When Emily was in, Mrs. Donna had just finished coughing. Her face was rather pale.
"Sit down." Her voice was low as if she was afraid of disturbing someone, or she was too weak to speak aloud.
Emily sat on the chair. On the table was the contract that Elsie had stolen to get stamped. She knew that Mrs. Donna had come for it, but she didn't need to get it back at once.
She could get the Britt Group back without relying on anyone. Her dad had cherished it so much. She would not give his lifetime work to anyone.
But she was shocked that Jackson could give the contract back to Mrs. Donna. It meant Mrs. Donna was very important to him.
Therefore, he hated what she distasted for.
"I'm sorry..." Mrs. Donna was seriously sick. She couldn't say too much as it would make her cough. "I didn't know he did such things ... I'm sorry. It seemed I'm saying this to pull myself out of these things."
Before she coughed again, Emily asked, "Why didn't you come to me?"
