Chapter 1348
“Really? That’s a bigshotpany!” one rtive eximed with augh. “Kenny has snagged such a
great boyfriend, she better hold onto him tight! When’s the wedding?”
“They’re renovating their house right now, and the property rights have Kenny’s name on them tool
Linda proudly revealed it with a grin. “Actually, we’re thinking of buying Kenny a new house as well.
This way, they can be more at ease in the future. Kenny’s already married, after all I can’t let her life
quality drop a notch!”
Everyone chimed in withpliments.
Out of the blue, Kenny turned to Emily and said with augh, “Emily, my house is almost ready I’ll take
you to check it out when you’re free:
“Yes, take Emily along? Linda chimed in instantly. “Emily, Kenny’s house in huge, about 120 square
meters with three bedrooms it’s in a great location, too. You should definitely go see it. You two have
been close since childhood, you should hang out more.”
Emily could tell Linda was showing off, but she kept a straight face “Sure, I’ll go when I have time ”
But Linda wasn’t satisfied. She deliberately asked in front of the rtives, Emily, where are you living
now? Do you own a house or are you renting? “Trent my ce, Emily replied calmly
“Renting is such a hassle,ndlords can be tough, Linda frowned. “You should strive to buy your own
ce. If worstes to worst, you could work at Kenny’spany. Work hard for a while, and you’ll
be able to afford a house.”
Emily coolly responded, “You don’t need to worry about me, I’m doing just fine.”
Gina stayed silent, her face stiff.
Linda continued, “You know, as a girl, you don’t need to work too hard Getting married might be the
easier option. Raising a child alone, r much you make, it might not be enough.”
The rtives watched the scene unfold, their eyes darting back and forth between Emily and Linda.

Emily resisted the urge to argue with Linda. For one, it was Elliott’s wedding day, she couldn’t stir up
drama. Second, she had no interest in arguing with others in front of Kya
Emily didn’t care about what others thought of her, but she didn’t want people to gossip about Kya. She
stood up and said, “You guys chat, I take Kya out for a bit”
Gina finally spoke up: “Don’t go too far, Elliott and Bonnie will be here soon”
“Okay”
Emily nodded, picked up Kya, and left.
Linda and Kenny exchanged nces. Linda sipped her drink, pouting, “Did I upset Emily with what I
said?”
“No” Gina quickly cut in “Kya’s just restless, Emily’s taking her out to y.”
Linda scoffed, saying, Tm only saying these things because I care about her. If it were anyone else,
they wouldn’t bother. Has she forgotten about basic social etiquette after living overseas?”
“Emily knows you’ve always cared for her since she was a kid.”
“As long as they keep in touch, it’s fine. Emily should call Kenny more often to strengthen their bond.
Kenny can help her out too.”
Gina nodded in agreement, saying, “Alright, I’ll remind Emily to call Kenny more often.”
By the time Charlie arrived, Elliott was still out picking up Bonnie.
Charlie’s assistant went to the reception to check in, and as soon as the receptionist saw Charlie’s
name, he immediately called someone over. The person in charge of hospitality swiftly led Charlie to
the VIP area.
Charlie sat down on a couch, and Elliott’s boss hurried over.
Elliott’s department had originally sent a manager to attend the wedding.
The man was taken aback when he saw Charlie, and he immediately called Mr. Sample in the branch
office to tell him Mr. James had arrived.
Mr. Sample was equally surprised, and, ignoring the uing meeting, he rushed over in his car
The department manager and a few colleagues who hade to the wedding sat respectfully next to
Charlie and said, “Mr. James, please wait a moment, Mr. Sample from the branch office will be here
soon.”
