Because I Was an and He Threw Away 219

Chapter 219 Get Into Andrew’s Assistant’s Car 

Andrew ignored Emily’s words and instead sneered, “Even the prettiest married woman is like a second–hand commodity. It’s all too easy with them, no excitement whatsoever. What a shame to be so good–looking and still be a bore.” 

Emily couldn’t stomach his words. She lunged at him again, but this time he was ready. 

With a swift movement, he grabbed her wrist, his eyes cold and menacing as he stared her down. 

Emily glared back, her eyes ablaze with anger. “Andrew, cut the crap! She isn’t like that,” Emily snapped. 

Andrew just shrugged and let out a mocking laugh. “Me? Talking trash? I was more than just talking about her trash pus…” 

He trailed off suggestively, and Emily got the dirty insinuation. 

Fury coursed through her veins, and her breathing grew ragged. 

Without thinking, she lashed out, kicking, punching, and trying to head–butt him.

Andrew wasn’t about to let her land a blow. With brute force, he tossed her to the ground. 

Lying on the floor, Emily stared up at him defiantly. Andrew 

sneered, “Emily, you’d better make way for Nancy. This position isn’t yours!” 

With that, he turned on his heel and walked away. 

On the cold floor, the wound from the dog bite reopened, and Emily could feel the warm blood oozing out. 

But she barely noticed. What really gnawed at her were the despicable things Andrew had said about Chloe. 

She knew she was no match for Andrew; it was like a tiny bug trying to topple a huge tree. 

Just then, her phone rang. 

It was lying a few feet away. Glancing over, she saw it was Ethan calling. 

Emily almost didn’t answer, but at the last second, she picked 

1. up. 

Ethan didn’t ask where she was. In a matter–of–fact tone, he said, “Go home by yourself later. Lydia and the others are at the hospital. I’ve got to go. There’s something I have to take 2/7 care of.”

Emily knew he was going back to be with Sophia and Nancy, but she was at a loss for words. 

Just as she was about to vent about Andrew’s rudeness, the 

line went dead. 

Not bothering to call back, Emily pocketed her phone and pulled herself together. 

After making sure she didn’t look a mess, she left the hospital. 

Upon arriving at the Carter Manor, she saw Chloe sitting in the living room, as if waiting for someone, maybe her or Ryan. 

The words Andrew had spoken about Chloe haunted her. 

She knew Chloe was a good woman and couldn’t believe the 

lies. 

Taking a moment to steady her nerves outside the hall, Emily then stepped inside. 

Hearing the footsteps, Chloe looked up and broke into a warm smile. “Emily, you’re back!” 

Emily approached Chloe with a warm smile on her face. “Chloe, it’s getting so late. You usually hit the hay by now. What gives?”

Chloe was dressed for a night out. Typically, at this hour, she’d have changed into her PJs and been on her way to dreamland for a rejuvenating beauty sleep. 

Tonight, though, her sleepwear still hung untouched in the closet. 

Chloe returned Emily’s smile and explained, “Ryan’s burning the midnight oil at the office. I’m gonna swing by and see how he’s doing. I’m not sure if I’ll make it back, so I was wondering if you could take Molly to school in the morning?” 

The lateness of the hour made Emily uneasy, and she quickly offered, “I’ll come with you then.” 

Chloe, touched by Emily’s worry, gently caressed her face. “It’s all good, Emily. I can handle it alone. Molly’s at home, and she’ll throw a fit if she wakes up and we’re both gone.” 

Emily tried to protest, “Chloe, but…” 

Chloe cut her off. “Come on now. I’m leaving right away. You go upstairs, take a nice shower, and then tuck Molly in, okay?” 

With Chloe so insistent, Emily didn’t press the issue further. 

After Chloe stepped out of the hall, Emily stood there, a knot of worry in her stomach. Unable to shake off her unease, she dashed outside.

By the time she reached the entrance of the Carter Manor, she caught sight of Chloe climbing into a car. 

Chloe settled in the backseat, and as the car started to move, Emily managed to glimpse the driver. 

She was pretty sure she’d seen this guy before. It was Andrew’s 

assistant. 

What on earth was Chloe doing getting into Andrew’s assistant’s car at this ungodly hour? 

Could all those things Andrew had said be true? 

No way, Emily just couldn’t buy it. 

On her way back in, Emily found herself fishing her phone out of her pocket and dialing Ryan’s number. 

Ryan answered after a couple of rings, and Emily quickly asked, “Hey, Ryan, you coming home tonight?” 

There was a brief pause on the other end before Ryan replied, “It’ll be late.” 

Emily said firmly, “I’ll wait for you, no matter how long.” 

Ryan hesitated for a second, then his voice took on a stern edge. “Just go to sleep. Don’t wait up.” 

edge.

Hearing Ryan’s tone, Emily knew better than to argue 

After ending the call, Emily lingered for a bit, still puzzled by Chloe’s actions. 

She just couldn’t wrap her head around why Chloe would get into that car in the middle of the night. 

But she trusted Chloe. There was no way Chloe was the person Andrew had painted her to be. 

Once back in her bedroom, Emily took a relaxing shower. As she dried off her phone buzzed with a message from Vanessa 

The message read: (Emily, Chloe’s getting plastered by a bunch of guys.] 

Along with it was a photo showing a spacious, dimly–lit private 

room. 

There was Andrew, sitting among a half–dozen other men. 

Panic welled up in Emily. She quickly typed back: [Where is this? How’d you get the photo?] 

Vanessa replied promptly: [I’m sending you the address. A buddy of mine who works as a waiter took the pic. I saw Chloe and had a bad feeling, so I asked him to snap one.]
