Chapter 85 A Painful Blow

Book:Dearest Wife Published:2024-5-1

After ending this topic, Archie continued driving forward. Emma’s mind was in a mess.
She felt that she was once a joke and very shameless. When she did not know that Yoseph and Archie had such a deep relationship, she went to ask Yoseph for help. The thing she wanted to help with was to divorce Archie.
Thinking of this, Emma really wanted to give herself two big slaps. In the future, when doing things, she had to bring her brain along. She didn’t want to be stupid again.
She did not dare to ask in detail how Yoseph took the knife for Archie back then, but just thinking about it was enough to make her heartache.
Archie regarded Yoseph as his brother, which meant that he valued friendship and loyalty, but what about Yoseph?
Emma really went crazy. She could not help but clench her little hands tightly. When she thought about what Yoseph had said, she felt inexplicably uneasy.
Today on the court, she had been worried that Yoseph would say some misleading words.
Fortunately, he did not say anything.
She hoped that Yoseph would also consider the brotherhood. He would throw away all the thoughts that he shouldn’t have and stop saying those words that he liked her.
Emily went to the audition and it was actually very successful. The director was very satisfied with her performance and the explosive force of the scene. He kept praising her because she was a good actor. He wanted her to participate in the TV series that he had. The star of tomorrow was just around the corner.
After the setback over the past few days and getting praised by her, Emily felt a little smug.
In her dreams at night, she dreamed that she was standing on the big shining stage and receiving the crazy adoration and love of everyone.
Emily wanted to find someone to celebrate such a joyous event, but after looking through her WeChat Moments, she found that there was no one worth sharing with her. In the end, she dressed up charmingly and beautifully and stepped on her high heels to knock on the door of the Sander family next door.
She stood at the bottom of the building and saw that there was a light in the bedroom on the second floor, which meant that Jimmy had returned. She wanted to see him, but she did not know why. Could it be that her body was conquered, and she became dependent on that man?
Emily instantly rejected the absurd idea that she would like Jimmy. She had a big dream. A woman who was in great pursuit might become a big shot in the future. To put it nicely, Jimmy was a talented person. A man with a bit of money, but he didn’t have his own company. He only worked for others, even if his salary was a million a year. What does that count as?
Therefore, Emily defined the matter of finding Jimmy as seeking excitement. That’s right. She liked excitement. It was best if she stole it.
Reaching out a finger, Emily pressed the doorbell of Jimmy’s house.
But she pressed the doorbell for a long time, and Jimmy did not come down to open the door. Emily was a little angry, so she pressed harder on the door and did not loosen it.
Not long after, Jimmy could not bear the disturbance and ran down to open the door with a dark face. He said angrily, “Emily, are you sick? Why did you come to find me in the middle of the night?”
“Jimmy, why are you angry? A beautiful woman like me came to find you. Shouldn’t you be more gentle?” Emily smiled charmingly as if she wanted to flirt with him.
“I’m not free. I have work to do.” Jimmy coldly refused her.
“It’s so cold outside. Can I come in and have a seat? Don’t worry. I will be very quiet and won’t disturb your work.” Emily said. She forcefully squeezed in. Jimmy wanted to chase her away. But the moment he touched her arm, Emily called out coquettishly. He was so scared that he quickly let go of her arm, thinking in his heart: As long as he did not touch her, she would not retreat even if she wanted to.
Emily walked to his living room leisurely and laid her beautiful body on the sofa. She said to Jimmy, “You are a big man living in such a big house. Don’t you feel lonely? How about I stay and accompany you tonight?”
“Emily, don’t get carried away here. Hurry up and leave.” Jimmy’s face was cold as he ordered her to leave.
Emily was completely annoyed. She stood up from the sofa and walked in front of Jimmy. She pulled the clothes on her chest to the side. “Jimmy, take a good look. How can I not be better than Emma? She is already married and you still have delusions of her. Don’t you think you have wasted your life?”
Jimmy looked indifferently at the two snow-white objects on her body, but his eyes were still cold. “You don’t understand me at all. If I really want a woman, she is much prettier than you. I feel that you women are the truly ridiculous ones. In front of others… A sacred and inviolable appearance, behind people… I, Jimmy, am not as rich as Archie. However, I am loyal to Emma.”
“Are you scolding me?” Emily felt like she was slapped twice on the spot.
“I am only advising you to cherish your body. That is the capital of your revolution. Don’t take the initiative to deliver yourself to a man just because he has a little figure.” Jimmy mocked her indifferently.
