Semua Bab Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO: Bab 1671 - Bab 1680

Deborra believed Emma had discovered through Ron that she was not actually his girlfriend. Thus, Deborra was convinced that Emma's words were solely to provoke her.Unable to stomach that attitude, Deborra shot a look at Lauren and said, "Handle it."Lauren Jordan, Deborra's sidekick, stepped forward with her arm poised to strike Emma.Luckily, Emma was quick, catching Lauren's incoming hand. "What do you think you're doing?"Both were taken aback by her unexpected display of strength, having always seen Emma as delicate and fragile.Lauren glanced at Deborra, who signaled her to back off. Left alone with Emma, Deborra's gaze was icy. "Do you believe I can get you kicked out of Valtara University?"Emma bit her lip, defiantly glaring back at Deborra.Deborra, smirking, said, "A mere flick of my finger, and it's more than expulsion from Valtara University. I can ensure your departure leaves a lasting impression, making you infamous."Emma, not one to stir trouble yet no fool eit

Evelyn said, "This water is for your crush. If you spot a hunky senior you like, go ahead, and give him the water. If he takes it, it's a sure sign he's into you too."Emma had a lightbulb moment. "I get it now." But then, she tilted her head back and gulped down the entire bottle in one go.Evelyn was nearly fuming. "You got it, so why the heck did you drink it? And in one gulp? What about your image?"Emma retorted. "Because I'm not into guys."Cassie chimed in. "Don't speak too soon. Wait till you see dozens of buff and hot seniors oozing charm and pheromones. I bet you'll find someone you like."As they were talking, the loudspeaker blared. "Everybody, take your seats, our athletes are about to make their grand entrance.""Ah..."The cheers from the girls hit a fever pitch as the athletes started marching in, loud enough to almost rip the sky open.The announcer boomed, "Entering now, the Chucklewood University basketball team."The basketball players were towering giants,

Ron's look was complicated and dark; Emma was startled, quickly ducking her head to avoid his stare.An empty water bottle struck Emma out of nowhere. She jerked her head up, locking eyes with Ron as expected. His lips moved slightly as if to say, "Lift your head, don't be a coward."Emma straightened up immediately, chest out, sitting upright.Cassie returned at that moment, clutching a bottle, after evidently failing to deliver water. Ron shifted his gaze away. Cassie caught the moment Ron looked away, then glanced at Emma."Ah, Emma, was Ron just looking at you?""No. Don't start rumors," Emma replied.Cassie sighed. "What a pity!"The halftime break was quickly over. Some players were substituted, but Ron was still on the field. He shone the brightest, tireless, scoring more than anyone else.The whole crowd was cheering for him, and by the end of the game, Ron had gathered a bunch of new fans. The whole place was chanting Ron's name.Before anyone knew it, the game was ov

Ron ignored Deborra and continued walking. He moved with long strides, each step almost double that of Deborra's, forcing her to sprint to catch up. "Ron."Ron was visibly annoyed when Deborra blocked his way. "What is it?"Deborra pulled out her smartphone and opened a video. "Look at this."Although Ron initially showed no interest in the video on her phone, the sound of Emma's voice and Eden's confession of love to Emma in the video caught his attention.He glanced at it; unlike the typical reactions of blushing or shyness, Emma's expression was taut, intensely serious. It was kind of cute, in its own way.He raised an eyebrow. "What are you trying to tell me?"Deborra could not guess what he was thinking and was cautious not to make her words too harsh. "I know Emma is the fiancée your grandfather chose for you, but others don't know that. It's normal for them to confess to her."Ron gave her a cold look. "I'm close with your brother, not so much with you. 'Ron' isn't a name

Emma was a maestro of several musical instruments, holding internationally recognized certifications that made her hourly tutoring rate soar above the average. By teaching just two classes a day, each an hour long, she earned more than many who toiled in conventional jobs.The two hours of lessons might appear insignificant, but teaching children required mental stamina that left Emma feeling somewhat exhausted after each session.Therefore, she looked for a third job that would be physically rather than mentally exhausting. She still needed to reserve energy for her studies. Earning money was crucial, as was her education. Failing a course was not an option for her.By the time her classes ended, it was already nine at night. But in Valtara, it was hardly late.Just then, a message from Evelyn popped up: [Are you done with classes?]Emma replied: [Yes, just finished.]Evelyn quickly sent over a location before texting: [Cassie and I are already here. Hurry over. Also, let us kno
