The door was slammed shut in front of Emma. She was so scared that she trembled slightly. When she regained her senses, she immediately ran to the side of the door.
Unfortunately, she could not stop Archie’s footsteps. Plus, she was only wearing a bathrobe at the moment, so she did not have the courage to chase after him.
“How could this be?” Emma twisted her eyebrows in pain. She clenched her fists and punched the wall twice.
Emma sat on the sofa listlessly. She saw the white phone Yoseph had lent her next to the open handbag.
Emma finally knew why Archie had come to open her bag. It turned out that Yoseph had come to find the white phone and found the box along the way. He saw the necklace.
Heavens, how could there be such a coincidence?
Emma regretted even more. If she had known earlier, she would not have taken Yoseph’s mobile phone and kept the necklace for him.
“Oh right, the necklace!” Emma quickly rushed into the bedroom and found the expensive diamond necklace on the blanket. The droplet-shaped pendant was inlaid with three big diamonds, shining brightly.
Emma put the necklace back into the box and closed it.
“I have to return this necklace to Yoseph as soon as possible.” Emma looked at the necklace that caused trouble and sighed bitterly.
It was already past five o’clock in the afternoon. Emma did not know what to do in the hotel. She just asked Archie to bring her a set of clothes. She did not know whether he would help her or not.
Thinking back to his angry expression just now, Emma could not help but tremble. This time, Archie was really jealous.
Ten minutes later, there was suddenly a knock on the door.
Emma’s depressed mood instantly recovered. She hurriedly climbed out of the bed to open the door.
“Archie. . .” Emma anxiously opened the door. She thought she would see a familiar figure, but she only saw a smiling waiter saying to her in English, “Miss, a gentleman asked me to bring you a set of clothes.”
Emma’s small face was clearly disappointed. She took the clothes and thanked him, then closed the door again.
Carrying the clothes and leaning against the door, Emma suddenly felt a little sad.
She was really asking for trouble. She was fine and well in the country. Why did she have to come to the country to suffer these crimes?
“No, I have to go back quickly!” Emma suddenly decided to return to the country. However, she soon found another cruel fact.
She did not have a passport and could not buy a plane ticket back.
It seemed that she could only take Yoseph’s private plane back to the country.
At this moment, the second banquet in the seven-star hotel had begun.
The banquet tonight was a feast. More than half of the guests were gone. Those who stayed were Old Master Grafton’s family and some of his friends.
Archie walked into the hall with an expressionless face. In an instant, he received the adoration of many young women.
In fact, there were many young girls who followed their fathers to the banquet today. It was inconvenient for them to interact with the young successors of Grafton Family during the banquet at noon, but the banquet tonight was much more casual. Therefore, there was a great chance for them to strike up a conversation.
Luisa was currently accompanying her mother and grandmother, listening to some interesting things that her grandmother and Old Master Grafton were talking about in the past.
But her heart was not listening to those old things. Her beautiful eyes kept blinking, hoping that Archie could come over as soon as possible.
When she heard some girls start whispering excitedly, Luisa’s eyes also saw a tall and straight figure walking in.
It was Archie. He had come!
Luisa was looking forward to seeing him just now, but she really saw him. When she saw his handsome and elegant demeanor, her mood inexplicably became stuffy again.
When she called him just now, she suspected that there was a woman beside him.
Presumably, he must have had a very happy afternoon with that woman.
Which shameless bitch was that?
Luisa was lost in her thoughts when she saw Archie walking towards her.
She looked at him with a complicated expression. His cold face had a faint smile.
“Grandpa, did you talk about the past with Grandma Sandford again?” Archie did not even look at the disappointed Luisa by the side. He just smiled and greeted Old Master Grafton and Madame Sandford.
When Old Master Grafton saw him now, his dignified face darkened. “Archie, I asked you to help me greet the guests of Sandford Family. Where have you been the whole afternoon?”
“I drank too much. I rest in my room.” Archie quickly replied apologetically.
“Have you rested well now? Luisa has been waiting for you here for a long time. You should get along well with her.” Old Master Grafton had actually always known that Luisa was absent-mindedly waiting for him. That was why he asked his grandson to talk to her so openly.
“Yes!” How could Archie not understand what his grandfather meant? He straightened his body and turned to Luisa. “Come with me to have a drink.”
A flash of joy flashed across Luisa’s disappointed face. She turned her graceful figure and followed by Archie’s side, full of tenderness.
