CHAPTER 76: Emily's motive: A new game to play.

　　Emily lay in bed, her head resting on John’s chest with a satisfied smile playing at her lips. Everything had worked out exactly as she had hoped. Isabelle, the thorn in her side, was gone, cast away in disgrace. John was finally hers, broken by the betrayal he believed Isabelle had committed. Rachel had even started warming up to her, viewing Emily as an asset to the family’s future. It was all falling into place but Emily wasn’t the type to simply bask in her success. Her mind was already working on the next step. She didn’t care about John’s love or Rachel’s approval. What she really wanted was John’s money, and once she had it, she would disappear. She imagined running away with Jack, her true love, far from this twisted family and their endless drama.

　　Her mind wandered over the details of her escape plan.
