Old Master’s expression was solemn. “If I didn’t force you, would you have cut off all ties with Emma?”
“The one who was wrong was me. It had nothing to do with her. Grandfather. No matter how much you have against her, there is one thing I must tell you. I was the one who lied back then.” Seeing his grandfather’s prejudice against Emma, Archie’s heart was filled with fear.
Old Master coldly snorted, “You like her, of course, you have to protect her. Archie, Luisa is also a good girl. Her love for you is definitely not as little as Emma’s. This point. I can see it.”
“In terms of scheming, Luisa is no less than Emma.” Archie said with a look of contempt.
“That’s enough. Luisa came from a wealthy family. She is a little petty. She is using her background to protect herself.” Old Master had always liked Luisa, his daughter-in-law. Therefore, when Emma lied to him, his heart was more inclined to Luisa.
Archie saw that his grandfather was willful and could only sigh. “Alright, I will do everything as grandfather says, but I still have to tell grandfather that I will not marry Luisa.”
“I believe Luisa will move you. This child’s mind is not bad.” Old Master still believed in himself.
Archie was really speechless. If it wasn’t for his grandfather’s health, he wouldn’t have placed his happiness on a woman he hated.

Ever since Minlan saw the long scar on Emma’s shoulder, she felt uneasy and restless.
She quickly sent people to Quinsley Family to find out about Emma’s situation, but she only found out that Emma had been abandoned by her biological mother in Quinsley Family since she was young, and her mother had been married overseas.
“No matter how she was sent to Quinsley Family, the most important thing is to get her DNA sample and send it to the test.” Minlan clenched her fists. Regarding this plan, she really did not want to wait a second longer.
But how could she get Emma’s DNA sample?
Minlan fell into a faint sadness.
Quinsley Family!
Caroline sat in her daughter’s room. Emily smiled happily and proudly. “Mom, was Emma really scolded by Old Master Grafton on the spot? Then she really lost face. She dared to call herself pregnant even though she was not pregnant. This is too much.”
“Yeah, I was very happy on the spot. I saw Emma standing there with tears streaming down her face as she continuously apologized. I really hate that I didn’t record it down for you to see with your own eyes. Hmph, back then she made you lose all your face. Today, you deserve retribution.” Caroline also had a pleased expression on her face.
Emily said with a face full of pity, “Why didn’t I see this good show? However, Emma will be kicked out of Grafton Family sooner or later. At that time, I will be able to step on her again with my head held high.”
“That’s right. Emma, don’t fall into our hands in the end, otherwise, I will definitely not let her off lightly.” Caroline also had a stomach full of resentment. She wished that she could give Emma two slaps to vent her anger.
In the living room, Gustav and Jaxon were both sighing.
“This stinky girl, what is she worried about? She admitted that she was not pregnant just because she was not pregnant. What was she lying about? Everything was fine now. She was afraid that she would not be able to keep Mrs. Grafton’s position. Sigh, it’s a waste of my energy.” The more Gustav thought about it, the angrier he got. The angrier he got, the more he cursed.
Jaxon had mixed feelings. He had not recovered from Emma’s happiness of snatching away his daughter. He did not expect such a change to happen today. He did not know whether he should feel lucky or worried.
However, seeing his father’s worried expression, he also became worried. “Yes. Without the backing of Grafton Family, where can we find the next month’s order in Quinsley Family? Dad, what do you think we should do?”
Gustav’s face turned pale and gloomy. He slammed the table hard. “How would I know? Last time, I had a quarrel with a few big customers because of the price. I thought that I could stop being oppressed by them because I had tightened the relationship with Quinsley Family. Now, they will only watch a good show from us.”
“Dad, although Old Master Grafton got angry today, I think Archie still seems to have deep feelings for Emma. Maybe we can ask Emma for help. Archie must still like her.” Jaxon said with a fluke in his heart.
Gustav naturally noticed this and nodded. “You are right. I will call Emma again.”
Emma stayed in the new house for two days. Archie called her and said that he wanted to accompany his Grandpa back to L Country. He arranged for a doctor to do a health check on her grandfather. He did not have time to look for her these two days.
Emma was very sensible and asked him to take care of the things at hand first. She was fine by herself.
Yes, she used to live alone in the past. It was just that after a blissful life, she returned to that kind of loneliness.
She went to the supermarket at the entrance of the neighborhood, but she was too lazy to cook, so she bought a few packets of instant noodles and a packet of frozen dumplings to last two days.
On the third day, she prepared to return to Civada for work.
When she thought about the storm caused by her wedding, she felt stressed.
She hoped that her colleagues would be lenient with their words and not embarrass her too much.
