Emma was completely stunned! Who cared about a marriage certificate?
She did not want to continue chatting with him and directly hung up the phone.
Driver saw the situation. He was so scared that his eyes were wide open. “You dare to hang up on young master?”
“I don’t like listening to him.” Emma said angrily.
“Then you have to pray for yourself! You better not make young master angry.” driver kindly reminded her.
Emma shivered. Should she really not provoke Archie?
In order to vent her anger, Emma still decided to find her best friend to talk about life.
Driver sent her to the ground floor of a small district.
“Young master told you on the phone that you must return to Grafton Family before 5 o’clock, or you will have to bear the consequences.” driver said hastily.
Emma nodded. It was past three o’clock. She could still go to her best friend’s house for an hour.
After getting out of the car, she took out her phone and called her good friend Tasya.
Fortunately, she was home!
Emma took the elevator upstairs and opened the door. She saw Tasya applying a facial mask and used a pair of beautiful eyes to stare at her. “Aren’t you going to attend your cousin’s wedding today? Why are you still free to look for me?”
“Don’t mention it, I’m so annoyed!” Emma sat on the soft sofa in pain.
Tasya saw her like this and immediately asked curiously, “Why do you look like you want to die? Could it be that you were provoked by your cousin’s wedding?”
Emma looked at her best friend and her eyes were inexplicably sour. “Sya, I’m finished.”
“What happened to you? Why did you say such depressing things?” Tasya had always felt that Emma was an optimistic and cheerful girl, but at this moment, her face was filled with pessimism. Something big must have happened.
“I also don’t know what to say. There was an accident at today’s wedding. Archie announced on the spot that he wanted to marry me and even played an unsightly video. The video showed me having sex with him. Sya, I remember I told you. . . Half a month ago, I got into the wrong taxi on my way to the interview. I got knocked out and later found out that I’m not a virgin anymore. So it was Archie who raped me.” Emma spoke incoherently and absent-mindedly about what happened today. The more she thought about it, the more afraid she became. Her whole body felt cold.
Tasya understood. She was originally a smart and clever girl. Her beautiful eyes were wide open.
“You mean today is your wedding with Archie?” Tasya could not believe it and took a deep breath as she asked.
Emma nodded her head heavily. “That’s right, I am married to him.”
“Is there anything wrong with my ears? Did you snatch Emily’s husband? He is your brother-in-law. Then what about Jimmy? You and him are childhood sweethearts. He likes you so much.” Tasya was very shocked. She would never have thought that her good friend would become a bride at someone else’s wedding.
Furthermore, the person she married was Archie Grafton. He was the king of this city, the business tycoon who controlled the economy of this country.
Emma’s face was pale, but she could not deny this fact. She held her hands tightly and said with a trembling voice, “I can’t be with Jimmy anymore. I am no longer a virgin. I am not worthy of him.”
“My God, if Jimmy knew that you are married, he would go crazy. He likes you so much. But then again, you are married to Archie. I can’t believe it! You are so lucky!” After Tasya recovered from her shock, she was filled with envy and jealousy.
“Sya!” Emma widened her beautiful eyes. “Do you think this is a good thing? Do you know how humiliating I am today?”
Tasya curled her lips, “What is this? You have to understand that you are Archie Grafton’s wife now. A rich life is waving at you, and you have stepped onto the path of the upper class. You are not at a disadvantage, so why are you feeling wronged?”
“Sya, I don’t love him. I shouldn’t have married him.” Emma did not expect her good friend’s reaction to be like this. She was stunned.
“Is love that important? Do you know that couples nowadays have to add a wedding house and a new car to their marriage? Actually, all women want to marry rich people. And you easily marry the richest man. This is something that other people can’t even envy. Why are you frowning?” Tasya immediately did the ideological education work for her.
“To me, Archie is a very scary person. When I get along with this kind of person, even for a minute, I will feel uneasy.” Emma felt that Tasya had never seen Archie before, so she thought that it was fine as long as she had money.
Tasya suddenly squeezed to her side and tore off the facial mask on her face. She slapped hard and said with a smile, “Emma, look. You are now Mrs. Grafton. Help me. Tell Archie to let me work in the entertainment company when I am around, okay?”
“Sya, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. My relationship with Archie is very stiff now. I can’t even talk to him.” Emma originally thought that she could find a good friend to complain to, but she did not expect that her good friend would ask her for help. She was very troubled.
“Emma, just help me. Do you know how hard it is for me now? I work for more than ten hours a day, and I only earn less than 300 yuan a day.” Tasya was bitterly asking for help but did not expect that her good friend would suddenly become Mrs. Grafton. How could she not treat her as a backer?
“Sya, I really can’t help you now. I have to go back. I will look for you next time.” Emma could not sit still anymore. She desperately wanted to escape from Archie Grafton’s side but everyone around her treated her like a fool and advised her to treat Archie well.
What was wrong with this world? Could money really represent everything? It could buy love, buy people’s hearts, and buy everything.
Emma went downstairs in a daze. When she saw driver still waiting by the roadside, she felt deeply sorry and quickly got into the car.
The car drove all the way back to the Grafton Family’s Manor House.
Emma’s whole body was like a string, taut.
The car stopped at the entrance of the hall. Emma hesitated for a moment but still pushed the door and got out of the car.
When the butler Uncle Suan saw her, he immediately went forward and said, “Young mistress, young master will wait for you on the second floor.”
Emma froze and squeezed out a smile to reply. Then she slowly walked upstairs.
She had no way out, and no choice, except to marry him.
There were many rooms on the second floor. Emma did not know which room Archie was in, so she searched all the way.
In the last bedroom, she saw the man lying lazily on the sofa. He seemed to have fallen asleep.
Emma held her breath. She took a deep breath and stood at the door of the room, dumbfounded. She did not dare to step into the room.
She hesitated for a while, thinking that since Archie had fallen asleep, she should not disturb him. Otherwise, her crime could not be redeemed.
Just as she was about to turn around and leave, the man’s cold voice came, “Why didn’t you come in? Do you want me to invite you in?”
Emma was shocked. This man clearly had his eyes closed, but he actually knew that she was coming.
It was too scary.
“I thought you were asleep!” Emma lightly curled her lips.
The man slowly opened his dark eyes, his long and narrow eyes staring straight at the nervous and restless girl standing at the door.
“Did the people of Quinsley Family make things difficult for you?” The man lazily sat up with his hands behind his back. His eyes coldly swept across her tightly knitted brows as he asked.
