Chapter 9
Thomas drove the car and rolled down the window.
“Darling, we should go now!”
Emma waved at me and said, “Laura, think about it carefully. If you figure it out, feel free to call me
anytime.”
Thomas gave me a cold glance and left with Emma, their voices fading away as they spoke.
“Baby, what did you say to that woman?”
“It’s nothing, just to make her give up. You wouldn’t marry her, because the person you love is
me.”
“Hehe, baby, the person I loved was, of course, you, and only you.”
I curled up the corners of my mouth, with a mocking expression on my face.
What a loving couple they were!
I just don’t know if, on the day Thomas found out about Emma’s true character, they would still be as loving as before.
I was very
excited!
In the following days, I was busy with my work at the company while also keeping an eye on
Thomas and his family.
Due to the significant funding gap in Thomas‘ company, many projects could not be carried out and the requirements of the partners could not be met on time, leading to a crisis of having to pay a huge amount of penalty for breach of contract.
Thomas’s parents ran around borrowing money for this, but there was a funding gap in one company, and the amount was not small, so no one dared to lend.
Thomas used to frequently go to the bank, and at first I thought he was going to borrow money to help the company through the crisis. Later, I found out that he was borrowing money to indulge
Emma.
Relying on the baby in her belly, Emma was like a bottomless pit, constantly asking Thomas for money, luxury goods, designer handbags, jewelry, buying one pile after another.
In order to satisfy her, Thomas borrowed a lot of money and even transferred a significant amount of the company’s limited liquid assets. In the end, he had no choice but to take a loan from the bank, just barely meeting Emma’s demands.
I didn’t think Emma was a fool. She definitely noticed that there were problems with Thomas‘

just barely meeting Emma’s demands.
I didn’t think Emma was a fool. She definitely noticed that there were problems with Thomas‘ family company, which is why she kept asking for money time and time again, in order to make a final profit and leave for good.
But what I didn’t expect was that Thomas would once again turn his attention towards me,
He came to the office to find me, with a cold face and a stern tone, saying, “I was wrong about the wedding. I apologize to you. We will hold the wedding again, just the two of us,”
I really didn’t expect that Thomas not only came to my door, but also boldly said that he wanted to continue to marry me.
Would he think that I still loved him?
I laughed and said, “What about Emma? And what about the baby in her belly? How do you plan to deal with that?”
Seeing that I didn’t directly refuse, a hint of joy flashed in Thomas’s eyes, and he quickly said.
“The child was born and raised in another place, never appearing in front of you. Emma directly told her to
aaaaxt lost, and I have also spent a consiamount of
money on her. She shresti
satisfied now.”
“But didn’t you say you loved her the most and only loved her?”
I asked, pretending to be confused.
“I was deceiving her all along, the person I truly love is you.‘
Thomas looked at me affectionately.

“Laura, we grew up together since we were young, and I am well aware of your feelings for me. And deep down, I have always loved you too. However, as the CEO of a company, I face numerous temptations, and sometimes I find it difficult to control myself.”
“But after we got married, everything was fine. Our two companies could merge into one, with you in charge of me. I would definitely no longer flirt with others, and wholeheartedly love only you.”
Speaking of this, Thomas knelt down on one knee towards me and said affectionately, “Laura, marry me, and I will treat you well for the rest of my life.”
Ugh!

How come I didn’t notice before that this person was so shameless and so shameless?
