Emma also had a belly full of resentment. Luisa was always against her. How could there be a trace of sisters?
At the end of the day, in Luisa’s eyes, she was just a wolf in sheep’s clothing, staring at the family property of the Sandford Family like a tiger eyeing its prey.
Luisa was scared and panicked because everything that originally belonged to her now had to be split into two. Emma, whom she hated the most, wanted to take away one point. Moreover, she might take even more.
Hence, Luisa inexplicably wanted to step on her. Even if it was a small matter like a birthday present, she would not let it go.
Emma really only had hatred towards this biological older sister.
Just now, she was still hesitating if she should give this lamp to her grandmother as a birthday present. After being provoked by Luisa like this, Emma had already decided. She must give it to her without a doubt.
However, when Luisa mentioned that the Wolfleim Family and Grafton Family would come over, Emma’s heart skipped a beat.
Apart from Yoseph, his elders would also come.
As for the Grafton Family, if Old Master Grafton didn’t come personally, then the person who represented the Grafton Family might be Archie or the father.
No matter who it was, tomorrow would be a tough battle.
Luisa’s aggressiveness, the mysteriousness of the Wolfleim Family, and the dangers of her father’s side.
Emma felt that the more she grew, the harder the outer shell on her body became.
In the past, she was unwilling to accept the fact that she had grown up and matured, but now, the truth was right in front of her eyes. Somehow, she had matured.
Heh, she really didn’t want to give her any excessive period of time. After marrying Archie, she obviously wasn’t that childish anymore.
Someone knocked on the office door again. After Emma put the light down, she said lightly, “Come in!”
The one who pushed the door and entered was one of Tasya’s assistants. She held an exquisite small box in her hand. “Miss Emma, this is a bracelet that Tasya specially picked for you to express her gratitude. She also said that you must take it.”
“Put it down. Thank you!” Emma did not stand on ceremony with her and only asked her to put it down and leave.
The assistant put it down and left. When she left, her heart was full of drama.
This Miss Emma really thought that she had too many things. She did not even say a word of rejection and just took it. After all, it was something worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Emma took the box and did not look at it. She directly locked it in the drawer.
Did Tasya start to be grateful to her now? Unfortunately, it was already too late.
Her heart, which had been hurt, had long since turned cold. The feelings of the sunset no longer existed. Only the secular world was like a transaction.
After the shift, Emma prepared to leave Civada and return home.
Along the way, she coincidentally met Emily.
When Emily saw her, she walked over and greeted her, “Cousin, it has been so long since you returned to Quinsley Family for a meal. Grandfather has always been worried about you.”
Emma lightly smiled and said. “When I have time, I will go back!”
Emily suddenly asked again, “I heard that you were dumped by Young Master Archie recently. Is this true?”
“What do you think?” Emma was really speechless. Did everyone who had seen her use this kind of words to stab her?
Fortunately, it was fake. She did not feel any pain or itch. If it was real, then it was simply sprinkling salt on her wound. It was painful to death.
Emily laughed sarcastically. “I think it is true. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have gone to your ex-boyfriend to complain and comfort him.”
“Ex-boyfriend?” Emma was surprised and puzzled. “Where did my ex-boyfriend come from?”
“Jimmy, he is your 10, 000, 000 spare tire. No matter who you’ve been with, or what kind of damage you’ve suffered, He will be so generous to accept you. You are really lucky to have such a good spare tire. He can help you deal with the aftermath at any time.” Emily’s tone was filled with jealousy. Indeed, she was really jealous that Jimmy protected Emma like this.
Emma did not understand what she meant and frowned, “Emily, why did you say such words? Didn’t I tell you clearly last time? Jimmy and I are only friends.”
“Are you really just friends? Who are you trying to fool? There can’t be a simple friendship between the opposite sex. Unless you love him, or he loves you.” Emily’s tone was somewhat agitated. Because she felt that Emma had lied to her. She said one thing, but when she did it, it was another. There was still a video recording on her phone. That intense hug. . .
Emma really did not know why Emily became so unconfident. In the past, she even never take men seriously?
“Emily, I didn’t expect you to love Jimmy so much. You are starting to get jealous of me.” Emma lightly raised her chin and imitated her previous tone of scolding herself as she mocked.
Emily was instantly stunned. She. . . She was jealous?
“What nonsense are you talking about? Who said that I like him? I only feel that he is not bad and do not wish to be hung up by you in such an unjust manner.” Emily said proudly with a face full of justice.
Emma lightly scoffed. “Oh, when did you care so much about Jimmy? I remember you used to look down on him.”
“I. . . ” Emily was so choked that she could not speak. Her face turned red. Finally, she simply said, “That’s right. I like Jimmy. So, please don’t continue to entangle with him. If you break it, it will break.”
