Chapter 320 - 328 Emily Lopez Whistleblowing
On Friday, aboard the airplane bound for ASCS City, James Brown, Gina Lopez, and Emily Lopez were seated together in economy class.
Gina usually flew first class, but Emily insisted on flying economy for a simple reason; first class seats were arranged in pairs, whereas economy had rows of three seats, allowing all three of them to sit together. Moreover, she made sure James was seated in the middle.
Gina had generously stated last time that she didn’t mind her sister competing with her for James’s affection, so she couldn’t really say anything now. She had to let James sit between them and enjoy the envy of other men.
And the trio certainly attracted a lot of attention. A pair of identical twins, both stunningly beautiful, no matter where they were, they made others envious. And with James sitting between them, the envy was even greater.
As soon as they boarded the plane, Emily was chattering away with James, talking about everything under the sun, and they just seemed to hit it off well. Gina hardly got the chance to join in—the bewildering thing for her was how talkative James could be with Emily, and how easily they could find common ground, whereas with her, it seemed that the only thing they could talk about was work.
This filled Gina with frustration. She tried to join the conversation a few times, but James would only respond briefly before resuming his conversation with Emily.
Emily would call him "Brother-in-law" repeatedly, making it clear to everyone that James was the husband of the beautiful woman beside him. But the intimacy between a brother-in-law and his sister-in-law raised suspicions about the nature of their relationship, and some unsavory thinkers even speculated that James must have conquered both sisters.
This uncomfortable situation for Gina finally changed when they got home. Their parents were delighted to have the three of them back. Mrs. Lopez held Gina’s hand, inquiring about their life, asking about wedding plans and pregnancy.
"cough... Why aren’t you pregnant yet? You don’t have any problems, do you? Should you go for a medical check-up?" Mrs. Lopez had been coughing incessantly as she spoke today.
Gina detested this topic and quickly said, "We’re both fine, but having a baby isn’t that easy. Some people take a couple of years, you know. And mom, why are you constantly coughing? Have you been to the doctor?"
"It’s nothing, just the unusual weather these past days, making me cough due to the wind."
