A Miracle Fault novel Chapter 58

He couldn't let Emmeline continue going on the wrong path. He knew from the start that his cousins didn't get along since they were children and that they fought over the marriage and the Byrne Group last time. He didn't care much, but Emmeline got caught in the mess. Antonio wasn't happy about that.

"Mrs. Stefan!" Emmeline was being pulled away by Antonio and she looked back as someone was calling out to her. They looked back and saw Paul walking towards them with a smile on his face.

"Mrs. Stefan, I saw that you got out of school as I was doing the shopping just now. Let's head home together." He then looked over and noticed Antonio.

"I see that you are classmates with Mr. Antonio. Mr. Antonio, I am Mr. Stefan's butler, Paul."

Antonio felt bewildered hearing Paul addressing Emmeline as Mrs. Stefan, "I thought Stefan's wife was Anayah? Why are you calling Emmeline Mrs. Stefan?"

Paul was taken aback, but he soon smiled and said, "I don't know. I only know that she is our Mrs. Stefan and I am ordered to protect her at all times."

He then bowed politely at Emmeline, "Mrs. Stefan, the car is parked over there. Please get into the car."

Emmeline nodded. She turned around and walked towards the car. She met Antonio's eyes and she felt sorry.

The car had left for a long time but Antonio was still standing there looking in the direction the car drove away.

Emmeline didn't say anything else. She went into her study when they arrived at the mansion and did her revision.

At X City Hospital, Anayah was still in there after being hit on the mouth by the bodyguards last time.

In the past few days, her mouth was finally not swollen anymore.

Lucia brought her some food and noticed that she was in a daze staring out the window, "Anayah, you've not eaten anything for the past few days. Come, have some food."

Anayah turned her head around and looked at the delicious chicken soup that Lucia brought over. But she had no appetite.

"Mom, Stefan had his bodyguards beat me up, I won't let him go so easily."

Anayah's eyes dimmed and they looked vicious. This was all Emmeline's fault and she would make her pay the price.

"Even if you want to take revenge you should do so after you recover. Anayah, eat well and build back your strength first. Don't worry about other stuff right now. I feel sad just by looking at you like this."

Anayah nodded as she saw Lucia getting worried, "Okay, mom. I'll eat."

Anayah was discharged after being hospitalized for a week.

She returned to the Campbell's and stood on the balcony. She took out her phone and dialed a number. She made some detailed orders and smiled ferociously as she looked at the rising sun from the balcony.

Emmeline went to school every day and studied hard. Antonio never returned to school after that day.

Today was the 4th day since Stefan left X City. After school, Emmeline said goodbye to Lena and Agnes and was prepared to go back to Sweedal Residence to do her revision. The final exam was 2 weeks away.

Sweedal Residence was not too far away from the school, it took her around 10 minutes to walk home every time.

As she walked past the intersection, she was halted in tracks by someone. She looked up and noticed that it was Anayah.

She frowned, "What do you want?"

Anayah glared at her, "Emmeline, how can you be so shameless, still going to school at a time like this? Were you delighted that day, making Stefan's bodyguards hit me? Did you know that I was hospitalized for a week? It's all your fault!"

Anayah looked at her sister that she always bullied ever since they were young. She was unhappy that Emmeline was leading a happy life and that Stefan actually hit her for Emmeline's sake. There was hatred in her heart and she couldn't hide it, she wanted to ruin Emmeline's pretty face.

Emmeline looked at her, "You were the one that started hitting me first that day. How could you blame me for that? And I've already told you that we have nothing to do with each other anymore! About Stefan hitting you, I've actually pled him to let you go, but I cannot control his mind. I just hope that you will behave yourself and stop causing trouble!"

Anayah's blood was boiling all over upon hearing what Emmeline said. How dare Emmeline talked to her so arrogantly when she was only her replacement?

She was about to say something but Emmeline walked past her and continued her way home. Emmeline couldn't be bothered to talk to Anayah.

Anayah grabbed her wrist, "Where are you going? I told you the other day that you are to leave Sweedal Residence and Stefan. Didn't you hear me?"

She hated to see how indifferent Emmeline was with her. She wanted to mess her face up.

Emmeline turned around and looked at her, "And I've told you to talk to Stefan about this. I'll leave if he tells me to!"

Anayah knew that there was no way she could go to Stefan. But she could only be the president's wife again only if Emmeline was out of the picture!

"You, when are you going to leave Stefan? You guys aren't husband and wife, why are you still at Sweedal Residence?" asked Anayah as she stared into Emmeline's eyes.

"I don't want to repeat myself, goodbye." Emmeline didn't want to exert herself over this. She just wanted to study and was thinking about her exam which was coming up in a few days.

"I'm telling you, Emmeline. I'm giving you 3 days and you have to figure out a way to leave, otherwise, I will make you lose everything. You will be better off dead!" Anayah had a horrid look on her face.

Emmeline looked at her and said sternly, "You were like this too the last time you made me replace you for the marriage. And now you want me to leave? I've told you, again and again, that I don't owe you anything anymore and I will not listen to you. Even if I were to leave Stefan, do you think he will want you?"

Emmeline understood what type of person Stefan was. Even if she were to leave him, there was no way that he would want to marry Anayah, because his original goal was just to take revenge on Frank by marrying Anayah!

Emmeline's blue eyes were now filled with disdain. She remembered clearly how Anayah made her look like a clown on the day their school celebrated the anniversary of the founding day. Anayah made Emmeline put on cheap rags that she got from some street vendor and everyone in school was laughing at her.

Anayah even introduced her as her servant!

She made Emmeline carry her bag, buy her food, as if she was the princess and Emmeline was just her servant.

She made Emmeline do her dishes after every meal and bullied Emmeline every day in all kind of ways she could think of. In the end, Emmeline managed to enter X City's B University as she had good results. Anayah never studied hard and so she could only go to another college.

Only then Emmeline was free from Anayah's torture. And Anayah still thought that the situation was the same as before, that Emmeline would listen to her. But Emmeline wouldn't anymore as she had Stefan backing her up right now.

Anayah wanted to destroy her the moment she heard Emmeline said that she wouldn't leave Stefan.

Emmeline ignored her and took large strides as she walked away.

The fire in Anayah's eyes was blazing. She looked at the people at the opposite of the road and nodded. She then turned around, got into a car and left.

Emmeline got halted in her tracks again as she was about to arrive at Sweedal Residence. This time, it was two shady looking men. They smiled slimly at her as they blocked her way.
