Fiancé Uncle 278 Fiancé Uncle 278 Chapter 278 "Do I need you to just give it your all?" Sarah, with her cunning mind, didn't slap Emmalie in the face. Instead, she reached under the covers and pinched the soft flesh of her thigh hard.
Sarah warned. "Winnie, I told you before how Ivy snatched your father fromand even forced us into a corner. You should hate her, and you must hate her. But looking at you two it seems like you're getting along like her real daughter." Emmalie shook her head vigorously, nearly breaking it off. She had witnessed Sarah's craziness far too many times while growing up. This lunatic, when pushed to the edge, would surely tear apart the smooth path she had worked so hard to pave. Sarah often said, "In the worst-case scenario, we'll just die together." But Emmalie couldn't bear to lose everything she had painstakingly gained, shaking her head like a bobblehead. "Mom, I only recognize you in this life. My relationship with Ivy is just a means to an end." Her repeated assurances made Sarah chuckle. "I don't listen to your words. I watch your actions.

"How are these caregivers taking care of you? Your clothes are stained with soup, and you don't even think to clean up?" Ivy was fuming, ready to storm out and cause trouble.
Emmalie had to rush to stop her. "Mom, it's fine. They're just earning a meager living. If we make things easier for them, their lives will be a bit more comfortable. I can change my clothes myself." Ivy sighed repeatedly. "If only Thea had half of your kindness and understanding, I'd feel much more at ease."

"Mom, I want to work at Rowland Group... Can you helptalk to Max about it?" Ivy paused mid-stroke of her hair. "That's nonsense. Emmalie, your main focus should be on the piano.

If a woman doesn't have assets, she has no say in her husband's family in the future. Isn't that why Ms. Langstaff can constantly hold her head high in front of Duncan?" This wasn't something Emmalie would typically say. It sounded too pragmatic. She was genuinely desperate, even risking Ivy's suspicion.
Fortunately, she had left a good impression on Ivy before. Even so, Ivy didn't doubt Emmalie's intentions.

Your retirement planning isn't my responsibility, especially since I'm completely cut off from the family. But of course, I won't be shortchanging you on the monthly support payments." That was a matter of legal obligation.
Although Thea spoke harshly, she ultimately couldn't completely disregard Ivy. Her soft heart had always been her greatest weakness. Arriving at the hospital, Thea was quickly surrounded by people.
