0032##Chapter 32

##At night, after dinner, Johnson called Janice over to sit next to him on the couch.

"Janice, do you know why I asked you to come over?"

Thomas shook his head.

Johnson scoffed and felt disappointed. "I called you here to remind you to find something to do when you're free. Don't keep wandering around and doing nothing. You can also see that Emma is a beautiful woman who has signed a big contract. She is becoming capable.

"But what about you? You do nothing all day long, and you're just relying on a woman. Does that make sense?

"You're not good enough for our Emma now!"

Emma walked over, and she looked unhappy.

"Dad, how could you criticize Janice like that?"

"Why can't I say that?" Johnson seemed serious. "I'm stating facts. You are now the person in charge of the big project, and you'll be earning a few hundred million dollars. You're getting wealthy. Would a lousy man be suitable for you?"

"Dad!"

"Anyway, Janice is not good for you at this point." Johnson then pointed at Janice. "I will keep my promise to give you some time, but I'm also telling you that I will similarly look for a better partner for my daughter during this period. If you can't be successful, please don't waste my daughter's time. Do you understand?"

Janice's face darkened, and she did not answer.

"Hmph! Think about it properly." Johnson got up and went back to his bedroom.

Emma sat beside Janice, and she asked, "Why didn't you let me tell the truth? If my father knew that you got the contract for me, he would've changed his perspective of you."

Janice smiled faintly and said, "There's no need. Besides, I only managed to get the contract after my friend helped me. Your father won't acknowledge that."

"But—"

Thomas interrupted her as he spoke first. "Emma, don't worry. I have my plan. One day, I will prove my ability to you."

Emma sighed. "I hope that day will come soon. You've heard that my father will probably arrange some ridiculous blind dates for me."

While they talked, Emma's phone suddenly rang.

It was a call from Harvard.

Emma frowned. She never kept in touch with Harvard, but why did he suddenly call her?

"Hello, Harvard, what's up?"

"Nothing important. I just want to inform you that you don't have to attend the construction project meeting with the Urban Construction Bureau tomorrow morning."

Emma was stunned.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you understand? Hill Manufacturing signed the contract, so our family has the rights to it and also the ability to be in charge of it completely. We don't need your participation. You're out!"

"That's impossible."

"Nothing is impossible. Grandpa has decided. The person in charge will be Jade. Oh yeah, Grandpa even purposely approved a two-day leave for you. You can get some good rest at home. Haha!"

Beep!

Harvard hung up, leaving behind a furious Emma.

"Argh!" Emma was so angry that she shouted.

Thomas shook his head slightly. "I told you. Kind people will always be bullied. You repaid their hatred with kindness, and you even thought of letting your family work on the project. In the end, they've become more tactless. They didn't discuss it with you before they directly grabbed the project, to make matters worse, they've kicked you out. Your family and the main company don't respect you at all."

Emma was extremely disappointed.

That was the first time she had ever hated her grandfather.

She was not a saint. Although Emma was kind, she could not take it either when she was backed into a corner.
