Archie’s words made Dexon nervous. His voice sounded anxious and uneasy. “Young Master Archie, what did you say? Emma is gone? What’s going on?”
“I sent someone to look for her today and found that she wasn’t home. My phone was also switched off when I suddenly couldn’t find her. Vice President, she’s your daughter. . . You have to find her quickly, make sure she’s okay.” Archie’s tone was very firm. He also firmly believed that as a father, He was also very anxious.
Of course Dexon was anxious. However, he still had to calm down. “Alright, I’ll send someone to find her right away. I’ll first investigate the situation of her departure. Then, I’ll pull out the surveillance cameras in her neighborhood and see where she went.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you. I hope you quickly find her and don’t miss the time” Archie knew that with Dexon’s help, things would become much simpler.
“Young Master Archie is too polite. She is my daughter. I am more worried about her safety than anyone else. That’s all. I will inform you immediately if there is any news.” After Dexon hung up the phone, he immediately gave the order.
Archie held his phone and put his palm on the railing with some regret. His eyes were gloomy and anxious.
Emma, you must not let anything happen to you.
Luisa secretly hid at a corner not far away and saw Archie standing alone at the end of the corridor making all kinds of calls. She was in a very bad mood.
Emma was gone. Archie was so anxious that he was about to go crazy. What if she was gone today? Archie wouldn’t even ask about it.
It was just like how she had disappeared for two years and had never seen him look for her.
Archie panted heavily. The anxiety in his heart couldn’t be quelled. He forced himself to calm down.
If Luisa did not do this, Could it be. . .
Was it Grandfather?
Archie’s eyes instantly turned cold. In the next moment, he turned around in a hurry. No matter what, he had to confirm this with his grandfather.
When Archie walked into the restaurant, Old Master Grafton was serving breakfast under the maids.
“Archie, where’s Luisa?” Old Master Grafton looked up at him and asked.
“Grandpa, I’m here!” Luisa followed closely behind Archie and appeared at the entrance of the restaurant.
Archie coldly glanced at her. With a solemn expression, he sat beside Old Master Grafton.
The maid immediately prepared breakfast for him. Luisa gently pulled the chair beside him and sat down.
Old Master Grafton looked at the two of them sitting together. That scene looked really harmonious.
“En, they really match.” Old Master Grafton sighed with satisfaction.
Luisa’s lips curled up and her happiness was written on her face.
Archie, however, was expressionless. He took the cup by his hand, took a sip of milk, and put down the cup. He looked at his grandfather and said, “Grandfather, there is something I want to ask you face to face.”
“What is it?” Old Master Grafton looked up.
Luisa guessed that Archie would definitely ask about Emma. She immediately said, “Archie, today is grandfather’s birthday. In the morning, I heard from the servants that grandfather’s health is not good. At this time, don’t say anything that makes grandfather feel awkward.”
“You really talk too much!” Archie stared at her coldly.
Although Luisa was coldly looked at, she was not angry.
Old Master Grafton frowned and scolded Archie, “How did you talk to Luisa? Pay attention to your tone. Luisa was right. Today is my birthday. Don’t affect my mood.”
Archie’s expression became even more tensed and ugly. Because of Luisa’s words, his grandfather was unhappy.
“Tell me, what exactly do you want to tell me?” Old Master Grafton had already finished breakfast. He wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin and looked faintly at Archie.
“It’s fine. Grandpa, are you going to the banquet now?” Archie suddenly stopped talking about this matter.
“Yes, a few old friends arrived yesterday. I will go and meet them first. You and Luisa can come over later.” After Old Master Grafton said that, he ordered the maid to push his wheelchair and planned to go out.
When he left in the car, Archie tightly gripped the glass cup and heavily put it on the table. The milk splashed out.
Luisa was so scared that her body shrank and panic flashed across her eyes.
Archie’s gaze turned towards her and stared at her face. He said word by word, “Luisa, remember this. In the Grafton Family, you are not qualified to speak.”
“Archie. . .”
“If you can’t learn how to shut up, then get the hell out of here.” Archie didn’t give her any face, he just coldly warned her.
Luisa’s face was pale and she bit her lower lip. “Got it. I won’t speak nonsense anymore. Archie, can you not be angry? I’m also doing this for grandpa’s health. . . ”
“He is my grandpa, it has nothing to do with you.” Archie sneered coldly.
Luisa’s expression became even more miserable. She was somewhat unconvinced and said: “He has always treated me as his own granddaughter. It is also my duty to care about him.”
“His own granddaughter? You should not be thinking about these words in your heart, right? It should be his granddaughter-in-law.” Archie mocked her.
