The atmosphere in the office was tense, and the two of them looked at each other, but they didn’t say anything.
Emma looked away and stared at the floor. There was a pleading tone in her voice. “Yoseph, I beg you. Don’t be like this. Let me go, I won’t marry you!”
“I also want to let you go, but right now, my mind is filled with you. It’s like I’ve seen a ghost. I can’t forget it even if I want to.” Yoseph’s face was filled with shame and self-mockery.
Emma’s face was a little pale. She clenched her little hands.
“What do you want to tell Archie? Archie has always treated you as a good friend, and you should not bully a friend’s wife. You should know that if you confess to me, do you think you are worthy of Archie?” Emma calmed down and tried to reason with him.
Yoseph’s handsome face was a little pale. Obviously, this was his sore spot, and Emma had directly stabbed it.
“I believe that Archie understands me. You should belong to me.” Yoseph laughed bitterly and said in a self-deceiving manner.
Emma stared at him and laughed lightly, “Archie loves me so much. Do you think he will let me out? At that time, both of you will suffer. Is it worth it just because of me?”
“If Archie can afford it, I can also afford it!” Yoseph’s tone became forceful.
Emma’s heart tightened. Yoseph’s words scared her.
“Even if I marry you in the end, I will not love you. Will you feel happy when you marry a puppet?” Emma was still beating him up.
“If that puppet is the person I love, then it will definitely be happy. I don’t have many requirements, as long as I can see you.” Yoseph answered honestly.
“Now you say that you don’t ask for much. When the time comes, you will ask me to love you a little, be more considerate to you, and even… You will want more things.” Emma mocked.
“Even if I want it, I have the right, don’t I?” Yoseph’s eyes suddenly looked at her. They were burning like two balls of fire, making people panic.
Emma’s heart was violently pulled, and she felt pain.
“I think I heard that Sandford Family has the right to cancel the engagement. I don’t know if it’s true or not.” A confident smile appeared on Emma’s face.
“Who said that?” Yoseph’s veins jumped and he looked a little panicked.
Emma lightly glanced at the lip. “Dexon and Minlan seem to have a lot of guilt towards their lost little daughter. As long as I don’t marry you, they won’t force me. Yoseph, you should give up as soon as possible.”
Yoseph’s mind was in chaos. He didn’t expect that the Sandford Family actually had the power to unilateral annulment of the engagement.
He had to go home and ask his grandfather about this matter. He must be clear about it.
“Forget it. Let’s not talk about these unhappy things first. Congratulations on finding your family. I want to give you a gift!” Yoseph decided not to continue. He took a delicate small box from his desk and gave it to her. “You won’t refuse, right?”
“Sorry, it’s too expensive. I can’t take it!” Emma really rejected it.
“This was carefully chosen by me. If you don’t want it, then I’ll throw it away!” Yoseph said and really threw it into the trash can.
“You… You are such a waste!” Emma was really speechless and helpless.
“You don’t want it. It is because you feel that the things I gave weren’t good enough. Since there is a flaw, then what is the use of keeping it?” Yoseph mocked himself lightly. He did not feel any heartache at all.
“If I accept your gift, can I ask you not to say those aggressive words again in the future?” Emma softly discussed conditions with him.
Yoseph frowned. “There are some things that need to be discussed. I may not be able to agree to it.”
“Then I’m sorry. I’ll be leaving first!” Emma sighed with some regret. After saying that, she turned around and left.
Yoseph looked at her determined figure and his eyes instantly became rigid.
Emma stood in the elevator. Her palms were already covered in a layer of sweat. The confrontation with Yoseph just now really scared her to the point of having a heart attack.
However, she believed that if she did not agree, Yoseph would not force her.
But was it possible between her and Archie?
When she thought about how she was still lingering on the phone with him a second ago, But now, it was as if she had fallen into an icehouse, and there was no hope at all.
Yoseph was right. If something really happened to Archie’s Grandpa because they insisted on being together, Archie would have a guilty conscience for the rest of his life.
His heart trembled violently.
Sandford Family!
Luisa had not returned for a day and night to protest her determination to return to the Sandford Family.
Madame Sandford anxiously called her many times and Luisa finally calmed down.
If she really left the Sandford Family like this, then wouldn’t the Sandford Family all fall into Emma’s hands?
The love of her family and the property of the Sandford Family. Because she didn’t have a son, Madame Sandford had said that she would hand the Sandford Family over to her and give her everything. The Sandford Family could be considered a big family and Luisa was never worried that she would one day run out of money. Because, the entire Sandford Family had to be left for her to inherit.
