stood still on the scene.

As Betty stared at her cousin, she didn't know when Jenny became so temperamental. When did she get married to be protecting him that way.

"Others may be afraid of you or get scared by your actions, but not me. Don't push your luck too far Jenny" Betty challenged, cursing her under her breath.

"Shouldn't you be the one in my present position?" Jenny asked and Betty was furious. What made her ashamed the most is that she had been engaged to that cripple and remembering that instance, made her feel horrible. "Have some shame,"Betty cautioned. She looked around. The way Jenny was acting, she might blow up the deal and everyone would know she was once engaged to a cripple.

"Forget about my shamelessness and think more about yourself. I have this feeling that you are building castles in the air" Jenny declared.

She must be thinking that Eduardo's brother was going to get married to her. But she doubts if his parents would agree with him to be married to the woman who jilted his brother on the day of their wedding. "Jenny..?" Betty called and the latter raised her hand " Mrs Anderson?" She corrected her and looked at Betty disdainfully before walking away.

Just as Jenny walked out of the grocery store, a certain person came stepped out of his hiding and dialled a number on his phone:
