Chapter 2

Today's dinner is no longer as warm as before. The four people around Emily were enjoying the food on their respective plates, occasionally glancing at one as if to say something, but Emily heard not a word filling the room.

Even Charles did not seem interested in enjoying their dinner with a little light conversation.

Charles enjoyed his meal in silence, and so did Jason. There was no sound of talking like they did at the dinner table. This time, Emily could hear only the clinking of the cutlery filling the silence of the room containing the five people.

"For your wedding later—" Charles seemed to start an awkward and wanted to create a chat; what he looked forward to most seemed to be the wedding of his beloved son to his adopted daughter, who was also Charles' darling.

Unfortunately, the highest authority had not finished expressing all his feelings, and Jason had cut off the conversation.

"Dad, does it have to be now? Can't you talk about it later?" interrupted Jason, not liking the discussion that Charles had just started.

So what are they going to do at the wedding? Why is it a hot topic to talk about at the dinner table?

Charles fell silent again. However, not because he agreed with his son's opinion, but rather because he thought about something else he should say. However, as for the wedding, it must be luxurious and magnificent.

"If you don't want to hear it, whatever. I'll talk about this with Emily and your mother," replied Charles, who did not want to be constantly refuted and resisted by all his wishes.

No one should be against the authority of Charles McKennel.

Even if it is his wife, he will defend all his opinions and fight the wife.

"I have already invited a few colleagues. I want a grand event, so everyone knows my son deserves to receive a high position in the Kennel'z Industry."

Charles returned to feed a spoonful of food and chewed it for a while.

"Tomorrow, there will be some people from the subscription boutique who will come here for wedding dress fittings. I hope you don't act up, Jason. Or I will realize my threat. Did you hear that?!"

Jason did not answer the father's questions and requests. He ate and got up after finishing a portion of the steaks on his plate.

"I'm going in first. It's up to you guys what you want to arrange; I will follow Dad's will. But remember one thing, never gets in the way of my relationship with Tamara. Since you know, I agreed to marry Emily because of coercion."

He twisted his body, then passed from the room, leaving another who turned tight-lipped.

This time, Jared seemed to want to vote against the father's decision.

He still couldn't figure out why his father had matched Emily with Jason. In contrast, everyone knew how close Emily was to him.

"What's wrong with you, Dad? Your decision was so absurd, did you know that? Do you care about Emily's feelings? Have you ever asked?"

"I don't need your opinion since you're not willing to take my place to hold the company's leadership, Jared," Charles replied.

Emily—the subject of conversation and perhaps merely a scapegoat for a goal—was silent.

What can she do besides accepting the verdict of her adoptive father and her boss at work? Are there any other options for her? She then got up slowly, tidying up the remaining dishes, assisted by the domestic assistants.

However, Emma touches Emily's hand and signals that she should leave everything for the maid to work on.

"I'll go back to my room," Emily said goodbye to Emma, who just nodded as she smiled as if to say that all would be well.

What's okay?

Will living with a man who doesn't love you and you don't love will be able to bring you happiness? Emily could probably make an effort to love Jason, but what about Jason? Is he willing to work on the same thing?

Emily didn't want to be a selfless child; after what Charles and Emma did to her, all the kindness and affection they gave, was it appropriate for her to reject what a mandate for her was?

Not yet in her room, Jason pulled Emily's arm and led the girl into his room. Impregnate her against the wall in the confines of both arms.

"What do you want, Jason? Let me go!" cried Emily, who was instantly silenced by Jason's hand.

"Don't shout, Em! Or you will regret it!"

"I know, but what will you do to me?"

Jason looked outwards, then again drew a look at the hazel bead belonging to the girl before him.

"Why don't you do something? Why not refuse when dad talks about the marriage, Em? What do you want? Do you want to take control of dad's property?" he accused, to which he only replied with a snarky whimper.

It is easy for him to accuse Emily of intending to control the McKennel family property. Even though she wants to do whatever she wants, she will not be able to prevent the arranged marriage arranged by Charles.

"You know your father, do you?" replied Emily briefly. She doesn't need to explain to Jason how the father's character is exemplary. He must have known.

Jason seemed to be about to answer Emily's words, but he didn't do so when he heard a knocking sound that Emily believed was not from the door.

Knock, knock, knock!

"It must be Tamara. You shut up here and don't go anywhere!" ordered Jason, then turned and walked towards the window. He opened and brought a woman—about a few years above Jason and was married—into his room. Through the window.

What perfect!

"Jase, what are you doing? If Mr. Mckennel knew, you would—"

"Shut you up, Emily! If you let him know, it means that this is because of you!"

The man then turned around, welcoming the lover whose clothes were even like lack of material, or the material was too cheap because it was so hollow and thin that it revealed the inside of her body.

Jason wrapped an arm around Tamara's hips, pulled her closer, and tucked her lips together.

A long and deep kiss.

They seemed to forget that there was someone else in the room. Or did Jason deliberately do it in Emily's presence?

Then ... what was Emily in that room for? Is it to witness their intimacy? Did Jason do that with the intention of Emily off?

However, what's in it for Jason to do that?

Emily then turned around, about to step outside the room and go back to her room. Why was she in that room and frozen as if she was watching a scene in a blue film? Emely even had to witness Jason, who had brought Tamara to lie on the couch not far from where Emely was standing.

Jason laid Tamara down without removing his kiss from the woman's lips.

Emily was not supposed to witness the indecent scene that Jason played. However, when she was about to swing a step, the man called his name.

"Emily! You must not come out of this room or turn your back to me!"

Emily's brow furrowed, not understanding what Jason wanted from her at this time.

"What do you mean?" the girl asked, starting to get annoyed.

"You stay where you are, facing me!" ordered Jason. "You must not look away and witness what Tamara and I are doing from start to finish!"

IT'S CRAZY!
