As soon as the call connected, Lily's accusations came through the phone, "Emma what's wrong with you today? Mark is deeply in love with you, yet you framed him like this. Do you have any conscience for his feelings?"
"He likes you so much, you should bail him out as soon as possible. You know it well, Mark never touches things he shouldn't. Now that he's in trouble, only you can save him. Emma, you wouldn't be so heartless, would you?"
Emma raised an eyebrow, walked to the balcony with the phone in her hand, and casually replied "Of course, I'm not that heartless."
"I knew it..." Lily said.
"But what does this have to do with Mark?" Emma interrupted her, her voice indifferent.
This sentence stopped Lily in her tracks. The sudden turn of events at the Thompson family banquet was too sudden, but Lily had also figured it out by now. It was all her plan, but she didn't understand why Emma had changed her mind. Did she know something?
After a moment's pause, Lily gritted her teeth and said, "Emma,what do you mean by that? I don't know what happened between you and Mark, but he's a good man. Don't let him down. I just saw him come out, he's very sad. If you save him now, this matter can be forgotten."
Emma looked at the trees downstairs, a hint of sarcasm flashing in her eyes, but her tone softened insincerely, "If you want me to save him, it's not impossible."
Lily breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly, "I knew you wouldn't be so heartless. With your status, as long as you make a phone call, the police station will release him."
Speaking of this, Lily felt sour inside.Even though they were best friends , Emma's connections were much stronger than hers.
"But Mark still tried to frame me at my grandfather's birthday banquet and you were implicated as well. Lily, I'm not stupid. I can forgive him, but I can't let him off so easily." Emma spoke slowly, with a hint of meaning behind her words.
Lily tightened her grip on her phone and calmly said, "Emma, there must be a misunderstanding in this matter today. Don't you know how much Mark likes you? I don't know why you suddenly changed your mind today, but the most urgent matter now is to rescue Mark first."
Emma chuckled lightly and said, even if it's just for your sake, I can't just sit back and do nothing. I remember your Dad has a piece of land that he's been holding onto for a long time. Why don't you use that to exchange for Mark's release?"
Lily's heart skipped a beat and she asked suspiciously, "Land? Is it the one in the western suburbs of the city? What do you want it for?"
"I don't want to do anything with it.I just want some benefits," Emma said nonchalantly. "Mark plotted against me first, but I'll save him for your sake. It wouldn't be right if I didn't get anything in return. Let's just save him now, shall we?"
"But how did you think of that piece of land? Emma ,I have some jewelry here that my mom ordered..."
"What do I need those things for, lily? Do you think I'm lacking in those kinds of things?" Emma sneered . "If you're unwilling to give it to me, then just let Mark stay locked up!"
"I'll give it to you!"
Lily didn't know what Emma was up to and could only say tactfully, "But the land is in my Dad's hands, and I don't have the authority to make decisions. Dad went on a business trip right after he came back from Grandpa's birthday banquet . You can save Mark first, and I'll tell him what you want when he comes back. I'll give you anything you want."
"Then wait for your Dad to come back before saving him. Goodbye."
Emma said indifferently and was about to hang up the phone. Lily couldn't let her be so stubborn, so she quickly stopped her and said, "Wait a minute--"
"I can give you the land.Come to the company now to get the contract."
After hanging up the phone, she turned around and changed her clothes before heading out directly.
The western suburbs of the city were still just an ordinary piece of land that no one cared about. But Emma remembered that in her past life, it was this year when the western suburbs were going to be demolished and re-planned, with plans to build a subway and establish a new commercial district.
In her past life, she was infamous and shallow, too busy buying things to care about these things. She only remembered that after the plan was announced, it was lily who got hold of this piece of land.
Standing outside the company's building, Emma was lost in thought for a moment before walking in firmly.
When Lily returned to her office with the contract, Emma was looking around the room.
Lily had entered the Thompson's company to study as soon as she graduated. Emma had also thought about entering the company before, but Lily had told her that it was very tiring to work in the company.
There were many old hands in the company who relied on their seniority, and even she couldn't handle it. she told Emma not to come to the company to suffer, but just to live a happy life.
Because of trust, Emma in her past life never thought that there was anything wrong with these words.
Emma lifted the corners of her lips, covering up the coldness in her eyes, and turned around with a smile, "This office looks pretty good. It doesn't seem as hard to work in the company as you said."
Lily instinctively denied, "No."
Emma raised an eyebrow, "No what?"
"I just tidied up here myself. The company's under a lot of pressure, and we work day and night. You can't handle it."
Lily didn't know why Emma brought up the company, so she quickly placed the contract on the table, "This is what you wanted. Sign it and call Mark right away. He's still waiting for you!"
Emma patiently read through the contract.
Lily didn't know what she wanted to do with that piece of land, so she impatiently handed her the pen and urged her, "This is the contract that the legal department just printed out. You won't understand it anyway, so just sign it quickly!"
Emma took the pen and signed her name twice.
After signing the contract, Lily urged her to call and save the person quickly.
Emma smiled, "Don't worry, Mark will be fine."
Lily wanted to say something else, but Emma took the contract and her bag and walked out, leaving her with a livid face.
As she walked out of the office, Emma took out her phone from her bag.
The screen was on, and the recording interface still on.
She curled her lips and clicked save.
Emma never believed that Lily would give her the land so easily. From the moment she entered the office, she was on guard. As for where the problem with the contract was...
She would just wait for the fox's tail to reveal itself!
