Emily saw that the other end of the phone was silent and sneered very proudly, “How does it feel to be alone in an empty room? Do you think this is karma? You guys have only been married for a few days and Archie has already go out from his home at night. Emma, snatching other people’s men, the outcome is just like this. You have to get used to it.”
“Why should I believe what you said? Do you think I’m a three-year-old child?” Emma retorted.
Emily was charming. She said unhappily: “It’s up to you whether you believe it or not. Anyway, I know about this matter. Luisa and Archie were engaged to each other since they were young. In the upper class, this was a public secret. In the past, when Luisa went missing, no one mentioned this matter. Now, Luisa had returned. Emma, are you afraid?”
Luisa’s three words were like Emma’s devil barrier. Almost everyone who had seen her had to mention her.
“Why should I be afraid? If Archie and I are destined to break up, I will be separated from him. I am not like you. I have only lost a man, but what you have lost is the power of the entire Grafton Family.” Emma said in a mocking tone.
“Emma, don’t pretend to be so noble. I don’t believe that you can really be indifferent to fame and fortune. You are not greedy for money. It is because you have never had a decent life of wealth since you were young. When you get what money brings you. I believe you can’t stop this addiction, just wait and see… You will become the second me and be ridiculed by everyone.” Emily scolded her with a vicious tone.
“Emily, you should continue living your own life. Don’t be like an old hag and come here every day to gossip about other people’s family matters. This will lose your status as the young mistress of Quinsley Family.” Emma’s heart was burning with anger after being scolded, and she immediately retaliated with a cold voice.
“You dare to scold me?! Emma, don’t forget, you are just a parasite of the Quinsley Family. You will always be. Even if you climb up a tree and become a phoenix, you will never be able to change your humble background.” Emily was about to go crazy from anger. She no longer had any image of herself when she spoke.
Emma’s small face turned pale and she immediately cut off the call.
Parasite?
In the past, when she scolded the bastard child, she thought that it was the ugliest word. It turned out that there were even worse words.
Fortunately, she did not care anymore.
However, was it really as Emily had said? Archie and Luisa were together?
Emma’s heart ached to the point that she could not breathe. She really could not eat a mouthful of food and greeted Uncle Suan. Then she went upstairs.
She filled the bathtub with water and buried herself in the warm water.
She was afraid of water, but her brain was in a mess right now, so she could only try to sink her head into the water.
“Ah… Help!” That kind of terrifying nightmare, when her facial features were immersed in the water, crazily surged over.
Her two small hands waved randomly, grabbing the edge of the bathtub. Only then did she raise her head, her small face was so pale that it was colorless.
With this fright, her brain became clear. In the face of life and death, those unreasonable feelings were nothing.
Emily did not want her to be good, to begin with. Therefore, she chose not to believe her words.
Archie, who was far away in L Country, had just come out of the bathroom. The sturdy strong body was wearing a loose white bathrobe.
After sleeping for a few hours on the plane, he was still a little tired. He threw himself on the bed and closed his eyes to sleep.
But for some reason, his arms were always empty, and he wanted to hug something to sleep on.
Archie laughed self-deprecatingly. How long had it been? He had already gotten used to hugging that little thing and sleeping.
The sky was slightly bright. Archie woke up, changed into a set of clothes, and opened the door.
Standing on the balcony on the second floor, his cold eyes slightly narrowed. He saw Luisa, who was wearing a dignified and elegant dress, on the small path in the garden downstairs. She was pushing grandfather on a wheelchair for a walk.
Both of them had smiles on their faces, and no one knew what they were talking about.
Archie’s heart froze, and he quickly walked downstairs.
After so many years, he still had a certain understanding of Luisa. This woman was born in a rich and powerful family, and she had been influenced by the conflicts between adults since she was young. Although she was young, sometimes she was experienced and shrewd.
He remembered that when he was young, he saw Luisa go and get a toy from a little kid. She was discovered and adults rushed over. She directly fell to the ground and ground her hands. When the adult came, she cried and said that it was a child who pushed her. She just picked up the toy and wanted to return it to them, so… All the adults were coaxing her, and the children who were wrongly accused would only stupidly explain and say that they didn’t push her. With solid evidence, who would believe that stupid child?
Ever since that time, Archie’s young heart had driven this woman out. Although he was also very cynical and dark at that time, at least, he used it to resist the protection of those who had ill intentions and approached him. And he rarely had the intention to harm others.
“Grandpa, you got up so early to take a walk? I heard from Mrs. Herma that you are not feeling well. Are you feeling better now?” Archie walked through the garden trail and greeted his grandpa with a smile.
Luisa saw that Archie was dressed in a well-ironed suit and had a noble temperament. He was handsome and looked like he was smiling. It made her unable to move her eyes away.