“Jimmy, you are really bullying me. I don’t believe that in your eyes, Emma is a fairy from the heavens. Without any distracting thoughts, perhaps when she was in Archie’s bed she is even more lascivious than me, even more shameless than me.” Emily was about to go crazy from anger. How could she not be angry when Jimmy, whom she had always looked down on, refused her and humiliate her like this?
“Shut up!” Jimmy stretched out his hand and grabbed her neck. “If you dare to speak nonsense again, do you believe that I will strangle you right now?”
“Cough… I will say it when I say it. You strangle me. Anyway, I don’t have the face to live in anymore. I gave it to you the first time, Jimmy. If you have the guts, strangle me. Anyway, I’m just a joke.” Emily suddenly started to cry in grief and grievance.
Jimmy was shocked. He let go of his hand and walked upstairs with a pale face. “I said I will not be responsible for you, but if you want money, I will give it to you.”
“How much money do you have in the future? Can you give me five million? If you do, I’ll treat it as a dog biting me.” Emily raised her head and looked at his figure as he went upstairs and shouted loudly.
Jimmy’s footsteps paused and a hint of ridicule flashed across his face. After that, he walked up the stairs even more quickly.
“You just don’t have money. Jimmy, what’s wrong with being with me? I am the young lady of Quinsley Family after all. You won’t be short of money in the future.” Emily knew that Jimmy would not be able to fork out that much money because he only had talent.
A few minutes later, Jimmy quickly went downstairs and threw a card on the table. “There is exactly five million in here. The password is Emma’s birthday. Take it and leave quickly.”
“What?” Emily did not expect that she would dig a hole and really jump down. Her beautiful eyes were round.
She took the card in disbelief, “There is really five million? Where did you get so much money? Jimmy, did you rob a bank?”
Jimmy was so angry that his face turned green. He said angrily, “Emily, let me tell you, don’t look down on people anymore. Since young, other than looking down on Emma and me, what else can you do? You are the one who looks down on people the most.”
Emily was actually just casually saying it. Who asked her to be born with a cheap mouth. After being scolded, her expression was somewhat pale as she said unhappily, “What are you angry about? How can I not look down on you? The one I don’t like is Emma. Towards you, I have always admired you.”
“Don’t say nice words here. Right now I only want to quietly do my work. You better leave quickly.” Jimmy still wanted to chase her away.
Emily threw the card into her bag and walked to the door of the hall. She turned around to look at him. “Oh right, I have another request. You must satisfy me.”
Jimmy ignored her with a cold face.
“I heard that many famous female celebrities from the Civada International like to go to the Miuccia International Studio to customize dresses. I hope you can design two suits for me personally. How about it? Do you agree? I will pay.” Emily was afraid that Jimmy would refuse, so she added that she would pay later on.
“When do you want it?” Jimmy glanced at her and asked coldly.
“I went to the mirror yesterday. I’m going to act as the female lead of a television series soon. When I want it, it depends on when I become famous. You can design it first. When I want it, I will definitely come to you.” After Emily said that, she left in her high heels.
The door behind her was closed. Emily stood alone on the empty street and suddenly felt cold all over.
She turned around and stared at the tightly shut door. For some reason, her heart felt a little sad.
How did she end up like this? Even Archie had given her all kinds of gifts in the past to please her, let alone other men who were as excited as bees seeing flowers when they saw her. They constantly found all kinds of topics to chat with her.
Only Jimmy, and only him, could be so heartless as to chase her out.
Emily, you have really failed. After losing to Emma, you were also looked down upon by Jimmy.
However, for some reason, you were scolded and chased away by Jimmy. Emily actually could not get angry with him. Maybe she had been too hypocritical all these years. Everyone surrounded her and held her so high. It was only when Emma snatched Archie away that she fell so hard.
So what if she came from a good family? So what if she did not have to worry about food and clothing? She still felt empty in her heart.
Reaching out her hand to take out the bank card in her bag, Emily’s expression was somewhat dazed. In the past, there was also a man who gave her the bank card and she threw it back, but why did she want to keep it this time?
“Jimmy, you are the first man who rejected me, but why do I want to get closer to you?” Emily’s empty heart finally seemed to grasp something. It was heavy, making her feel a little more at ease.
The feeling of being scolded and beaten back to her original form actually made her feel at ease. What a strange feeling.
It was already seven o’clock when Archie brought Emma back to the Grafton Family. However, Emma’s heart still could not calm down.
Perhaps she would not be able to return to that calmness in the future. The older one grew, the more things one experienced, the more complicated one’s heart would become.
Just like how she and Tasya had never had any secrets. Now, there was also a secret, a secret that could not be told to others.
This made Emma feel pain, but there was no other way. She could only keep it a secret.
