Chapter II The Third Wheel
Finished
Emery let go of her trouser leg, a smirk playing at the corners of her mouth. She gritted her teeth and retorted, “Is it the care that leaves me covered in bruises, or the kind that breaks my leg! I can’t handle the kind of care you lot provide!”
“Get lost!”
With a loud thud, the door was forcefully shut.
Howard was outside, pounding on the door. “Emery, there must be some misunderstanding! Listen to me!”
Upon returning to her room, Emery slipped on her headphones, immersing herself once again in her writing. What fiance That’s complete nouense!
Writing was her true source of joy.
Howard was left outside the door, and he was still in a state of shock.
Howard had never before seen a girl with so many scars. They were densely scattered about, marring her appearance. Why does she have those scarst as she hitt Was her leg broken? Wasn’t there an agreement to take good care of her? How could this be possible?
“Howard, what are you doing standing in front of Emery’s door?”
Winona, adorned in a beautiful dress and wearing meticulously applied makeup, made her way over.
Howard wore an embarrassed expression. “It’s nothing. I just wanted to ask her if she’d like to go shopping together!”
With her arm linked with Howard’s, Winona softly said, “Emery won’t come! She’s still upset with us! It’s all my fault that I couldn’t make her happy!”
Upon noticing the reddening rims of her eyes, Howard gently patted her hand, saying, “Winona, it’s not your fault. Don’t blame yourself!”
At that moment, the door was abruptly flung open.
Emery poked her head out. “Who said I’m not going? Shopping, huh? Sure! Let’s go together. Just wait for me to put on some makeup and change my clothes!”
After saying that, she closed the door with a resounding thud, leaving the two individuals exchanging silent glances.
“Winona tightened her fists slightly. Who even wants Emery around? Now, we have to wait for her to tag along and play the third
wheel
Winona was livid.
The expression on Howard’s face didn’t change much when he said, “Winona, Ill go downstairs and wait for her!”
After closing the door, Emery continued with her writing. The keyboard clattered with her rapid keystrokes.
Her two–year stint in prison had provided her with a wealth of inspiration and a myriad of unique experiences.
Hence, her writing flowed even more smoothly.
Only after completing four thousand characters did Emery rise to change her clothes. She applied a simple touch of makeup. before descending from her room.
Upon seeing her descend, Howard immediately rose to his feet. “Winona, let’s go!”
20 PM
Chapter 11 The Third Wheel
Emery paused in her tracks. “Oh? Don’t you want me to go, Winona? Well, I won’t bother you guys anymore, then!”
Winona was almost out of breath. Why didn’t she say so earlier? We waited for her for an hour!
Finished
Winona suppressed her rising anger, saying, “Emery, That’s not it. I really wish you could come shopping with us. Staying at home all day can drive you stir–crazy!”
A smile spread across Emery’s face. “All right, then! I suppose I can reluctantly accompany the two of you for a stroll!”
You… Winona was on the verge of breaking down. She turned around and walked away. If I don’t leave soon, I’m afraid I might not be able to contain my true feelings! I’m genuinely afraid that I might march up there and slap Emery twice! However, now is not the right time. Sooner or later, Emery, you will fall into my hands!
Howard, Emery is still upset. She probably wouldn’t want to ride in your car. How about letting her drive mine instead?”
Howard gently patted Winona’s head, saying, “Winona, you’re always the most considerate!”
Emery was almost laughing at the back. This pretentious woman of the Langford family truly lives up to her name!
Emery’s smile was utterly innocent when she said, “No need to go through all that trouble. It’s been a while since I’ve driven. I’d just ride in Howard’s car!”
Winona was livid, her face ashen. Why is Emery not playing by the book today? In the past, she would get upset at the slightest provocation, turning to drive on her own! Why does everything seem to be going against the grain today! This person doesn’t seem quite right today.
Emery opened the car door and hopped in
Emery’s mood was quite good because she could annoy Winona and Howard. Not only is it necessary to make Winona feel uncomfortable, but it’s also essential to make these two bleed
Visibly annoyed, Winona settled herself into the passenger seat. With a press on the accelerator, Howard drove the car toward the city area
In less than twenty minutes, the group had arrived at Silver Crest Plaza.
They then hopped on the elevator, heading straight for the fifth hoor.
Winona had her ann looped through Howard’s the entire time. Howard tried to pull away a few times, but she held on tightly each time.
Winona was determined to make Emery feel miserable. Ion’t he your fiancer Hill, he’s now by my side!
“Emery, when you didn’t answer your phone yesterday, everyone at home was worried sick! No matter what, you can’t just not come home at night. There are all sorts of people out there. What if something had happened?” Winona wore an expression of worry.
With a playful arch of her brow, Emery retorted, “Oh! Were you worried about me? However, my phone is from two years ago, and it doesn’t work well. It’s not that I didn’t want to contact you all. It’s really because my phone is broken! I just got out. and I don’t have any money on me.
#har Winona was taken aback
All she wanted was to tell Howard that Emery wasn’t the good girl who stayed home at night. However, she ended up having to buy Emery a new phone.
Pd Winona wanted to swear out loud.
However, in front of Howard, she had to act out the deep bond between the sisters,

Upon closer examination. Emery noticed an unfamiliar brand with a price tag of three thousand. “Winona, I don’t use these things much. Something too flashy wouldn’t suit me. I just need something more understated!”
A smile played at the corners of Winona’s lips. At least you know your place!
At that moment, Emery had the saleslady bring out a white phone. “Winona, let’s go with this one! Its design is simple and unassuming Miss, we’ll take it! Also, install my SIM card into the phonel”
Winona tossed her card to the saleslady. Emery, you’re only worthy of a phone that costs around a thousand or eight hundred…
The card has been charged twenty–nine thousand nine hundred ninety–nine.”
“What? Twenty–nine thousand nine hundred ninety–nine?” Winona asked aloud.
The saleswoman gave Winona a dismissive look. Why is this woman making such a fuss? Can she not afford it?
Immediately. Emery looked at Winona with a face full of sorrow, “If you think it’s too expensive, Winona, then forget it! I’ll just use my broken one!”
Realizing her lapse, Winona quickly tried to clarify, “Emery, don’t get me wrong. I was just surprised at how cheap this phone is” I truly didn’t expect it!”
Emery was over the moon with her new phone, yet suddenly she blurted out, “What a shame… I don’t even have money for a screen protector! This is a great phone, and I’m wasting it….
Upon hearing those words. Howard quickly said, “Emery, there’s money in this card of mine. Use it!”
Upon hearing that, Winona quickly took the card from Howard’s hand. “Howard, how could she use your card? I have mine here. Let me give mine to Emery!”
Gritting her teeth. Winona pulled out a card with a balance of three hundred thousand from her bag. Her heart ached so much, but she had forgotten to bring a card with a smaller balance that day. There’s no way I’m letting Emery use Howard’s card. Aichough Howard is generous. I can’t allow her to take advantage of that!
“Emery, this card has a balance of three hundred thousand on it. Use it for now!”
With a face full of gratitude, Emery swiftly took the card. “Thankyou so much, Winona!”
Winona felt utterly frustrated. If she had known things would turn out this way, she definitely wouldn’t have let Emery tag
alone
