Chapter 208 Disgusted
"Send them abroad?"
"Yes, you need to be mentally prepared. He won't let you see Jane and Tommy easily again."
After thanking Cecilia on the other end of the phone, Emma hung up.
Emma gripped her phone tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white from the excessive force.
Her face was dark.
Emma suddenly swept her hand across, knocking everything on the table to the floor.
"Timothy is actually going to send Jane and Tommy abroad!" Emma's voice was full of anger.
Tears rolled uncontrollably down her cheeks. Timothy was really being cruel to her.
Why did that bitch Elizabeth come back alive!
Just wait and see!
She, Emma, wouldn't let them have it easy!
If they wanted to live a happy life, they shouldn't even think about it!
The next morning.
Emma went to The Nightingale Mansion looking haggard.
Freya was startled to see Emma's worn-out appearance. She asked with worry and concern, "Emma, what happened?"
As soon as Freya asked, Emma couldn't control herself and cried while hugging her, "Godmother."
"Why are you crying? What happened? Tell me quickly."
Freya asked with concern. She turned to look at Russell beside her, both their eyes showing a hint of confusion.
"Godmother, Timothy is going to send Jane and Tommy abroad. How can he be so heartless! The children are still so young, and he won't let me see Jane and them anymore."
Emma cried sadly. She left Freya's embrace, her eyes blurred with tears as she sobbed.
Freya frowned, "Emma, don't worry. Sit down and tell me slowly. Why does Timothy suddenly want to send Jane and Tommy abroad?"
Emma choked up. She wiped her tears, her voice trembling, "Godmother, yesterday at ElizaTimo Restaurant, I should have apologized to Elizabeth and her daughter on behalf of Jane."
Freya's face instantly became serious, "Is Timothy doing this to stand up for Elizabeth and her daughter? What happened at the restaurant wasn't Jane's fault in the first place. Why should our Jane apologize when she's been wronged?"
"That girl bumped into Jane and fell down herself. We didn't even make a fuss about it. What's he fussing about!"
"This is absolutely outrageous. Jane is his daughter too!"
Freya had never seen such a terrible man as Timothy.
Emma covered her eyes, "It's too late to say anything now. He suddenly decided to send Jane and Tommy abroad. They're still so young, and they have to leave me and go to a foreign country. I really can't bear it."
Freya gently patted Emma's shoulder, frowning, and comforted her, "Emma, don't be sad. Let's think of a solution together. I can't bear to part with Jane and Tommy either."
Freya looked at Russell, signaling him to say something.
Russell nodded. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Emma, calm down first. I'll talk to Timothy."
Emma shook her head, "It's useless. Even Mr. Robinson couldn't convince Timothy. Timothy is determined not to let Jane and them get in the way of Elizabeth and her daughter."
"I want to talk to Elizabeth directly, but she probably doesn't want to see me."
Emma became more and more bitter as she spoke.
Freya held Emma's hand, "Stop crying. If we can't talk to Timothy, then I'll go talk to Elizabeth."
She, Freya, didn't believe it couldn't be done.
Emma took a deep breath, trying hard to calm her emotions. She wiped her tears and looked at Freya and Russell gratefully, "Godmother, godfather, I'm so glad I have you. If it really doesn't work, I'll take Jane to apologize to Elizabeth."
Freya really grew to hate Elizabeth. It was just a little conflict between two kids, yet she made Timothy send Jane and Tommy abroad.
Elizabeth was really cruel.
Freya picked up her phone and called Herschel, her tone also containing anger, "Herschel, do me a favor. Call Elizabeth and tell her I want to meet with her tomorrow."
Herschel asked casually with some confusion, "What do you need to see Elizabeth about?"
Freya snorted coldly and got straight to the point, "Timothy is going to send Jane and them abroad. He's standing up for Elizabeth and her daughter."
"Timothy and Elizabeth?" Herschel had been busy with company matters and wasn't clear about these things. He had a meeting coming up and didn't have time to chat further, "Freya, I'll call Elizabeth later."
Elizabeth was a bit surprised to receive a call from Herschel.
She waited for him to finish.
Why did Freya suddenly want to see her?
Elizabeth asked Robbie about tomorrow's schedule and agreed to meet with Freya tomorrow.
They arranged a time and place.
After hanging up, Elizabeth touched her chin and thought about it. Freya was probably looking for her because of Emma.
"Chairwoman Penrose, Mr. Ayers, the CEO of Zenith Enterprises Group, has arrived." Robbie noted down Elizabeth's schedule for tomorrow. He looked at his watch, "His car is about to arrive at the Sherman Group."
"Let's go down to receive our distinguished guest. Is the information ready?"
"Yes."
The fact that Elizabeth personally went down to receive Eric, the CEO of Zenith Enterprises Group, showed that this cooperation between the two companies was very important.
Eric got out of the car. He was tall with a Western build and handsome features.
"Welcome, hello Mr. Ayers."
"Hello, Calista."
The two shook hands politely and walked into the Sherman Group while making small talk.
In the conference room.
Eric sat calmly at the other end of the conference table.
His sharp eyes looked at the documents in his hands.
The Sherman Group and Zenith Enterprises Group were negotiating an important business cooperation.
This was a cooperation project about cloud development.
And sitting across from him was Elizabeth, wearing a dark business suit today.
Her expression showed a sense of composure.
This cooperation wasn't simple.
The two engaged in back-and-forth business negotiations. This was a battle of wits.
Since it was a cooperation, many aspects were involved.
Eric didn't expect Elizabeth to be so tough.
Each of her questions was well thought out, and she was well aware of the hidden risks behind them.
To be honest, because Elizabeth was the newly appointed chairwoman of the Sherman Group, Eric actually didn't plan to choose to cooperate with the Sherman Group at first. Today was originally just to have preliminary talks.
However, now he might need to seriously consider the Sherman Group.
"Mr. Ayers, if we cooperate this time, it will involve the long-term future development of both our companies. I will consider every detail in the negotiation carefully."
"I'm very optimistic about the future development trends of cloud technology."
Elizabeth's words always revealed a calm composure.
Eric looked at Elizabeth with deep eyes.
This cloud project business negotiation couldn't possibly be concluded today.
At dinner time, as a local, Elizabeth invited Eric to have dinner together.
Eric opened the car door for Elizabeth and said gentlemanly, "I've always wanted to try the cuisine here."
Elizabeth smiled, bent down and got into the car first. She had Robbie book a restaurant and turned to Eric, "You can try the specialty dishes here later."
Eric smiled politely.
Elizabeth led Eric into the restaurant and coincidentally ran into Timothy.
Elizabeth pretended not to know him and walked past Timothy.
