Grandpa Grafton had always treated Luisa as his granddaughter-in-law. Previously, Grandpa Grafton accepted her because he thought she was really pregnant with a child from the Grafton Family.
In the end, she had been recognized because she was the mother of the Grafton Family child. It wasn’t that Grandpa Grafton had truly accepted her.
What a sad story.
Archie focused on her little face, which was gradually turning snow white. He reached out his hand and gently caressed her face. “Don’t be afraid. As long as we find the evidence that Luisa harmed you, my grandfather will be greatly disappointed in her. At that time, your position will be even more sympathetic.”
Emma’s expression was slightly stunned. Like a little cat, she used her small face to gently rub against the man’s hot palm and muttered, “What if Luisa is not the murderer behind the scenes?”
“Even if she is not, I will find another way to destroy her image in front of my grandfather.” Archie’s tone was filled with coldness and ruthlessness, causing Emma to be shocked when she heard it.
“Archie, is our relationship really as chaotic as they say?” Emma originally wanted to say it was unethical, but it was difficult to say it out loud.
Archie hugged her tightly and pressed his sexy chin against her forehead. He said dumbfoundedly, “If anyone dares to speak nonsense, I will tear his mouth apart. We are not related by blood and we are in love with each other. Our love has nothing to do with anyone.”
His words were firm and forceful. They were deeply imprinted in Emma’s heart and also strengthened her determination to love each other.
“You are right. It has nothing to do with them!” The corner of Emma’s mouth curled up, and she said with a smile.
“Okay, go to sleep. You cannot sleep late now!” Archie gently let go of her and let her little headrest on one side of his arm. Like coaxing a child, he lightly patted her tender arm and let her sleep.
Emma’s anxious heart seemed to be comforted by his gentle coaxing. Unknowingly, she really fell asleep.
It was just that when could this wrong love be justified?
The nightmares that came out of the dream made Emma shiver even more as she fell into his warm embrace.
It was as if only his body temperature could drive away those nightmares for her.
The next morning, Emma and Archie set off from home to the company at the same time. Archie arranged a driver for her. Therefore, Emma only took the chauffeur’s car out every day.
The weather today was not very good. It was dark and heavy as if it was going to rain.
Emma was also a little depressed. Too many things had happened recently, and she was unable to digest it.
When they reached the entrance of Civada’s main door, Emma, like usual, said goodbye to driver and walked towards the elevator entrance of the hall.
However, what she did not expect was that a man wearing a hood also followed her into the elevator.
The moment he entered, he squeezed behind Emma.
Emma frowned and took a step to the side, but that person seemed to have noticed something and instantly took out a fruit knife from his pocket. He grabbed Emma’s neck and shouted at the people in the elevator, “Those who don’t want to die, get out!”
Emma’s neck was grabbed and she immediately panicked. She suddenly felt a sharp pain on her back and her whole body was tense.
“This big brother. . . I have no enmity with you. Why. . . Why did you kill me?”
When that pain spread over her body, Emma was horrified to find that she was in danger again.
Oh my god, this was the second time this month.
Why was her luck so unlucky? Did she encounter all the bad things?
“Shut up!” That man forcefully lifted his arm upwards and Emma’s breathing was instantly cut off. Her small face immediately turned red.
The other employees in the elevator had long run out in fear. At this moment, only Emma and the criminal were left in the elevator.
The criminal restrained Emma as he went over to close the elevator door. Then, he pressed on the top floor.
Emma coughed hard and both her hands tried hard to pull that person’s arm away. She was about to die.
“Don’t move. I can stab you to death!” The man was extremely ferocious. He roared angrily.
Emma only felt that the knife had stabbed her back again. Furthermore, it was at the position of her heart. Her entire body stiffened and she did not dare to move anymore.
She was so scared that she almost cried. Did she really offend the God of Death? She had escaped death last time, but this time, she couldn’t escape either?
No, she didn’t want to die. She was still so young, and she still wanted to live for many more years. She hadn’t remarried with Archie yet, and it wasn’t easy for her to find her grandmother who loved her. She really didn’t want to die an innocent death like this.
Just as Emma closed her eyes, she was waiting for death in despair. At that time, the man’s arm loosened a little, allowing her to catch her breath.
“Big brother, I don’t have money. You must have kidnapped the wrong person!” Emma tried to persuade the criminal.
“Who wants your money?” The man angrily cursed her.
“You don’t want money. Then why did you kidnap me? Do we know each other?” Emma hurriedly looked at him just now. She really did not know this man.
