Chapter 135 She Took the Initiative to Take the Blame

Book:Dearest Wife Published:2024-5-1

Old Master’s one word, and the whole scene went quiet, and the guests looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.
Emma’s small hand holding Archie’s shirt suddenly froze, and her beautiful eyes widened in shock.
Ferdie did not know why. He turned his head and saw that his father’s face was ugly and gloomy. He quickly asked, “Dad, why did you turn off the music?”
Old Master stood up. The maid quickly helped him up and walked to the stage.
Archie’s handsome face suddenly changed. He pulled Emma behind him to protect her.
“Grandpa, what happened?” Archie asked with a stiff expression.
Old Master said with a stern voice. He looked at his grandson with a pair of sharp eyes. “Archie, tell me honestly, is she pregnant or not?”
When these words came out of his mouth, other than Yoseph and Luisa, everyone was stunned.
Archie strong body suddenly shook his head. The light in his gloomy eyes flickered, and he turned his head to the side. Facing Emma’s equally stiff eyes, he frowned and asked, “Why did grandfather suddenly ask this?”
“Don’t mind why I asked. I just want to know if you lied to me, this old man.” Old Master stared at this grandson who had been raised by him since he was young. He had always thought that this grandson would never lie to him.
Archie’s handsome face was gloomy. He wanted to answer his grandfather’s painful question, but he didn’t know how to answer it.
Emma was so scared that her whole body was trembling and her face turned pale. After that, she quickly stepped forward and lowered her face as she said in a guilty tone. “Grandfather, don’t blame Archie. It was all my fault. I. . . I am not pregnant!”
“Emma. . .” Archie did not expect this woman to stand out and take all the blame on her. His handsome face was stiff.
Emma turned her head to look at him and said in a pale voice, “Archie, let’s not lie to grandpa anymore.”
Old Master stared at Emma. He pointed at her with a trembling finger and said, “Very good. Very good, a good grandson taught by me that have never lied to anyone since he was young. Today, for you. . . He actually dared to lie to me, a dying person. Emma. . . How can I trust you to give the position of the Mistress of Grafton Family to you? You are so young and yet you are so unscrupulous. I am really disappointed.”
“Grandpa, this was all my idea. It has nothing to do with Emma. If you want to blame someone, blame me.” Archie saw that his grandfather was so angry that his face turned ashen. He hurriedly stepped forward to explain.
However, Emma was the first to step forward and admit her mistake. Old Master had already determined that she was the mastermind. Furthermore, in his heart, his grandson had always been the most outstanding and the person that made him proud. How could he believe that it was his grandson’s fault?
Emma’s tears fell like rain. She was in a state of panic. She said with a trembling voice, “I’m sorry, grandfather. I have let down your kindness. I know I was wrong. Please don’t blame Archie. I am willing to bear all the consequences.”
“Emma, don’t say anymore!” Of course, Archie knew that Emma was actively standing up to bear all of this. She was protecting him, but how could he need a woman to protect him? Furthermore, it was the woman he loved the most. He looked anxiously at the frightened girl. Her face was covered in tears and her delicate makeup was also in tears.
Emma closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she still did not regret taking on all of this.
Old Master was so angry that his chest hurt. He endured the pain and pointed at Emma’s face and said sternly, “On account that you took the initiative to admit it, I can let you go, but the marriage between you and Archie will be canceled. You won’t have the chance to step into the Grafton Family again.”
Emma’s delicate body trembled violently, and her beautiful eyes widened in an instant.
Archie was also completely stunned. He widened his eyes as much as he could, and looked at the dumbstruck girl beside him.
“Grandfather, I must marry her today. I don’t care if you agree or not!” Archie’s voice was firm, and there was no room for negotiation.
Old Master, on the other hand, panted heavily. Before he could say anything, he had already fainted from the air.
“Grandfather. . .”
“Dad!”
Ferdie hurriedly held Old Master up and looked at his son with a reproachful gaze. “You know that grandpa is not in good health, but why are you still angry with him?”
Archie’s whole body was stiff and cold.
Emma wiped away her tears and urgently said, “Archie, don’t worry about the wedding. Quickly send grandpa to the hospital. Quickly go!”
Archie hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead. “Wait for me. I will marry you again.”
Emma did not doubt Archie’s feelings for her at all. She only felt that no matter how hot her two hearts were, after what happened today, that fire should cool down a little.
The guests at the scene also watched the lively scene that happened. Everyone discussed animatedly. All the accusations fell on Emma.
“I really didn’t expect you to be so bold despite your young age. You also dared to lie to Old Master. You must be crazy to want to join the Wealthy Class.”
“That’s right. I think she won’t be able to do it this time. She doesn’t have any goods in her stomach, and she still dares to do it. A mother married into the Grafton Family based on her son’s status. This time, it has become a joke.”
