After Having a Dream, I Became Pregnant with a Billionaire’s Child -
Chapter 268 - 262
Chapter 268: Chapter 262
Nana Ross had a face painted like a flower, making her look especially embarrassed at this moment.
She hurriedly turned around and said with a slightly ingratiating tone,
"Miss Parker, I was just joking just now.
I wouldn’t dare to ask you to pay."
Nana knew very well that Emily Parker’s signature held remarkable power, and if she truly offended her, the Ross’ Residence might really go bankrupt.
"That won’t do, my wife isn’t the kind of person to take advantage of others."
Carlos spoke up before Emily could, inserting his hands in his pockets and walking up to Nana Ross,
"One million, is it? Give me your bank account number,
His tone was relaxed, as if this amount was just a drop in the bucket.
Emily just glanced at him faintly; Carlos, that guy, had a smile that was exceedingly handsome.
Nana Ross was completely bewildered by his look. Staring at his face infatuatedly, her mind was totally unclear, and she muddily uttered her bank account number.
Carlos took out his phone to transfer money, and with a ding on Nana Ross’s phone, the money was in her account.
The eyes of those classmates behind them were almost bulging, seeing one million casually given away, the scene was too shocking.
"Emily Parker is actually the general manager of the Carter Clan, she really married into a wealthy family?"
One female classmate whispered in astonishment, full of envy in her tone.
"Could it be that the person in front of us is Young Master Carter?"
Another classmate couldn’t help guessing.
"Her husband is both handsome and rich, Emily Parker is really lucky!"
Someone couldn’t help but express such a sentiment.
"I think he’s way better than Adam Willow."
As soon as these words came out, there was another wave of quiet agreement around them.
The female classmates’ gazes at Emily Parker were filled with envy and jealousy.
Sophie Parker bit her lip in anger, muttering softly,
"Young Master Carter, he’s just a figurehead."
The look in her eyes was full of defiance.
Adam Willow remained silent, but his eyes, hidden behind his gold-rimmed glasses, flickered with an elusive light, as if pondering something.
Nana Ross, seeing the money had arrived, beamed with smiles and said respectfully,
"Thank you very much, Miss Parker and Young Master Carter."
As she spoke, she kept nodding and bowing, appearing especially cautious.
The class president, seeing the matter resolved, breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over, enthusiastically saying,
"Everyone, stop standing around, I’ve asked the waiter to add a seat, let’s sit down and eat."
He spoke while busily arranging the seating, specially placing Emily Parker and Carlos at the head of the table, showing extreme warmth and attentiveness.
Evelyn Hanson, however, was a bit dissatisfied, pulling on Emily’s arm and speaking with some frustration,
"Emily, you really gave her 1 million, that’s one million!"
She glared at Carlos, with a look of disappointment,
"Your husband is really just like the rumors, a spendthrift!"
Emily merely gave a mysterious smile, her eyes showing a hint of deeper meaning,
"I won’t stay for dinner, I’m leaving after watching the show."
Evelyn was baffled, about to ask what show, when suddenly the room door was pushed open, and several policemen came in, their expressions serious as they scanned the room.
"Who here is Nana Ross?
We received a report, you are suspected of extortion of 1 million."
The policeman’s voice was stern and forceful, instantly freezing the atmosphere in the room.
Nana Ross was about to sit down, but trembled violently upon hearing this, her smile instantly frozen.
She stood up in panic, eyes full of confusion,
"I am Nana Ross.
Officer, surely there’s a mistake?
I didn’t commit extortion..."
She certainly knew that extortion, if involving a huge amount, could mean a sentence of three to ten years in prison.
Just as she said that, she suddenly remembered the one million she just received and hastily added,
"I did receive 1 million, but that’s compensation from Miss Parker for staining my clothes!
If you don’t believe me, you can ask the classmates present, they all saw it."
All around, the classmates looked at each other, all with faces of confusion.
Only Carlos, leaning back in his chair, leisurely sipped his tea, knowing it wasn’t easy to get money from his wife.
"Miss Parker, please explain to the police, it’s all a misunderstanding!"
Nana Ross, anxious, sought help from Emily Parker with a tone that conveyed flattery.
However, Emily went straight to the police, her tone calm,
"Officer, I’m the one who called the police.
This Miss Nana Ross threatened me, saying if I didn’t pay, she would put me in jail."
She succinctly recounted the incident, her gaze coldly sweeping over the woman opposite.
"Emily Parker, stop distorting the truth here!"
Nana Ross said through gritted teeth, not caring about maintaining her flattery towards her "golden client" anymore,
"You clearly stained my clothes, and this outfit is all branded, the price is evident!"
"This outfit is an international brand Coco’s limited edition, some people have never even seen it."
Sophie Parker sneered softly, her gaze intentionally scanning Emily Parker’s attire, silently mocking,
"Emily, even if you married into a wealthy family by being pregnant, so what, you’re just a bumpkin."
"Officer, you heard it too.
Emily Parker filed a false report, wasting police resources, such people should be detained for education."
Nana Ross, hearing the police, immediately displayed a smug expression, as if she had something on Emily Parker, her tone laced with schadenfreude.
Yet Emily remained unhurried, her tone calm and assured,
"If what I stained were truly limited edition clothes, I’d compensate.
But what you wear is counterfeit, not a real limited edition."
Her gaze revealed a sliver of clarity, as if already predicting Nana Ross’s reaction.
Upon hearing this, Nana Ross’s eyes flickered slightly, revealing a hint of guilt.
But she quickly regained composure, her eyes resting on the old reusable bag in Emily’s hand, confident that Emily couldn’t possibly know her outfit was fake, she immediately regained her confidence.
She sneered,
"You say I wear counterfeits?
What evidence do you have?
Could you possibly get Coco’s client records as evidence?"
Nana felt smug inside, knowing Coco is currently one of the world’s hottest well-known brands, and its designer Ms. Coco is a renowned design master.
Coco company strictly keeps customer records confidential, their clients are either rich or noble, being an international fashion giant, even the police can’t get its sales records easily.
Saying this, Nana glanced at Emily with eyes full of challenge, as if saying,
"Go ahead, show me the evidence."
Emily took out her phone, preparing to make a call, and Carlos also stood up, speaking calmly as he walked to the police,
"Evidence, right? What a coincidence, I actually have it. The evidence is in our villa."
