This is just adding fuel to the fire! Scarlett was about to go crazy and run out to find Thomas, but Isabella quickly grabbed her and shouted anxiously, "Mom, calm down! The person who posted this video obviously has bad intentions.
They might just want to see us fight among ourselves!"
Everyone understands the logic, but only when the needle is stuck in their own body do they feel the pain! Scarlett was shaking with anger.
She had been married to Thomas for so many years and had suffered a lot before. Fortunately, this man was still honest and focused on her, and had not done anything outrageous.
But now that he had just made a fortune, he was eager to find a woman! Who could remain calm and composed in this situation?
"You let go, I must beat this dog of a man to death today!" Scarlett said, rolling up her sleeves and preparing to rush out.
Isabella directly blocked the door and stomped her feet anxiously, "Mom, think with your brain. What good will it do for our family if things get out of hand? Won't it just play into someone else's hands?"
Scarlett didn't listen at all.
Isabella could only coax her again, "Dad is just temporarily misguided. Isn't it easy to make him change his mind? Why don't you find a way to secretly take the money from him?"
As the saying goes, when a man has money, he becomes bad. If he doesn't have money, can Thomas still spend recklessly outside?
Obviously not.
When Scarlett heard this, she also felt it made sense. If Thomas refused to give her the money, it didn't matter. She could secretly transfer the money away by other means.
After finding a direction, Scarlett's anger subsided. When they went to bed that night, Scarlett tentatively asked, "Where did you put the money?
We can't let Big Brother suspect anything during this time, or else it won't be good."
"I know, I know," Thomas impatiently replied before rolling over to sleep. No matter how much Scarlett tried to ask him, he remained silent. Fortunately, Isabella's comforting words had an effect, so Scarlett managed to hold back this time.
It wasn't until the middle of the night, when Thomas's snoring was as loud as thunder, that Scarlett quietly got out of bed and started rummaging through Thomas's wallet. She searched for a long time, but found that no matter which account she looked at, the balance was only a few hundred or a few thousand. Where was the sixty million?
It was at this moment that Scarlett truly felt panicked. She could tolerate her man cheating on her and being cold to her, but if he gave all their money to another woman, she wouldn't let it go With that thought, Scarlett shook the sleeping Thomas awake and started hitting him while asking, "Where's the money? Did you give it all to those little bitches outside? Thomas, I've followed you for so many years, and this is how you treat me?"
Suddenly being woken up from a deep sleep and slapped several times in the face, Thomas became angry and slapped Scarlett back. "How dare you hit me?" he shouted.
Scarlett was stunned, but her anger quickly rose, and she pounced on him.
The sound of fighting erupted, crackling and popping.
The couple had started fighting.
.....
The next morning, when Emma went downstairs for breakfast, the maid told her about what had happened the night before. Apparently, Thomas and his wife had some sort of disagreement and ended up having a brutal fight in the middle of the night.
They pulled each other's hair, gave each other black eyes and swollen faces, and refused to let go of each other, as if they were mortal enemies!
In the end, it was Isabella who managed to calm them down after a long time of trying.
Luckily, Benjamin was busy at work and didn't come home, and Amelia was sound asleep, so they weren't affected by the family's brawl.
Emma wasn't surprised at all when she heard this. Instead, she greeted Thomas with a smile as he came out of his room.
"Good morning, Second Uncle."
"Morning..."
Thomas didn't feel like having breakfast, but since Emma had greeted him, he awkwardly made his way over.
At first, he didn't think much of what the maid had described, but now that he saw the scratches and marks on Thomas's face, it was truly shocking and unbearable to look at.
It was also... satisfying.
Emma tried her best not to burst out laughing.
"From the looks of it, Second Uncle, are you heading out?" She took a sip of her hot milk and casually asked, "I saw a bag I liked a few days ago but didn't buy it. If you're going out, could you please get it for me?"
Without waiting for Thomas to refuse, Emma handed over a card and said, "I'll pay, please second Uncle." In the past, Thomas would have definitely refused.
After all, he was an elder, and this girl was treating him like a servant. But this time, he agreed.
Because Emma was always generous, there must be a lot of money in this card... After Thomas agreed, Scarlett came out of the room. The couple met like enemies, and the smell of gunpowder was in the air. Thomas was not in the mood and left the Miller Family after eating only a few bites. Scarlett didn't give up and chased after him with bruises all over her body.
Emma calmly ate her breakfast without being affected. Suddenly, Isabella's questioning voice came from behind, "Did you do it?"
Although it was a question, it was said in a positive tone. Emma looked puzzled and cursed, "What did I do? Are you crazy to come and pick a fight so early in the morning?" Isabella stared at Emma's face for a long time but couldn't find any clues.
That could only mean... the video had nothing to do with Emma, and Emma didn't know about the money that was swallowed. Otherwise, with her personality, she would have already started a fight and kicked them out.
After Isabella had a change of heart, she smiled and said, "It's nothing, sister, don't overthink it."
Emma wiped her mouth and couldn't be bothered to respond. "By the way, sister, Brother William asked me out yesterday. Do you want to come along?" Isabella said, her face showing a hint of shyness. It was obvious that she was showing off.
Going out on a date with someone else's fiancé and feeling superior about it? How shameless. In the past, Emma might have been so angry that she would cry. But now, even though she was under a lot of pressure, she remained calm and composed.
"No, thanks. You should work hard and try to make things work out sooner rather than later." Emma's words were sincere. If only Isabella could break off the engagement and move on. Isabella's eyes flickered when she heard this. She didn't show any emotion on the surface, but she took the words to heart.
If she could really make things work out, why worry about not being able to enter the Taylor Family?
Seeing her useless parents turn against each other, Isabella felt that she should do something for her own future...
