Chapter 1253 Seeing Beryl (1/2)
Emily's eyes turned red, and her voice trembled. ”It's really you...”
Estelle's heart ached. ”I'm sorry, I let you down. It's all my fault. I will accept any punishment from you.”
Hearing this, Emily closed her eyes. So what if she punished her? Now, punishment meant nothing. What distressed her most was not the losses incurred by the company, but that the person she had trusted the most had betrayed her from the very beginning. She had treated Estelle with great love and compassion, but Estelle had made a fool of her.
What was even more horrible was that perhaps Beryl, Emily's daughter, had also been kidnapped by this woman whom she had trusted so much...
”Did you…kidnap Beryl?”
”No, no, I didn't mean to get Beryl involved in this!” Estelle hastily denied, but then she explained, ”But I had no choice. I'm just an insignificant chess piece in Ethan's hand. My family is still under his control, and our lives and prospects are in his hands. I really couldn't do anything about it...”
Before she finished speaking, Estelle choked on her sobs. Although she had been confused and manipulated at that time, she had just wanted to complete the task assigned to her by Ethan. She had never wanted to hurt Beryl. Although she had tried her best, she had still been unable to stop Beryl from being taken away...
”Just stop talking!” Emily shouted at Estelle, who was lamenting sadly.
The safety of her three children was her bottom line. Therefore, Estelle had crossed the line that she would never allow anyone to breach.
Jacob held Emily, who was trembling in anger. After she finished speaking, he gestured to the people behind him, and then, two men stepped forward from both sides to lift Estelle up.
Despite this, there was no fear on Estelle's face. She seemed to have accepted that she was guilty.
As she was about to be dragged away, Emily finally couldn't help but say, ”Let her go.”
