Mr. Collins didn't expect Emma to call. Knowing that she would come in the afternoon, he had told the servants to prepare the cakes she liked.
She had loved sweets since she was young, and her smile was sweet.
"If only that girl were our granddaughter-in-law." But unfortunately, his sons were all trash, even Daniel, who was lucky enough to become rich, could not compare.
Hmm, it was a pity to let such a good girl slip away.
---
"Dad, are you going out today?" Rylie Collins asked curiously.
Mr. Collins changed into his best suit and tied his tie very neatly. This made his daughter even more curious.
"Not going anywhere, Emma is coming soon. She said she wanted to interview me, so I can't dress sloppily; I have to dress neatly so as not to embarrass her."
Rylie: "..."
Alright, she had long suspected that she and her brothers were not his biological children. Otherwise, why would he look down on his family like that?
"Hurry up and help me see, does this tie match this suit? Does it look good on camera?"
Rylie praised, "Dad, this suit makes you look ten years younger."
"Is that so? Okay, okay, then wear this." Mr. Collins was delighted.
His good mood continued until Emma arrived.
"Hello, sir, I'm disturbing your lunch break today."
The old man pretended to frown at her: "What are you talking about? You're not disturbing me. I wish you came to see me every day. Now, Emma, what do you want to interview me about?"
The person accompanying Emma was Terrence, still in shock. Of course, he had also interviewed many big figures, but only in public press conferences.
The last time he interviewed a celebrity, he had to rely on all the connections he had made in half his life to get the chance.
But at this moment, the founder of the Collins Group was sitting in front of them, smiling brightly at them, ready to answer any questions. This made Terrence extremely surprised.
He even began to doubt: "Miss Emma, are you a powerful young woman who came to work at our company just to experience the life of a worker?"
Emma did not know that Terrence had such rich thoughts. She quickly stopped greeting and switched to work mode.
Terrence also gradually focused.
Throughout the afternoon, the old man of the Collins family recounted the early days of starting a business until building the Collins empire today. His lively and attractive voice made both Emma and Terrence listen with fascination.
When the interview ended, Emma smiled sweetly: "Sir, today's process was very interesting. We will rewrite it carefully, then send it to you for review before publishing."
The old man waved his hand: "No need, Emma, I believe you."
But in his heart, he thought he would keep the magazine containing this interview. This was an article written by his beloved child, like his own grandchild, worth framing, cherishing, and occasionally taking out to read again.
Terrence realized that the old man wanted to continue chatting with Emma, so he tactfully asked permission to leave first.
The old man immediately asked, "Emma, I heard it. You have to be honest with me, don't lie to me. Are you going to divorce Daniel?"
Emma warmed her heart: "Yes, we are divorced."
"What? He suggested it? He dares?" The old man immediately spoke up, his voice full of anger.
Emma knew that the old man had a history of high blood pressure, so she quickly supported him and patted his back: "Don't be angry, I proposed a divorce, I applied myself. Don't worry, I won't suffer any loss."
"How can you not suffer any loss?" The old man glared: "You are so good, yet you waste your time with him. I respected you very much before, cooperating with your family, but now I don't need them anymore. I will immediately call my eldest son and tell him to stop cooperating with Daniel's family. From now on, the Collins family and their family will have nothing to do with each other."
At this moment, Emma almost burst into tears: "Sir..."
The old man looked at her, saw her red eyes, and immediately felt heartache: "Silly girl, don't cry anymore, crying over that kind of man is not worth it. You two are already divorced, look at my grandson..."
"..."
The tears that had just welled up in the corners of Emma's eyes were swallowed back: "Sir, actually... I've remarried."
"What?" The old man was stunned. "My granddaughter-in-law was taken away by someone else again?"
"Who is that brat this time?"
Emma suddenly wasn't sure if Alex wanted to make their relationship public.
"He's just an ordinary person. But he's very good, don't worry, I won't let myself suffer any more losses this time."
"Normal? How ordinary?" The old man looked dissatisfied. "Is he an ordinary person with a monthly salary of only eighteen thousand?"
Emma was silent. During her internship, she had never received that salary, and she suddenly felt that there was another generation gap between her and this old man.

Emma and Terrence worked all night, finished the article on time, and knocked on the director's door on time the next morning.
Director Aaron looked at them suspiciously: "Did you two really interview the Collins family yesterday?"
"Yes, we have a recording. If you don't believe it, you can check it yourself."
Director Aaron forced a smile: "Sit down, Emma. You are young but have a very strong will to fight. I really like interns like you. But hey, you coming to Sterling Group with me this afternoon will not affect this interview at all. Both of our articles will attract attention, isn't it a win-win situation?"
Emma's eyes immediately turned cold: "Director, you promised me yesterday, if I did a better interview, I wouldn't have to go."
Director Aaron didn't expect her to do that. But if he could get his hands on both interviews with two important people, he would definitely laugh for a month.
"Emma, you're young, you have to consider the pros and cons of everything you do. This interview is in your name; it's also beneficial to you. I don't mean to harm you."
But just thinking about Daniel using his power to force her, Emma definitely couldn't agree.
"I understand."
Emma left the office, leaving Director Aaron to breathe a sigh of relief.
The stubborn intern finally understood.
---
Returning to her seat, Emma turned on the computer and typed her resignation letter.
She thought she could be officially accepted, but Director Aaron's way of doing things was unacceptable to her. This might be beneficial to the company, but it was completely disadvantageous to her. She was not selfless enough to bow to that man for an interview.
---
Daniel adjusted his clothes, then told his assistant to go with him to Crown Holdings.
At 1 pm, Director Aaron went to call someone, unexpectedly receiving a resignation letter.
He couldn't believe it: "Emma, what are you going to do?"
Everyone around was surprised, even Terrence was surprised, immediately ran over: "Emma, follow me for a moment."
Emma shook her head: "Thank you. I will not forget what you helped me with before. But the environment of Crown Holdings may not be suitable for me, so I'm sorry, I have to quit."
"..."
Director Aaron was so angry that he was speechless. It turned out that this girl was so stubborn, wanting to use her final move.
"Emma, don't be impatient. The environment at Crown Holdings is very good; how could it not be suitable? Stop joking, come with me to Sterling Group now..."
The receptionist stammered and announced, "General Manager, General Manager Daniel has just arrived."
As soon as he entered, Daniel saw her in the crowd and immediately said, "Emma, I'm here."
Emma didn't even bother to glance at him: "Director Aaron, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first."
She didn't turn around, tightly hugging the pile of personal belongings that she had prepared, glancing at the dark figure blocking her way: "Please move aside."
Daniel didn't understand: "Why?"
"I've already quit. General Manager Daniel, please find someone else to interview." She coldly smiled and turned to leave.
The text message in her pocket rang; she took out her phone to check.
Alex: *"Let's go get our wedding rings tonight. I'll pick you up?"*
She smiled and replied, "Okay, it's okay now. I'm free."
After a few seconds, Daniel ran after her to the elevator, blocking her way: "What? Do you hate me so much that you have to quit your job?"
"Yes," Emma replied firmly. "Get out of my way, don't get in my way. My husband is waiting downstairs to take me to buy my wedding ring."
