Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 249

Emma stormed out of the chairman's office, trying to reach Shirley on the phone, but it kept ringing incessantly. After a few tries, Shirley even switched off her phone.

With a slight frown, she knew her mom was ticked off because of the events of the day. But it was an emergency, she had to hightail it home.

The moment she stepped in through the door, the living room looked like it had been hit by a tornado, with broken antique vases and shards of glass scattered everywhere. Even the LCD TV had a hole in it. The whole room was a hot mess.

It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that this was Shirley's doing, no one else would go off the deep end like this.

She went upstairs to look for her, but Shirley was nowhere to be found in the house. Finally, she spotted a maid poking her head out of a room, "Where's my mom?"

"Ms. Emma, she came home in a huff, wrecked the place, and then stormed out. Seems like she went to the garden," the maid informed.

Emma went outside and immediately spotted Shirley in the garden. She was frantically uprooting every flower in the garden and stomping on them. The garden was filled with a strong fragrance of flowers.

"Mom, what on earth are you doing? What's the point of all this?"

"Your father was a real piece of work, had me all figured out from the start. The marriage certificate he gave me was a fake, how do you expect me not to be mad? I thought I was the lady of the Galeana family. Turns out it was all a sham. He made my life a living hell. I'm going to destroy that woman and everything he loves," Shirley vented angrily.

Emma knew that this garden was Ines' mother's favorite thing. Many of the flowers were planted by her. Hunter cherished this place, and Eda took care of it every day, ensuring that very few flowers died over the years.

Shirley's eyes were red as she continued to stomp on the flowers like they were her archenemies. Only by crushing them could she quell the hatred in her heart.

Due to her pregnancy, Emma didn't dare to step forward, she could only plead from the side, "Mom, please calm down, I have something very important to tell you."

"Don't call me mom, I don't have a daughter like you." Shirley growled at Emma, deeply disappointed in her daughter.

"Mom, dad left another will, you better get your hands on the will you have now or it'll be too late." Seeing that Shirley was far from calming down and continuing to ignore her pleas, Emma had no choice but to yell at her.

Shirley didn't stop what she was doing, Emma continued, "Mom, the first will was made when Ines just came back, it has nothing to do with Jasmine, can't you think of your granddaughter for once?"

Shirley suddenly stopped, she looked at Emma, "What did you just say?"
