After Archie left the hospital, he went straight back to Civada. At this moment, Civada’s party was approaching its end.
Archie did not go to the venue of the party. Instead, he sat alone in his office. His office was in the area opposite of Yoseph’s office.
He lit a cigarette. The green and white fog covered his handsome face, which made his face look colder and colder.
What happened tonight had completely enraged him. He did not expect Civada to hide so many demons and devils. It was time to clean them up.
Most of the company’s staff were busy at night. After Archie finished smoking a cigarette, he stood up and walked out of the office.
James stood outside the door. When he saw him come out, he immediately stood up. “Young master, do you want to go to the scene to take a look?”
“No, let’s go to the monitoring room!” Archie did not stop walking toward the elevator.
James immediately followed closely.
The elevator stopped at the control room on the second floor. It was busy operating dozens of machine screens.
“President Archie? What brings you here?” The person in charge of the monitoring room broke out in cold sweat when he saw Archie descending from the sky. He thought that there was something wrong with his job and that he had angered the cold-faced Hades.
“Show me the CCTV footage from the backstage.” Archie crossed his arms in front of his chest and stood in front of the camera. He stared at the screen and ordered.
“Okay, quick, show me all the cameras!” The person in charge of the monitoring room quickly assisted the staff.
Very quickly, the backstage cameras appeared on the screen.
“Show me the recording of the start of the gala.” Archie’s eyes were cold and his voice was filled with intimidation.
The person in charge did not dare to be slow and quickly pulled out all the cameras.
Archie’s gaze was sharp as he stared at those scenes.
James also helped to watch.
“Stop, step back a bit!” Archie shouted in a low voice.
The person in charge quickly operated it twice, and the screen retreated a little. Archie’s eyes slightly trembled.
Under the surveillance camera, Emma was lying behind the heavy curtain alone, peeking at the scene at the front desk.
After lying there and watching for a while, Then, she stuck herself on the curtain and lowered her head. No one could see her expression and no one knew what she was thinking.
James said from the side, “Young master, Miss Emma should be peeking at you.”
Archie’s heart ached for no reason. This little thing was actually hiding here and peeking at him. Seeing her wronged look, Archie’s heart was about to melt.
“Continue!” Archie ordered.
In the next scene, Emma accidentally poked her hand when she was cutting a piece of clothing’s thread. She put her finger into her mouth to suck, and then Kevin found someone to send her a band-aid.
Although these scenes were silent, Archie felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
It turned out that this woman was distracted by the scissors when she saw him and Luisa sitting together. In the end, it was his fault.
“Young master, look here. This woman has entered the lounge!” James quickly pointed at the screen.
Archie’s eyes darkened. “Write down this woman and see who’s working for her.”
“Another two women went in!” James said anxiously.
“You stay here and watch. Give me a list of all the women before Emma went in.” After Archie finished giving instructions, he turned around and left.
At this moment, the banquet of Civada had completely ended. All the guests left the hall one after another.
Luisa was still sitting in her seat and her expression was very ugly. Archie must be with Emma at this moment which made her feel very depressed.
In the middle of the evening party, she found a quiet place and took out her phone to call Old Master Grafton.
“Grandpa, I call you at this time. Did I disturb your rest?” Luisa asked gently.
“I haven’t slept yet. What’s wrong? Has Archie been looking for you recently?” Old Master Grafton was also very kind to her.
Luisa really wanted to tell the truth, but she had to take care of Archie, so she could only hold back her grievance and softly replied, “Grandfather, don’t worry. I get along very well with Archie. I am calling to ask what gift Grandfather wants during the birthday ceremony.”
Old Master Grafton was stunned for a moment, then said full of expectation. Luisa, Grandfather doesn’t want any gift. If you can be with Archie, give me a great-grandson earlier. It will make me happier than any gift.”
A great-grandson?
Luisa’s expression was somewhat happy. “Grandfather really likes children. The last time Emma lied to Grandfather like that, it was really too much.”
“Don’t mention her to me. She did not learn well at such a young age and learned to lie. She is simply too uncultured.” Old Master Grafton instantly became angry.
Luisa was also deliberately testing him. She did not expect Old Master Grafton to treat Emma in such a way. Her bad mood instantly became a little better.
“Grandfather, don’t worry. I will definitely help your Grafton Family give birth to a child as soon as possible.” A happy smile hung on the corner of Luisa’s mouth. She suddenly thought of her own plan. If she could bear Archie’s child that night, Emma would roll away wherever she wanted. She wouldn’t have the chance to enter the Grafton Family’s gate again.
