A Miracle Fault

Chapter 35 You Wanna Live Apart from Me?

While everyone was looking at them with great surprise, Edison pushed Stefan into the elevator, "Chand!"

"Here I am, sir!"

Chand, who was wearing a black suit, walked over with a smile.

"From now on, you work for Stefan as his assistant. And tell him something about the group!"

"Yes, sir!" Chand answered and then smiled at Stefan, "Master Stefan, my name is Chand Well. Just call me Chand."

Stefan nodded. The three of them walked into the elevator and went upstairs.

While the other guests were all standing still, looking stunned.

As Stefan announced that he would be back to work for the Byrne Group, Edison was really thrilled. He even made his own assistant Stefan's. Undoubtedly, Edison not only cared much about Stefan, but also had high expectation for him.

When seeing that, Frank clenched his fists hard. His eyes turned to be bloodshot, 'Fine! Grandpa, not only did you allow him to be back, but also gave away your assistant!'

Obviously, Edison preferred Stefan to Frank.

Frank let out a sneer. He would like to see how his crippled brother was going to fight against him in the group! Even if he managed to work hard, Frank would still conspire to force him out.

While the others were looking at Frank with confusion, he just nodded, "Guys, enjoy yourself! I need to deal with some other business."

As he reached the yard outside, he raised his eyes to stare at the study, looking vicious.

Under the grape trellis outside the villa, both Emmeline and Nicholas were standing there. Nicholas looked around and then hurried to her side and grabbed her shoulders, "Emmeline, are you okay? I am so sorry! Are you good living on the island? Did Stefan force you?"

Emmeline raised her head and looked at him. Her eyes were blurred with tears, "Dad, I am fine. But they all know the truth that I am not Anayah! Dad, please don't lie to Grandpa Edison! Tell him the truth!"

"What? They all know the truth? Did they retaliate against you?" Nicholas looked at her with his eyes wide opened.

Emmeline nodded, "Dad, I know I was wrong to marry Stefan as the substitute of Anayah. They have the right to punish me. After all, I am the fake one. Dad, I just hope that you can confess in front of Grandpa Edison. Perhaps he would forgive us then as Anayah would still marry Frank sooner or later."

"Emmeline, you are right. I will talk to Mr. Edison. After Anayah marries Frank, we will still be united like a family. But Emmeline, sorry to you make you suffer!" Nicholas said with great guilt.

Emmeline shook her head, "Dad, I am good. I could feel that Stefan is a good man. Though he is a bit weird, he is a man with kind nature. When he knew the truth, he didn't punish me. Instead, he helped to protect me and kept it a secret for me. I will take care of him till he stands up again."

Nicholas looked into her firm eyes. He seemed to feel that his little daughter grew up.

"Okay, Emmeline, I will go to confess in front of Mr. Edison. After all, it's our fault. No matter what kind of request they will mention, we will accept it."

After saying that, Nicholas turned around and entered the mansion. While Ciara, who hid herself beside to eavesdrop, smiled mockingly, 'Nicholas Campbell! What a plan! If it weren't for the fact that Frank loved Anayah, we would have uprooted your family!'

When Nicholas was about to knocked the door of the study, the voice of Edison sounded, "Stefan, if you are willing to work for the group, I will get everything prepared! Besides, I will announce in the board meeting next month to all that you will be the next president!"

When hearing that, Nicholas was stunned, 'He wants to make Stefan the next president?'

"Grandpa, I have just come back. I don't want to be the president so soon! Besides, Frank should take the position."

"Don't talk about him! I know what he was thinking!" Edison roared.

Nicholas immediately stepped back to go downstairs.

He knew that it would only made things worse if he chose to confess now.

When the night fell, Stefan left the Byrne Mansion with Emmeline.

When he left, Edison said to him, "Stefan, even if you want to protect the girl, I won't agree on your marriage! I need Nicholas to pay the price this time!"

Stefan frowned, "Grandpa, just let me deal with it! Leave it alone, okay? I know what to do. Just take care of yourself. Don't get yourself worried."

As Stefan was the only grandson Edison cared about the most, he would do whatever he asked for. Though Edison was still mad, he decided to put it down first as Stefan promised to be back to work for the group again.

He believed his grandson. Since he asked for dealing with it on his own, he would just let him do as he wished. Edison then looked at Emmeline, who remained to be cautious. He still kept silent.

When Stefan and Emmeline reached the villa on the island, it was 9:00 PM. Emmeline sent him back into the bedroom and then she was about to go back to hers and took a bath then.

"Where are you going?" as she just reached out of the door, Stefan stopped her.

"Just take a bath and go to bed. Time to sleep. I know you are tired as well."

Emmeline looked at him, who was sitting on the wheelchair beside the bed with his back on her. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"Are you going to sleep in different room?" Stefan deemed that they should bath and sleep together since yesterday on.

However, he didn't expect that Emmeline still chose to sleep in different room tonight.

Emmeline hurried to walk over, "Thank you for what you have done in the Byrne Mansion. Now since we are back here, I'd better sleep in my own room."

"Are you sure you don't sleep together with me?" Stefan turned around and stared at her.

Emmeline was a bit stunned. It suddenly reminded her of the fact that he actually violated her that night. And she didn't even settle scores with him yet.

She glared at him, "Stefan, though you helped to bail me out in front of your grandpa, what you did that night really made me suffer! I won't forgive you! Why did you do that to me?"

Her eyes were blurred with tears. He didn't even confess to be the culprit until last night.

Stefan went over to her side and reached out his hand to grab her arm. However, Emmeline took a step back immediately.

Stefan frowned, "Come over here!" He wouldn't explain to her unless she sat on his legs.

"No!"

Emmeline turned around, crying.

"You have only three seconds left! Come over to my side! I will explain!" Stefan looked at her, who was about to leave again.

However, Emmeline still chose to step out of the room.

"If you want your dad to be eliminated, I can leave now!" his deep voice sounded cold. Then Stefan went back into his room.

When hearing that, Emmeline froze on spot.

She turned around and clenched her fists hard. She knew that he would still threaten her at the cost of her dad.

She closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, Stefan had already entered the bathroom.

She gritted and followed inside. She grabbed to stop him, who was about to strip himself off, "You can do nothing but to threaten me and be mad at me? You jerk!"

She wanted to cry out. However, she tried hard to hold back her tears that had welled up in her eyes.
