Chapter 4

When Susanna heard that Emma wanted to focus on her career, her eyes brightened withexcitement. “Our company is offering an opportunity to study scriptwriting abroad, so just let meknow if you want to focus on this line of work. I can help you ask President Zurich about it.” Emmaused to be a drama and film major back in university. Even though Emma had adapted to her role asa full-time housewife immediately after her graduation, Susanna could not bear to watch Emma'stalents being buried just like that. So, she offered Emma the chance to work as a part-timescriptwriter. No one, including Trevor, knew about this matter. The public was not aware of Emma'sinvolvement since she used a pseudonym—Winter. “Are you serious?” Emma was shocked to hearwhat her good friend had suggested. “Of course.”

Susanna's tone was firm. “President Zurich has always admired your talent. Even though you're justa part-time scriptwriter, President Zurich would definitely be willing to sponsor you for personaldevelopment courses as long as you're willing to officially join our company as a full-timescriptwriter.” Susanna was working in Alpha Productions, which was a company started up by theretired superstar, Wesley Zurich and his good friend. Their company had the most famousscreenwriting, production and celebrity teams under them. All the dramas and movies they releasedin the past few years were huge hits in the market. “Sure. I'll sign it." Hesitation did not linger onEmma one bit. Getting a divorce and leaving the country sounded like her best way forward at thatmoment. Once she was out of the country, she would no longer have to face anything thathappened in Jonestown. Well, at least her heart would no longer ache constantly. Trevor wasinterstate for about three days this time while Emma waited patiently for his return. During one ofthose days, Susanna brought Emma over to sign an agreement with Alpha Productions.

After that, Emma paid a visit to the Bateson Residence as she figured that Christopher should have aheads-up about the divorce. After all, he was the only person in the family who sincerely caredabout her. About half an hour later, a teary-eyed Emma walked out of Christopher's study andcoincidentally bumped into Trevor, who had just returned from his trip. He was dressed in a graysuit, which accentuated his slender limbs with a cold but elegant aura around him. The tensemuscles around his eyebrows held the maturity of a thirty-year-old man while the look in his eyesclearly radiated the quality of a person with influence and power. At that moment, she realized howshe had once fallen for this attractive outer shell—exclusive to the public—before turning her gazeaway. As usual, Trevor's eyes only lingered on her face for about a second before turning elsewhere.“I'm sorry I'm late, Grandpa,” he said to Christopher.

Christopher had asked to meet Trevor for some family matters, but he did not expect Emma to askfor a meetup until moments before this. More so, he did not expect the news of their divorce. Theold man could not bring himself to wear a smile when he thought of how insistent Emma was aboutthe divorce. “You shouldn't be apologizing to me,” the old man grumbled. Then, he waved his armand stormed off while leaving Trevor and Emma behind. Trevor frowned and gazed at her as if shedid something wrong. He looks so annoyed with me. He probably thinks I talked bad about him infront of Old Mr. Christopher again, she thought. So, she tugged her lips into a smirk as she met hisgaze. “Don't worry. Whatever your grandfather and I talked about was all for your own good.” Withthat, Emma turned and left after finishing her sentence. Earlier, she had told Christopher that shewanted a divorce and that Christopher should support Trevor's relationship with his love interest.Clearly, she did not want to hold him back by staying in the loveless marriage.

I'm doing all this for his well-being, right? Trevor's face darkened when he heard her tone; he couldtell that there was some spite in her voice and expression. Throughout the three years that they hadbeen together, she had always been a gentle, polite and kind figure. It was, therefore,understandable for him to feel particularly annoyed when she spoke in such a sharp and offensivetone. He pulled on his tie to loosen it before he swallowed his rage and walked out to look for hisgrandpa. About ten minutes later, Christopher found Emma in the kitchen and he stopped her witha grim look on his face.
