A Contract Marriage With My Boss

Sarah realized that Charles didn't trust her. She didn't know why it hurt so much, she felt like her world was collapsing in front of her. Charles continued to believe and defend others over her. Sarah realized that Charles would never completely trust her like he trusted Emma, he would always be suspicious of her.

But why was he blindly trusting the others over her? That was the difference between Emma and her. Emma had his trust, whereas Sarah didn't.

Christina interfered. "There's no need to ask. What if she fell in love with somebody else, and you are the only one who doesn't know about it?”

Sarah didn't respond to Christina but just stared at Charles. After a few seconds, she asked. "Do you believe that? Charles, I just want to know what you think." She stared at him, continued as if she wasn't going to stop until she got an answer from him.

Looking at her expression, Charles started to doubt, but he still answered with a harsh and cold expression, "I just want to ask you, why did you give Daniel a gift instead of me?" He still questioned her, avoiding answering her directly.

Sarah looked at him, her heart filled with disappointment. She was so tired from the last few days, and all she wanted was to escape from reality, but somehow just had to keep facing reality in its face with all its troubles.

In the past, Charles's support had given her some warmth, but now, even he doubted her, so she didn't know why she was still staying. Sometimes, she really felt like talking it through with them and telling them all her anger and injustice into their face and then leaving. Maybe, leaving was true to her! She had gone through many difficult things in her life and never relied on anyone. So why should she tolerate them now?

However, Mr. Thomas was very sick and still in the operating room. She knew he expected them to get along with each other, how could she argue with them outside the operating room where he was fighting for his life? If she only considered herself right now, Mr. Thomas could get mad or upset again, and he wasn't strong enough for that.

Thinking of how good Mr. Thomas had always treated her, she couldn't let him down right now. She squeezed her fists tightly to suppress her anger and said with a cold voice. "Your dad is in the operating room now; can we talk about it later?"

However, Christina wasn't ready to let go. "Are you trying to find an excuse? You can't find a good reason, so you're looking for an excuse."

Emma, who was still standing beside her mom, added, "Mom, Sarah wouldn't do something like that. She really cares about dad, or else she wouldn't have gone out with Daniel to buy food for him!” Her words sounded very natural, but Sarah heard them very eccentric because Christina was precisely blaming her husband's condition on her going out and neglecting Me. Thomas.

When Charles heard Emma's reasoning, he became even angrier.

Christina continued to add fuel to the fire. "Was she going out to buy food? Everyone knows what she really did!"

Sarah couldn't stand them any longer, especially Christina and Emma, who had been nothing but trouble for a long time. She thought that she could bear it for Charles and that after getting to know her, they would finally start treating her better. However, instead of starting to treat her better, Charles was not also let her down.

Sarah suddenly turned toward Christina and said with a cold yet determined voice. "Mrs. Thomas and Emma. Do you two really find it so interesting to create problems for me? Aren't you looking down on my family? Christina, you purposely made Emma chase after my husband, haven't you? Emma, you want to marry Charles so badly, then why not tell him directly? Is it so much fun to play games and create drama around everything? You both are supposedly elegant ladies; don't you think you're degrading yourself?"

It had never occurred to Christina that Sarah would confront them like that. After staring at Sarah in shock for a second, she yelled. "What? How can you speak to me like that? Don't you know how to respect your elders?"

Sarah sneered back. "No, I don't know, but that has nothing to do with my family. I have been on my own from a young age, and there is no need to bring my family into this anymore. Besides, you always say that I'm from such an ordinary family, what's wrong with my family background? You are of high social status, and you believe yourself so high above me, are your deeds worthy of your status?"

Sarah was speaking in a loud voice as if she was throwing the handle at the blade, shocking both Charles and Emma.

As expected, Christina was not one to back down and fire back. Pointing at Sarah, she said to Charles, "You see how she talks to me? Is this her way of respecting me? This is your beloved wife!" Charles also was amazed at Sarah's reaction and tried to stop her. "Sarah, you are crossing a line, she is my mother!" His voice was filled with reproach.

Hearing Charles's words, Sarah was even more disappointed. In the past, when Christina had been mean to her, Charles always had been on her side, but today he just let her be. Maybe he didn't love her after all and decided to take his mother's side to scold her in front of everyone.

Frustrated, Sarah responded. "Charles, what right do you have to scold me? What makes you think that you can discipline me?" Then she turned to Christina and Emma and continued. "I respected you before because you are my mother-in-law, but have you been a good example? Now that you openly turned against me, I don't need to respect you anymore. And Emma, you are so ridiculous; I thought you were innocent and kind and I treated you well, I tried to help you. But you turned out to be an evil and scheming woman!"