“Luisa, you are really a filial and considerate child.”
“Grandfather is too kind. Then I will not disturb your rest. I will hang up first and see you the day after tomorrow!” After Luisa received the praise, her expression became even happier.
After hanging up the phone, Luisa returned to the gala scene again. She only left after the gala ended.
Tasya passed her trophy to her assistant and instructed, “Be careful, don’t break my trophy.”
“Tasya, it’s not good. A few people who claimed to be President Archie’s bodyguards took Eve away.”
Tasya had just returned to the resting room when she saw a person run in and say in a panic.
“What did you say?” Tasya’s expression was instantly stunned and then she urgently said, “When did this happen? Do you know why they took Eve away?”
“I don’t know. Those men went straight to the backstage and took Eve away.”
Tasya’s face instantly turned pale. She sat on the sofa and said, “Could it be that our matter has been exposed? Is Archie going to make the decision for Emma?”
“Ah, if that is really the case, then we. . . Aren’t dead for sure?” The assistants at the scene all looked very anxious and uneasy.
“What are you in a hurry for? Keep your mouths shut. We’ve never done anything before. Also. . . If Eve really speaks the truth, you must help me find out. Did you hear that? If anyone dares to betray me, I will not forgive them. If they dare to help me, I will give them a lot of benefits.” Tasya was also very frightened in her heart. She did not expect that just as Emma made her move, Archie would come knocking on her door.
Thinking of this, Tasya gritted her teeth in jealousy. If Yoseph could also protect her like Archie protected Emma, then why would she be afraid?
Unfortunately, Emma, this stupid woman, had a good life. She actually made Archie be so partial to her.
“Tasya, don’t worry. We will definitely help you.” The assistants were all frightened by Tasya’s ferocious expression and quickly replied.
“Yeah, we won’t talk nonsense.”
“You guys better not offend me, otherwise. . . ” Tasya could only use intimidation to make these assistants listen obediently.
At this moment, in Archie’s office on the top floor, the atmosphere was gloomy and tense.
A woman wearing work clothes stood in front of Archie with a face full of fear. The fear in her eyes made her shiver.
Archie sat on the sofa with his legs crossed. One of his hands was lazily resting on the chair support as his cold gaze swept across her.
“Do you know why I asked you to come up?” He opened his mouth. His voice was cold, and he looked imposing without anger.
This woman was an employee of the Design Department. Her name was Eve, and she was a colleague of Emma.
Of course, she knew why Archie would look for her, but for the sake of her life, she could only lie.
“President Archie. I. . . I don’t know why you called me here, please tell me.” Since Eve had the guts to do such an immoral thing, she naturally had some guts. She pretended not to know anything and asked.
“The person who caused Emma to be allergic, was it you?” Archie did not beat around the bush and directly asked.
Eve trembled guiltily. Her eyes sparkled and she did not dare to look at Archie’s sharp and gloomy eyes.
She panicked and said: “No. . . It’s not me. President Archie, isn’t Emma seriously ill? We all saw it. The symptoms on her don’t seem to be allergic at all.”
“Stop quibbling. I have already checked the surveillance camera. Before Emma enters the restroom, you go in first.” Archie’s cold eyes raised. His tone was even colder and more threatening.
“President Archie, you really wronged me. Emma and I are colleagues. How could I harm her? Furthermore, our relationship is also very good. I have no reason. . . ”
“Open your bag, I have something to do with it!” Archie ignored her pale explanation and only spoke coldly.
“What is it?” Eve was shocked and her face turned even paler.
The bodyguard at the side had already reached out and snatched her bag.
“Hey, President Archie, you did this to me. The bag is my personal belongings. . . ”
“Found it!” The bodyguard opened it and took out a bottle of perfume and handed it to Archie.
Archie glanced at the bottle of perfume. “This perfume is evidence that you covered up the jasmine fragrance. I also asked someone to check it. Someone transferred two hundred thousand yuan into your bank account yesterday afternoon, Eve. You have worked in Civada for three years. Are you sure you want to cover up the real murderer behind the scenes? You want to ruin your career?”
Eve’s body trembled even more intensely. Fear seeped out from her eyes. She spoke incoherently and even wanted to make a final struggle.
“As long as I chase you out of Civada, you will never have a second job in your life. Furthermore, if you insist on taking on the responsibility for that person, I will immediately send you to the police station and let them investigate the evidence for me. . . ”
“No. . . No, President Archie. I will say everything. Don’t send me to the police station. Please be merciful and let me live.” Before Archie could finish his words, Eve was already paralyzed on the ground. She decided to tell him everything.
