Yoseph's words made Dexon's expression stiffen.
Yoseph's gaze was as sharp as a knife as he stared at Dexon's face. His thin lips curled into a faint smile. "What is it? Uncle Dexon doesn't want me to be your son-in-law?"
Dexon immediately came back to his senses and showed a friendly smile. "If Young Master Yoseph can be my son-in-law, of course I would be happy to. However, Emma is a stubborn child. She was not raised in the Sandford Family since she was young. I'm afraid she will disappoint Young Master Yoseph."
"No matter what, Emma is still your daughter. She will definitely listen to what you say." Yoseph said with a smile, as if he was forcing Dexon.
Dexon naturally understood the hidden meaning in his words. He laughed dryly. "You are right. Emma is my daughter. Young Master Yoseph, when we suppress Archie, Emma will definitely know who is the best partner for her to spend the rest of her life with."
Yoseph nodded and was satisfied. "Since
Every corner of the room was filled with memories. The corner of Emma's mouth curled up and she weakly threw herself onto the comfortable and soft bed.On the velvet blanket, there was still the faint cold fragrance of a man. Emma somewhat greedily hugged the blanket as if she had merged into his embrace. She had a sense of security and was very content.She really hoped that after coming back this time, she would not leave again and would not be able to bear to leave.However, when she thought of what Archie had said, Emma was quick-witted once again, and her entire body was stiff and cold.In fact, she did not believe that Dexon would do something that would hurt people. He was about to run for president, so how could he do something so bad?But Archie didn't seem to be joking. That was why she was panicking in her heart.In the dark and narrow interrogation room, Luisa pressed her hands on her forehead. Her mind was on the verge of collap
It was the sharp sound of a bullet piercing through the air. Emma was stunned for a second before she heard Archie anxiously shouting at her. Then, his tall body also rushed towards her.Emma reacted quickly and squatted down. When she saw Archie running towards her without caring about anything, she immediately shouted, "Archie, don't come over. I'm fine!"Archie did not listen to her shout at all. He ran over and pulled her petite body into his arms, hiding behind the table next to him.Another few gunshots rang out. Bullets mercilessly nailed into the chairs and walls on the balcony."Damn it!" Archie cursed in a low voice. Then he looked at the chair next to him and pulled it over. He said to Emma, "I'll cover you. Quickly hide in the room.""Is it safe like this? What if the bullet hits you?" Emma's frightened voice changed and became somewhat hoarse.She had grown up in a peaceful era. She had only seen such a gunfight in movies. She h
After the gunfight, the villa and manor of Grafton Family became even more heavily guarded.After Benny found out about this matter, he even sent over a hundred special forces to protect Grafton Family's safety.Emma took a bath upstairs to calm herself down, but when she thought about the near-death situation just now, she still felt a little panicked.She put on a warm coat and went downstairs. When she walked to the staircase, she heard an unfamiliar and elegant female voice talking."Cousin, my dad sent me to talk to you about the gunfight just now. It's so late, so it's not convenient for him to come."Emma heard the soft female voice and seemed to be very close to Archie. When she heard her call Archie cousin, she became even more curious.She guessed that this girl should be Benny's daughter. Thus, she took two quick steps towards the stairs.She saw a girl wearing a white coat sitting politely on the sofa. She had short shoulder-length hair and looked very pretty and beautiful
Emma was a little confused. Archie's words had shattered her many years of understanding.Was she really too naive? Or was it because reality was cruel and heartless to begin with? Was it because she stubbornly believed that the world was beautiful, that people should be optimistic, and that they should look forward to it?In the past, when she was in the Quinsley Family, she was like a turtle hiding in its shell. Whenever she encountered trouble, she would hide. She would not fight openly with those people because she thought that she had avoided them. Then everything would be fine.But today, too many things had happened. She didn't even have the chance to dodge. She could only face them head-on."Archie, can you promise me that if one day my father really does something unforgivable, please spare his life no matter what. Don't kill him." Emma closed her eyes in pain. Tears rolled down from the corner of her eyes.She looked like she was about to cry, like a fragile doll. Her mind w
After hanging up the phone, Emma let out a sigh of relief. She was actually very worried that her grandmother would ask for forgiveness from Luisa.Emma could strictly reject what other people said, but her grandmother was the person she respected and loved the most. She was really afraid that she would not be able to refuse.Her grandmother's deep sense of righteousness had always made Emma admire her very much.That was why she had such affinity with her grandmother. Apart from the blood relationship, there was also a kind of respect that came from the bottom of her heart.After Emma washed up, she went downstairs.Ever since she knew that the situation outside was so chaotic, Emma decided to only stay in the villa and not go anywhere.She did not want to cause trouble for Archie. Because she was Archie's biggest weakness now."Miss Emma, I have prepared breakfast. Do you want to eat it now?" Uncle Suan had been waiting at the entrance of the kitchen.Emma looked over gratefully. "O
Yunita was very happy because Archie had promised to eat her cooking.Actually, on the way here, she was very uneasy. Because she was afraid that if she did it too suddenly, it would make Archie angry.She had already asked her foster father, Benny, about everything that happened to Archie. Of course, it also included his cold and strange temperament. It was said that before he married Emma, he had no woman by his side. The outside world was spreading that there was a problem with his sexual orientation.When Benny talked about this matter, he even joked about it. At that time, he was also very worried. He had even directly asked Archie about it, which made Archie not know whether to laugh or cry. After the rumors that the inheritors of the Grafton Family were special, many young girls' hearts had been shattered.It was a great loss for a woman to think that such a perfect man didn't like women. But the thing that made everyone's eyes pop out of their sockets was that he suddenly a
Emma almost ran away in panic. She felt that her lie couldn't be hidden from Uncle Suan. He must have known that she had purposely come here to find Archie's secret.Sigh, I wonder if Uncle Suan will think of her as a bad person?After all, her identity was really special. Dexon was her father. If Uncle Suan suspected that she was a spy for her father. . .Heavens, it was unimaginable.Hopefully, Uncle Suan did not treat her as a bad person. Otherwise, her image would be gone.Although Uncle Suan didn't suspect that Emma would do anything bad to Archie, he still reported to Archie about her trespassing into Archie's secret base."Send me the video information via an encrypted email!" Archie rubbed his temples with a slight headache. When he said this, his stiff face, which had been tense for the whole day, relaxed a little.He locked this little thing at home. Did she find it too boring?After sending the video, Archie focused his gaze on the curious little woman in the video.She loo
The sky was already very dark. It was past eight o'clock and Emma was somewhat uneasy waiting in the living room.Although Archie had called her just now and said that he would come back a little later, she still could not calm down and wait.She had to think more about whether something dangerous had happened to him again.Fortunately, at the spot where she was worried, a strong car light was shot from afar. Emma's heart relaxed and she instinctively stood up and quickly walked out of the hall.A row of black cars protected a car and drove over from afar. Finally, they stopped at the entrance of the hall.Archie opened the car door. He was dressed in a formal suit. He looked very fierce and domineering, and his aura was very powerful.His thick black and neat short hair was also combed back. He was meticulous, but he was also stern and cold, giving people a cold feeling that they did not dare to get close to him.If Emma was in the past, when she saw such a noble and unreasonable Arc
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
