Chapter 238
“Emily, let’s go,” Austin whispered in Emily’s car.
They had done what they came to do, and the drama was winding down. There was no reason for them to stick around. Emily pulled her gaze away and nodded. She and Austin slipped out of the hotel unnoticed.
No one noticed them leaving, except for one person: Jeremy.
The moment Yvonne rushed over and confronted Emily, Jeremy immediately knew Emily was behind everything that happened.
He didn’t care about whatever grudge Yvonne and Emily had, but if their drama dragged the Windrose family into it, that was something he absolutely couldn’t tolerate.
Jeremy’s eyes were still glued to Emily’s retreating figure when, in the next instant, the reporters and gossip-hungry onlookers snapped back to reality and swarmed around him and Walter.
“Mr. Zwick, are those videos real? Do you admit to bribing the principal?”
“Mr. Windrose, as Yvonne’s boyfriend, did you know what kind of person she is?”
“Were you aware of Yvonne bullying her classmates?”

Since Emily decided to get revenge for Quiana, she couldn’t let all that end up as empty noise. So that very day, she had people keep a close watch on Walter and Jeremy, just in case they tried to make a move.
As Emily had predicted, everything exploded online. Livestream clips, event breakdowns, and insider exposés came pouring in one after another. With paid posters Emily had secretly set loose, the news took over the trending feeds.
It was harder than ever for the Zwick family to pull any strings to get Yvonne out of trouble. The only card they had left to play was Jeremy.
But what neither Walter nor Emily expected was that a week went by, and Jeremy hadn’t made any move. Forget about trying to pull any strings for Yvonne; he was busy making moves to distance himself from the Zwick family.
With the Zwick family caught up in such a scandal, it was natural for Jeremy to want to cut ties. Still, Emily couldn’t shake

the feeling that something about that just wasn’t right.
She remembered overhearing Jeremy and Yvonne’s conversation at the hotel. The Zwick family clearly had some serious dirt on Jeremy, and there’s no way they wouldn’t use it.
