Seduction?
Emma smiled bitterly. What an unpleasant word. If she hadn’t been used by Archie to marry into the Grafton Family, why would she seduce Jimmy?
All the suffering was caused by her. Therefore, she couldn’t blame anyone.
Since she could not get rid of this job, Emma decided to do this job well and explore her future path.
Perhaps it was because her mentality was not correct that she was influenced by Jimmy.
If she could be like Jimmy and distinguish between public and private matters, she would not need to be so sentimental.
Her phone suddenly rang.
Emma glanced at it and saw a familiar number.
He whispered a line beside her ear.
“It’s your first day at work. How do you feel?” His deep voice was filled with charm and elegance. Who else could it be but Archie?
It was rare that he, a busy man, didn’t forget to pay attention to her.
But Emma’s current grief and heartache, how could it be alleviated by a word of concern from him?
Wasn’t he the person who caused the situation between her and Jimmy?
The grievance in her heart made Emma’s tone not very good. She replied coldly, “It’s alright. If there’s nothing else, I still have to work.”
“You can’t hang up the phone!” Archie’s domineering and dangerous tone came straight at him.
Although Emma was angry and her heart was extremely uncomfortable, she did not dare to ignore this man’s threat. She did not hang up the phone.
Archie’s tone suddenly became somewhat irritated. “What kind of attitude is this? I take the initiative to call you, but you don’t welcome me?”
Emma could not suppress the grief and indignation in her heart as she spoke. “I don’t need your concern. I am really very good.”
“If it is really good, why are you so cold to me? Who are you pretending to be strong for? Have you been bullied?” Archie was a shrewd man. From her tone, he could tell that her first day at work was not good.
Emma’s eyes were red and tears were rolling down her cheeks. She took a deep breath to make herself less fragile. “Aren’t you the one who bullied me?”
Archie was stunned!
“Please don’t disturb my work. I don’t want to be fired for my first job.” Emma blamed him. After that, she had to calm her tone and beg him to let her go.
Archie cut off the phone in a second.
The long-lost voice made Emma’s mood fall even further.
She must get a divorce!
She really had no way of getting along peacefully with Archie. She could not get over the hurdle in her heart. Not to mention, she still missed the tenderness Jimmy had for her. Even if she did not dare to have extravagant hopes for Jimmy now, she also did not want to suffer the torture. Being with Archie, completely ruined her life.
Gustav Quinsley went on a business trip to Country Y. Other than coming to discuss the cooperation, he also had another matter that he was worried about, which was going to the mental hospital to visit his daughter.
Sitting in the hospital’s office, Gustav’s face seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. Opposite him, the attending physician was telling him the result of the most recent period of time.
“Mr. Gustav, there is something I need to verify with you. Of course, this is your private matter. But as a doctor, I still have the responsibility to tell you about this matter. “Chief Physician Jack said solemnly.
Gustav Quinsley looked up at him and asked in English, “What is it? Please speak.”
“I heard you mention Miss Dinda having a daughter last time? Is that so?”
Gustav nodded. “Yes.”
At that time, Gustav Quinsley wanted the doctor to do his best to save his daughter, so he mentioned that he had a young granddaughter.
The attending physician said with an expression of shock, “Mr. Gustav, here, I have to tell you one thing. Not long ago, we did a full body examination on Miss Dinda and we found that she did not have a child!”
“What?” Gustav Quinsley was shocked by this fact. His eyes were filled with shock.
Jack nodded with certainty. “We have confirmed this again. Miss Dinda indeed did not give birth, so I am sorry. I do not know if this matter will cause you and your granddaughter to be burdened.”
Gustav’s face was pale for a long time, and he seemed to have aged even more. Emma was not Dinda Quinsley’s child? Then whose child was she?
Facing such an accident, Gustav’s thoughts went back to that rainy night twenty years ago.
His daughter carried a baby girl back in a daze. At that time, her mind was no longer clear. She only kept muttering and pressing the baby against her face, continuously saying that “it was my child, my child!”
That was why Gustav Quinsley had to take that child seriously. Although so many years had passed, he had never doubted anything. Furthermore, his wife was still alive at that time, and she was extremely precious to Emma. He directly treated her as a substitute for his daughter and carefully raised her.
Now, Emma had also grown up. His wife passed away when Emma was seven years old. No one had ever doubted anything.
At this moment, what Jack said made Gustav Quinsley take it seriously.
“Are you sure my daughter did not have children?” Gustav Quinsley still could not accept this fact.
“I am sure!” Jack answered him with a very certain tone.
Gustav Quinsley slowly calmed down. He suddenly stared into Jack’s eyes and said seriously, “Doctor, please keep this a secret for me. I don’t want such an unexpected result to hurt my family.”
“Don’t worry. We will keep the patient’s secret.” Jack nodded.
Gustav stood up and followed a nurse to the ward where his daughter was locked.
Dinda Quinsley was like a madman as she squatted on the chair and muttered something. She was counting her hair one by one.
Looking at his daughter like this, Gustav felt very sad. Even though he had been through a lot of hardships, his eyes were still moist.
In the end, he couldn’t bear to watch any longer. He turned around, left behind a large sum of money, and left.
He sat in the car returning to the hotel. Gustav Quinsley’s face was still solemn. Regarding the secret that Emma wasn’t the granddaughter of Quinsley Family, he wouldn’t tell her even if he died. Especially when he had mercilessly pushed Emma to Archie, Emma would have to be a part of Quinsley Family.
Gustav closed his eyes and thought tiredly. If Emma wasn’t the daughter of Dinda, who would she be?
But regarding this answer, he would never want to know. It was just a guess.
At 5:30 in the afternoon, Emma prepared to get off work.
Jimmy suddenly appeared in front of her desk and said with an indifferent tone, “Let’s have dinner together tonight.”
Emma was startled and looked up at him. Her eyes were a little rough. “Jimmy, don’t be like this. We. . .”
“Am I no longer qualified to eat with my deskmate? Grafton young mistress?” Jimmy lowered his head and lowered his voice.
