Emily saw that the other end of the phone was silent and sneered very proudly, "How does it feel to be alone in an empty room? Do you think this is karma? You guys have only been married for a few days and Archie has already go out from his home at night. Emma, snatching other people's men, the outcome is just like this. You have to get used to it."
"Why should I believe what you said? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?" Emma retorted.
Emily was charming. She said unhappily: "It's up to you whether you believe it or not. Anyway, I know about this matter. Luisa and Archie were engaged to each other since they were young. In the upper class, this was a public secret. In the past, when Luisa went missing, no one mentioned this matter. Now, Luisa had returned. Emma, are you afraid?"
Luisa's three words were like Emma's devil barrier. Almost everyone who had seen her had to mention her.
"Why should I be afraid? If Archie and I are destined to break up, I
The atmosphere between the grandfather and the grandson was a little tense. Archie's eyes were fixed on the surface of the lake. Old Master was also in a trance, as if he was recalling the past."Grandfather, is there any way to cancel the engagement with the Sandford Family?" Archie suddenly asked, but what he asked was the thing that Old Master was most worried about."Are you determined not to divorce?" Old Master asked. He sighed heavily. If they did not divorce, the consequences would be very serious.Archie's face was a little stiff and cold. His eyes were sharp and his tone was cold. "I will find time to negotiate with Dexon. I will help him enter the presidential election. He must agree to cancel the engagement."Old Master turned his head around and looked at his grandson's cold face in surprise. His brows were tightly knitted together. "Are you sure this is not to suppress the Sandford Family, but to help Dexon become the President?""No
When Emma woke up in the morning, she was at a loss. She had another nightmare last night.She dreamed that Archie and Luisa were in the same room. At first, they were drinking, then they took off their clothes. Then. . .She woke up and realized that it was not dawn yet. She continued to sleep, but she could not sleep. She opened her eyes and looked out the window, all the way until dawn.This kind of painful sleep made her look a little haggard, and her small face was pale and colorless.When she was eating breakfast, she heard Uncle Suan answer the phone. The person he called was young master, so it was Archie who called back?Emma's small hand holding the spoon tightened slightly. Last night, Archie did not call her at all, making her worry all night.She did not expect him to call Uncle Suan in the morning, but not her.This sense of loss made Emma startled. Her beautiful eyes stared at the table. Why did she become so emotional?
Looking at her stubborn little mouth, which was so pink that her lower lip was almost bitten into a circle by her white teeth, Archie could not help raising her chin. He did not let her look around and could only look at him.Emma struggled a little angrily but could not break free. She could only grumble, "Archie, what exactly do you want to do? I still have something to do. Please don't disturb my work, okay?""Don't bite!" The man's finger landed on her lower lip, which was slightly white, and he rubbed it. "Be good!"Emma did not like him using such a gentle tone to coax her. It was because he had flirted with other women last night.His fingers touched her lip, making her feel indescribably uncomfortable. She did not know where he got the strength from, but both of her hands pushed against the man's chest and pushed him away. "Don't use the fingers of the other woman that you have hugged to touch me. I feel dirty!"Emma instantly stood up with
The atmosphere in the kitchen suddenly became dull. Archie watched her cutting the vegetables and washing the pot without batting an eyelid. He was very familiar with her movements, as if she was someone who often did this kind of thing. His heart ached for no reason.In Quinsley Family, was she often ordered around like this?She had clearly suffered all kinds of grievances. Why was she so heartless as to let go of the heavy burden on her shoulders?Every time Gustav asked for help, she would bite the bullet and ask him for help.Emma also knew that she was being watched by Archie. Her eyes darkened slightly and she did not say anything else. She just focused on the matter at hand.When she poured the oil into the pot and fried two poached eggs, the entire room was filled with fragrance. The two of them didn't speak.Emma stared at the food in the pot. Behind her, Archie looked at her slender back.When she finished frying the two eg
Not long after the taxi drove out of the Grafton's Corporation building, Emma's phone suddenly rang. She didn't even need to look to know who it was.Emma still took out her phone to take a look. When she saw Archie's name constantly flashing on the screen, she didn't know if it was due to psychological effects, but she felt that his name had a domineering aura that couldn't be ignored.Emma bit her lips and answered the call.Just as she put it close to her ear, there was a man's angry roar from the other side, "Emma, I order you to come back immediately."Emma knew that because of the wrong gift of the tie, she had offended Archie. But didn't he punish her just now?That kind of wild and overbearing force that made her heart tremble had still shocked Emma to this day.She had never known that a man's physical strength would be so good. It was so good that it seemed as if it would crush her bones."Anyway, you've already eaten your n