Emma was actually really shocked. Emily liked Jimmy. The proud daughter of a rich family was also willing to lower her head to admit her love.
“Emily, I told you before that if you like him, then go and get along with him. Don’t come to my place to make a fuss. Actually, I haven’t contacted Jimmy for a long time. I met him by chance on the day of the fashion show.”
“Accident? That’s too much of a coincidence. You just happened to sit beside him?” Emily did not believe in any coincidental events. It was obvious that it was deliberately arranged.
“How can I explain it to you to believe me?” Emma frowned and then said in a cold voice, “If you don’t believe me, there is nothing I can do.”
Emily sneered, “Of course I don’t believe you, but I have to remind you not to treat Jimmy as a good medicine for you to lose your love. You are not worthy. If you continue to pester him, you will have to bear the consequences.”
A good medicine for a breakup?
Emma really felt that Emily’s words were becoming more and more polite. She did not break up again.
Seeing Emily gritting her teeth and leaving, Emma secretly sighed. Forget it, she was too lazy to bicker with her.
It was just that she said that she would bear the consequences. Was this considered a threat to her?
“Emma, why are you in such a hurry to leave? We just arranged a department gathering. Are you coming?” Kevin’s assistant hurriedly chased after her and said while panting.
Emma was stunned for a moment. “A meeting in the department? Tonight?”
“That’s right. You can come with me. We are all colleagues in the department. It will be more lively if there are more people.”
Emma nodded. “Alright. Anyway, I don’t want to go home and cook for myself.”
The meeting place of the department was a hotpot restaurant that Kevin chose.
When winter came, hotpot became the hot choice at the dining table.
In a large private room, there were two tables, a total of more than 20 people. Emma sat in the middle of her colleagues, playing with her phone as she waited for the meal to begin.
Suddenly, a message floated in.
She opened it and took a look. It was Archie, asking where she was.
“My colleagues are having dinner today. I’m eating hotpot.” Emma answered honestly.
After half the sun had risen, she did not hear Archie reply to her again.
Emma furrowed her brows. Could it be that Archie was angry?
But what was there to be angry about? Her participation in the department’s gathering should be considered part of her work.
Kevin’s phone suddenly rang. After taking a look, he quickly stood up and ran out to answer the phone.
“What? President Archie wants to come to our department’s gathering? James, Are you joking?”
“No, President Archie and I are on our way here. Tell me your address!” James said very seriously.
Kevin did not dare to say anything. He quickly sent the address over.
He was a little puzzled. A mysterious boss like President Archie had never participated in the company’s internal gatherings. Today, he suddenly said that he was coming. . .
Kevin looked at Emma, who was quietly sitting in her seat, and smiled in understanding.
“Hey, everyone quiet down. I have something to say!” Kevin suddenly shouted.
Everyone calmed down and stared at Kevin.
Kevin prepared his lines and said, “A big shot is coming over. Guess who it is?”
“Big shot? Could it be Our Chief?”
“Could it be President Yoseph?”
Emma’s beautiful eyes widened slightly. Was Yoseph coming over?
No way. She did not want to be with him. She did not want Archie to be jealous again.
“Neither!” Kevin had whetted everyone’s appetite. He said mysteriously, “It is President Archie, who is rarely seen in a hundred years.”
“Ah. . . It can’t be!” Everyone looked at Emma with very ambiguous eyes.
It was no longer a secret that Emma was Archie’s ex-wife. However, it was rumored that they had broken up recently. They did not know if it was true or not.
However, everyone still felt some sympathy for Emma. She was divorced after marrying President Archie a few days ago. They heard that she was unable to give birth to a child and was chased out by old master. After that, the news about the two of them became more and more true. They said that Emma was beaten into the Cold Palace and would never be allowed to use her.
“Everyone. . . Why are you looking at me? President Archie and I have long been in the past!” Emma immediately lowered her head to drink a mouthful of water and said with a dry smile.
When everyone heard her personally admit that this relationship had ended, they looked at her with even more sympathy.
“Emma, how much did he give you when you were married to President Archie?”
“Yes, yes, I am very curious.”
“Just tell us! We definitely won’t rob you.”
Emma was surrounded by questions from her colleagues and felt dizzy.
In the end, she could only smile bitterly and say, “You guys don’t need to ask. This is a secret.”
“Looks like it is definitely enough for you to spend the rest of your life. I really envy you. It has only been two months since you got married and you have already gotten a lifetime’s assurance.”
“I’m also very envious. If only I had that much money as well.”
Emma really did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Your imagination is really too rich. Why don’t you all just write a novel. I heard that writing a novel also makes a lot of money.”
Only then did everyone let her go.
