Emma stood blankly at the door. Her mind went blank as she looked at the cold figure in shock.
“What did you say?” Emma was extremely shocked. She could not believe that Yoseph would say such cold words.
Yoseph stood in front of the desk. The large palm supported the edge of the desk. His gaze passed through the floor-to-ceiling window and looked into the distance. His voice was cold and deep, but there was also a trace of pain. “Who do you think you provoked? Emma. Don’t tell me that you will not leave when I have taken a fancy to you. You can’t bear the consequences of playing with me like this.”
Emma was stunned. Why did Yoseph say such misunderstood words again?
When did she provoke him? On the night of the wedding, it was clearly him who went to the wrong room. She did not charge him for trespassing, but he still used a gun to threaten her to keep her mouth shut.
Although later on, she used that incident as an excuse to find him, didn’t he reject all of them? She also did not continue to threaten him.
“Yoseph, what do you mean? If it was because I annoyed you with the gift, I apologize to you. It was indeed because I did not think it through and mistaken you for liking my friend. That’s why I agreed to help my friend.” Emma’s heart was in a mess. She suppressed her trembling and pretended to be calm as she spoke.
“Who is your friend? What does it have to do with me? I accepted this gift because of you, right?” Yoseph suddenly turned around and looked at her coldly. His tone was filled with anger.
“Because of me?” Emma’s mind was in chaos. It was as if someone had thrown a stone into her heart. Waves of uneasiness spread out. “Why is it because of me?”
“I thought it was a gift from you, so I accepted it happily. If I knew that it was a gift from your friend, I wouldn’t even take a second look.” Yoseph’s voice was full of sarcasm, and his face was full of contempt.
“So you don’t know my friend Tasya? But she clearly said that she joined the crew because of your arrangement. It’s impossible that you don’t know her.” Emma was so angry that she wanted to explain this matter clearly.
Yoseph sneered and said sarcastically: “The friend you are talking about is the woman you were looking for the other day when we met at the elevator?”
“That’s right, that’s her!” Emma nodded vigorously.
“Do you really not understand, or are you pretending not to understand? Why should I give her a chance? Isn’t it all because of you? The one I’m trying to please is you, not another woman.” This fool really didn’t understand. Yoseph didn’t mind making it clear.
“What?” Emma was completely stunned. Her back was stiff and cold as she stuck to the wall of the door. Her legs were a little weak and she felt as if she was going to collapse.
“Emma, let me give you another word of advice. Luisa is back. Archie’s real girlfriend has appeared. Will she still have your status?” Yoseph’s eyes were cold and his tone was cold.
“Luisa?” Emma’s brain kept working and she suddenly thought of the elegant and noble woman that Archie was in a hurry to meet at the Quinsley Family’s banquet that afternoon.
Could it be. . .
Is she Luisa?
The girl that Archie had arranged for? The candidate that the Grafton Family had designated for young mistress?
Yoseph’s voice slowly returned to normal. He said faintly. “Think about it carefully. Do you want to be chased out of the Grafton Family in a sorry state, or do you want to give up your position and return what originally belonged to her to her?”
Emma’s heart was in a mess. She did not want to answer his question, so she forcefully opened the door and rushed out.
Yoseph’s eyes stared deeply at the door that she had not closed in a hurry, and suddenly felt a little annoyed.
What was wrong with him? Because she had given gifts of another woman, he suddenly became so angry, like a jealous husband.
I’m afraid that even I can’t sort out those strange feelings in my heart anymore.
Emma ran down the hall door in one breath, as if she was fleeing for her life. She kept hearing Yoseph’s words by her ears.
Luisa had returned. Was there still a place for her?
Was she, the fake Mrs. Grafton, going to take the initiative to give up her position?
If she was chased out, how embarrassing and shamefull would she be?
Emma vigorously shook her head, wanting to throw those cold and indifferent voices out of her mind.
She sat in the car in a daze and returned to the Grafton Family. She stood in the hall and saw Uncle Suan smiling and welcoming her. Emma’s heart felt like it had been pierced by a thorn, and it hurt.
“Young mistress, you still have two meals of medicine to take yesterday. Are you feeling better?” Uncle Suan asked her with concern.
Emma suddenly felt a little bitter. Her eyes were red and she shook her head. “I don’t want to eat anymore. I have fully recovered from my cold.”
“Then what does young mistress want to drink? I’ll get someone to prepare it for you and bring it upstairs.” Uncle Suan was now taking care of Emma’s daily meals and was very attentive.
“Thank you, Uncle Suan. I don’t want to eat anything right now.” Emma avoided Uncle Suan’s concerned eyes. She lowered her head and hurried upstairs.
