Chapter 2410 - 670: Edith Apologizes, Cooperation_6
An Yiqing was very satisfied, Emory’s sincerity was sufficient.
"Very good, Mr. Emory, I hope we can cooperate smoothly."
Emory finally breathed a sigh of relief; the aura of this young lady was too strong, and every word spoken to her must be thoroughly considered. This kind of tension, he had only experienced when talking to his grandmother, Queen Freyno.
"So, what does Miss An plan to do?"
"Xuanjin has a saying, ’shoot the horse before the man, capture the king before the thief.’ If you want to rise, Edith must be removed. This woman is easy to deal with, the difficulty lies in her family. Edith’s father, the Durant Family, is very strong, which is why the Queen chose Edith. So, what to do, you should have an idea."
Emory naturally understood; he had analyzed the current situation very clearly. However, the foundation of the Durant Family was too stable, and trying to shake it was absolutely not an easy task. His mother was a commoner, his father was not favored by the Queen. Although he had made some friends over the years, he was still far from being able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Durant Family.
"Why rush? Even the strongest person has weaknesses. I have investigated the Durant Family; they are typical elite aristocrats, possessing many typical faults of elites. For example, some unworthy elite aristocrats. You find an opportunity to gather these people together, and we create an opportunity."
Inspired by An Yiqing, Emory quickly realized her intent. His mouth slightly curved up, reaching a new height in his admiration for An Yiqing.
Emory acted swiftly, and two days later, he organized a ball exclusively for young people. Since he always enjoyed making friends, hosting a ball did not raise suspicion. On the contrary, many people Emory knew were very reputable, which made young people in the circle eager to participate voluntarily.
Many people attended that night, young members from various families in the circle, along with their male and female companions. To An Yiqing’s surprise, someone she hadn’t seen for many days, Hepburn Jess, also came.
Speaking of this woman, An Yiqing had a fairly good impression. Although the two had had some unpleasantness at the business conference because of Bali, Hepburn Jess apologized to An Yiqing in front of everyone after knowing the truth. This impressed her very much with this straightforward woman.
However, upon seeing the man alongside Hepburn Jess at the ball, An Yiqing furrowed her brows.
"Miss Hepburn, why are you here alone? Where is your male companion?" An Yiqing took the chance while Hepburn Jess was standing alone in a corner and walked over.
Seeing An Yiqing, Hepburn Jess relaxed slightly. She had a favorable impression of this young lady.
"That’s not my male companion, just the husband my father chose for me."
Hepburn Jess’s tone was light, but An Yiqing could hear the dissatisfaction and anger in her voice. Husband? Hepburn Jess’s future spouse?
"If I’m not mistaken, he should be from the Durant Family. Miss Hepburn, forgive my bluntness, but I think he’s not worthy of you." The Third Young Master from the Durant Family, Edith’s father’s little nephew. Extravagant, a typical aristocratic disciple. Such a man is not worthy of a woman like Hepburn Jess, who is full of style.
Hepburn Jess shrugged, "Indeed, he’s not worthy, but he has a good pedigree. My father has always hoped I could marry an elite aristocrat to make the Jess Family stronger. But, I really want to kill that damn man. Just now, he actually put his hands on me in the car; I almost vomited!"
An Yiqing sighed; every family has a difficult story, even a noble Baroness cannot control her own marriage.
However, as a friend, she felt it necessary to remind Hepburn Jess.
"Dear, I suggest you disengage from this marriage. Durant Family won’t be lucky for long."
Hepburn Jess’s face showed doubt.
"Believe me, it’s true." An Yiqing’s tone was certain; she patted her shoulder and left the corner.
Hepburn Jess lowered her eyes in silence, emotions surging in her eyes. An Yiqing’s words touched her heart, and she sensed something unusual.
At this moment, a woman’s scream suddenly came from the crowd, followed by a man’s painful wail.
Everyone was startled, and looked over. At this point, the music in the hall unknown when had stopped, making the man’s wail even clearer and distinct.
