Chapter 72
“Mr. Noah Miller, it’s all over between me and him!”
No one expected that Emilia would reject the idea more blatantly than Nathan did. “Mr. Noah Miller, I married into the Miller family for three years without any hope and became a housewife for all three years. I wasted three years of my lifetime. Now that I’ve found my goal and got back on track, I don’t want to force myself nor do I wish to repeat the same mistake!”
Emilia stood her ground firmly, her eyes shining with resolution. Nathan, in turn, froze for a couple of seconds.
It was the first time that Emilia had spoken with such determination in front of him. Somehow, Nathan felt somewhat uncomfortable.
He frowned and voiced, “Emilia, do you think…”
Noah did not give Nathan a chance to say his piece. In his book, he would rather have that grandson of his keep mum than annoy him with his choice of words.
Heaving a sigh, he interrupted Nathan, “Forget it. Fate plays its trick on this brat. However, I heard that you became the director of Saunders Group. I’ve been meaning to ask you–are you and Norman from Tordena Group…”
Just as Emilia was about to answer, Wayne walked in..
“Greetings, Mrs. Fiona Miller and Ms. Caroline Miller are home.”
Wayne still stubbornly respected Emilia as if she was still one of the Miller family, and that pushed Fiona’s button.
“What are you doing? Who are you talking to?”
Fiona rushed inside. She had been a nervous wreck when Noah summoned her and Caroline to the Miller mansion.
Nevertheless, after hearing Wayne’s words, Fiona was instantly triggered akin to an ignited explosive barrel.
“I’d like to see who’s the other wretch having wishful thinking to be the daughter–in–law of the Miller family!”
“Stop shouting, Mom, or Grandpa will lose his temper later…” Caroline followed behind, only to have her own visage changed the second Emilia came into sight. “Emilia! Why are you here?”

“What’s the fuss now?” chided Nathan coldly. He was already upset. because of Emilia’s speech. Fiona’s and Caroline’s loud voices only irritated him further.
He pulled Emilia behind him and swept a frosty glance at Caroline. “Look at you, Caroline. Is this how a distinguished lady from a prominent family ought to behave?”
“Nathan! How could you condemn your sister like that on behalf of an outsider?” Fiona got anxious.
No matter how humiliated Jessica made Fiona feel, the latter still looked down on Emilia.
Seeing that Nathan was teaching Caroline a lesson because of Emilia, Fiona immediately became unhappy. She raised her eyebrows and crossed her arms, all ready to put up a fight.
“Stop it!” Noah leaped up from his seat and hurled a chilly glance at Fiona. “Look at you. You’ve been hanging out with that woman from the Bennett family all day long only to bring shame to the Miller family. Yet, here you are, with the cheek to be noisy!”
As soon as Noah spoke, Fiona cowered in fear, losing all courage to utter yet another word.
Caroline was already frightened by Nathan’s cold eyes, to begin with, but when she saw that the men had all taken Emilia’s side, she turned livid. Scratching her neck, she retorted in a displeased tone, “Grandpa, it’s not all Mom’s fault. Among the people who created problems for us today and embarrassed our family, which one of them had nothing to do with Emilia, if I may ask? She’s entangled with so many men. Compared with Jessica, she’s not as clean as you think and is also no better! Emilia should be blamed for putting our family name to shame!”
Caroline stamped her feet and stuck her hands on her waist.
She looked exasperated from the inside out.
If Nathan had not stood in front of Emilia, Caroline would have charged. right at Emilia and disfigured her. She could never stand the sight of a wanton, pretentious woman, or so she thought.
“Caroline!”
Nathan narrowed his sharp eyes to slits and uttered in a colder tone, “A mistake is a mistake. Admit it when you misjudge the wrong person. Instead of repenting, you even spout baseless speculation on a whim. Who taught you that?”

He wondered when his only sister became so unreasonable.
To say that Nathan looked grim would be an understatement.
Emilia looked up, watching Nathan’s back and how the man protected her in front.
Nathan had a slender, towering figure. The many years of his persisting in working out had allowed him to exude an aura of strength by standing. there alone and back–facing her.
Truth be told, Nathan had never defended her like that.
That episode was the first.
Emilia could not help but secretly smile bitterly. The fact that they were already divorced and decided not to cross paths anymore/got her into thinking, “What’s the point of feeling emotional about all this?”
“Ms. Miller, I think you’re wrong.”
Emilia pushed Nathan away and stepped forward. “The video of Jessica selling off her own body and soul, alongside her dirty history has never been investigated, but it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist. If the wedding isn’t called off today, leading to her past being leveraged by someone else with bad intentions, I’m afraid the Miller family will suffer a greater humiliation! Besides, if I really wanted to target the Miller family, what happened today wouldn’t be this simple. Just so you know, I’m more capable than this!”
When she put forward her statements, she still had Noah’s coffee cup in her hands. Her tone of voice was serene, and her clear gaze was ice–cold. Fiona had always thought that Emilia was a country bumpkin./ That sentiment changed, and Fiona was baffled the minute she clapped.
eyes on Emilia’s bearing that very day.
The powerful vibe surrounding Emilia made it seem as though Fiona was looking at Nathan himself.
“How’s this possible?” she mused.
