"You're insane!" Emerie trembled all over, desperately trying to distance herself from any association with Stephen. "Get out of my way, I'm leaving!"
"Mrs. Walton, all these years, did you know that I've always been waiting for you?" Stephen said in a deep voice, "I fell in love with you the moment I saw you. If it weren't for this love, do you think I would have just raised a child for you for nothing?"
Stephen's confession not only failed to move Emerie but made her feel utterly disgusted instead.
"Who wants your love!" Emerie looked at him as if he were a rat in the gutter.
Emerie's attitude immediately extinguished the few remaining flames of love in Stephen's heart.
He used to constantly think about Emerie, but when Sophie took away his family assets, he realized that money is far more important than any kind of love.
Through inquiries with Ophelia, he found out who he was looking for and came up with a good way to make money.