Old Master from Grafton Family. Although He was old, his dignity was still there. He looked at his grandson’s smiling face and snorted lightly. “Aren’t you now with your little wife? Why do you have time to care about how is this old man doing?”
Archie was stunned for a moment. From his grandfather’s tone, it seemed like he was very dissatisfied with his marriage with Emma.
Luisa’s expression was somewhat happy. Grandpa still doted on her very much. Archie was afraid that he would not be able to pass this stage.
“Luisa, you should leave first. I have something to say to this kid.” Grandpa immediately said to Luisa kindly.
Luisa quickly and gently nodded. “Okay. Grandpa has something to do. Call me. I am in the living room.”
Luisa brushed past Archie and looked at his face with a complicated expression for a second before she hurried away.
Archie walked over and pushed his grandfather towards the scenic area on the other side.
“What does grandpa want to tell me?” Archie’s voice was clean and clear.
Old Master hit the armrest of the wheelchair with regret. “I was too old. When you got married, I didn’t stop you in time. That’s why you and Luisa were in such a passive position.”
“Grandpa, what do you mean by that?” Archie frowned and asked in a deep voice.
“What do you mean? Do you still not understand? Luisa is such a good girl. She loves you wholeheartedly. If you can marry her, it will be a blessing that you have cultivated for a few lifetimes.” Old Master said with pity, his face full of pain.
Archie snorted lightly. “Grandfather, I mean to say that I don’t have any emotional support for the wife that I am marrying now.”
“Isn’t that so? Don’t think that I live far away. I don’t know what happened to you. Aren’t you being too reckless on the day of your wedding? Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at? And that little girl, Emma. She knew how to climb onto a man’s bed at such an old age. If you marry this kind of girl, even if I die, I won’t be able to rest in peace.” Old Master said angrily and embarrassingly.
Archie knew that his grandfather would definitely ask about this. Therefore, he had long been prepared. He could only explain lightly, “Grandfather, you misunderstood Emma. Actually, it was your grandson, I, who was shameless and obscene. I fed her medicine and made her climb onto my bed on her own accord.”
“What? You rebellious grandson!” When Old Master heard this, he almost gasped for air. He turned his hand and struck Archie’s arm with his palm. “What nonsense are you talking about? Do you know how to write the word ‘disgrace’?”
“Grandfather, I had a crush on her a long time ago. In order to get her, I did everything I could. If you really want to scold me, then scold me. It is your grandson who is unfilial and is unable to be a good person. However, his brain is full of schemes and plots, causing harm to a good girl.” Archie had long made sufficient preparations. Even if he was scolded and beaten by his grandfather… He just didn’t want to divorce Emma.
“I really want to beat you to death!” Old Master stood up and slapped his handsome face. Five fingerprints were printed on his jade-like face. It was a shocking sight.
Archie lowered his head. He did not resist at all.
Old Master looked at his masterpiece and was shocked. Since he was young, how could he bear to hit this precious grandson?
However, when he heard his foolish words just now, he couldn’t help it.
“Forget it. Who asked me to teach you those tricks since young? It’s my fault” Old Master sighed in self-mockery.
When Archie saw that his grandfather had finally calmed down, he continued speaking. “This has nothing to do with grandfather. It is my personal sin. So, I am trying to make up for this mistake.”
“How did you make up for it? You took the girl’s pure body…”
“I can only love her more, take care of her, care of her.” Archie interrupted his grandfather’s words and answered seriously.
“You bastard!” Old Master was so angry that he cursed again, “Will she accept your kindness? In my opinion, you should give her a large sum of money and let her find another man she loves to marry. Don’t harm her.”
“Grandpa, do you really want to see her marry someone else while carrying your great-grandson?” Archie said with a smile.
“What? What did you say? Say it again! My great-grandson?” Old Master was obviously shocked by these words and did not recover from his ecstasy.
Archie nodded. “That’s right, she is pregnant, my child!”
Old Master did not recover from his shock for a long time. His eyes sparkled as he looked at the ground. Then he said in pain, “You have really committed a sin. Do you know that you are engaged to Luisa?”
“I know, but that was made by you and her grandfather. I have no right to speak. So I don’t recognize it.” Archie immediately answered seriously.
Old Master glared at him angrily. “If your great-grandfather was killed on the battlefield, you wouldn’t be as ridiculous as you in this world.”
When Archie heard this, He really wanted to laugh out loud. “Grandpa, you are really stubborn. Isn’t love and marriage only formed because of fate? When you married my grandmother back then, did you remember it in your heart? Was it your first love?”
Old Master was instantly at a loss for words.
He had taught his grandson to be too smart. He was just asking for trouble.
