    73 Warnings and Revtions


    Alex stood, a mix of regret and concern in his eyes, facing Lillian. Lillian’s fierce outburst had left him


    troubled, and now he grappled with her inexplicable hostility towards Emma.


    “I don’t understand why you, and even Mom, are so fixated on Emm. It’s puzzling. After the divorce,


    why can’t we leave the past behind?” Alex’s tone was a blend of frustration and a genuine desire for


    rity.


    Lillian, her patience fraying, snapped back. “Is this about taking Emma back? It’s toote for that, Alex!”


    Her voice cracked with a blend of anger and hurt as she stormed out of the office, leaving Alex in a


    state of reflection.

    Alex, collecting himself, responded with resolve. “Keep an eye on her. And Collins, can you get in touch

    They were curious about her rtionship with Wayne, but their inquiries remained unspoken,


    respecting the unspoken rules of high society.


    Alex, among the onlookers, caught sight of Emma and Wayne. He decided to bide his time, waiting for


    the right moment to approach Emma. His purpose was precautionary, as Lillian’s ns had not yet


    materialized.


    He watched Emma engage effortlessly with the businessmen around her, disying a newfound


    confidence and charm. Alex couldn’t help but wonder about the catalyst behind her remarkable


    transformation.


    Seizing an opportune moment, Alex approached Emma, who was busy with work on her phone. He


    initiated the conversation, referencing theirst magazine shoot–a topic Emma wasn’t keen to
