Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 227

Ines didn't want to go at all.

"Ines, you gotta make it, I want to thank you in person, but I can't get into the Base, so I have to bother you to come over." Emma said.

"Nah, you guys eat up. I'm not going." Last time she was helpless, this time she really didn't want to go.

"Ines!" Emma yelled out loud.

"Enough, I'm hanging up." Ines hung up after she said.

At the same time, Ethan got a call from the States. After the phone call, he seemed a bit dazed, his eyes dull.

After Emma hung up the phone, she noticed Shirley was giving her a cold stare. The chill in Shirley's eyes scared her. She had never seen this kind of look from her before. It seemed like Shirley's gaze had been strange for a few days, as if she was trying to control something.

"Mom, don't look at me like that, it scares me." Emma frowned.

"Why did you call Ines and invite her over? You need to know your place. You're the only daughter of the Galeana family now, Ines was kicked out by your father." Shirley seemed to be hit hard, she couldn't control her emotions, her voice involuntarily raised.

"Mom, what's going on with you?" Emma's voice was weak, but she was also worried.

Shirley took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, "I'm fine. I'm asking you, did your father ask you to invite Ines over?"

"Mom, why would Dad ask me to do that? I invited her over because she helped me that day. I told you what happened, I fell and nobody around wanted to help me. It was her who called Silas at the crucial moment, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to keep my baby." Remembering what happened that day, Emma was still a little scared, her hand covering her belly.

"Baby? You only think about the baby! Don't forget you're Ms. Emma of the Galeana family. If one day you lose this title, you'll lose everything." Shirley said.

Emma's face changed when she heard this, she stared at Shirley seriously, "Mom, do you know something? Aren't we doing well now? I think Dad still cares about me. When I almost had a miscarriage, Dad scolded Aiden."

Shirley scoffed, her cold laugh hanging in the air, "Your father is not the man I used to know. He's been running the Galeana Group for so many years, his methods are beyond our imagination. If he's nice to you, there must be a reason."

"Mom, what's going on? If you know something, tell me. We can think of a solution together. I'm really worried about you." Emma said.

Shirley didn't say anything, just gently patted her shoulder, "Don't worry, what's ours is ours, no one can take it away. I won't let us be left with nothing."

In the afternoon, Ines was playing chess with Phillip when a car sound came from outside.
