Emma hung up her grandfather’s phone in disappointment. Her heart was in so much pain that it felt like an old scar had been mercilessly torn open again.
She was not blessed to come to this world. Her mother did not love her and her father had never even looked at her. Sometimes, she even wondered if her father was still alive.
Only her grandmother had given her warmth and care, but her grandmother had passed away prematurely due to illness. For so many years, she had been looking forward to her mother suddenly appearing in front of her every day, hugging her, and letting her know. She wasn’t an illegitimate daughter, but an orphan.
Emily and the group of cousins had once angrily scolded her as a bastard child. Her father’s illegitimate daughter had been chased all the way by her with a fruit knife.
She was young, but she actually had the courage to chase someone with a knife. But now, as she grew older, she had more things to think about.
The Quinsley Family, this huge pit, was on her thin shoulder, making her unable to bear the burden.
When did this bottom become a head? When did she need to shamelessly beg Archie for help just because of a few words from her grandfather? If she didn’t say it out loud, who would really consider it on her behalf?
Because of that wedding, it would be very difficult to remove the third person’s hat from her head.
It was Archie. He had given her such an embarrassing wedding, but now he had come to confess to her. This man was like a devil. Love and hate were all up to him, but she didn’t even have the chance to resist.
“This is really unfair!” Emma gritted her teeth and punched the table. Her anger did not disappear, but her hand hurt.
Then, was this marriage going to be divorced or not?
If she could force Archie to take the initiative to divorce her, then she would not have to bear the heavy burden of the Quinsley Family.
Just treat it as her heartless and selfish one time. If no one lived in this world, they would have to bear a heavy burden. She wanted to live the carefree life she had in the past.
Her mind was filled with messy thoughts, but they did not take shape. They were all empty thoughts.
The phone that had just been thrown out suddenly rang again.
Thinking that it was her grandfather who called, Emma groaned in pain in annoyance. She reached out and took a look at the phone. It was an unknown number.
Emma was stunned for two seconds and saw that her phone was ringing. It did not seem like someone had made the wrong call.
“Hello, who is it?” She pressed it close to her ear and asked in a light voice.
“It’s me!” The two words were concise and powerful, but they also revealed his identity.
“Yoseph?” Hearing this voice, Emma actually called out his name with some joy.
She was worried that she would not be able to find his contact details. She did not expect that he would actually take the initiative to call her. It just so happened that she could explain the matter of the gift clearly.
“I’m very satisfied with your tie.” The man’s voice was beautiful. She could tell that he was in a good mood.
Emma’s eyes were wide open and she asked curiously, “That box contains a tie. I thought it was a belt or something.”
Tasya pretended to be mysterious and did not tell her what kind of gift was inside. So Emma guessed but did not expect it to be a tie.
“What do you mean?” Yoseph’s voice was tense. He questioned her coldly, “You gave me a gift, but you don’t know what it is? Are you playing with me?”
Emma quickly explained, “Don’t misunderstand. I didn’t give you that tie. My friend asked me to give it to you on behalf of her. It’s good that you like it. I can call her back.”
“Emma. . .” Suddenly, a man’s angry roar came from the other end of the phone. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out her name as if he wanted to expose her and eat her.
“What’s wrong? Didn’t you just say that you were very satisfied? Could it be that you lied to me?” How could Emma understand Yoseph’s thoughts? When she saw him angrily shouting her name, she thought that it was because he was not satisfied with his tie.
“Who allowed you to use other women’s things to make me happy?” Yoseph’s voice was cold, without a trace of warmth. If they were arguing in front of each other, he would have controlled himself to pinch her. This damned woman had wasted his expression. She was truly detestable.
Emma was stunned, unable to regain her senses for a long time. “Yoseph, calm down. What exactly happened? Do you not like this gift? But this was picked by my good friend Tasya after a long time. I believe in her taste. . .”
“Come to my company immediately and take this thing away from me. I’ll give you an hour. If you don’t come, I’ll send it directly to Archie’s office. I want him to see what kind of person his cute little wife is.” Yoseph was completely angered. Furthermore, this kind of anger could not be vented at all.
“Ah. . . Please don’t. Yoseph, if you have something to say, just say it. I will go and get the tie back now. Don’t go and find Archie.” Emma was so scared that she jumped up from the sofa. She was in a daze and begged for something good.
“Are you afraid? Weren’t you trying to get a divorce with him? I can bring the tie to Archie. He might really divorce you out of anger. Isn’t this what you want? Or. . . Did you go back on your word? Don’t want to divorce?” Yoseph did not expect her reaction to being like this and sneered.
Emma’s face was bitter. She was still begging him, “Yoseph, I will go now. Don’t look for Archie yet, okay?”