Luisa was so scared that she shivered. She had to say, “Grandfather has always treated me as his granddaughter-in-law. I am not self-righteous.”
“Luisa, you have already used up all of my remaining patience. Next, you take care of yourself and don’t provoke me.” Archie stood up coldly and threw away the napkin on his body. He turned around and went upstairs.
Luisa’s face turned pale and ugly after being taught a lesson by Archie. However, if a few fierce words could scare her away. . . She was not Luisa.
“Archie, sooner or later, you will accept me. Let’s wait and see.” Luisa muttered very proudly.
Two hours later!
Dexon called. Archie sat in the living room on the second floor with a gloomy expression. A thick smell of smoke filled the entire living room. In front of Archie, there were a few cigarette butts stuck in the urn.
“Is there any news about Emma?” After Archie answered the phone, the first thing he said was to ask urgently.
“I have investigated. She did not have any records of her leaving the country, so we can basically rule out that she went on a long journey alone.”
“Vice President, shouldn’t you check the entrance of her neighborhood and see if there were any cars passing by? It was early in the morning, so there shouldn’t be many cars.”
“I’m sending my men to investigate. . . I’ll contact you again if there’s any news. You should tell me too if there is a news from your side.” Dexon said anxiously.
“I will!” Archie hung up after saying that.
It was already past ten o’clock in the morning. As the only heir to the Grafton Family, Archie had to go to the banquet hall to receive guests.
Luisa was already standing beside Old Master Grafton in a dignified and elegant dress. She smiled and nodded at the guests who came in. She had the attitude of a host.
“Elder Grafton, who is this beautiful young lady?” A guest asked curiously.
Old Master Grafton answered directly, “Oh, she is my granddaughter-in-law. Her name is Luisa.”
“Miss Luisa, nice to meet you!”
The corner of Luisa’s mouth rose and immediately said politely, “Welcome to my grandfather’s birthday banquet.”
Archie’s face was as black as iron. Luisa really thought too much of herself.
However, with Old Master Grafton as her trump card, Luisa was naturally not afraid of anything. She even pretended not to see Archie’s disgusted face.
On the side, Ferdie did not have much of an opinion about Luisa, but his wife, Clara, was somewhat dissatisfied.
Luisa’s face was filled with ambition. If she became the young mistress of Grafton Family, she was afraid that she would not be able to obtain any benefits.
Clara was also an extremely ambitious woman. That was why she could see that Luisa was harder to deal with than Emma.
If Helena could marry Archie, it would be a huge benefit to her.
Unfortunately, Helena was not able to live up to expectations and could not enter Archie’s eyes. That was why she was always ignored.
Luisa’s gaze turned to the side and coldly looked at Clara who was forcing a smile. In her heart, She also did not have a good impression of a stepmother like her.
Not to mention that Archie hated this woman. Even if Archie accepted her, Luisa would never be friendly with her. After all, there could only be one mistress in the Grafton Family.
Although Clara was married to Ferdie, she had no right to interfere in any of Archie’s matters. Therefore, she could not play the role of an evil mother-in-law.
Archie stood at the side, accepting the compliments from the crowd. However, he kept looking at his phone and was absent-minded.
Old Master Grafton naturally saw that he seemed to have something urgent to attend to, so he immediately frowned unhappily. “Archie. What other matters do you have?”
“No, grandpa,” Archie answered in a low voice.
“Hmph, grandfather is already seventy years old. It wasn’t easy for me to celebrate my birthday, but you mind actually went somewhere else. I’m really disappointed.” Old Master Grafton was indeed very sad.
“Grandpa, it’s my fault. I really have nothing else to do.” Archie had no choice but to comfort his grandfather first, and then resist the urge to look at his phone.
At this moment, at the X Nation International Airport, a huge private jet landed on the ground.
Emma looked at the unfamiliar scenery outside the window. Her mood was indescribable.
She must have gone crazy. She actually followed Yoseph to X Country.
Whether it was impulsive or insecure, she had come anyway. She did not want to think about the things that she would not regret later.
“Emma, you should stay in the same hotel as me. It will also be convenient for me to take care of you!” Yoseph helped her carry the travel bag and said in a low voice.
“But Grandpa Grafton is holding a birthday banquet there. I am afraid. . . It will not be good if we meet someone familiar.” Emma actually did not have the courage to go to another hotel alone.
“Don’t worry. I will arrange for you to enter through the back door. I will definitely not let anyone discover your existence.” Yoseph comforted him in a low voice.
“But what if. . . No, I cannot make things difficult for Archie. I cannot go and cause trouble.” Emma shook her head hard. Reason told her that she must not do anything reckless.
