Lacey exhaled and said, “Emily, just get up. Let bygones be bygones. We are no longer related in any way, so I

hope we will never meet again. You should leave now.”

Emily sighed sadly. “Lacey, I know you won’t forgive me. It’s fine, you can do that, but please give me a chance to

redeem my sins.”

At once, Emily slapped her face repeatedly without hesitation.

The sound of her slaps was so loud that they echoed in the room for a long time.

“That’s enough!” Lacey stopped Emily.

She did that not because she pitied Emily, but she didn’t want Emily to continue her act.

That was because she knew Emily wasn’t someone who’d kneel and apologize to someone so easily.

It was very obvious that Emily was acting to gain their sympathy.

However, Emily wouldn’t stop slapping herself. “Lacey, if you refuse to forgive me, I’ll continue slapping myself until

I die.”

Lacey grew impatient. “Emily Clemons! Why would you do that? Forget it. Stop slapping yourself.”

“Tell me the reason you came.”

Emily was delighted. “Lacey, I know you aren’t that cruel. I’m really desperate right now. I haven’t eaten anything

since yesterday. Can you please take me in?”

“If you refuse to do that, I’ll die of starvation. Please give me a chance to help you, Lacey. I promise I’ll work

diligently!” she implored.

Lacey’s first reaction was to turn her down.

If what Emily wanted was money, she would give it to her without hesitation.

However, if Emily wanted to stay by her side, she wouldn’t let her do so.

First, they had a complicated past. It would be terribly awkward to see her every day.

Second, Emily was Zeke’s ex-girlfriend. If she was allowed to stay, what if she and Zeke rekindled their relationship?

Lacey knew Zeke wouldn’t get back together with Emily, but she couldn’t help but feel jealous at that thought.

She was about to say no when Emily started groveling at her feet.

“Lacey, don’t chase me away. I’m left with no other choice.”

Lacey couldn’t bring herself to say no. She turned to Zeke, hinting him to make a decision.

Zeke rejected her instantly. “Dawnie, see her out. From now on, don’t let people like her in. You might think it’s fine,

but she disgusts me.”

Zeke knew Emily’s apology wasn’t sincere at all.

Besides, she was someone who’d resort to despicable means to achieve her goal. What if she harmed Lacey just to

rise through the ranks?

He didn’t want to have any regret in the future, so it would be best to reject her before it was too late.

Dawn pouted, “Ha! If I knew she came to ask for forgiveness, I wouldn’t have let her in.”

So, she called, “Security! Come, take her away.”

Two security guards appeared at the door and pulled Emily out.

Emily’s wails turned louder as she grabbed onto the door, refusing to let go.

“Lacey, weren’t we best friends? If you refuse to take me in, I’d rather die out there.”

“My brother is in jail and my mother had gone crazy. You’re my only best friend. Have you forgotten about how I

used to help you in college back then?”

“Your family was so poor; you didn’t even have enough pocket money. I’d use my own money to help you when it

was almost the end of the month.”

“Once, I didn’t even have enough for myself, so by the end of that month, we could only afford to eat bread and

plain water for ten days straight.”
