From Ruin She Rose novel Chapter 414

Chapter 414

Emily once didn’t want to bother with the Bennett family, but she’d changed her mind. After work that day, Emily stopped avoiding Emma and took the initiative to approach her.

Emma had expected to be ignored again, so she never expected Emily to come up to her out of the blue.

After a moment of stunned silence, Emma stood up, twisting her fingers nervously, looking both awkward and on edge. “Emily…”

Emily’s expression was calm. “Mrs. Bennett, haven’t you been wanting to see me? Well, here I am. What do you want to say?”

Since it was just after work, the place was crowded with people coming and going. When they saw Emma and Emily standing together, almost everyone couldn’t help but gossip.

Some pretended to just walk by, others acted like they were chatting with friends, but all of them were watching and listening in, eager to catch every bit of drama.

Normally, Emma hated having all eyes on her, especially when it was just a bunch of regular company staff watching her every move. But since Emily was finally willing to talk to her, nothing else mattered to Emma anymore.

Emily’s tone was icy. “Is that all you wanted to say, Mrs. Bennett?”

Emma was surprised by Emily’s attitude, her expression wounded. “Emily, are you still blaming me?

“It was my fault before, but I was led astray by others. I didn’t do all those things to hurt you out of my own will. I want to make it up to you. Can you give Mom a chance to be forgiven?”

Emma was frozen in place, her face turning ghostly pale. For a long moment, she couldn’t get a single word out. She had no idea Emily had suffered so much pain and injustice.

Emma opened her mouth; but after a long struggle, she forced out, “Why did you never tell me? If you had just said something.

“And if I had, would you have believed me, Mrs. Bennett?” Emily cut her off. “I’ve told you the same thing over and over, but

did you ever believe me? Not even once. No, you never did. The only one you ever believed was Lydia.

“Even when I showed you hard evidence to prove I was innocent, it still couldn’t compare to a single tear from Lydia. She cries once, and you’d rather see me bleed just to make it up to her.