The moment she stepped into Civada’s office, she was called by Yoseph
“In just two days, you have lost weight?” Yoseph sat on a leather chair behind the desk and looked at her with raised eyebrows.
“I don’t know why President Yoseph asked me to come here. What can I do for you?” Emma asked weakly.
“Why do you look like you haven’t eaten for a few days? Could it be that Archie doesn’t care about you anymore?” Yoseph pinched his sexy chin and said in a mocking tone.
Emma straightened her shoulders and said, “If President Yoseph doesn’t have other urgent matters, I will go back to work.”
“Go on, I have nothing else to do. I just want to see you.”
Emma’s heart suddenly trembled. She looked up at him in shock and bit her lower lip as she said, “President Yoseph, please don’t be so bored in the future. It has nothing to do with you whether I am good or bad. Please don’t…”
“The superior is considerate of his subordinates. This is also part of the job.” Seeing her polite and distant tone, Yoseph felt angry for some reason.
“But I didn’t see you being considerate of other female employees.” Emma did not believe his nonsense.
Yoseph stood up. His tall and domineering body pressed forward step by step. His voice was extremely cold. “Emma, you are playing dumb for me again, right?”
“Yoseph, I will tell you clearly today. No matter what the result of Archie and me is, it is impossible for us to be together. Don’t place your hopes on me anymore. I won’t love you. And I won’t love you either.” Emma mustered her courage and looked up. She stared at Yoseph’s cold face without avoiding it.
“Say it again?” Yoseph tensed up because of his anger, and his eyes were as cold as ice.
Emma continued to stare into his eyes and said, “No matter how many times I say it, or a hundred times, I will not fall in love with you. Hurry up and give up on this idea.”
“Emma, do you know the consequences of offending me? As long as I am willing, I can have a hundred ways to make you unhappy.” Yoseph was completely enraged. His tone was cold and full of threat.
Emma’s heart trembled. Cold intent rose from her back and her two small hands tightly clenched. “Why do you have to make things difficult for me? How did I offend you?”
“Who asked you to have a face that I’ve been thinking about day and night? You made me miss you alone!” Yoseph’s eyes were in a trance. With a touch of imaginary soft light, he landed on the small face that she raised up.
Emma’s entire body trembled and quickly turned her face away. “You are really funny. Did you fall in love with my face, or am I this person?”
Yoseph woke up from his trance and realized that he was so fascinated. It was ridiculous.
“Emma, you can choose not to love me. But you can’t stop me from pursuing you.” Yoseph was still unwilling to give up just like that. It was hard for him to forget this woman who was always under his watch.
Emma felt that she could not communicate with this man.
“Up to you! I have to go down to work.” Emma had no choice but to run away.
Yoseph looked at her fleeing figure and sneered at himself.
Emma ran into the elevator and kept muttering: “Crazy, must be crazy!”
When she stepped into the office again, she received a sympathetic gaze from her colleagues in the office.
“Emma, are you alright?” The two female colleagues who had received her help the last time directly walked over to comfort her.
Emma was stunned for a moment and shook her head. “I’m fine. Thank you for your concern.”
Actually, she really did not know how sad and pitiful she was. But when other people’s pitying eyes looked at her, her fragile and sensitive heart would still hurt.
In other people’s eyes, she must have become a pitiful person.
Sigh, forget it. She’d better work properly. Perhaps when she’s busy, she’ll forget all the pain.
Emma decided to draw the finished product of the last blueprint and then go and show the five small coffee men the sample. If they were satisfied, she could use it to make a sample.
After Emma tidied up, she went downstairs to look for the five young men to confirm the drawings.
The remaining four people only gave some small opinions about her drawings. Emma carefully recorded it and agreed to go back and revise it.
But when she stepped into Helena’s lounge, the way Helena looked at her suddenly changed.
In the past, she did not even bother to step on her and had a look of neglect on her face but today, it directly turned into contempt.
“I remember that you previously confidently said that Archie wouldn’t reject you, but was slapped in the face so quickly? Does it hurt?” Helena was dressed in casual attire and looked fresh and tender but her proud expression made Emma frown.
Emma’s eyes slightly stiffened. She lightly said. “I came to look for you to discuss work matters. This is a design that I designed. Do you have anything you need to change?”
Helena did not take the documents that she handed over but her eyes were still full of ridicule. “Emma, you have not answered me yet? Does it hurt?”
“You are so concerned about me. Do you want to bear the pain for me?” Emma could not stand it anymore.
“That’s right. I just want to see how miserable your outcome will be!” Helena stood up and said with a proud expression.
Emma directly slapped her face and then asked with a faint smile, “I can tell you right now, it will be so painful!”
