Chapter 15 How Long Can She Act?

• In the past, Emma would often feel hurt and dejected whenever Trevor criticized her. She would feel terrible about herself and would feel utterly worthless as an individual. However, things were no longer the same—Emma no longer lived for the sake of this man, so she didn't need to care about the way he thought of her. It didn't matter even if he saw her as nothing more than a piece of trash.
• Hence, Emma didn't even meet Trevor's gaze after hearing his words. She simply took the scarf that she had chosen over to the counter, and she left after paying for it. Trevor, who was left alone in his spot, felt completely ignored and disregarded once more. He stared at her slim figure as he narrowed his eyes and sneered under his breath. I'd like to see how much longer she can put on a show! She used to claim that she loved me, and she would cling to me like a helpless child. I don't believe that she can let go of me so easily in just a year's time.
• About half an hour later, Emma took a cab and arrived at the Bateson Residence. She chose to visit Christopher at 12PM on a work day so as not to bump into Trevor by accident. Based on what she knew about Trevor, he would typically visit Christopher during the weekends. Furthermore, he was usually too busy to have lunch anywhere else apart from his office.