“I think Young Master Archie seems to be serious about her. Perhaps she will find a chance to seduce Young Master Archie and hold a wedding after a period of time.”
“As long as Old Master is still alive, she will give up on this idea.”
All the mockery and cold eyes were ruthlessly thrown at Emma. Emma was at a loss and stood on the stage blankly.
Tasya was also stunned as she patted Emma’s shoulder with a face full of sympathy, “Are you stupid? Why did you jump out and admit your mistake?”
Emma turned her head and smiled bitterly at her good friend. “I don’t want Archie to have any conflict with his grandfather. Since someone has to stand out, I don’t regret it.”
Tasya sighed and scolded, “Idiot! Emma, you are still that kind fool.”
“Alright, I have to leave this place to avoid being treated as a joke by them.” Emma tidied the wedding dress on her body and suddenly felt that everything had happened too suddenly. From happiness to sadness, it was all in vain.
Tasya naturally wanted to accompany Emma and leave, but her gaze landed on Yoseph who was sitting not far away. Coincidentally, his gaze also looked over in this direction and collided with her gaze. Tasya only felt her heart palpitate and immediately lowered her head shyly.
Emma ignored the ridicule of the crowd and lifted the veil. She held it tightly in her hands and walked towards a side door by the side with heavy steps.
“Young mistress, why don’t you go upstairs and rest first.” Uncle Suan stayed behind to clean up the mess. Seeing Emma was about to leave, he hurried forward to stop her.
Emma smiled bitterly and nodded.
Luisa suddenly grabbed her mother’s hand and stood up proudly, “Mom, let’s go. Accompany me to beat a drowning dog.”
Minlan also hated Emma, who was a stumbling block, to the point that her teeth were itching. At this moment, she was in trouble and she naturally wanted to go and see what her outcome would be.
Emma stood at the entrance of the elevator and waited for the elevator in low spirits.
Suddenly, a sarcastic voice came from behind, “Emma, I really did not think that you would actually know how to do it. You are a big liar who lied to all of us. I really don’t know if Archie will still want you after he sees through your true colors.”
Emma’s scalp tensed up when she heard this voice. She knew that Luisa must be extremely proud of herself and couldn’t wait to step on her a few times to vent her anger.
She turned her head and looked indifferently at Luisa. Beside her stood the Vice President’s wife and she also had a mocking smile on her face.
Tasya looked strangely at the mother and daughter walking over. She sized them up and found that their identities seemed to be very valuable.
“What exactly do you want to say?” Emma asked with a sneer.
Minlan said with a cold smile. “Emma, if you want to know what’s good for you, hurry up and give up Grafton young mistress’s position. My daughter is the legitimate Mrs. Grafton. You imposter, hurry up and get lost.”
“Although today’s wedding was not completed, my marriage certificate with Archie is also authentic. If your daughter wants to replace me, then you have to ask Archie if he agrees. Don’t make a fuss here. Please respect the noble status of your vice president’s wife and daughter.” Emma sneered at them and retorted.
When she heard the vice president’s name, Tasya was finally shocked. It turned out that the person in front of her was so arrogant. The overbearing woman was Luisa, who had a child engagement with the Grafton Family since she was young.
Luisa did not expect Emma to be so bold to be so rude to her mother. She immediately went forward and wanted to hit her.
Emma seemed to have long been prepared for this move of hers. When her hand was thrown over, she also reached out to block it and pushed Luisa’s hand away, “If you want to hit me, you have to ask my husband if he agrees.”
“Emma, you are about to die and you still dare to be arrogant?” Luisa did not slap her but her entire person was extremely arrogant.
Emma disapprovingly snorted. “Just who is the one who is arrogant? A shameless girl like you dares to shout at me in front of everyone and I did not even raise my hand to give you a slap. And now you dare to attack me?”
“So what if I want to slap you?” Luisa was extremely angry.
Coincidentally, the elevator suddenly opened. Emma was too lazy to entangle with this pair of mother and daughter. She pulled Tasya’s hand and was about to enter the elevator.
Luisa was really angry and reached out her hand to pull on her wedding dress sleeve.
Emma’s wedding dress was originally a one-word shoulder design but when it was pulled away by her in such a crazy manner, her entire left shoulder was revealed.
Just as Minlan was feeling proud of her daughter’s shocking combat strength, she suddenly saw a long white scar on Emma’s back and her entire body froze.
Emma turned around and angrily stared at Luisa as she scolded, “Are you sick? If you are sick, quickly go back and take your medicine!”
Tasya quickly wanted to close the elevator door.
“Wait. . . Wait a minute!” Minlan suddenly rushed towards the elevator but the elevator was still electrified.
Luisa gritted her teeth in anger and hatred. Emma really made her mad and made her throw away the most basic etiquette and become a shrew.
