Archie never showed mercy when he threatened his enemies. He could easily grab a soft spot in front of her.
Eve had lost her balance a long time ago. She knelt down in front of Archie. Her face was filled with panic and fear. Her voice was trembling. “President Archie, It’s Tasya. She came to find me two days ago. She said she would give me a large sum of money and ask me to do something for her. I was very afraid at that time. Two hundred thousand was to me, It was really quite a lot. I thought she wanted me to do something harmful. . . Then, she told me. . . I just need to sprinkle some jasmine pollen at Emma’s resting place and use this perfume to cover up the scent of jasmine flowers.”
“Hmph, this money is really easy to get. So, you became her accomplice?” Archie’s eyes were filled with anger, and his tone was bone-chilling. “A greedy person like you who has no principles has simply tarnished my reputation.”
“President Archir, I really didn’t know Emma would be allergic to jasmine fragrance. At that time, Tasya said that the jasmine fragrance had the effect of calming one’s mind and helping one sleep. She also said that she and Emma were good friends. I didn’t do anything to harm her. I believed it at that time. But who knew that she actually wanted to harm Emma. President Archie, it really has nothing to do with me. I was also deceived by Tasya.” Eve cried as she complained.
Archie’s eyes darkened. He said coldly: “Scram!”
Eve immediately got up, turned around and fled in panic.
James was also very puzzled after he heard that. “Young master, isn’t Tasya a good sister with Miss Emma? Why would she harm Miss Emma? Could it be that there is a rift in their friendship? But Miss Emma has never mentioned this to you before.”
“She indeed did not tell me! This fool, whatever is on her mind, she is the only one who can bear it.” Archie secretly sighed.
At this moment, the office door was pushed open. Yoseph, who had just come out of the dinner party, heard that Archie had gone to the monitoring room, so he hurried upstairs to find him.
“You went to see the surveillance camera?” Yoseph asked as soon as he entered the room.
“Yes, I saw that the party wasn’t over yet, and you probably don’t have time either, so I went to see it myrself.” Archie replied plainly.
“Did you find any suspects? Who wanted to harm her?” This was what Yoseph was more concerned about.
Archie suddenly stared at Yoseph and asked him in a deep voice. “What is your relationship with Tasya?”
“Me and her? No relationship at all!” Yoseph was stunned for a moment, then he said coldly: “Don’t tell me you heard the rumors outside again and said that I am the sponsor behind her? Archie, can you think in a more mature way?”
Archie sneered. “What are you nervous about? I didn’t say that you played with other women. I just want to know if Tasya knows that you like Emma.”
Yoseph’s expression froze. Then, his voice became cold. “Don’t tell me that the person behind this matter is Tasya? Who gave her the courage?”
“Isn’t it you?” Archie’s tone was sharp.
Yoseph: “. . .”
“If you didn’t back her up, how could she be so bold?” Archie blamed Yoseph for what had happened.
Yoseph’s handsome face was a little ugly, and he retorted, “I do not deny that I have helped her a few times before, but I did not help her out of my own free will.”
Archie laughed sarcastically, and his eyes were deep in thought. “Let me guess. She must know that you like Emma. And she used this matter to threaten you to ask for more and better resources. Is that so?”
“Alright, I know I can’t hide it from you.” Yoseph admitted frankly.
“She used to be Emma’s good sister, and I just asked her in the hospital. Tasya already knew that she was allergic to jasmine pollen. That was why Tasya had today’s incident because of love and hate. Don’t you admit that you were the one who caused Emma’s injury?” Archie said in a serious tone and looked at Yoseph.
Yoseph’s handsome face had long become as dark as iron, and he had a tight grip on it. “If it was really because of me that she was hurt, I will definitely deal with this matter personally.”
“Yoseph, you once said that I can’t give her happiness. Maybe, our identity is already a burden to Emma.” Archie restrained the anger on his face and spoke with a heavy tone of self-mockery.
Yoseph was speechless and nodded. “The reality is that she isn’t cold and heartless. She is too weak. I hope that from now on, we can protect her more rationally. No matter who is the one who will walk with her in the end, I feel that you are acting on her behalf today. You are like a man, very responsible.”
“This is what I should do. Today’s party was very successful. You have contributed the most. Thank you for your hard work!” Archie thanked him in a low voice.
Yoseph looked at his good friend, who was still honest and sincere. He felt touched in his heart, but in the next second, he looked away. “I will take care of this matter tomorrow. I will go home first. My grandfather was hospitalized just now.”