What should she do? She suddenly felt that everything in Grafton Family was fine. She was used to living here and was used to it.
Was her heart starting to become vain? Was she unwilling to give up the wealth and glory in front of her?
Emma returned to her bedroom in pain and threw herself into the sofa. She covered her face. What exactly was she greedy for?
– – –
Emily recently was not in a very good mood because Emma’s happiness made her suffer.
After a few days of drunken life and death, she suddenly felt that if this continued, it would only cheat her precious body. Smoking and drinking really made her not interested anymore.
“Emily, didn’t you want to be an actress before? Now that there is a chance, do you want to give it a try?” Caroline, saw that her daughter was unhappy recently and deliberately reminded her.
Emily weakly sat up from the bed and her tone was indifferent. “Mom, I am not in the mood to act now.”
“You cannot continue to be depressed like this. Emma is advancing but you are retreating step by step. The one who will be embarrassed in the end will only be yourself.” Caroline encouraged her.
“Mom, am I really not comparable to Emma? Why is she the only one in all men’s hearts? Before it was Archie and now Jimmy is the same. What’s wrong with all these men?” Emily pulled her hair in hatred, wanting to find an answer.
Caroline was shocked and immediately asked with a dark face, “Emily, what happened between you and Jimmy?”
Emily was instantly shocked by her mother’s question and naturally did not dare to say that she had a night with Jimmy. She could only pretend to be indifferent and said, “Mom, didn’t you ask me to seduce Jimmy? If I seduce Jimmy, Emma will feel heartache. This is what I have been doing recently.”
“With your identity, it should be impossible for Jimmy to resist your charm to get close to him. What’s the result? Quickly tell Mom.” Caroline asked curiously. She was very confident in her daughter’s charm.
Emily did not dare to tell the truth because her mother would be sad and could only lie to her and say, “If your daughter goes out, will Jimmy still be able to escape from my palm? Of course, he cares about your daughter in all kinds of ways to please her.”
“Daughter, I have to give you a reminder. Although the Sander family is also a family of books and incense, their family background can’t be compared to our Quinsley Family. Don’t fall head first into it. You can have some fun with him. Mom doesn’t care about it. If you fall in love with him. . . Mom won’t agree.” Caroline always felt that no matter what, her daughter was at a disadvantage.
Emily was a little irritated, “Mom, don’t worry. I am not that stupid to lose myself.”
“Well, in my opinion, don’t play a relationship game with Jimmy anymore. Mom will be more at ease if you manage a business peacefully.” Caroline felt that girls should also prioritize their career. Only then would they be safe.
In order to make her mother not worry, Emily had to say seriously, “Okay. I also want to find a career that suits me. Mom, what did you say about acting just now? What do you mean?”
“It’s like this, Mom’s friend. His son is now a famous young director and directing many good works. Recently, he has been recruiting a female lead. I want you to try it out.” Caroline immediately explained happily.
“Mom, do you really think I can act?” Emily was a little uncertain.
“Acting is secondary. A goddess who has become a big shot. When the time comes, you can have any man you want.” Caroline’s ambition was huge.
Emily felt that it made sense and nodded. “Okay, then I will go and try.”
“Daughter, you have to perform better. Mom will help you to get closer. You will definitely be the number one female.” Caroline was very happy that her daughter was shocked again.
Emily also seemed to suddenly have confidence. That’s right, if she relied on her own strength to make herself look like a person instead of being called the young mistress of Quinsley Family, perhaps there would be even more men who would want to get her.
The sky darkened and dusk arrived. Outside the window, the drizzle was like a sponge and it was rainy at the end of autumn. It made people feel depressed.
Emma did not turn on the lights. She just sat on the sofa in a daze. She kept thinking about Yoseph’s words.
Was he confessing to her?
Madness. It was a mess. Why did Yoseph say such strange things to her?
How could he possibly like her? He was the only son of Wolfleim Family. What kind of beauty did he not have? Why did he choose her? Was his eyes as blind as Archie’s?
Emma was so angry that she pounded her confused head. This was ridiculous. What kind of foresight did Yoseph have? Why did he pick her?
What about Tasya?
Emma suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. She woke up from her daze and looked out the window blankly.
That’s right, if the person Yoseph liked was her. . . What about Tasya?
Tasya had always thought that Yoseph liked her, which was why he chose her to play the supporting role.
It was over. Things had gotten out of hand. Emma felt that her life path had gone astray again, and it was even very polite.
If Tasya knew Yoseph’s true thoughts, would she cut off all relations with her?
If it really came to this, she would regret it to death. Tasya was her only friend, a good friend who had experienced laughter and tears together.
She had never thought that she would fall out with Tasya because of a man, but this time, it made her very worried.
