Lahat ng Kabanata ng Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO: Kabanata 1681 - Kabanata 1690

Emma stared at the thugs with a cold, steady gaze, her words resonating with undeniable force. "Whether or not that's the case, you can verify it yourselves. Call Deborra directly if you must. Considering she didn't inform you of this critical detail beforehand suggests she was setting you up for a fall."The leader of the thugs saw Emma's confident demeanor, which did not hint at deception, and slowly pulled out his phone to dial a number. "The person you're asking us to target is Ron Hagrid's fiancée?"Emma could not hear the response, but she observed the thug's expression turning increasingly sour until he finally spat out a curse and ended the call.His gaze shifted back to Emma. "Lucky girl," he grumbled.After saying this, he turned and walked away, his followers trailing behind him.In Valtara, the Hagrid and Blue families were untouchable titans. The thugs knew this better than anyone.Emma watched them until they vanished. Then, her legs gave way, and she collapsed onto

Evelyn said, "We've ordered quite a bit, yours included, so eat some even if you're not hungry. See how famished you look. How about this? You go see to your business first, and we'll meet again in the dormitory later."After rattling that off, Evelyn hung up the call without giving Emma a chance to respond.Emma put her phone away, looked at Ron, and said seriously, "Ron, you arrived the moment those three gangsters surrounded me, so you should already know who was trying to mess with me.""So what if I do?" Ron said nonchalantly.Emma was furious, barely able to contain her anger, outraged that his woman had sent someone to mess with her, and yet he had the gall to say something like this."Both of us are constrained by our circumstances. Neither of us wants this marriage. I've told you before, I will not stop you from finding the one you love."Ron raised his eyebrow but did not say anything.Emma continued, "When your girlfriend looked for me, I said the same to her, that yo

Jake did not press the question. "Alright, I will arrange for a driver near your university to pick you up. Please wait for a moment."'Oh, so their drivers don't just stick around the residence; they were all over the place.' Emma found out something new about the Hagrid family.She then nodded. "Alright."In just five short minutes, Emma got into a car sent by the Hagrid family.There were few vehicles on the road at this hour of the night. With a smooth journey, she arrived after half an hour.Jake had told Philip that Emma was visiting, so Philip did not retire to his chambers but instead sat in the living room waiting for her.When he heard that Emma had arrived, Philip wanted to get up and receive her.Jake immediately held onto Philip, saying, "Sir, she's of the younger generation; there is no need for you to receive her."Philip gave Jake an icy look. "Don't think I don't know you're like the rest of the people at home, waiting for a chance to step on that lass."Upon

No one would ever want their hidden traumas to be used as conversation fodder.Yet, Emma still kept silent."You're not willing to talk to me?" Ron asked."What does it matter even if I were to talk to you?" Emma retorted.Ron then smiled. "You may be timid, but you still have a lot of good points, like being self-aware."Emma no longer wanted to give him any attention so she closed her eyes and tried to sleep.Ron did not disturb her, and they both spent a peaceful night.The next morning, both of them woke up early and even accompanied Philip for breakfast before setting off to school together.None of them spoke throughout the half-hour journey until they arrived at school.Ron dropped Emma off at the same intersection as yesterday morning, and Emma walked the rest of the way to the university.Since there were no classes today, Emma went straight back to the dormitory.Just as she stepped into her dormitory room, she heard Evelyn say, "Emma, look at the school intranet w

Emma expressed her gratitude. Shortly after, she found herself being ushered into the music director's office."Ms. Murray, Ms. Libre is here."Looking up, Joyce saw Emma's young face. "I didn't expect you to be so young and yet able to produce such fine lyrics and melodies."In the music industry, hard work was not always enough; some people were just born for it. Emma was one of those naturally gifted individuals, though her family circumstances had limited her opportunities.As a newcomer in the professional world, Emma could not always tell if compliments were genuine or not, but she chose to believe them.She smiled and said, "Most of the people who play our game are around my age, and the protagonist is also about as old as I am. Maybe that's why I can empathize with her and write the lyrics and music the way I do."Joyce said, "You're being modest."There was a common belief that the younger generation was arrogant and overly confident, and Joyce had encountered her fair
