Chapter 33
Upon hearing Victor's declaration, Emily's expression immediately turned stern, her anger became real. She had been unaffected by Sarah and Susan taunts but Victor's refusal to accept the divorce ignited a fierce anger within her.
“if you insist on causing disaster, leave me out of it”
As the chainsaw sparked against the iron rod, freeing Sarah's other hand, Sarah frowned, taken aback by Emily biting words just as she was about to respond Emily fixed her with a chilling stare.
“ Shut up! I don't want to hear a word from you, nor from you either!”
Susan paused, shocked and feeling wrongly accused. Why was she dragged into this?
With her temper still flaring, Emily addressed the property Staff, “Now that the issue is resolved, please escort them out. Do not allow their entry again without my permission. They have caused a significant disturbance in my life. And if this ever happens again, I won't hesitate to involve the police. We wouldn't want to escalate this situation, would we?”
Despite her anger, Emily was careful not to misdirect her anger on those not involved. She was prepared for escalation if necessary.
Involving the police could damage the reputation of both families and should the media or rival company catch the news, it would become scandalous.
This was a crucial time for the Callum group as they sought new investment and victor would certainly oppose any public scandal. His angry voice came through the phone , “Emily, do you really want to disgrace yourself like this?”
The property Manager grasped Emily's intent, his face turning grave yet he remained respectful.
“Ms. Charles, I've taken note of your concern. Rest assured, an incident like this will never recur again”
With a nob, he signaled The staff, who then approached Sarah and Susan with a stern expression. Unaccustomed to such treatment, Sarah stepped back, her voice shaky as she spoke, “what are you trying to do? Victor sees the kind of person your wife is! She is ordering the property staff to throw me and Susan out!”
Upon hearing this, Victor no longer cared about the intricacies of Emily's complaint and told the staff, “ if you touch my mother or Susan, I'll make sure you die a horrible death!”
The property manager was momentarily shocked by such threats. He had never faced such brazenly overbearing behavior before.
Actually, he had planned to handle this matter in the most respectful way he could give to the Callum family since they are prominent even though they are not residents in the London skycastle estate. However their disruptive action changed the whole situation. The property manager felt confident. After all, the developer behind the London skycastle estate was the influential Waylen family!
“I didn't expect such arrogance from the Callum family. Let's find out who holds more power, the Callum or the Waylen family, throw them out!”
At the manager's order, several hefty men approached Susan and Sarah marching them toward the exit.
Susan screamed in panic into the phone, “ Victor, help me, let me go!”
Due to Sarah's fat figure, she looked like a ball from afar and the man that was carrying her immediately turned red the moment he lifted her from the ground. Seeing she was too much for him, He hastily called another colleague to assist him as they practically dragged her out.
The scene was chaotic with shrieking, yelling and frantic struggle.
Emily observed the commotion impassively, giving the property manager a slight nod of satisfaction and didn't forget to remind him. “And make sure you take the compensation for me”
“Absolutely, I won't forget. Regarding the payment… should I bring it over to you later in person?”
The property manager gave a warm smile, treating Emily like she was the actual boss . Emily shocked but unfazed just dismissed him with a wave of her hand, “allocate four hundred thousand dollars for property fee while the remaining hundred thousand dollar is for you guys to split as bonus”
At the mention of this, the property manager's face brightened, his eyes following Her tall, slim figure with real appreciation, “Thank you, Ms Charles! If you need anything just let us know the entire Waylen property team is at your command”
Without a backward glance, Emily gestured farewell, leaving the property manager admiring her poised departure.
Demanding that five hundred thousand was her tactic to annoy Sarah. Because even when she got married into the Callum family and lost her parents, she shares in the Charles Group that keeps increasing about ten million dollars in division each month. Her combined assets vastly exceeded those of Victor.
This dynamic shaped their marriage into an equal financial union with household expenses, the hiring of servants and even grocery shopping costs equally shared between her and Victor.
But Victor frequently asked for reimbursement from her to fuel his car, pay the bodyguards and other various expenses.
Perhaps she had given Victor too much privilege and over time he assumed these expenses were hers to bear alone, claiming it was to teach her how to fend for herself. After all, in this new era, if she didn't contribute, how was she different from house wives depending on their husbands?
Thinking back, Emily found it utterly ridiculous she could imagine how she had been so foolish in her previous life to spend so much money on such a man.
If her close friends heard about this, they would mock her!
The more Emily thought about it the angrier she became. As she walked upstairs to her room she took out her phone and called the bank, “This is Emily Charles. Please cancel that supplementary card for me… thank you”
Previously when Victor had once explained his poverty situation to him, she couldn't stand it. A man constantly complaining about being broke affected her perception of him, so she directly gave him her supplementary card, topping it up whenever he spent it.
“Okay, Ms Charles. I'll handle it for you right away”
After hanging up Emily glanced casually at the time displayed on her phone screen and let out a cold laugh.
Today is the last day of the month!
She was no longer in a hurry. Because at the beginning of each month, victor would return back to London skycastle estate to ask her for money!
