Chapter 121
Emilia had slapped Nathan quite forcefully, and initially, it wasn’t very noticeable. However, after she left, a distinct slap mark gradually appeared on Nathan’s face.
Shawn watched in shock as Emilia left and then turned his attention to Nathan. Apart from looking more stern, Nathan didn’t seem particularly
angry.
Shawn couldn’t help but wonder if this was still their CEO, Nathan Miller.
He marveled at how much Nathan’s status had declined after the divorce. He remembered how Emilia used to be soft–spoken and accommodating in front of Nathan. No matter what Nathan did or said, she never got
angry or upset.
And now, she had just publicly slapped Nathan in the face!
Shawn sighed inwardly. He never expected their CEO’s position to have fallen so drastically after the divorce. Nathan was nothing compared to before.
It seemed that the past three years had truly changed Emilia and made her give up.
“But why wasn’t Mr. Miller angry about being slapped in front of everyone?” Shawn couldn’t help but wonder. It seemed like in Nathan’s heart, Emilia still held a special place.
If it wasn’t because Nathan cared, why would he be so accommodating?
When he saw Nathan’s lack of reaction, Shawn remained silent and waited patiently for his instructions on the side.
He felt a bit nervous deep down because he had witnessed their CEO being “abused” by his ex–wife, and he knew too much. It was easy to get
into trouble!
When he thought about it, Shawn instinctively shrunk his neck.
Little did he know that Nathan, wrapped in unfamiliar emotions, hadn’t even noticed him.
His eyes darkened, and the burning pain in his cheeks was entirely ignored. He was feeling extremely irritated.

mia Nathan murmured to himself.
No one had ever dared to hit him before, but she, Emilia, had just done
In the past, Emilia had always been the one who only smiled at him, so why had it changed?
On the sidelines, Patrick had witnessed the entire incident and was utterly shocked. He had never imagined that Emilia, who appeared so delicate and beautiful, could be so tough.
She had just slapped the CEO of Miller Group!
It was a stark reminder that people couldn’t be judged solely by their
appearance.
Patrick found himself in an extremely awkward situation. Should he leave? But he didn’t want to miss out on the reward he hadn’t received yet. On the other hand, staying felt equally uncomfortable, as if something wasn’t quite right.
After a while, when he realized no one was paying attention to him, he weakly asked, “Uh… Mr. Miller, Mr. Larson, about the payment, can we…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Nathan instructed Shawn with a stern expression. “Arrange for his payment.”
With that, Nathan walked out of the lounge.
Shawn swiftly handed the card to Patrick and rushed to catch up with Nathan.
Patrick gladly accepted the card and felt like he had made a profit this time, all thanks to Emilia!
With his payment secured, he left with a smile.
Emilia stormed toward the elevator, but it had just gone up, so she had to wait for the next one.
The memory of Nathan’s scornful expression and insulting words from earlier filled her with anger.
Indeed, she couldn’t expect any kind words from a scoundrel like Nathan.
After all, hadn’t he insulted her enough during their three years together?

Today felt like settling the scores for the past, and Emilia hoped to never see him again.
However, it didn’t take long before she noticed the man she least wanted to see appearing behind her.
Emilia felt a bit uneasy.
She averted her gaze and refused to look at him, but she couldn’t help but catch a glimpse of the red mark on his face from the corner of her eye. Her heart trembled slightly.
That slap mark looked really red.
“For someone with Nathan’s pride, how could he not be angry?”
Emilia immediately dismissed this thought. It was impossible for him not to be angry. She feared he might already be plotting how to settle the score for that slap.-
The man standing beside her had a calm expression, and his demeanor was inscrutable as usual.
Emilia remained on guard.
If Nathan dared to do anything again, this time, it wouldn’t be as simple. as a slap!

The elevator doors slowly opened with a chime, and Emilia hurriedly stepped inside. She was about to close the doors when, at that moment, a long arm reached out and blocked her path.
