A Contract Marriage With My Boss

Sarah ran back to the ward in a hurry. While walking through the hallway, Sarah seemed to hear Mrs. Thomas and Emma's voices around the corner, as if they were talking about her and Charles. At first, Sarah wasn't sure about it, but after taking a peek, she saw that they were indeed there. So she stopped to listen to their conversation.

Mrs. Thomas said, "I didn't support you and Charles before, just because I was afraid of your family background. Alas, it was my fault. But now Charles has done the opposite of what I said and has married a girl from the outside. That girl has a poorer family background than you. As the saying goes, as for the son's wife, an adopted girl is much better than an outside girl. I am on your side, Emma. Seize Charles back. I would rather you marry Charles than that girl."

Hearing these words, Sarah's heart was chilled, deeply.

"Mom, you can't say that to me. Sarah is my sister and a part of my family now. There is no need to say this." Emma seemed to be a little nervous as if she was at a loss.

"Emma, don't you still like your brother?" Mrs. Thomas was unwilling to give up and still probed her.

After keeping silent for a little while, Emma answered, "I do still like him, but what can I do? Obviously, my brother doesn't like me now. Moreover, he's gotten married and lives a happy life with his wife now. I have no way but to give up, even though I still like him so much." Emma's voice sounded somewhat lonely, with a little sadness in it.

"Silly girl!" Mrs. Thomas was a little angry and said in a hurry, "You should strive for it if you like him. How can you give up easily?"

"Mom..." Emma was flustered, "Brother has already gotten married. If I still seize him back, I will destroy his family."

"So what? Your brother was captivated by her in a short time. At first, I thought that the girl had character. But later, she was with Charles again. She was intrigued by Charles's status. Few people can be as excellent as Charles in the world. She's so lucky to be with Charles. But I am really worried about him. I believe that Charles was possessed to think that he liked that woman. He should still love you. After all, you deeply loved each other at the beginning. How can he give up so easily? Only if you strive for it, can you be successful!"

"Mom, I don't want to do this in such a way. I really don't want to..." Emma shook her head.

"Why not?" Mrs. Thomas was still worried. "Emma, you are my only hope. Only you can drive that woman away. I'm quite worried about Charles."

"Mom, Sarah is good. Don't worry. And I still need to go back to Chicago for my studies. I can't stay with Charles..." Emma was struggling, but she still refused. Mrs. Thomas had to give up. She heaved a sigh with sadness, “I shouldn't have pulled you apart. You are so kind, but you can't have the right person. It's my fault!"

Hiding at the corner, Sarah felt her chills in her heart. She was unwilling to stay here, so she turned around and left quietly. While walking, she seized her bag tightly, struggling with her emotions and feeling helpless. Grasping her bag seemed to comfort her a little bit. However, no matter how tightly she seized it, her heart was still cold, and she didn't know what she should do now.

She didn't know why Mrs. Thomas hated her so much. And to the point where she even implored Emma to drive her away! What terrible things did she do? Was this just about her family background? But she couldn't choose that. Why did Mrs. Thomas always look down on her?
