After watching Archie leave the house, Emma weakly leaned against the wall.
Luckily, Archie did not force her to do anything and helped her make the decision.
In fact, she knew that Archie was stuck in the middle, and he was also very helpless. On one side was his grandfather, who was close to him, and on the other side was the woman he loved deeply.
No matter which side he chose, it meant pain to Archie.
Emma did not want him to suffer. So let her make this decision.
As long as she knew Archie wouldn’t really forget about her, she could slowly wait.
In the future, she might really learn to live alone.
She couldn’t go back to the Quinsley Family, the Sandford Family, and Archie.
She had completely become a loner.
Emma closed her eyes and felt that fate was playing tricks on her, but she would never be defeated.
She would only become braver and braver with each setback. Whether it was her career or love, she hoped to have a happy ending.
That night, Emma seemed to have been reborn. Early in the morning, she applied for leave to go and see the house.
She shrunk the area of property around Civada and finally finalized a small apartment with one room and one living room.
In the past, even if she didn’t buy a house, she would know that the price of the house was shockingly high. Now, if she really wanted to use money to buy a house, that would truly be heartbreaking.
Such a small apartment actually sold for several million yuan. It was simply an eye-opener for her.
However, the house she chose was in the center of the city. It sat in the best location, and its price also exceeded its value.
Emma took out her card and ruthlessly swiped it.
More than three million was really a lot to Emma. If it wasn’t for Archie continuously sending money into her card, I’m afraid she can’t even afford a dime right now.
In the end, she still relied on Archie.
This small apartment was specially renovated. One could move in just by carrying a bag. Emma had gone through all kinds of procedures and was so tired that she did not want to move anymore.
She first found a hotel to stay in and waited for the house to get the key before moving in.
At this moment, the people of Old Master Grafton were also staring at Emma’s every move.
“Old master, Emma has already taken the initiative to move out of young master’s house. I saw that when she left, she left alone.”
“Where did she go? Did she go to Archie’s other property again?” Old Master Grafton was still very worried.
“No, she went to a real estate agent. Later, I went in and asked. She bought a very small apartment. She must have wanted to buy it for herself.”
“It seems that she took quite a lot of money from Archie!” Old Master Grafton sneered.
“That small apartment is worth more than 3 million unless the Quinsley Family gave her the money. Otherwise, this money must have been given to her by young master.”
“Isn’t she the granddaughter of the Quinsley Family? Why would Gustav be so generous as to give her such a large sum of money?” Old Master Grafton sneered. He firmly believed that this money was taken from his grandson.
“Old master, do you still want to talk to her?”
Old Master Grafton looked at the night sky outside the window and shook his head. “Forget it. As long as she is sensible and does not pester my grandson, I will not hurt her.”
“Then her job in Civada. . . ”
“Let her stay there. Anyway, Archie doesn’t work there. If they didn’t deliberately meet, she wouldn’t have the chance to see Archie again. Sometimes, we can’t push people too far. She was just a little girl. Back then, she said that she was carrying Archie’s child. I was really happy for a long time, but I never expected that. . . She actually lied to me. Now, this young girl. . . she would do anything to achieve her goal. This is really disappointing.” The more Old Master Grafton thought about it, the more his heart ached. Emma’s lie had made him very desperate. He thought that he would soon be able to carry his grandson.
“Old master, young master told you about the child. It seems like young master also condoned her from lying to you.”
“That’s why I’m afraid of this girl. Archie has always been honest with me and never lied to me. But because he met her, he also lied to me. I will never allow such a woman to stay with Archie.” Old Master Grafton said worriedly.
Archie was lying in the ward, not in the mood to take care of the work at hand. He was in a very low mood.
James knew that young master was thinking about Miss Emma, so he did not dare to disturb him. He just quietly waited by the side.
“James. Do you think it’s right or wrong for me to let her go like this?” Archie couldn’t understand what he was thinking, so he could only ask James for guidance.
As a bystander, James could naturally see things clearly, so he replied, “Yes. Miss Emma is really a careless woman. The reason she chose to leave was because she did not want to see young master and old master crack.”
“It was precisely because she was too sensible that my heart ached. In the past, I always thought that if I fell in love with a woman, I would definitely pamper her and not let her suffer any grievances or harm.” Archie mocked himself, blaming himself for not being able to protect the person he loved.
“Young Master, you have to know that you are not facing the pain of an outsider, but the obstruction of old master. No matter how strong you are, you will never be able to surpass your loved ones.” James tried to persuade him in a low voice.
