Chapter 666
“ I’m only warning you this time out of respect for your heath, Mrs. Quill Senior. But if it happens again, don’t blame me for what I’ll do,” Grace said coldly.
Hearing Grace’s threatening tone from inside the room, Emilia trembled with anger. She didn’t care what schemes Grace used on livin or what had happened between them, but there was no way she would let Grace talk to her grandmother like that.
Emilia threw the door open with force, her eyes cold and sharp.
“Ms. Keller, we both know the truth. And if you pretend not to, I have plenty of evidence. A single one would be enough to completely destroy your so–called husband,” she said coldly. “So don’t ever let me see you again, especially not around my grandma.”
If Grace kept going, Emilia would do whatever it took to take them down.
The arrogance on Grace’s face faltered under Emilia’s threat. For a moment, there was a flash of murderous intent in her eyes.
But she reminded herself that she hadn’t come just to provoke Lauren. She had a bigger plan to carry out. She forced herself to hold back and hide her true intentions.
“No matter what evidence you have, we have a child now. If you have any self–respect at all, stop going after my husband,” Grace said arrogantly.
With that, she let out a dismissive scoff and walked away.
Lauren knew Grace was just talking nonsense to provoke her and hurt Emilia. Still, she couldn’t help but get upset hearing her beloved granddaughter being slandered like that, especially when Emilia had done nothing wrong.
She didn’t want Emilia to have anything more to do with Irvin.
“Emi, although Timothy is actually Irvin, the world only sees him as Timothy,” Lauren said gently. “And now he has a child with that woman. You really shouldn’t be involved with him anymore.
“Even if he’s the one clinging to you, it needs to stop. Please listen to me. Find someone else. Even if you have to pretend, just find someone, alright?
“If you really don’t want to be with Noah, anyone else will do. I’m really worried for you. I can’t sleep every time I think about it.”
Lauren had always been a wise woman, but she still couldn’t help worrying about the granddaughter she cared about most. She couldn’t bear to see Emilia hurt.
Emilia had done nothing wrong. No one should have the right to speak badly abo
her.
Lauren couldn’t help but worry that Emilia, who had once loved Irvin so deeply, might never be able to move on, even now that he had a child with someone else.
She knew she was overthinking it. Emilia wasn’t the kind of person who would go back to someone, even in a situation like this.
But not going back and truly moving on were two different things. She only hoped Emilia could truly leave the past behind and start a new in life.
“If I could get proper rest, I would have been discharged already,” she muttered.
She knew how much Emilia cared for her and never wanted to use that to force her into anything. But now, she felt

like she had no choice.
Looking at Lauren’s weary and worried face, Emilia recalled what the doctor had told her before, and her expression darkened.
When she returned home, Brody reported that more unfamiliar faces had been spotted around her mentor Peter’s neighbourhood lately.
Emilia’s expression turned even colder.
