Chapter 78
Chapter 78 Abortion
Emily used to do household chores frequently, so she was quick at these tasks.
"All right," Emily wiped the sweat from her forehead, "it's about time. Hurry up and get on stage. If you're late, the boss will be furious."
Thinking of Jackson's explosive temperament, the models hurried to the exhibition hall to make their final preparations.
After they had all left, Emily cleaned the mop and washed the floor again, quietly waiting for it to dry.
At exactly ten o'clock, the auto show officially began.
The host passionately introduced today's featured car models, his voice booming.
Emily leaned against the side and listened quietly, marveling at the professionalism of the host.
Lost in thought, she suddenly heard the footsteps of leather shoes at the door.
Who would come backstage at this time? Jackson?
Emily furrowed her brow, mustering all her energy to deal with Jackson would not be easy.
But when the person appeared at the door, Emily's impatience turned to fear. "Why are you here?"
"Why can't I be here? I came to see the cars, is that not allowed?" Nathan walked in, his eyes scanning the backstage makeup room, "Surprised to see me, Emily? Who did you think it was? Jackson?" Emily held the mop defensively in front of her, "Do you have business with me?"
"Why can't I see you unless I have business?" Nathan approached step by step, "Emily, let me remind you again. We're still married. You can't be with Jackson, or any other man." Emily's face turned cold, "I have nothing to do with Jackson."
"What about the masked man?" Nathan's words made Emily tremble, staring at him in disbelief.
Nathan chuckled, "Emily, why are you so nervous? Did I hit the nail on the head? The masked man is your lover, isn't he? Oh, I pity Jackson. He's nothing, really."
Taking a deep breath, Emily closed her eyes, "Nathan, what's the point of you coming to harass me? Shouldn't you be more concerned about Sophia? Can't we divorce peacefully?" "Divorce? No. Emily, I didn't mention divorce. We're bound together for life. Whether it's Jackson or the masked man, neither of you will be together."
Emily avoided Nathan's attempt to grab her hand, moving to the other side of the makeup table, facing him across it, "Why are you doing this? Aren't you going to make Sophia your wife?" "What are you still thinking about for her? She stole your husband, took your place as Mrs. Reed. Be obedient, come back to me. You don't need to work so hard."
Emily shook her head firmly, "I like my job. Mrs. Reed's position means nothing to me anymore. Whoever wants it can have it. Nathan, let me remind you, there are surveillance cameras here. You'd better not cause trouble."
Nathan found it amusing, "I do want to sleep with you, but that doesn't mean I've lost my mind completely, I came here today to give you one last piece of advice, Emily. Come back. I won't marry Sophia. If you don't like her child, I can make it disappear. No Sophia, no child, I promise to move out. What reason do you have not to come back to me?"
"Do you realize how unreasonable you are? Our marriage is over, and it's irrelevant to anyone else. It's just that we're not suitable for each other. No shouldn't be your wife. Sophia is your best choice. Besides, Sophia's mother has returned ed, and she will probably visit your home soon. Everyone knows about your affairs. Let me remind you, Sophia's mother and her stepfather are quite influential. If you want to abandon Sophia, it might not be so easy."
Nathan waved it off, "Influential? I'm influential in New York City too. Who can force me to get married? As long as I don't want to, no one has that power."
"Let's not talk about this now. Wait until you meet her mother and stepfather."
Nathan grabbed Emily's wrist and pulled her towards him, "Emily, come with me to the hospital."
"What are you doing? Let go of me!" Emily struggled desperately, "If you don't release me, I'll scream for help!"
"Go ahead, scream. It'll give Jackson a chance to see us."
Emily, frustrated, kicked him, "You're out of your mind!"
"Come with me to the hospital to have your child aborted! Emily, abort the child, then have one for me!"
"You're dreaming!"
Nathan lifted her directly, striding out.
Bang!
The backstage makeup room door was kicked open.
Jackson stood angrily at the door, sneering, "You show up here without even saying hello to me? You are only welcomed to admire my cars, and don't make trouble for my staff." Emily gritted her teeth and struggled, but Nathan held her firmly, simply throwing her over his shoulder.
Her belly pressed against his firm shoulder, causing Emily to gasp in shock.
She was still pregnant...
Nathan didn't back down, confronting Jackson directly, "Jackson, Emily is your employee, but she's my wife. I'm taking her on leave now, I'm taking her to the hospital." "To the hospital? Is she not feeling well?"
"Of course not," Nathan chuckled coldly, "Don't you know? Emily is pregnant with an illegitimate child. I'm taking her to get an abortion."
