Chapter 1750
"So, I did a little digging into OrbitaTech Ventures, and sure enough, it's under the control of the James family"
Magdalen chuckled with a knowing smile, "Makes sense, right?"
Estelle found this surprising yet expected, she nodded in realization, "No wonder!"
No wonder Shawn had found a job so quickly — it was all Charlie's doing. If it was Charlie's company, it would certainly explain the manager's attitude.
“Let's not worry about it for now. Charlie must have his plans!" Magdalen said.
Estelle nodded, “Alright!"
While they were talking, Magdalen was receiving constant messages from Morrison.
Estelle said, "You should head back. I'll stay here with Emily for a while!"
"Okay!" Magdalen put away her phone, "I'll head back first then. Call me if you need anything. Also, tell Emily that it might be a good thing that her family ties are severed. She shouldn't dwell on it too much!"
“Emily will understand on her own!" Estelle responded, handing her car keys to Magdalen, “Take my car, yours is still in the set!"
"Okay!" Magdalen took the keys, waved goodbye to Estelle, and left.
Estelle tidied up the kitchen as Emily came out of her room, "Where is Magdalen?"
"Morrison needed her for something. She left already!" Estelle poured a glass of water for Emily, ‘Feeling any better?"
She pressed her lips, speaking slowly, "Not necessarily! I've been in countless desperate situations before, but as long as we dont give up, there's always a glimmer of hope. You shouldn't give up either. Maybe things will take a turn for the better soon!"
“Will they?" Emily held the water glass tightly, laughing self-mockingly.
“For sure!" Estelle grabbed Emily's shoulder, her tone firm.
Emily looked at Estelle, the latter's steady and resilient gaze filling her with a sense of strength. She smiled through her tears, nodding, “Don't worry. I won't be crushed. No matter how difficult the road ahead, I will make it through"
"You will!” Estelle smiled back.
After talking with Emily late into the night, Estelle finally went upstairs.
Jonathan was sitting on the couch, reviewing some papers. Seeing her come in, he stood up, and caressed her face with a gentle look in his eyes, "You need a warm bath."