Today, Luisa was wearing a pure white fishtail evening gown. She was pure and noble.
The color that she liked was more flamboyant and gorgeous. However, ever since she knew Archie liked Emma’s type, she tried to dress herself up as simple as possible.
Archie took a glass of wine from the waiter and stood by the railing.
Luisa also took a glass of wine and leaned against him.
The atmosphere seemed to be unusually quiet.
“Are you resting alone in the afternoon?” Luisa endured the words for a long time but in the end, she still could not bear it.
She knew that Archie liked to do anything openly, even if he really slept with another woman in the afternoon. He would definitely not hide it from her. He disdained it.
“No!” Archie’s eyes darkened slightly, and he answered very lightly.
Luisa’s heart ached. Sure enough, Archie had been with another woman.
“Who is that woman? It can’t be Emma, right?” Luisa asked tentatively as if she wanted to confirm something.
Archie turned his face and glanced at her indifferently. He glanced at her. “Who did I sleep with? This is my business. Can you please not care so much?”
“Archie, I understand!” Luisa pretended to be generous and said, “Men will always play a little before they get married. These things, I can ignore you.”
“You have more and more potential to be a virtuous wife. You don’t even mind if I sleep with other women.” Archie looked at Luisa in a different light.
Luisa laughed at herself. “Even if I do mind, what’s the use? You don’t care how I feel. I might as well live a more comfortable life. Since I have fallen in love with you. . . Of course I love your advantages and disadvantages. Don’t men like sensible and generous women? Archie, I can change anything for you.”
“Luisa, you don’t have to change anything for me.” Archie was not interested in Luisa, but he had to admit that Luisa had changed a lot. She had polished off her proud edges and became more and more feminine.
“Archie, I don’t care how you look at me. I won’t be angry anymore. Yes, I know you’ve always rejected our engagement. I don’t blame you. You’re young now, and when you’re mature enough, you’ll find out who’s more suitable to be your wife.” Luisa was very confident in many things. Emma could not compare to her.
Archie did not speak, his eyes staring out the window.
Luisa’s heart was somewhat sad, but she suddenly begged in a somewhat extravagant manner, “Archie, can I lean on your shoulder for a bit? Just a little.”
Archie still did not answer her. Luisa only thought that he acquiesced, so she gently leaned her head on his shoulder, as if she found a safe harbor. She closed her eyes obsessively.
Archie did not care about Luisa, who was leaning on him. His mind drifted to the hotel a few kilometers away from here.
On the way back, he suddenly remembered that the woman had no clothes to wear. So, he called and arranged for someone to give her a set of clothes.
However, he still felt very uncomfortable about the necklace.
With his experience, he knew that the necklace was definitely very expensive. Emma had put it in her bag. Was this really a gift from Yoseph? Or. . . Did she accidentally take it as a dress?
Just as the two of them were silent, not far away, a person took out his phone and silently took a picture of this scene.
Yoseph pursed his lips. He really didn’t expect to see such an interesting scene the moment he stepped into the banquet hall.
Archie and Luisa were actually so close to each other.
Could it be that Archie suddenly discovered that Luisa was also a woman who could develop?
Yoseph’s mood inexplicably became better. Such an interesting scene. It was such a waste for him to admire it alone.
Therefore, Yoseph moved his phone and the photo was instantly sent to Emma’s phone.
At this moment, after Emma put on her clothes, she did not know where to go. She just sat on the sofa in the hotel in a daze.
When her phone rang, she was shocked. Could it be that Archie had sent her a message?
She happily grabbed her phone and quickly opened the text message. Two photos suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.
“Luisa?” Emma’s eyes instantly froze and she widened her eyes in disbelief. “She is with Archie?”
Before Emma could react from these two intimate photos, her phone suddenly rang. She was shocked.
Seeing that it was Yoseph calling, her small face slightly changed and answered.
“Did you see the photo I sent?” Yoseph asked her lightly.
“Why did you send this to me?” Emma’s tone was somewhat stiff.
“No reason. I just want you to see the reality clearly. The man you love is currently leaning against your love rival and admiring the night.” Yoseph’s tone was still indifferent.
Emma’s heart suddenly felt a sharp pain and her eyes turned red for no reason. However, she did not want to discuss the matter of Archie and Luisa with Yoseph.
“Yoseph, can you find someone to come over? I will return your box to you!” Emma said in a low voice.