Archie did not hide his intimate relationship with Emma. After flirting in her office, he parked his car in front of the lobby and waited for her to get off work.Although Emma was still not used to Archie's positive attitude, her mood was very high. It was only when all the women looked at her with envy and jealousy that she realized that she was not noble and hid a little vanity in her heart.She opened the car door and sat in. The man looked at her from the side. His voice was cold: "Where's the tie?""You said I can give it back, so I don't bring it!" Emma small face started to heat up for no reason.Only then did Archie seem to be satisfied. He started the car and drove away.On the way back to the Grafton Family, Emma asked curiously, "You really want to invite him over for a meal?""I have already invited him. He also promised to come." Archie replied faintly and did not think deeper into it.Emma was nervous. She suddenly aske
The car continued to drive in the direction of the Grafton Family, and Emma's mind became even more confused. This man's words had stirred up her memories of the past, the past that she had been bullied at.That's right. Why was she so easy to bully at that time? In the future, if anyone dared to bully her like that, she would definitely not agree.Outside the living room of Grafton Family, a domineering sedan was parked at the door. Archie's car circled around and drove into the garage. He frowned slightly and said, "Yoseph came so early?"Emma only then turned around to look at the car. Was that Yoseph's car?It was not dark yet, so he came early.After parking the car in the garage, Archie was the first to get out of the car. Emma, however, was in a very bad mood.Forget it. At this point, she could not back down. She wanted to see if Yoseph would tell her what had happened between the two of them.Archie stood at the garage door a
Archie's words stunned Emma. She subconsciously looked at Yoseph.Yoseph tightened his grip on the wine glass and replied indifferently, "Yes, I was planning to support this woman with all my might. For the sake of this tie, I want her to be the most dazzling woman."If Archie's words only aroused Emma's curiosity, then Yoseph's words simply shocked her."Is what Young Master Yoseph said true? Then I'll thank you on behalf of my friend. She really is a girl with great potential for development." Regardless of whether it was true or not, Tasya's good luck was about to come. Yoseph had said this in front of Archie. It was unlikely that he had just said it out loud.Archie chuckled. "Then I'm really curious about what the other person looks like to be able to hook your heart."Yoseph raised his eyes and looked at the woman sitting next to Archie. He mocked her. "Of course she is prettier than your wife."Emma's little hand that was holding the
In a flash, it was the time for them to depart for the Country F.Emma prepared to drag down a suitcase that she had packed up from the trunk.A strong hand seized it at the right time and easily placed the luggage on the ground.Emma's small hand was still in the air. Her beautiful eyes turned to the side and saw Yoseph. She did not know when he was standing next to her."Why did you come down?" Emma was a little surprised, but she was more worried.Yoseph smiled faintly. "I just wanted to come down and send you off. Let's go! The company has already arranged a car.""The box is not heavy. I will do it myself." Emma wanted to snatch her small box back.Yoseph did not let her. He forcefully carried her box and walked towards the entrance of the hall.Emma could not argue with him and could only lower her head. She followed behind him.In her eyes, Yoseph's tall and slender figure was swaying.He wore a black suit
As soon as Yoseph left, Minlan hurried upstairs and asked Emma with a frown, "Did you say something to make Young Master Yoseph unhappy? I asked him to stay for dinner, but he didn't even eat."Emma was so scared that her hands and feet went cold. She had a feeling that her lie was going to be exposed and she stuttered, "No. . . No. He might have some urgent matters to attend to in the company.""Really?" Minlan stared at her suspiciously and then said earnestly, "Emma, Yoseph was really not bad. I have never seen a man more perfect than him. He is ambitious and handsome. He has a good family background. More importantly. . . Before he met you, there was almost no scandal. There wasn't a single woman around him. Look at his condition. . . It's hard to find him even with lanterns, so don't be unsatisfied.""Mom, why don't you just sell me a pack of things that are worth two pounds to him?" Emma forced a smile and joked."What nonsense are you talking about? I just feel that you should