“Hmph, I can only blame your bad luck for kidnapping you. If you want to blame that bastard Archie, blame him. If he had not forced me into a dead end, I would not have ended up like this.” The man gritted his teeth with hatred as if he had a huge grudge against Archie.
Emma’s beautiful eyes widened.
Archie?
Could it be that this criminal kidnapped her because of Archie?
“Big brother, you must be mistaken. Archie and I have already divorced. Even if you kidnap me, you can’t threaten him.” Emma wisely chose to cut ties with Archie at this time.
“Don’t try to fool me. I have been waiting at the door of Civada for more than half a month. Although you are divorced, he comes to pick you up and send you to work every day. It can be seen that your relationship is still good.” The man was even more furious. The knife had already pierced through Emma’s jacket and was about to pierce into her flesh.
“Hey, don’t. . . If you have something to say, say it properly. Don’t kill me first! What did Archie do to you? Why are you so sad and desperate? There is still room for negotiation when it comes to rebelling. Why do you have to walk into this dead-end? If you want to kill me, you won’t be able to live either.” Emma could only reason with him. She no longer lied to provoke him.
“What else is there to say? If Archie didn’t even give me a chance to change myself, would I have had no other choice but to borrow a loan? Would my son be killed by those villains? I want Archie to pay for the feeling of losing his loved ones.” The man angrily cursed with an expression of despair.
When Emma heard that his son had been stabbed to death, a chill rose from the bottom of her heart.
It’s over. This man would really want to kill me, right?
The elevator went all the way to the top floor. Emma saw that the man was actually dragging her towards the rooftop.
“No. . . No! Big brother, let me go. I am innocent.” Emma was so scared that she cried and kept begging.
The man did not listen to her begging and directly dragged her to the rooftop. At this time, the elevator door opened and a group of company security guards and a few higher-ups rushed out.
“Wade?” One of the high-ranking officials recognized him.
“All of you, step back. Otherwise, I’ll stab her to death and have Archie come and see me!” Wade shouted angrily, and his mood suddenly became very agitated.
“Wade, don’t be impulsive. Let Miss Emma go first. We can talk about everything later.” A senior official hurriedly tried to persuade him.
“What else is there to talk about? I kneeled outside the company and begged Archie for half a month, but he just won’t forgive me. I said I would return the money. Why didn’t he let me live? Why did he expel me from the company? If he didn’t kill me, how could I lose my son? All of this was caused by Archie! I want him to pay with his life.” Wade’s emotions became more and more agitated. Emma, who was being held by him, could not catch her breath. She almost rolled her eyes.
Seeing Emma’s suffocating expression, the higher-ups did not dare to provoke him anymore. He could only shut his mouth and not say anything else.
“Ask Archie to come over. Quickly find him!” Wade crazily shouted.
“President Archie is already on his way here. Let go of Miss Emma first, if something is going to happen to her, you don’t even have the chance to beg President Archie for mercy in the end. As long as President Archie comes, there is still room for redemption. Ah, let go of her.”
When Wade heard that Archie still hadn’t arrived, his emotions calmed down a little. He let go of his hand. Emma, who was being held by her neck, finally breathed in a breath of air. Her swollen red face finally recovered. However, her brain was still in a state of lack of oxygen, and she was dizzy.
The elevator door opened again. It was Yoseph and Wira who walked out.
“Wade, let go of Emma. I can be your hostage!” Yoseph saw the weak figure next to the rooftop. His heart stopped. He walked over and said.
Wade used to be a sensible person in Grafton’s Empire, but because he had secretly misappropriated public funds, he was sent to the Cold Palace by Archie.
Wade shook his head hard and roared angrily, “Yoseph! I am not targeting you today. The person I want to kill is Archie. I want Archie to see his beloved woman die in my hands. I want to kill him.”
Emma was startled when she heard that this criminal wanted to kill Archie.
Unfortunately, just as she was about to make a move, the man’s blade that was pressed against her backstabbed forward by an inch. Her small face was in so much pain that it lost all color.
Yoseph saw her pale face that was rapidly losing blood. He was so anxious that he almost went crazy.
“Can I give you money? I will give you whatever you want. Please let her go first!” Yoseph urgently discussed terms with him.
“It’s too late. No matter how much money you give me, it won’t be able to exchange for my son’s life. Money is no different from paper to me.” Wade cried out in pain and grief.
Emma was in so much pain that her nerves were about to break. She wanted to make any movements, but because of her dizzy head, she was not agile enough.
She was also afraid of death. She was afraid that if she angered this man, he would stab her to death.
At this moment, the elevator door opened again and a tall figure rushed out. It was Archie.
He had come!
Emma saw Archie running towards her anxiously through her misty eyes.
