73 Warnings and Revelations 

Alex stood, a mix of regret and concern in his eyes, facing Lillian. Lillian’s fierce outburst had left him troubled, and now he grappled with her inexplicable hostility towards Emma. 

“I don’t understand why you, and even Mom, are so fixated on Emm. It’s puzzling. After the divorce, why can’t we leave the past behind?” Alex’s tone was a blend of frustration and a genuine desire for 

clarity. 

Lillian, her patience fraying, snapped back. “Is this about taking Emma back? It’s too late for that, Alex!” Her voice cracked with a blend of anger and hurt as she stormed out of the office, leaving Alex in a state of reflection. 

Collins, observing the tense exchange, hesitated, unsure whether to follow Lillian or remain with Alex, who seemed lost in thought.

He watched Emma engage effortlessly with the businessmen around her, displaying a newfound confidence and charm. Alex couldn’t help but wonder about the catalyst behind her remarkable 

transformation. 

Seizing an opportune moment, Alex approached Emma, who was busy with work on her phone. He initiated the conversation, referencing their last magazine shoot–a topic Emma wasn’t keen to 

revisit. 

“Thanks, but that shoot wasn’t my choice. Why are you here, Alex? What do you want?” Emma’s response was guarded, wary of Alex’s intentions.
