Chapter 985 - Nonsense!
After hearing his explanation, she realized that Emma had met one of the elders of the Hartanto family.
At that time, Samuel had not returned home, and Erika was worried about Merry\'s condition, so she hurriedly informed him and hurried to visit the scene.
At this time, Erika walked up to Paul with a lingering fear, and said politely, "Good evening uncle!"
Paul nodded and waved his hand. "Don\'t stand still, sit down."
Erika bowed humbly, looking back at Samuel who was still watching Emma, then pulled the corner of her mouth. She then let Merry lead her to the opposite side of the table to sit down.
Right now, Samuel was still standing at the door, his eyes fixed on Emma.
Perhaps since he had been staring at her for too long, Paul took a sip of his tea, and there was a sense of playfulness in his deep eyes.
After a while, Samuel averted his gaze, walked in front of Paul, lowered his head and said, "Uncle, long time no see!"
Paul was still drinking tea, his drooping eyelids looked a little cold.
He didn\'t speak, so Samuel could only bow his head on the spot.
Seconds later, Paul put the teacup in his hand, wiped his fingers with a napkin, covered his eyelids and opened his mouth flatly. "Find a place to sit, I\'m also glad to see you again."
Samuel licked his teeth and thanked Paul for accepting his presence.
He immediately walked over to Emma\'s place without any hesitation, pulled out a chair and sat down to her right.
This move made Emma feel like a winner, and raised her eyebrows at Erika opposite her.
Obviously, she won the bet!
Even after 20 years, Emma still holds an important position in Samuel\'s heart.
Her provocative attitude did not get any response from Erika. She looked ahead calmly, as if she didn\'t care.
At this time, Samuel put his hands on the table, crossed his fingertips, pursed his lips, then asked Paul, "Uncle, I heard that Emma ran into you today. Is that right?"
Paul raised his eyes calmly, his gaze fixed on Samuel. "I haven\'t seen you for several years, since when did you marry another woman?"
Marry another woman?
Merry pursed her lips at Paul\'s words, and her big black eyes were full of confusion.
Her father remarried?!
Even though she was curious, she didn\'t dare to speak.
Of course Paul\'s words have a lot of meaning!
His wife and daughter are sitting here, but Samuel is running to the opposite side to keep Emma company!
What a jerk!
The little girl kept her eyes open, pulled Erika\'s finger off the table and gently squeezed it, trying to give her some warmth.
As for Samuel, when he heard Paul\'s sarcasm, he smirked and his face was slightly embarrassed. "Uncle, you really like to joke. Emma is just an old friend of mine. She came to Surabaya this time and I couldn\'t comfort her, maybe this is what made her mood worse. So if she upset you, please forgive her."
After that, Samuel immediately looked at Emma beside him. "Emma, apologize to uncle!"
Emma was a little surprised, she didn\'t expect Samuel to apologize directly even though she didn\'t know what the real problem was!
To her arrogant attitude, ??such order from Samuel was completely unacceptable.
Her mouth immediately pouted. "Samuel, I…"
Emma was just about to say her refusal when Paul interrupted and sneered, "The kid from the Hiroshi family now dares to order me? How dare you!"
In a moment, Samuel\'s face suddenly changed.
Over the years, he had been used to ruling from above, so he was subconsciously trying to dominate everything at this time.
He had almost forgotten that before Paul went up the mountain, he was the strongest candidate to inherit the Hartanto family. Of course no one will dare to provoke him.
A person who dares to kill… even if he takes the path of a monk, Paul is definitely not a compassionate person.
Samuel still remembers the information that has been circulating among the big families.
If Paul is not deposed, no one can do anything in Surabaya in a hundred years!
That historical event was deeply etched in Samuel\'s mind, and when he recalled it, it even made him break out in a cold sweat.
When Paul dominated the world, Samuel might still be a runny boy playing in the mud.
At this time, Samuel slowly clenched his fingertips, then lowered his posture involuntarily, and his tone was also very humble. "Sorry, I was really being rude to you."
Paul looked at him with a smile. He put the napkin in his hand and said coldly, "I\'m not calling you today to reminisce about the past. Your old friend next to you said that your daughter Merry spread bad news about her child and obviously she was offended as a parent. You should give this friend of yours an explanation. How do you think this matter should be handled?"
Samuel\'s face instantly turned nervous because of Paul\'s words.
Although he heard it with horror in his eyes, he also caught an important clue.
"Emma… You have a child?"
Samuel looked at Emma in shock, frowning in disbelief.
Faced with his question, Emma fell into panic.
All her plans would likely fall apart at this point.
To maintain her composure, Emma squeezed her palm with her fingertips.
After breathing a few times, she looked at Samuel with a smile. "Samuel, I\'ll explain this to you later, okay? Regarding this matter with Merry, I know that Merry has no bad intentions at all, nor do I intend to discuss this matter again."
"Nonsense!" Merry could not accept the unfounded accusation.
She glared at Emma sharply, and did not give her a good face. "I never said anything bad about your child. Dad, her child is sick and I just asked her to come home and take care of her child. Is it wrong? She immediately got angry and accused me of saying bad things about her sick child! Or how about you introduce your child to us? If that child of yours is really healthy, then it\'s my fault!"
At this moment, when Merry was talking about Jade, Emma\'s face suddenly became gloomy.
However, Samuel didn\'t seem to really hear the little girl\'s explanation. He still looked at the woman next to him and muttered, "You… Is your child\'s last name Sylvester? How old is your child?"
Everyone was speechless.
Seeing this, Erika smiled bitterly and shook her head mockingly.
Emma was a woman who had been in her husband\'s heart for many years, even if that woman had another child that wasn\'t his, Samuel was still thinking about one question.
Did this man think of Emma\'s child as his own too?!
