Chapter 121
“Good, at least you know what’s good for you!”
Emily lifted her foot off Rhett’s chest, her voice cold as ice. “Get lost!”
Rhett felt the murderous intent in her eyes and scrambled to his feet, running away in a panic.
He even forgot about Fallon.
Fallon watched Rhett flee, torn between staying and running away.
She glared at Violette with hatred. “It’s all your fault, you wretched woman! If it weren’t for you…”
“Rhett’s already scared off, and you still dare to stay? Do you want to get your son killed?” Emily warned with disgust.
Fallon knew Rhett better than anyone. She was well aware of how despicable he could be.
Even if she didn’t fully understand what Emily had threatened him with, anything that could scare Rhett off must be terrifying.
Fallon didn’t dare stay any longer.
Despite her earlier act of being weak and on the verge of fainting, she ran away just as fast as Rhett.
“Alright, Violette, it’s taken care of.”
Emily turned to Violette, trying to reassure her.
Violette didn’t seem very optimistic. She looked at Emily with concern. “Rhett’s a scoundrel. He might agree now, but could easily go back on his word later. Maybe Atticus and I should move out.”
Emily shook her head with a smile. “No need. As long as he behaves until Atticus gets his exam results, that’s enough. And once you get your divorce papers, I have ways to deal with him.”
Her eyes were cold and determined.
Her presence was intimidating.
Violette instinctively believed her.
Especially after how well she handled this situation, not only scaring off Rhett but also salvaging their reputation.
Violette didn’t voice any more doubts.
Emily then thanked the security and property management for their help, even donating a sum of money as a bonus.
She wasn’t particularly short on money now, so she was generous to those who helped her.

Chapter 121
Besides, living here long–term, having their assistance would save her a lot of trouble.
What Emily didn’t know was that Bianca had been watching the livestream.
Seeing Rhett and Fallon successfully manipulate public opinion, Bianca hurriedly took the video to show the Johnson family.
Bianca even had people post discussions about Emily being part of the Johnson family, which she showed to Eli.
“Dad, I thought Violette realized only we could help her. How could she regret coming to us? I didn’t expect Emily to have the money to help her. But you know, my sister is just a college student. How could she have the means to get so much money?”
“My worries have come true. You should take a look!”
Bianca handed over her phone.
The video showed Emily and Violette, followed by Rhett’s accusations and the comments from viewers.
Eli knew the neighborhood and the price of a villa there.
He didn’t have the patience to watch further. If it weren’t for the fact that the phone belonged to Bianca, he might have smashed it in
anger.
“Truly disgraceful people, shameless! Living a good life but insisting on defying us, and now seducing some man…”
Eli was so angry he nearly had a heart attack, clutching his chest and gasping for breath.
“Eli, don’t be mad. Maybe she was deceived?” Cleo quickly tried to calm him down, guessing helplessly.
Hayden was home today. He had just wrapped up a successful project and was preparing to go abroad for an inspection. He overheard the conversation in the video.

He sneered, “Who could deceive her? She’s more likely to deceive others. I’ve always said she’s no good, always ruining herself. Once my project takes off, the Johnson family’s status will skyrocket. Emily is too disgraceful to be acknowledged as part of the Johnson family.”
“Hayden, you don’t mean we should completely cut ties with Emily, do you? She can be stubborn, but we can’t just abandon her. What if she really takes it to heart? She had a tough time living alone before. If we kick her out now, how pitiful would Emily be?”
Bianca pretended to persuade, but she was subtly reminding everyone that Emily had always lived outside, a shame to the Johnson family.
Eli immediately made a decision. “They say pitiful people often have hateful traits. I think she’s picked up bad habits outside. Since she didn’t starve before, now that she’s grown up, we should sever ties before it’s publicly known she’s part of the Johnson family!”
Cleo hesitated, feeling soft–hearted. “Eli, she’s still my child. If we really sever ties, can you promise me that if she ever goes hungry, you’ll give her a meal? Even if it’s just charity to a beggar?”
“Mom, don’t worry. Even if we sever ties, I’ll keep an eye on Emily. If she really struggles, I won’t ignore her.”
Bianca quickly chimed in.
*Bianca, you’re too kind. She’s ruining herself, why bother?” Hayden disagreed.

Chapter 121
Bianca pouted. “Hayden, we’re family. It gives me peace of mind.”
“Alright, I can’t argue with you. We’ll do as you say!” Hayden softened, speaking gently.
Bianca smiled brightly. “Hayden is the best. But-”
She hesitated. “How do we notify Emily? We should at least tell her, but she’s blocked all of us, and we can’t get into where she lives.”
Eli frowned, thought for a moment, and made a decision. “Use the company’s website. This will show our determination to sever ties, and no one can exploit this. As for notifying Emily…
