    42 Family Ties Unraveled


    Emma couldn’t help butugh when she saw Nathan’stest online antics from her office. “Has he lost


    his mind? This is his proof? It’sughable, absolutely absurd.”


    Morgan, who had brought the posts to Emma’s attention, was equally amused. “Some people actually


    believe these ims about you seeing other men. It’s farcical. Aren’t you going to counter this?”


    Emma remainedposed. “Nathan couldn’t have done this alone. Someone’s backing him. We need


    to find out who.” Her suspicion lingered on Lillian, but she wanted concrete evidence.


    Morgari, always one step ahead, presented her findings, “Look at this. It’s quite revealing.”


    The evidence of Lillian’s involvement spurred Emma to take action. She decided it was time to warn


    Alex about his sister’s machinations. Morgan found the idea of Emma disciplining Lillian quite


    entertaining.


    Emma unblocked Alex’s number and dialed him. He sounded exhausted, burdened by the continuous


    fallout from Nathan’s actions. Another call from Emma was thest thing he needed.


    “Remember what I told youst time? Control your people. I’m tired of cleaning up after Nathan. And


    now, it’s your sister. Last warning, Alex – rein her in, or I’ll have to step in.” Emma’s tone was stern and


    unyielding before she abruptly ended the call.


    Alex sat in silence, pondering the extent of the mess. He hadn’t bothered with Nathan’s so–called

    evidence, but now he opened the email, finding a recording within.


    Listening to Lillian’s proposition to Nathan to target Emma with fabricated photos, Alex felt a surge of


    anger. Lillian’s reckless vendetta and Nathan’s foolishness were spiraling out of control.


    He realized Emma’s patience was wearing thin, and she was giving him onest chance to intervene


    before taking matters into her own hands.


    Without finishing his work, Alex rushed out, asking Collins, personal assistant, for updates on his ex-


    wife’s and sister’s recent activities. He raised an eyebrow upon hearing of Lillian’s nightly


    disappearances.


    “Out all night, is she? It seems she’s forgotten where home is after all these years abroad,” Alex


    muttered, striding out with Collins trailing behind. He was determined to confront Lillian and untangle


    the lies and deceit trapping his family.
