Chapter 273 Marital Tacit Understanding Walking to a secluded corner, Emily picked up a glass of juice and softly said to Michael. "We need to be extra careful today, Roger's intentions are still unclear." Michael nodded in agreement, knowing that Emily's judgment was always so accurate. He trusted her intuition even more.
Around them, speople began to whisper, obviously curious and uneasy about the couple's appearance. Emily and Michael maintained their composure and elegance, as if everything was under control.
Before long, someone approached with a glass of wine, smiling broadly, saying they wanted to toast Michael. The woman was wearing a bright green sequin dress, which made her stand out awkwardly among them, but she looked very young, about the sage as Veda.
However, she exuded a strong worldly air, with her big wavy curls, fiery red lips, and smiling eyes, full of charm, clearly a regular in social circles.
Seeing this, Emily wanted to politely step aside, but the woman pulled her back. "Mrs. Smith, no need to be so polite, con, let's have a drink together. Although we didn't know each other before, we can get to know each other over a drink today!" "I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Tiana Thompson, a fashion designer. I've collaborated with Smith Corporation a few times before and am an old friend of Michael's!" Considering Tiana's odd sense of style, her identity as a fashion designer, her being an old friend of Michael's, and the eagerness she showed towards him, Emily couldn't help but glance at Michael beside her.
Seeing his indifferent expression, Emily quickly concluded that this was just another "friend" Michael didn't really associate with.

You two go ahead and chat, it's fine." With that, Emily pretended to be considerate, helping Michael adjust his bow tie, and continued. "I'll be waiting for you in the lounge, cfindlater." At that moment, Michael was immersed in the pleasure of Emily calling him her husband.
To be honest, he truly felt what it meant to be a husband at that moment.
"Okay, I got it." A slight smile finally appeared on Michael's usually indifferent face.
He knew this was Emily subtly urging him to quickly finish the business talk and cfind her, so he wouldn't have to stand there pretending to socialize.
Emily turned and left, her sexy shoulder blades catching Michael's gaze.
For the first time, Michael realized how fascinated he was with Emily.
Tiana, seeing Michael's eyes almost glued to Emily, couldn't help but feel a bit jealous.
She lightly coughed twice, trying to attract Michael's attention.
After all, there were rumors online that these two were just putting on a show, and how could a playboy like Michael fall for a plain, clueless country girl.

And Emily, well, she was just an ordinary passerby, someone who had never seen the world, and was lucky to marry into Emerald City.
"Ms. Thompson, do you have a cold?" Michael suddenly interjected.
Tiana was momentarily taken aback, only to hear Michael continue. "My wife isn't feeling well, and if you have a cold, it's not appropriate to be near her." "I..." Tiana had experienced Michael's rudeness before, so being suddenly rebuffed like this today, she could only smile awkwardly without getting angry.
She raised her lass, smiling as she clinked it, and they could still exchange a few words.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut Michael clearly had no intention of continuing the conversation. As he spoke, he kept glancing at Emily, eager to leave even though they had only been apart for less than three minutes. "Ms. Thompson, I need to go find my wife. The project you mentioned isn't suitable for Smith Corporation, please seek someone else." Finally, Tiana couldn't hold back.
She had gone to great lengths to get in front of the highly regarded Michael couple, thinking that the Thompson family and the Smith family were old friends, and that Michael and Emily would respect her. But first, Emily made an excuse to leave, and then Michael...
Seeing people occasionally glancing over, Tiana couldn't help but feel anxious.
She smiled, but her words were sharp. "Michael, why are you in such a hurry? Do you really think Smith Corporation is so attractive? Qum Thompson family is willing to collaborate with you repeatedly, so you should be grateful for these business opportunities! Do you know how many people in Emerald City rack their brains to associate with the Thompson family, to be friends!"

"And your ignorant wife, she's just favored by the Watson family, working under Penelope! Penelope is about to leave the Watson family, let alone a small jewelry director? What benefits can she get from the Watson family? She's just pretending to be an upper-class person..." Tiana's words cout like bullets from a machine gun, rapid and continuous. Michael didn't bother to respond, but when Tiana mentioned Emily, his expression suddenly changed, and his lips pressed down instantly. "Are you done?" Even Emily, resting not far away, saw this scene clearly.
Tiana said, "I..." "I'm sorry, Ms. Thompson, my mother is calling, she wants Michael to take the call, excuse us." Before Tiana could speak again, Emily quickly stepped forward.
She wanted to pull Michael away to avoid any further conflict, considering this was Roger's party, and if Michael е caused a scene before Roger even appeared, it would give people more reason to criticize him, leading to negative media coverage, which would harm Michael's reputation and, by extension, Smith Corporation's reputation, which were the things Mason valued most. Thinking of this, Emily hurried to find an excuse to pull Michael away.
For this, she had even cleverly changed Abigail's contact nto "Mom."
But Emily didn't expect that while Tiana was silenced, Michael wouldn't let it go. Fortunately, he lowered his voice, and only she and Tiana could feel the intensity. "My wife is the Senior Operations Director at d Jewelry, a a position which depends on her talent rather than the Watson family's support. Besides, she doesn't need to rely on anyone else, because at M she is already my wife, the mistress of the Smith family." "And if you don't understand the influence of JM Jewelry in Emerald City, I suggest you go hand look it up online, and while you're at it, check which is more ridiculous: a deserving Senior Operations Director or someone born into a wealthy family, who can't even draw a picture but is labeled a fashion designer."
