Chapter 183 She Is A Psycho

Emily's mother was just an ordinary person from Haicheng City. More often than not, she wouldn't have
the money to spend on luxury items. When she walked past all the displayed items at the store, her
eyes glistened at the sight of the glamorous and expensive jewelries.

What woman did not like jewelry?

"Emily, these must be expensive?" she asked. Emily's mother seemed to be a little hesitant, but her
eyes had been fixated on a delicate bracelet.

Emily noticed that and had the bracelet taken out. "Some of them are expensive, while some are
affordable," she said to her mother.

What Emily said was partially true. At first, the main products of the LA were affordable luxury items.
Soon with the development of their affordable products, LA began to expand their market to high grade
luxury items. But they still gained to favor of the petty bourgeoisie.

Although the jewelries worth of tens of millions in the counter were not affordable for her, Emily had
enough money for the affordable luxury jewelries, like the bracelet her mother had been eyeing, worth
seventy to eighty thousand.

Emily understood jewelry well. The quality of this bracelet looked good, and the design was novel and
unique. This bracelet was the work of an intelligent designer who worked under her at the LA
Company. It was the only piece in the whole of Jingshi City. "Mom, try this one," said Emily.

For Emily, her mother's choice was what mattered to her the most.

Emily's mother couldn't hide her desire for this bracelet. She finally tried the bracelet on, and ever
since, she just couldn't bear to take it off.



After careful consideration, she stopped caring whether it was Emily's money or Jacob's money.
Especially if it were Jacob's money, so what? It wasn't unreasonable for Emily to spend a little of
Jacob's money on her mother, after all, Jacob wasn't exactly going to run short on cash any time soon.
Besides, more than anything else, it was she who had raised Emily for so many years.

Those thoughts had convinced her at last.

"We can purchase it if you want to," Emily said. An inkling of tenderness flashed in the eyes of Emily. In
her childhood, her mother was the one who had treated her well. Every time Emily's father would beat
and scold her, her mother would come to her defense. It was her mother who cared for her and
comforted her when she needed someone...

Although, sometimes, Emily's mother would give her the cold shoulder and shut her out, whenever her
mother would play mahjong all night... However, what Emily remembered about her mother were the
good things she had done for her.

Now that she was capable of living a prosperous life, why would she not be filial to her mother?

Looking at the beautiful bracelet on her wrist, Emily's mother smiled sincerely, as the wrinkles on her
face crumpled. When she was about to speak, a delicate female voice suddenly appeared and
interrupted her words.

"Ah! Fancy running into you here! Turns out just two country bumpkins out shopping for jewelry. Ah!
Such rubbish is only fit for people like you."

Emily and her mother turned their heads to the voice at the same time. They weren't even surprised to
find out that it was Tina, who looked arrogant and disdainful walking around in her high heels.

"Miss Tao," said Emily, as she frowned and defensively stood in front of her mother. She
continued,"What do you want?"



"What do I want?" Tina raise her chin and sneered,"As a priority customer, of course I am here to shop.
You are the CEO of LA, and this is how you treat your customer?"

Emily, now well-experienced with Tina's tricks and treachery, grew cautious and alert. She even had
half a mind to strangle Tina because of all the wicked things Tina had done to her. "If you're here to
shop, then of course, I welcome you. But if you've come here to stir up trouble, I'm sorry but you will not
be entertained here."

Meanwhile Emily's mother, standing behind Emily, secretly glanced at Tina.

Tina, her own biological daughter, had grown up to be such an arrogant and domineering woman.
However, no matter how arrogant, Emily's mother could never find fault in Tina, as if her daughter had
the right to act in such a way. She believed that Tina deserved the favor of providence and the world
should be in the palm of her hands.

This was most likely the most common weakness every mother had.

When Tina's sight drifted from Emily, she immediately noticed Emily's mother looking at her secretively.
A flash of detestation appeared in Tina's eyes, and she yelled,"Hey! I told you to stop looking at me in
such a disgusting way!"

The way Emily's mother looked at Tina always gave her an inexplicable feeling, which made her ill at
ease.

Suddenly, Tina raised her voice. Startled, Emily's mother was trembling and lowered her head in
submission. She looked subdued and did not dare to look at Tina again.

Although, Emily found her mother's behavior strange and un-called for, Emily didn't linger on that
thought for too long. Infuriated by Tina's insolence, Emily's eyes turned red with anger. "You'd better
show some respect," said Emily.



"Respect? People like you don't deserve my respect," replied Tina, as she looked at them with disdain
and abhorrence. Tina always looked down upon Emily's status and her family.

Emily, put her anger at bay. She had no intentions on continuing such a meaningless argument with
Tina, especially not in public. She knew Tina too well. The longer Emily argued with her, the angrier she
would get, and that's exactly what Tina wanted.

Emily paid for the bracelet quickly and dragged her mother away. Tina, being the spoiled rich girl she
was, just sneered as she watched them walk away.

"Don't worry about her, mom!" Emily comforted, when she turned her head and saw her mother in a
daze. She thought her mother was frightened so she consoled her and said,"Don't worry about her,
mom. She is a psycho. I will not let her hurt you!"

Emily's mother soon came to her senses. She answered,"What? Oh...okay..."

The meeting with Tina reminded Emily of her previous experience, either way, her mood soured.
Meanwhile, Emily's mother seemed to have lost her interest as well. Since neither of them wanted to
go shopping anymore, they decided to grab lunch at a nearby restaurant.

While the both of them were sitting at the table, waiting for food, Emily's mother didn't seem too keen
on eating as her thoughts were all muddled. Out of the blue, she asked,"Emily, your ex-boyfriend...
What happened between the two of you? Why did you break up with him all of sudden?"

Emily subconsciously pressed her lips, as a hint of indifference flashed in her eyes. "I broke up with him
a long time ago. We are just not for each other," she answered.

"I think he is good for you. He is handsome and rich, and he used to treat you good. What a pity that
you are not together anymore..." she said to Emily. The real intention of Emily's mother, behind



mentioning this was that she wanted Jacob and Emily to break up, but she did not speak up directly.
She intended to achieve her goals in an indirect manner.

Emily understood what was going on. Disappointed, she looked at her mother for a while and sighed
with profound resignation. "Mom, I know what you're doing. Why can't you just accept that fact that
Jacob and I are together?"

Guilt-ridden, Debby's eyes wandered around, avoiding Emily's eyes. "I care about your well-being. I
don't think he is the right man for you. Marriage is not a joke. Trust me, Emily. You'd better take my
advice..."

"Really?" asked Emily, but didn't believe what her mother had said. Should a good mother not bless her
daughter upon learning that her daughter had found an excellent partner?

"Yeah! Of course..." replied Debby.

Emily didn't speak for a while. She knew that her mother was lying, but she had no idea why her
mother was lying. What was Emily's mother going to gain from their separation?

Everyone in this world, including your own mother, has his or her own agenda and will inevitably be
selfish.

However, Jacob was different.

Jacob would never use her to achieve his own goals. He liked her for who she really was and treated
her with unconditional love.

Emily was incredibly lucky to have found the love of her life!
