## "I understand." Richard appeared to be quite upset. He reached out to point at Harvard. "Give Emma a call. Ask her to come over immediately."

"I got it, Grandpa."

Beep!

Beep!

The call was finally picked up after it rang for almost one minute.

Harvard was angry, and he fiercely said, "Emma, why did you take so long to answer the call? Hurry up and come to the company now."

In the end, a voice was heard on the other end of the line. "Is that you, Harvard? Excuse me, Emma can't go."

Everyone could hear that it was Janice's voice.

"What do you mean?" Harvard asked.

"Didn't Grandpa give Emma two days of leave? So, I brought Emma to Santa Bay. We're sunbathing on the beach now, therefore, we can't go back immediately."

"How dare you!"

Harvard was furious. They were still in the mood for sunbathing in Santa Bay at such a critical time?

"Pass me the phone," Richard yelled.

He took the phone and intentionally suppressed his anger. "Stop playing, Janice. We're discussing the construction plan with Mr. Wall, so it's very important. Quickly, ask Emma to get here right now. Don't be capricious."

"I'm not being capricious. We're really in Santa Bay at the moment. Do you want me to take a photo for you?"

Richard was livid. "Then, quickly buy a flight ticket and rush back this instant!"

"Why should we go back? I remember that Jade is now the person in charge of the project, and the main company is also managing it. Emma has nothing to do with it, right? Grandpa, didn't you purposely approve a two-day leave for her?"

Richard gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. His eyes turned red, and he wanted to smash the table so badly.

However, since the people from the Urban Construction Bureau were in the room, it was not convenient for him to lose his temper. He forced himself to say, "It's my fault. There are some things that Emma has to handle here in person. The two of you need to buy flight tickets and come back. I'll let Emma continue being the person-in-charge of the project."

Richard had lived for many years, and that was the first time he had to lower his head and apologize to a young member!

Everyone in the room was terrified.

In contrast…

Janice lazily said, "All right, let me see what time the earliest flight is… Oh, it's 6.00 pm. It will take at least two hours to fly back. I guess we'll arrive by 8.30 pm. Grandpa, please wait for us."

Please wait?

It was just freaking 10.00 am now!

Richard had never suffered such a huge humiliation before. He gritted his teeth tightly.

"All right, see you tonight."

Beep! After Richard hung up, he forced a smile. "Mr. Wall, Emma will arrive at 8.30 pm. Do you think—"

"Oh, we'll talk about it tonight then."

Cillian got up and left without any hesitation. He did not glance at anyone else in the room at all.

After Cillian left, the whole office fell silent.

Suddenly, Richard lifted his chair and smashed it heavily into the office desk in the meeting room. "Darn it, Janice Wilson!"

...

Meanwhile, Janice and Emma were laying on the beach in Santa Bay, sunbathing. They enjoyed it very much.

"Thomas, the earliest flight is at 11.00 am, and we can get back home at around 1.00 pm. Why did you lie to Grandpa?"

Janice shrugged. "Really? Maybe I saw it wrongly."

He saw it wrongly?

Emma rolled her eyes at him. She did not believe his ridiculous words.

However, she needed to admit that Thomas' naughty trick had allowed her to release her anger. She felt so pleasant, happy, and joyful!

She had been oppressed in the Hill family, and her grandfather had always despised her.