“That’s right. If it was anyone else, I would not back down, but that person is my grandfather.” Archie sighed heavily. He really couldn’t easily get past this obstacle.
“James, find two people to secretly protect her. Don’t let her get hurt again.” Archie still couldn’t relax.
“Okay!”
“Remember, make sure they hide their identities well. Don’t let my grandfather’s people find out.” Archie reminded them again.
“I will tell them!”
“Go and contact Interpol and ask about the whereabouts of the murderer.”
James nodded. “I will take care of it. Young master, don’t worry.”
Archie thought for a while and suddenly thought of something. He continued to tell James, “Go and find the surveillance video of Civada. I want to take a look!”
James asked curiously. “Young master, why are you looking at the surveillance video of Civada?”
“Nothing, I just want to take a look!” Archie didn’t want to reveal his purpose, because he didn’t know what he was worried about.
James didn’t dare to ask any more questions. However, when he called to ask for the surveillance video information, he got a disappointing result.
“Young Master, the surveillance system on Civada’s side has been hacked by a hacker. It has been under maintenance all this time. There is only a portion of the video information. Do you need to see it?” James answered truthfully.
“Hacking into the surveillance system? Why did this happen? Why didn’t anyone report to me?” Archie’s handsome face instantly sank.
“Young master, perhaps this matter was handled by Young Master Yoseph, so he didn’t report it to me.”
Archie’s expression became even more gloomy and scary. He let out a light snort. “Maybe. It’s too small a matter. Yoseph forgot to tell me.”
“A phenomenon like this. . . This was not the first time something like this had happened in Civada. There had been a few similar incidents before. Perhaps those fans were too crazy. In order to see the information of the artists they like, they used this kind of hacking method to hack into the system.” James explained from the side.
However, this did not dispel the doubts in Archie’s heart.
Could it really be such a coincidence?
When he wanted to look at the surveillance data, he was coincidentally attacked by a hacker?
Many times, the coincidence was the best reason to cover up the truth.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Emma had also obtained the keys to her small apartment.
She placed the trip that she had brought out in her own house one by one.
There was a photo that made her feel emotional. It was an old photo of Dinda.
In the past, she had always thought that Dinda was her mother. Now, she knew that she was not her daughter.
No matter what, after the mother-daughter battle, she still kept the photo.
Next, she prepared to go to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities.
When she arrived at the entrance of the supermarket, she pushed a small cart and chose some household items.
Finally, she carried big and small bags back to her small home.
“I’m so tired!” Emma found that she did everything by herself. She was really tired.
She had never been in charge before. Although she had to do housework in Quinsley Family, she could at least avoid it when she went to school.
When she was with Archie, Uncle Suan took care of the Grafton Family. She had never felt the pain of being in charge of the family.
Now, she was alone. She couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. Although it was a small matter, it was very complicated and couldn’t be busied.
In these three days, Emma didn’t take the initiative to contact Archie. And it was very obvious that Archie didn’t contact her either.
It was as if the two of them had become strangers in an instant.
This feeling was very uncomfortable.
The uncomfortable feeling became even stronger when it was late at night.
It had been a week. She heard some news that Archie had been discharged.
It was really good. His injuries should be all healed.
Emma sat in the office, fiddling with a pot of flowers that Kevin had sent her in the morning.
Suddenly, a message was sent to her phone. It was a completely new and unfamiliar number.
“Tell me your address!”
There was no signature. However, Emma knew that the person who sent this message was Archie.
Sigh, did they officially enter an underground relationship?
The corner of Emma’s mouth raised slightly, but she still sent her home address over.
“I came over to find you tonight!” The next message was replied almost instantly.
Emma was stunned and suddenly wanted to tell him not to come over, but her fingers were stiff and could not press down.
Didn’t I just hope for him to come over?
“Okay!” She immediately agreed.
At this moment, in a meeting room of Grafton’s Corporation, after all the major shareholders had finished their reports, only Archie and Yoseph were left in the huge meeting room.
Two young men, one standing by the window, and the other lazily leaning on a large black leather chair.
Their aura was fully released as if they were secretly competing with each other.
“Emma is the youngest daughter of Sandford Family. You should already know this. What do you plan to do?” Archie turned his eyes to Yoseph and spoke in a deep voice.
Yoseph was slightly shocked. He had already expected that today’s meeting would not be as simple as official business.
