Chapter 1358


    Emily chuckled lightly, shaking her head, 1 know Manley’s out of the country, but I didn’t notify him, and


    I won’t ept the gift”


    “You just take it, it’s for Elliott, and it’s my task to deliver it. Otherwise, he’d think I’m cking.” Estelle


    With so much money weighing her down, Emily felt a warmth in her heart. “Thank you, I’m grateful!”


    “Let’s go. I’ve got a wedding to hit!” Magdalen said, slinging an arm around Emily’s shoulders, “Where’s


    Kya? Isn’t she the flower girl today? Is she wearing the dress I bought her? I can’t wait to see it.”


    Emily led the two to find seats.


    Once they were gone, everyone at the banquet stopped talking for a moment.


    After a while, Linda sneered, “What’s with the act?”


    Kenny gently tugged at Linda’s sleeve, whispering, “Mom, watch your mouth. That’s the Sampson


    family’s little princess. I’ve seen her pictures online”


    Magdalen always drew attention, and if she was to harbour ill will towards them, they could face


    unexpected bacsh!


    It took a moment for Linda to catch on, “You mean Ms. Sampson of the Sampson family, who married


    Morrison of the Langston family?”


    Kenny nodded.


    Shock spread across Linda’s face. Ms. Sampson was a high-ssdy they wouldn’t normally interact


    with.


    And Emily was friends with Magdalen?


    Did Ms. Sampson really defend Kya?


    A chill ran through Linda. She suddenly felt regret. She hadn’t expected Emily to have such influential


    friends.


    Had she been on good terms with Emily before, she might have gotten help from the Sampson family


    or Mr. James.


    With families as wealthy as theirs, a single word could make amon person wealthy for life!


    What Linda felt now wasn’t just jealousy. It was regret.


    Emily found a quiet ce to sit with Estelle and Magdalen. After hearing about Magdalen’s gold bar gift


    for the Ferber family, Emily was betweenughter and tears, “Why would you give them such an


    expensive gift?”


    Magdalen scoffed, “Of course, it’s for revenge, to shut them up!”


    Estelle chuckled, “Magdalen says people love to gossip at gatherings like this. So, she bought a bag of


    gold bars just to shut them up, to stop them from talking about you.”


    At first, when Magdalen told Estelle that Emily and Kya’s appearance would cause a stir, Estelle


    thought it wouldn’t be that bad.


    But as soon as they arrived, they heard people belittling Emily, especially Linda and Kenny. They didn’t


    defend Emily but instead kicked her while she was down.


    That’s when Estelle realized how perceptive Magdalen was and how well prepared.

    Even Manley’s gift was cash on purpose to back Emily up.


    It turned out to be necessary. It worked wonders against those fair-weather friends.


    Emily was moved, unsure of what to say


    “You’re always helping me I feel so useless!”


    “How can you be useless? You’re Charlie’s assistant, and you’re well-paid. You’re just too low key. In


    front of these people, if you’re low-key, they’ll think you’re easy to bully and will try to harm you!”


    Magdalen said indignantly


    “Regardless, I’m really grateful to you guys! Emily said gratefully.


    “We’re family. Why mention it?” Magdalenughed brightly, “Where’s Elliott and the bride? I can’t wait


    to see the bride!”


    “They’re still taking photos outside. They’ll be in soon,” Emily answered with a smile
