Emma Campbell once stayed with Emily Berns for a few days, constantly trying to convince her to team up against Gina Lopez, but in the end, she was won over by Gina and now completely follows Gina’s instructions.
At that ti, Emily didn’t take it seriously. She thought Emma’s words were too ridiculous, and she was confident enough to get Jas Brown to her side. But now, she finds it increasingly difficult, as Jas isn’t the type of man who easily abandons relationships. Having married Gina, unless their feelings couple horribly, he would not divorce her.
Gina, being shrewd, doesn’t hold Jas too tightly, giving him enough freedom so that he always feels guilty towards her. As a result, Jas is consistently very kind to Gina and has tolerated Emma Campbell and Charlotte, thus further binding his heart firmly at ho.
Emily has no friends in YODC City and feels isolated as she watches the harmony in Jas’s household every day. Having felt a mutual camaraderie with Helen Wilson today, she suddenly had the idea to join forces with Helen Wilson and ntioned it directly.
After blurting it out, Emily felt this approach was quite promising, so she said to Helen Wilson, "Helen, let ask you, do you like Jas Brown?"
"I..." Helen Wilson hesitated, wanting to say she didn’t like him, but couldn’t get the word out. Finally, she admitted, "Even though he’s a jerk, I still like him."
"Do you want to be with him?" Emily asked again.
"Of course, I do." This ti Helen answered without a thought. Despite Jas having many flaws, he treats her well, and his prowess impresses her greatly, filling her with admiration.
"Then you should be aware how difficult it is to be with him. It’s impossible on your own, so we need to unite to bring him over."
Helen Wilson hesitated for only a few seconds before nodding decisively, saying, "Alright, let’s team up!" She then extended her hand towards Emily.
Emily and Helen’s hands tightly clasped together, with a sweet smile, "As sisters united, I don’t believe we can’t beat them."
"Haha, indeed, we surely can beat them."
Jas Brown was dumbfounded watching the two of them, wondering what they were up to. Joining forces right in front of him like this—were they trying to turn the world upside down?
Lucy Campbell laughed softly, "Looks like I’m extra here. Should I leave first, and let you two focus on getting the guy?"
Emily and Helen imdiately blushed; although they expressed the desire to unite, they hadn’t truly devised any strategy or thought about how to proceed. Lucy’s candid words caught them off guard.
Lucy chuckled again, adding, "Emma Campbell and Charlotte, after all, often join forces to serve a certain mischievous wolf; otherwise, why would soone be so fond of staying at ho? If you don’t bring sothing new to the table, things might not go as hoped."
Jas felt utterly bewildered, his worldview shattered, and glared at Lucy Campbell, "Can you stop adding to this ss?"
"Of course not; causing a little trouble makes things more entertaining. I increasingly enjoy staying at your place, where these emotional dramas abound—it’s unlike anything you’d find in novels or on TV, haha..."
Jas was truly troubled by the situation; Helen Wilson and Emily Berns individually already presented challenges, but if they joined forces, it wouldn’t be as simple as one plus one. Who knew what chaos would erupt in his household?
He quietly pondered to himself, figuring the most important thing now was to prevent their union. He cleared his throat and said, "Joan, don’t listen to Lucy teasing you. I happen to like your independent nature."
Helen Wilson tilted her head proudly, "Sorry, but I now need to make so changes."
Jas’ mouth twitched; then he turned to Emily Berns and said, "Emily, aren’t things now fine as they are? We’re very good friends, unburdened by emotional entanglents. You’re my confidante, and I’m yours."
Emily snorted in response, "First, I’m not your confidante, nor have I made you mine. Second, these days I’ve humbled myself enough; I don’t want to continue like this. For years I’ve suffered enough for you; I want to strive for my happiness. If I can’t do it alone, I’ll join forces with Helen Wilson—sharing you is better than having nothing."
Helen quickly added, "Jas Brown, your ans of division won’t work. I’m telling you, resistance is futile. If you comply with us, we might be more lenient due to your honesty. But if you continue to resist, severe consequences are all you can expect."
Lucy Campbell burst into laughter, while John Brown was left feeling awkward. The way Helen Wilson put it made him feel like a prisoner.
Seeing John Brown’s troubled expression, Emily Berns couldn’t help but feel delighted and said, "Helen Wilson is right; no matter how you resist, it’s useless. If you want us to treat you better in the future, you should give in obediently. If not... hmm, you’ll have no good days ahead."
