Chapter 120
Like mother, like son! What a load of crap!” someone muttered angrily.
Rhett had just recovered from the pain and shot a sneaky glare at Violette. “Even if I messed up like every other guy, didn’t I say I cut ties with that woman? Why won’t you come back? We haven’t even gotten our divorce papers yet. You’re my wife, and you gotta come with
me.”
Emily’s face was cold as she signaled the security guards.
The scene shifted to another moment.
It showed Rhett borrowing from loan sharks, causing trouble at the villa, and even suggesting using Violette and Sofia to pay off his debts.
Emily sneered, “Your crimes go way beyond that. Considering all you’ve done, it’s a mercy we haven’t completely ruined you. And you still dare to cause trouble? Do you think someone has your back?”
Rhett’s eyes flickered.
But remembering what that person had told him, he felt more confident. “Those are all in the past. I’ve turned over a new leaf. I don’t agree to the divorce, so Violette can’t leave me. If she doesn’t listen, don’t forget we have a son. I heard he has exams coming up.”
This was all the information that person had dug up and told him.
He knew how much Violette cared about their son, Atticus, and was sure she would compromise for him.
“Rhett, he’s your son, too. Do you want to ruin him? You bastard!” Violette couldn’t help but want to slap him.
Rhett tilted his head, meeting Violette’s hand with a threat, “Go ahead, hit me. If you do, don’t blame me for being ruthless. My life is already a mess. If you can really be heartless enough to ignore Atticus!”
“You, you…” Violette trembled with anger but held back, unable to bring herself to hit him.
She knew how hard Atticus had worked for his exams. How could she let his efforts go to waste?
Emily saw that Rhett had dropped his act. No further online comments would be in his favor.
As long as Violette and Atticus weren’t affected, the purpose of this broadcast was achieved.
Now, it was her turn to act.
Emily stepped forward and turned off the live stream while Rhett was caught off guard.
Then she had the security clear the onlookers.
“You bitch, what are you doing?” Rhett realized what was happening and tried to grab the phone, but Emily kicked him aside.
Rhett dodged, feeling smug.

But Emily grabbed his arm and threw him to the ground with a shoulder throw.

She stepped on his chest, “Spill it. Who sent you to cause trouble? You can lie, but if you don’t want to end up paralyzed, you’d better
talk!”
Rhett grimaced in pain but remained defiant, “You know someone has my back. Let me go, or don’t blame me if they come after you. You’re just a woman. Be smart and let me go.”
And don’t forget, Violette hasn’t divorced me yet. If I cause a scene, Atticus’s future will be ruined. His background check won’t pass
“Emily!” Violette was desperate. For Atticus’s sake, she could endure it.
She could go back to the days of being beaten. Rhett wouldn’t dare kill her.
Once Atticus got into college, she would deal with Rhett then.
Seeing Violette waver, Rhett felt triumphant.
He even taunted Emily, “You’re just a relative. Are you really gonna meddle in our family affairs? Violette and Atticus will hate you. If i were you, I wouldn’t make such a stupid mistake.”
Emily suddenly spoke, “Do you remember your mistress and her man?”
Her quick change of topic made Rhett frown.
“What are you trying to say? Don’t change the subject. Are you really gonna interfere? You won’t regret it?”
Rhett didn’t answer directly, still trying to intimidate Emily.
Emily didn’t wait for his response and continued, “They’re not in the country anymore. As for where they went and what happened to them, it’s hard to say. If I can deal with people with connections like that, do you think you’re tough enough? Or do you think Parker, who can’t even protect himself, can protect you?”
Rhett was shocked that Emily knew about Parker. He tried to stay tough.
“I don’t believe you. Stop bluffing. You’re just a woman kept by a man. What status do you have? Do you think you can compare to Parker and his backers?”
“Parker’s backers? You mean Bianca? Do you think the Johnson family can protect you? Let me tell you, I have partnerships with the Johnson family, and I own shares in the Reyes Group and Ascend Global Group. Do you think I’m afraid of Bianca?”
“You know all that?”
Rhett’s face turned increasingly fearful.
Emily continued, “I know what you know and what you don’t. If you don’t believe me, call Parker and see what his situation is.”
Rhett hesitated.
But seeing Emily’s calm expression, he felt uneasy.

Finally, Rhett couldn’t resist and called Parker.
Parker answered quickly.

Rhett felt a moment of relief, thinking Emily was bluffing. But then, “Mr. Green, I was wrong. I’ll never do it again. Please spare me…
The agonized voice on the phone was heart–wrenching.
That was Parker.
If he were in such pain, it must have been a terrifying ordeal.
Rhett trembled, his face pale.
But he was unwilling to give up.
He could have earned half a million dollars and gotten rid of Violette, living a carefree life.
