Chapter 95 Zachary was the caller, and Trevor had asked him to do it. He wanted Zachary to call him at a certain
time, since he knew the dinner would not end well. He took the call and said, “Thanks.”
Zachary drawled, “No prob.” He then said, “Thomas‘ good friends with the deputy mayor. He oversees
all things cultural. Your company‘s gonna find it hard to expand
now.”
Every movie and show had to be authorized after they were produced. Bateson Group Films would be
hard pressed to move forward if Thomas tried to sabotage them. Trevor knew that, of course. As he
walked out of the restaurant, he said coldly, “This is not my father‘s generation. The company doesn‘t
have to rely on anyone or anything to survive.”
Out of the three heads of the Bateson Family, Jared was the worst of them all. Trevor‘s grandfather
was capable and ruled with an iron fist, but his son was incompetent. He was not cul out to be a leader
or a decision maker. To make things worse, he was a casanova, and he had lots of affairs too. That
particular one was blown out of proportion because he wanted to get a divorce. Alice ignored most of
his other women. Because of his weakness, he had to rely on some people to keep the company safe
when he was in charge.
Trevor was the best leader out of the three, He was as capable as his grandfather, and he was cunning
enough by himself. The company expanded rapidly under him, and he was confident in himself. He

Zachary gasped. “Wow. You‘re really going all out, huh?”
Trevor said calmly, “I‘m not the type to be controlled.” He had come to the entrance, and he looked at
Thomas‘ car coldly. A hint of rage surfaced in his eyes. “Time for us young people to take over.”
“True.” Zachary laughed heartily. “Time for those old gits to retire.” He was annoyed by how suffocating
those old guys could get. Trying to dictate who we should marry is too much. He was thinking about
himself and Trevor. He then invited Trevor, “I bet you haven‘t had dinner yet. Wanna grab a bite
cogether?”
Trevor refused, “No.”
Zachary snorted. “Trying to see Emma again?”
“Alright, that‘s it.” Trevor hung up and drove away. It depends on Thomas now. If he and Crystal can
accept that I don‘t want anything to do with her, then we can still be friends. But if they refuse, then I
won‘t hold back. He did not mind destroying Thomas‘ backers either.
He would not let anyone control him.
The ladies were still happily having dinner in Susanna‘s house when Cerys heard a car passing by.
She asked, “Say, will Mr. Zurich come here again?”
The last time he was here, he cared about Emma a lot. As Trevor‘s assistant, Cerys thought that was
annoying. She hoped Wesley would not come again, or she would worry for her boss.
Susanna teased, “Someone‘s nervous. Do you like him?”
“No!” Cerys denied.
Susanna chuckled. She had no idea why Cerys asked that. She was just teasing her.
The mention of Wesley made Emma look outside nervously as well. She did not want Wesley to come.
Ever since he confessed to her, she had no idea how to deal with him.
Susanna cocked her eyebrow. “Why are you nervous too, Emma?”
Emma sighed and told the ladies about the confession.
Susanna looked calm, as if she knew this would happen. Cerys was worried though. “He confessed to
you?”
I have to tell the boss about this.
Emma sighed. “Yeah. Gave me a scare.”
Susanna took another bite out of her meau “I told you he has a crush on you. My eyes are magic.” She
asked, “Why don‘t you date him then?”
Before Emma could say anything, Cerys glanced at Susanna and said, “You can‘t force this.” Cerys
thought love should be the basis of any relationship. Emma doesn‘t love Wesley. You can‘t match them
up just like that.
“Well, you can grow love bit by bit.” Susanna patted her chest. “I tried it before. Just cling around and
never take no for an answer. It works. Emma, just try to date him. Maybe he‘ll be the best partner for
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou.”
Before Cerys could say anything, Emma relorted, “I tried that before, and see what happened.”
Susanna did that to Connor. She refused to take no for an answer, and she managed to make him fall
for her hard. Emma tried that before. She would not take no for an answer and tried to build up the love
in her relationship with Trevor, but in the end, all she got was a divorce and no love. All she did was
hurt herself.
Susanna opened her mouth, but she couldn‘t say anything for a moment. “All I can say is you met the
right person at the wrong time.”
She met the right person at the wrong time, hul? Cerys thought that was a little sad.
Emma nodded in agreement. “True.” Her phone rang, but when she saw the text, a frown furrowed her
brows.
Trevor texted her, ‘Are you out?‘
She was in disbelief, and she thought, Wait. Is he al my place now? Whal is he doing? She gave it
some thought and texted back, ‘Susanna‘s back. Cerys and I are at her place. What do you need?‘
Trevor had been waiting outside Emma‘s place for a while now. When he saw the reply, he gnashed his
teeth. She went for a gathering right afier she came back from Cerys‘ place? She knows how to have
fun, huh?
After he left the restaurant, he felt like having her ramen. It was fine even if it was just a bowl of plain
ramen without any garnish or seasoning. The thought slowly turned into an obsession, so he drove to
her place, but nobody came to take the door no matter how much he knocked.