If this goes on, won’t he just let them have their way? This isn’t sothing John Brown would agree to. He suddenly stood up, glaring as he said, "You guys are really pushing it. Let tell you, in my world, there’s no such thing as being manipulated by won. You two want to bow down? No way! If you behave and don’t cause trouble, I might treat you better. But if you make a fuss with , hmm... I will..."
"Will do what?" Helen Wilson and Emily Berns also stood up simultaneously, their presence not weaker than John Brown’s, although they were both shorter than him. But at this ti, two against one, plus the naturally sharp voices of won, imdiately suppressed John Brown’s aura.
The main thing was, John Brown really didn’t know how to deal with the two of them—a daughter’s mother and his lover. How could he say anything harsh to them?
But at the sa ti, he knew clearly that if he gave in, they would have their way in the future. He snorted and said, "Don’t think I won’t deal with you. If you provoke , I won’t talk to you or pay attention to you ever again."
Such harsh words might be a joke to others, but for Helen Wilson and Emily Berns, it was sothing they were genuinely worried about. But neither wanted to lose montum. If they were pressured right away, their alliance wouldn’t be able to affect John Brown much.
Lucy Campbell chuckled softly at this mont, saying, "You guys are really funny. Those who know might think you are flirting, while those who don’t might assu you have so deep enmity."
This indeed helped ease the atmosphere. Emily Berns was no longer the stubborn girl she once was and gave John Brown a scornful look, saying, "Why are you being fierce? I’ve already had a child with you, and Helen Wilson is ambiguously with you. We put up with so much grievance, shouldn’t we vent a little? You, a grown-up man, have no idea how to care for your woman, and you’re being fierce with us. Do you even have a conscience?" As she spoke, her eyes turned red.
John Brown knew Emily Berns was pretending, yet her words left him speechless. Emily Berns had raised such a big daughter for him and couldn’t let others know, the suffering was surely not trivial.
Helen Wilson reached out and tugged at John Brown’s collar, angrily shouting, "Do you have anything more to say?"
"Alright, alright, both of you are my dear madams. Do whatever you want. But I’m telling you, no attacking each other, no using any underhanded tactics. Otherwise, I really can’t accept it. Even if you manage to separate and Gina Lopez, I won’t be with either of you."
Though John Brown was compromising, he still had his principles, and he expressed them firmly.
Helen Wilson and Emily Berns now tacitly avoided pushing John Brown’s boundaries. They knew very well that this guy, while usually jovial and seemingly easy to talk to and bully, had a pretty tough temper when genuinely provoked.
"No problem. With Emily Berns partnering up, we don’t believe we can lose to anyone," Helen Wilson accepted the challenge confidently.
Emily Berns’s confidence flared up again, saying, "That’s right. With us sisters united, we can undoubtedly be invincible."
Lucy Campbell winked at John Brown, saying, "You’re having a romantic stroke of luck again."
John Brown coughed awkwardly. This stroke of luck wasn’t so easy to enjoy—Emily Berns was clever and had many tricks, while Helen Wilson, though not cunning, had a fiery spirit. This pair, one firm and one soft, were indeed quite difficult to handle.
"Alright, Helen Wilson. If there’s nothing more, let’s go." John Brown didn’t want to stay any longer and proposed to leave.
Emily Berns waved her hand and said, "Helen Wilson, do you have anything in the afternoon? If you’re free, I’d like to have a good chat with you."
Helen Wilson nodded, saying, "No problem, I’ll take leave in the afternoon." Then she told John Brown, "Scram, don’t be an eyesore here."
John Brown quickly led Lucy Campbell away, and as soon as they entered the elevator, Lucy Campbell couldn’t help but burst into giggles.
John Brown said to Lucy Campbell, "You’re laughing. Now my head’s aching. It wasn’t easy feeling that Emily Berns was no longer so tangled up, but encountering Helen Wilson, she not only revived this issue but also united with Helen Wilson, really making my future a big ss."
Lucy Campbell stifled her laughter, saying, "What’s so troubling about that? If they want to win you over, they’ll have to treat you well. Perhaps they’ll even arrange a three-way relationship with you, and isn’t that your favorite setup? Isn’t it exactly what you want?"