Now that she had found Emma, the situation was different.
The Sandford Family might have to give her half of their family fortune.
Thinking about the hard work that the Sandford Family had built up, and how they were going to give it to an outsider like Emma, Luisa was not willing to give it up and went home dejectedly.
However, the moment she went home, she was called into the room by her parents.
Luisa thought in her heart that her parents would definitely comfort her.
In any case, she would not accept Emma, this woman, as her younger sister.
“Dad, Mom!” Luisa looked like she had suffered a lot of grief.
Dexon stared at her sternly and gave her a scare. She said in a trembling voice, “Dad, why are you looking at me with this kind of expression?”
Minlan’s tone was also very serious. “Luisa, let me ask you, did you do something to hurt your sister?”
“Mom, what are you talking about? How could I do something to hurt someone? I’m so kind and friendly.” Luisa felt guilty and quickly retorted on her behalf.
“Really?” Dexon could still see the sparkle in his daughter’s eyes and asked in a very dignified manner.
Luisa immediately cried. She felt wronged and said, “What did I do? You have a younger daughter. You don’t want me, Eldest Daughter, anymore, right? I am already in a bad mood. Once I go home, I will be questioned by you guys. As expected, there is no place for me in this house anymore.”
Luisa started a war of tears. As parents, they could only sigh.
Minlan went forward and hugged her. “Alright, stop crying. If you did not do anything bad, how could mother bear to hit and scold you?”
Luisa’s heart was hanging as she thought hatefully in her heart. What a good Emma. Before she even returned to the Sandford Family, she had already started to sow discord between her and her parents. What a scheming woman.
Dexon said with a solemn face, “If you really did not find someone to kidnap Emma and hurt her, I definitely would not punish you severely. But if this matter has anything to do with you, as the daughter of the vice president, knowing the law is against the law, you need to know how serious the consequences are.”
When Luisa heard her father’s words, her entire body trembled once again.
“Dad, Mom, please believe me. I really have not done anything that is against the law.” At the moment, Luisa only wanted to gain the trust of her parents. Anyway, since Hezi had escaped, there would not be any more evidence. It would not be so easy to accuse her of her crimes.
Emma’s mood was very low the whole day.
Finally, it was time to get off work. She lowered her head and walked down the hall.
Archie sent a chauffeur to specially pick her up and go to work.
“Hey, child! Look over here!” Just as she was about to pass through the entrance of the hall, she suddenly heard an old voice calling out to her.
Emma was stunned. When she turned around, she saw an energetic old lady with short black hair sitting on the resting seat beside her.
Emma was a little surprised. She stretched out her finger and pointed at her face.
“Yes, it’s you. Come here!” The old lady had a smile on her face and looked very happy.
Emma felt very strange about the sudden appearance of the old lady, but she still walked over.
“This is my favorite red bean cake. You can pay for it!” The old lady pointed at a small box in front of her, which contained very exquisite pastries.
Because the old lady’s teeth were not good, she could only eat this kind of food that had melted in her mouth.
“Granny, I’m not hungry. Why are you sitting here alone? Where’s your family?” Emma saw that there was no one else beside her and thought that she had lost her way, so she asked out of concern.
“My family doesn’t want me anymore. I am lost!” The old lady instantly revealed a dazed and sorrowful expression.
Emma was stunned and could only smile. “Then I will help you make a call. Do you have a number from your family?”
“No, my mind is not good. I can’t remember anything!” The old lady continued to pretend to be bitter.
Emma really had no other choice but to patiently say: “Then I will call the police and ask the police to help you find a home later.”
Once she heard the police call, the old lady could not continue acting.
“Hey, don’t call the police. I’m most afraid of police cars. Why don’t you do this? Can you take me home?” The old lady showed a pitiful look. “I’m not a bad person. I really lost my way, but I remember the way home!”
Emma carefully sized up the old lady. She was dressed appropriately and elegantly. She also wore a lot of valuable gold and silver jewelry on her body. She looked like an old lady from a wealthy family.
She was afraid that once she went out like this, it would be very easy for her to be robbed.
“Aren’t you afraid that I am a bad person?” Emma asked back.
“I am not afraid. You look like a kind child!” The old lady said with a laugh.
Emma smiled bitterly at her words. “Alright, I happen to have a car. I’ll take you home!”
Driver saw that Emma actually helped an old lady into the car and asked in surprise, “Miss Emma, this old lady is…”
“I don’t know who she is either. Take her home first!” Emma smiled bitterly.
