Chapter 1236
Emily’s eyes were bright and clear. “Even though I’m not loaded, I know the value of giving back. How about I treat
you to a meal?”
“Maybe next time!” Charlie said it casually
“Alright!” Emily said it with a smile.
Seeing her innocent expression, Charlie felt a warmth in his heart and quickly looked away
As the dishes started to arrive, they began their meal. Emily’s phone started ringing just then. Seeing that it was
Gina calling, she had a good guess about the reason. Not wanting to upset Charlie, she quickly picked up her phone,
planning to step out to take the call.
“Just take it here!” Charlie seemed to have read her mind and said it casually

“Emily, what on earth did you say to the Ferber family? They just called me, they’re pissed! They said our family
lacks integrity, and they’re rethinking your brother’s marriage to Bonnie!’ Gina said immediately.
Bonnie’s uncle was hospitalized at South Hospital. When the Ferbers went to visit him, they boasted about Bonnie’s
future in-laws, saying Emily’s husband was an associate director at South Hospital, which was quite impressive.
Bonnie’s cousin then asked the Ferbers if they could help move him to the free ward. Terry promised without
hesitation, even bragging that it could be done without any review process. After that, Terry called Emily. He
thought it was a small thing, but Emily turned him down. The Ferbers were instantly dissatisfied and called Gina,
complaining that the Sullivans were full of hot air and the so-called son-in-law of South Hospital was all talk! When
Gina heard that the Ferbers might call off the wedding, she was extremely anxious. She comforted them and then
called Emily.
I can’t help the Ferbers, and I don’t want to keep lying to them!” Emily said it directly.
“How can you say it’s a lie? Isn’t Dr. Martin pursuing you? If you two end up together, it’ll be true; how can you call
it a lie?” Gina said urgently, “Besides, even if you can’t help, you could have been more tactful! Now you’ve pissed
off the Ferbers. If they call off the wedding, what are we going to do? Emily, can’t you think about your brother
before you do something?”
Gina was talking a mile a minute, and Emily’s face turned pale. She bit her lip tightly, her eyes filled with pain. “I
care about my brother, but have you ever thought about me?” “Of course we think about you, isn’t Dr. Martin
good? It’s like we’re pushing you into a fire pit!” Gina said angrily, “Call Dr. Martin now and ask him to help!”
“He can’t help, and I won’t call!” Emily said it firmly.
“Emily, are you trying to make me drop dead before you’ll be happy?
Emily was about to reply when Charlie suddenly stretched out his hand and said, “Give me the phone!”

Emily looked up, surprised to see Charlie. He was staring at her. He took the phone from her hand and put it to his
ear, saying casually, “This is Charlie.”
Gina hesitated. “Mr. James?”
Charlie’s voice was quite cold. “Is your son’s wedding important and your daughter’s life not? She doesn’t like
Martin, but you’re forcing her to marry him to please the Ferbers?”
Gina’s voice weakened. “That’s not what I meant!”
“Then why are you forcing her?” Charlie’s tone was full of authority: “Between outsiders and your own daughter,
your choice should be to protect your own daughter, right?”
Gina said awkwardly, “I just wanted to ask Emily what’s going on.”
Charlie chuckled coldly. “It seems like you’ve been blaming her since you came in, not trying to understand the
situation.”
Gina was struck by his words and couldn’t say a word.
Seeing Emily’s frowning face, Charlie swallowed his anger and softened his tone, saying, “Don’t blame Emily
anymore. I’ll take care of the Ferbers’ problem. It won’t affect Elliott’s wedding.”