Emma came to her father's ward with a heavy heart.The door was pushed open and she saw her mother standing in front of the bed with red eyes. Her father was already asleep and there was a needle inserted into the back of his hand.His left thigh was wrapped in gauze and he looked very tired."Mom. . . " Emma called softly.Minlan quickly stood up and walked to the door and pulled her out of the room. "Your dad is asleep. Don't disturb him.""Mom, I'm sorry. It's all because of me. . . ""Alright, no one is wrong. The ones who are wrong are those kidnappers. They are crazy for money and drug trafficking. Emma, it is good that you are fine. Do you know how worried Mom was about you?" Minlan immediately interrupted Emma's self-blame.In this matter, everyone was the victim and no one was right or wrong."En! I am also very glad that I can still come back alive to see you guys. I also want to thank father for coming to save me regardless of everything." When Emma spoke up to this point,
As time passed, this deathly silence made people's breathing tighten.Suddenly, a phone rang in the middle of the night, ringing throughout the entire office.Archie and Yoseph's pupils shrank. Their eyes were fixed on Dexon's phone.Dexon immediately answered the call.At the same time, the monitoring room also made a move.The kidnapper's voice sounded again. "Mr. Vice President, have you thought about it? Are the goods ready? I gave you two hours to prepare, don't disappoint me too much.""The goods are ready. Tell me the location of the transaction. I'll send it over immediately." Dexon said urgently."Tsk tsk, and. . . Very good, as long as you listen to me, your daughter will definitely be fine. I don't need to leave my goods behind for a woman.""Cut the crap. Hurry up and tell me the location of the transaction so I can deliver the goods to you.""Alright, I want you to drive the car over personally. The location is at a small pier called Glass Village in the north of the subu
The next morning, a piece of news hit the Internet headlines.A letter of annulment was announced by all the major news media outlets first, and it was so big that it had never been published before.All the headlines were talking about this matter, as if they were afraid that no one would see it.On the breakfast table of Sandford Family, Dexon, who had always been calm, suddenly went berserk. He tore the newspaper in his hands into pieces and threw it all over the floor."Hubby, who provoked you so early in the morning?" Minlan was shocked. She thought that the breakfast today did not suit his taste and made him angry.Dexon said angrily, "Grafton Family is going too far. Why did they post the annulment agreement on the Internet? Are they trying to let everyone know that my daughter was annulled by him?"When Minlan heard this news, her whole body stiffened, and her face instantly became filled with grief and indignation."I'm afraid that the old matter of my daughter will be hyped
Archie sat in the car, turned on the lights, and carefully checked the termination agreement in his hand.After reading it word by word, he handed the document to James, who was sitting in the front passenger seat. "Make a copy of the contract and report it to the public."James quickly took the document. "Okay, young master. As long as this divorce agreement is exposed, it will not be those people's turn to talk anymore between you and Miss Emma.""If it was not for Emma, why would I act like this? There are all kinds of people in this world. Other people's family matters are worth them worrying about and discussing." Archie mocked. However, he also knew that no matter how powerful he was, it would be difficult for him to stop the crowd.If he wanted to shut the mouths of others, he could only resolve the matter with victory.Now, the engagement agreement had already been obtained. Next, he would have to wait to make a child with Emma.When he thought of this, Archie's nerves slightl
Emma angrily went back into the car. Her snow-white little face was red with anger.She actually called her a chicken that did not know how to lay eggs. This term was too unpleasant to hear. She even called her a chicken in front of so many people.Even if she was an elder of the Wolfleim Family, she should at least show some respect to her.Didn't she just not like her marrying into the Wolfleim Family? Did she ever say that she really wanted to marry into the Wolfleim Family?Hmph, she had already cursed at her before the matter was clarified. Who could bear such resentment?After Minlan spoke a few words to Mrs. Wolfleim, she also walked out in a hurry. In the car, she saw Emma who was angered and sat in with an ugly expression. She did not want to say a word."Mom, are you blaming me?" Emma knew that she was a little impulsive just now and splashed cold water on Mrs. Wolfleim's face in front of so many people. But at that time, her qi an
Emma dragged her tired body back home. It was already past eleven o'clock at night.Minlan sat on the sofa and did not sleep. She was so anxious that her face turned pale."Emma, where did you go? You came back so late. Do you know how worried I was about you?" Minlan was so anxious that she almost went crazy.Emma felt guilty and did not dare to look into her mother's eyes. She could only lower her head."You drank?" Minlan frowned.Emma was stunned and instantly nodded. "Yes, I drank some wine.""Emma, what do you want me to say about you? You are not the daughter of an ordinary family. Did you go to the bar alone to get drunk? How dangerous is that? You're a single girl. If you meet a bad person, you'll lose your life." Minlan only thought that she was suffering from the pain of losing love, so she wanted to use alcohol to relieve her worries."Mom, didn't I come back safe and sound? Alright. I'll stop talking. I'm going upstairs to sleep. I'm so sleepy." Emma did not want to liste