“Then tell me, you still don’t want to divorce?” Yoseph’s tone was full of anger as he questioned her even more fiercely.
Emma sighed and thought about it. “I may not divorce for the time being.”
“Emma, I did not expect you to go back on your word. A woman with weak willpower, get over here quickly.” Yoseph scolded her in a very serious tone. Then, her phone seemed to have been cut off by him.
Emma held the phone in her hand. Her mind was in a mess. Did Yoseph eat gunpowder?
If he did not like gifts, he could just return them. Why did he have to be so angry? He even gives it back to her.
“It’s over. How am I going to explain this to Tasya? She’ll definitely be very sad.” Emma had a headache.
After getting Uncle Suan to arrange a car for her, Emma did not dare to delay for even a second and went straight to the Wolfleim Corporation Building.
When they were about to reach the destination, she deliberately let the driver stop far away. She walked over alone.
When she thought about the last time she had made things difficult for the driver at the front desk, Emma furrowed her brows. What if she was not allowed to go up? She had to call Yoseph again.
When she walked into the hall, a young man walked over and asked her with a smile, “Miss Emma, I am President Yoseph’s assistant. My name is Wira. President Yoseph specifically asked me to come downstairs to pick you up.”
“Hello, please take me upstairs quickly.” Emma thought of Yoseph’s threatening words and felt cold all over.
Wira looked at her strangely and thought in his heart, This Mrs. Grafton is quite bold. She actually wants to see young master so urgently. Is she going to walk out of the wall?
Emma also felt Wira looking at her and suddenly felt embarrassed. She wanted to explain but could not say anything.
The elevator went up and Emma’s two small hands tightly gripped her handbag. She did not know what to do.
She had only met Yoseph a few times. This time, he was inexplicably angry and she really did not know what to do.
The elevator door opened and she followed Wira to a tightly shut office door.
Wira turned to look at her and said, “Miss Emma, go in. President Yoseph is waiting for you inside.”
“Don’t you want to go in together?” Emma suddenly asked.
Wira was shocked and immediately said, “President Yoseph is looking for you, but he is not looking for me.”
Emma thought about it and agreed. She just wanted Wira to go in together with her to avoid gossip and help ease the atmosphere.
Now it seemed that she could only face it alone.
She knocked on the door and heard a man’s cold voice, “Come in!”
Emma braced herself and pushed open the door. She saw Yoseph sitting on a big black chair behind the desk.
He looked up coldly and stared at her, who was standing at the door helplessly. His voice was so cold that there was no warmth in it. “The thing is on the sofa. Take it away immediately.”
Emma’s beautiful eyes glanced and indeed saw the packaging yesterday. She could only walk over with a dry smile and carry it in her hands. She said apologetically. “Sorry to disturb you. I will leave now.”
After Emma said the words of apology, she was prepared to leave but did not expect that the man who was sitting on the big chair earlier had already stood up and followed closely behind her.
Her hand held the door handle and opened a crack. Suddenly, a large palm heavily pushed open the door and the door immediately closed again.
Emma’s beautiful eyes widened in an instant. She nervously looked at Yoseph who was leaning against the wall of the door. “Didn’t you want me to leave as soon as possible? Why didn’t you let me leave?”
“Do you think this is a place where you can come and go whenever you want?” Yoseph’s tone was cold, and his gaze was also cold as he locked her panicked little face.
Emma’s heart skipped a beat and her voice carried a trace of uneasiness. “You asked me to come, not me. Of course you want me to leave.”
“Emma, if you can’t afford to play, then don’t provoke me.” Yoseph suddenly pushed her slender body against the wall of the door. In the next moment, he pushed his other hand over and wrapped her around his chest and the wall of the door. His voice was so cold that it could not be any colder.
“Yoseph, what are you doing? Go away!” Emma was shocked. Her face was pale, but her tone was a little angry.
“You are the one who came to beg me for a divorce. Why are you asking me now? Emma, you are quite bold. You even dare to play with me.” Yoseph was completely enraged. His voice was filled with shame and anger.
Emma’s beautiful eyes were wide open. Obviously, she did not understand the meaning of his words. She looked at the man’s angry face for a long time before asking with a face full of embarrassment, “Yoseph. When did I fool you? Last time, I begged you to help me, but didn’t you coldly reject me? Later, it was you who inexplicably said you wanted to help me unconditionally. I don’t want to get divorced, this is my personal matter. It doesn’t have much to do with you.”
“Not in the past, but now!” Yoseph’s handsome face was unclear and uncertain. After that, he took back the large palm that was propped by her side and coldly turned around to walk to his office chair. “I want you to divorce Archie now. You must divorce him.”
