Lily followed closely behind and took a glance at her and Mark before saying directly, "Emma ,is what you're doing good for the reputation of the matthew family? Even if you have a bad relationship with your husband, you can't cuckold him..."
Although Emma's face was blank, she found it both funny and annoying in her heart. She had never realized that Lily was such a good actress. It was a pity that she didn't go into the entertainment industry.
But the stage set up for her today was quite good!
Lily said, "Emma, although I'm just a friend and shouldn't interfere, what you're doing is really not right..."
"What are you talking about? I don't understand,"Emma interrupted Lily's hesitant words and pretended to look at her and Evelyn with suspicion, "Mom, what are you doing here?"
"How can you still ask me what I'm doing here!" Evelyn was so angry that her face turned pale. She glared at Emma and scolded, "If I didn't come, how would I know that you have such an ability to use your connections to save this punk and get entangled with him? Emma, our Matthew family has never done anything wrong to you!"
Her words were too heavy, causing everyone around who was already listening to the gossip to look over involuntarily.
Lily's lips curved slightly without a trace. When she looked up, she saw Emma staring at her coldly.
Emma's eyes were very beautiful, and her brown pupils looked like they had natural contact lenses. When she stared at people coldly, there was an indescribable intimidating feeling.
If someone carefully compared it, they would find that it was very similar to the way Ethan looked at people coldly.
Of course, Lily didn't think that far at the moment. She just bit her lip and whispered, "Emma, don't be angry. Auntie is also doing it for your own good."
Emma snorted lightly, her eyes coldly staring at her as she asked, "Did you tell her?"
Lily was taken aback. "What?"
Emma said, "Our matter with Mark,and what she just said."
Lily frowned imperceptibly, feeling that something was wrong. She instinctively denied, "Emma ,I didn't say anything. I was just accompanying Aunt Evelyn to go shopping and drink coffee. We just happened to pass by here and saw you guys..."
At this point, Lily seemed to feel embarrassed and looked at Emma, Mark,and then "secretly" at Evelyn.
Evelyn stared at Emma as if she was looking at her enemy, ignoring what Lily was doing.
Lily lowered her voice and asked loudly enough for everyone to hear, "By the way, how did Mark get out? I remember..."
She only said half of her sentence and then covered her lips, looking like she was apologizing to Emma.
Emma didn't speak, and Mark took over, "Emmy helped me get out."
Lily exclaimed, covering her mouth, "What? Is it true? Emma, you're too confused!"
Mark's eyebrows jumped.
At this moment, not only did Emma feel that Lily was acting, but Mark also realized how good she was at acting.
But this was planned in advance. Mark went along with it and said, "Emmy helped me get out this time. She asked me to meet her here and said she had something to tell me."
This made Evelyn so angry that she was trembling and pointing at Emma. "You, you're too reckless!"
Emma raised her eyebrows and looked at Mark ,pretending to be puzzled.
Mark gave her a guilty look and whispered, "Emmy ,you told me that there was a misunderstanding between us, otherwise you wouldn't have let me go to jail. Now that I'm out, between us..."
He had a look of deep affection, but his stuttering and stammering made Emma feel nauseous. Not only did he want to lead her astray, but he also wanted to manipulate her feelings. Emma sneered inwardly, realizing how foolish she must have looked in Mark's eyes.
"What do we have between us?" Emma interrupted Mark bluntly stating, "You've been talking this whole time, Mark. Don't spout nonsense."
Lily's eyes lit up with joy as she exchanged a glance with Emma.
"Emmy,are you denying our feelings for each other?" Mark immediately asked. "You said you liked me. I know I can't compare to the power of the Matthew family, but we have memories together! Let's forget about the misunderstanding from last time, but today, you need to make a choice. Who do you choose? I can leave with you right now..."
As he spoke, he reached out to grab Emma's hand, but his arm was left empty. Emma turned her head to see Ethan suddenly appear by her side.
Ethan grabbed her hand tightly, his grip so strong that it felt like he could crush her wrist.
"Ethan!" Evelyn exclaimed excitedly, "You came just in time to see this woman's true colors!"
Emma instinctively looked at Ethan. His eyes were deep, sharp, and intimidating, as if he could see right through her. His gaze seemed to pierce through her entire being.
He asked coldly, "What's going on?"
Emma's eyes flickered slightly, hiding the emotions in her heart. She struggled for a moment but couldn't break free from Ethan's tight grip on her wrist.
"Ethan, she rescued this punk from the police station behind your back. When Lily and I caught her meeting with him here, she denied it!"
Evelyn couldn't wait to speak up: "What use is there in keeping such a woman? She has brought shame to our Matthew family. Even if you like her, you should consider the bigger picture!
Ethan's eyes narrowed slightly.
Lily remained silent on the side, but nodded in agreement, looking troubled.
Mark spoke up: "Emmy and I are serious!"
Ethan turned to Emma: "Is this what you said to me about an important matter that needs to be dealt with?"
His face was as cold as ice, and his gaze at Emma was full of suspicion.
