Chapter 21 I Want You to Swear with the Life of Your Beloved People

Miss. Bena refused to let the headmaster know about it.

Otherwise, she would be fired!

However, Emily had no time to talk to her.

Emily was so anxious just now that all she could think about was that she had lost Ice again.

She felt as cold as falling into an ice cave.

But when she saw Aldrich's phone call, she came back to her senses.

No, that's not right.

Cecilia didn't know Aunt Gina.

Emily had never told Cecilia that she was from the Copper family.

Andre would never say anything. If Emily believed that Andre would betray her, it would be better for her to believe that the earth was square.

"So, is that you?"

Emily said in a cold voice.

Aldrich was in a trance for a moment. The cold voice reminded him of Charlotte.

Emily's mother.

That night, she also questioned him in the same tone...

All right, all right.

It was not the right time to think about it.

Aldrich raised his voice, "I have raised an ungrateful wolf for so many years. Who gave you the right to question your father?"

"After you asked someone to take my daughter away!"

Emily shouted angrily.

She walked out of the classroom quickly. "What did you do to Ice? Aldrich, if you dare to hurt my daughter, I will let you pay the price!"

Emily's disobedience irritated Aldrich obviously.

He cursed, such as, "Bitch, you are the same as your mother."

Lilith sighed and patted on Aldrich's back to comfort him.

"Okay, let me tell her."

She grabbed the phone and said in a soft voice, "You shouldn't be so angry with your father. My child, he does all for your own good."

Emily was disgusted by deeply.

For her own good?

Was it for his money and power!

No one knew him better than Emily.

Aldrich never loved her.

He just took Emily as someone whose everything he could control at will.

"Do you believe what you said?"

Emily took a taxi and sat in the car. The rear view mirror reflected the mockery in her eyes.

"I don't believe you anyway. I just want my daughter to be safe."

Emily was impatient to hear Lilith's word. She hung up the phone decisively and leaned against the window wearily.

Her heart was broken with a big hole in it, and the empty could not be filled up.

Since she came back to the UK, different troublesome things had occurred.

Emily even doubted whether her decision was right or not.

If she didn't care too much about the past.

And Ice would be fine.

When Emily arrived, Aldrich was waiting for her in the living room.

Seeing her come in, he snorted and sneered, "So now, you don't even want to call me father, do you?"

Emily was really confused. How could Aldrich ask her to treat him as a real father after he did so many bad things to her?

Emily rubbed between her eyebrows tiredly.

She had no energy left to argue with Aldrich.

"Where is Ice? Is she safe now?"

Emily looked at her nominal father coldly.

"What on earth do you want? Will I give up my mother's legacy completely?"

She could do that as long as Ice came back safely!

"No!"

To her surprise, Aldrich refused her without hesitation.

He said in a low voice, "I just hope that you can marry Mr. Albert."

Everyone knew that the Kliman family was aiming at the money.

Aldrich was surprised. The Kliman was regarded as old, noble, and rich family but they still insisted on the marriage for more wealth.

It was not a decent thing.

However, it didn't mean that he wouldn't compromise directly.

The secret that the Kliman family had a financial problem was kept tightly.

Aldrich didn't think he had the ability to go against the Kliman family.

So at this time, he would make a fortune as possible as he could.

He stood up and said in an irresistible tone, "I found a good house for Ice."

"At that time, she will become a girl with parents. It's better than being your illegitimate daughter abandoned by others!"

"You can also become a rich lady in the upper-class society. Why not?"

"No way! I will never marry Albert Kliman!"

A rich lady from the upper class?

Who cares!

Emily stood up immediately.

"Aldrich, you'd better not force me. If my Ice can't come back, I will go to hell with you!"

Once she made a promise, she must do it.

As a mother, if she couldn't protect her own child, then what was the use of the rest of her life, no matter how rich and wonderful it was?

Emily had already lost a child. She would never allow herself to lose Ice again.

To everyone's surprise, Aldrich didn't react much.

He seemed to have guessed what Emily would say.

Just like that truth.

"If someone wanted to open a window, he had to say that he wanted to lift the roof."

Those people who didn't agree with your plan to lift the roof would naturally allow you to open the window.

"I knew it."

Aldrich mumbled, "I can give Ice back to you, but you have to swear that you must marry Mr. Albert."

His eyes were full of certainty.

"Of course, you can choose to refuse, but I have to promise you that you will never see that illegitimate daughter again in your life!"

Emily gasped for breath. Aldrich threatened her openly.

And she had to admit that Aldrich's threat worked.

If he was crazy enough to do something to Ice?

No matter how much revenge after that, it would be useless…

Ice's hurt was irreparable.

"Okay."

Emily said with difficulty.

"I can promise to get married."

What she thought was simple. No matter what, she had to make sure that Aldrich wouldn't hurt Ice.

But Aldrich was more determined than Emily imagined.

He took out a brand-new Bible.

"I need you to swear to God."

Just like the viper that lured Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit, Aldrich hissed and spat the vicious oath on Emily.

"... If you don't marry Albert, your beloved Aunt Gina and your daughter Ice will die miserably. After death, heaven will not accept their souls!"

Emily's eyes widened suddenly.

"How dare you!"

Aldrich smiled.

"Read it! Otherwise, I will never believe you!"

He wanted Emily to use the person she cared about the most. Swear!