“Since that’s the case, then leave it to me. Take care of your grandfather first.” Archie was slightly stunned.
“No need. If the matter started because of me, I should handle it myself. I won’t trouble you.” After saying that, Yoseph turned around and left.
James looked at Yoseph’s back as he left in a hurry. He couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. “Only Young Master Archie and Yoseph have a good cultivation. Otherwise, I’m afraid they would have fallen out with each other long ago.”
Archie’s eyes fell on the window quietly. His tone was filled with sorrow. “This is only temporary. Sooner or later, we will fall out with each other and stand opposite of each other.”
“Young master. . . ” James was shocked. It would be best if such a situation never happened.
Archie laughed at himself. “Don’t worry. At the moment, we are still able to maintain our rationality. I am only guessing. As long as Yoseph doesn’t take that step, I won’t do it either.”
“You gave me a scare!” James patted his heart. “If the Grafton Family and the Wolfleim Family become enemies, then the country’s economy will be in a terrible state.”
“No matter what, I have to support my uncle to participate in the February election first.” Archie said in a deep voice.
“Well, if the election is successful, young master’s chances of winning will be much higher.” James also had a face full of expectation.
“Don’t think about things that are so far away. Let’s go back!” Archie tidied his clothes and walked towards the door.
After getting into the car, James gave him a new phone, with only Emma’s number on it.
Archie pulled it out!
Soon, he heard a soft voice. “Archie, is that you?”
She seemed to have slept again. Her voice was lazy and soft, like a pair of wings that gently brushed across Archie’s heart.
“It’s me. Did you sleep?” Archie unconsciously softened his voice. Even the ruthless expression between his brows disappeared.
“I haven’t slept yet. I just took a shower. Are you home?”
“I was just about to go back. I won’t be going to your place tonight. Remember to take your medicine on time.”
“I’ve already taken my medicine. It’s so late. You should go home early and rest.” Emma was still hoping that Archie would not go and find her. When she saw herself in the mirror just now, she was quite frightened.
When she thought about how Archie had seen all of her embarrassment, she felt very depressed.
She seemed to have never seen Archie embarrass himself. He was always so elegant, noble, and calm.
On the contrary, she had lost her image time and time again.
“I just returned to Civada. Eve from your office is the murderer who harmed you.” Archie said in a low voice.
“What? How could it be her? I have no enmity with her, why would she want to harm me?” Emma was shocked. In her impression, Eve was a very disciplined person. She really did not expect that she would harm her.
“It’s not that she wanted to harm you. Someone gave her money to find a chance to kill you.” Archie corrected her.
“If it wasn’t her, then who was it?” Emma held her breath.
“It is Tasya!” Archie coldly said this name.
Emma’s taut heartstrings snapped. Although she had already expected that it would have something to do with her, when she really heard her name, she only felt a dull pain in her heart.
“I really didn’t expect that it would really be her.” Emma was silent for a long time before she smiled bitterly.
“Is it because of your friendship that your tone is so shaken?” Archie asked with a heartache.
Emma bit her lower lip and only admitted after a long time, “Yes, because. . . I don’t have many friends. She is the only one who is willing to be my friend.”
Archie heard it by his ear. He felt pain in his heart. This fool cared so much about this friendship because of this reason.
“What do you want to do with this matter?” Archie asked in a low voice.
Emma suddenly laughed. “I want to deal with it myself. Is that okay?”
“Are you going to reason with her?”
“No, I am going to say goodbye to the stupid me in the past.” Emma’s voice became lighter and more resolute.
“Oh? That is really interesting. Can I know how you plan to say goodbye?” Archie thought that she would be immersed in this sad friendship. He did not expect that she would so easily let go of that heavy past.
“I won’t say it now. We’ll decide tomorrow. Thank you for helping me find out the truth. Archie, you have done everything for me. What should I do if I don’t have you in the future?” Emma’s tone had a sour sense of reliance.
Archie’s heart was stirred. “There won’t be such a day. Don’t let your imagination run wild. I’m hanging up.”
Emma contentedly stuck the phone to her chest. He said that there wouldn’t be such a day. Was it true?
Even though she knew that he was comforting her, Emma still felt warm in her heart.
“Tasya, you really don’t understand me. In your eyes, I am still that weak and easily bullied straw bag?”
Emma opened her album. In the album, Tasya hid behind her with a smile on her face and the two of them laughed carefreely in front of the camera.
“Why is she standing behind me in every selfie? En, it must be because she has a small face and is really scheming.” After looking the album, Emma felt emotional again.
