It was her grandmother’s birthday today. Emma had mixed feelings when she thought about going to the Sandford Family for dinner.
If she had not been carried away 21 years ago, that home would have belonged to her.
Unfortunately, only now that she knew that she was a member of the Sandford Family, that unfamiliar home still made her feel distant.
Walking down the stairs, Emma opened the umbrella. Snowflakes fluttered about, making one’s mood improve.
The feeling of snow was still very good.
Recently, Emma had walked to the company on foot because it was only a ten-minute journey.
However, when she thought about the kidnapping, she was still very vigilant. Whenever a stranger followed and approached, she would run away.
However, her relationship with Archie was not that good now, so naturally no one would keep an eye on her.
Not everyone had the courage to commit a crime.
At noon, Minlan and the old lady each called Emma, hoping that she would definitely go back for dinner tonight.
Emma had already agreed long ago and naturally would not reject anymore.
Since Luisa did not like her going over, she still had to go over.
In the afternoon, Madame Sandford’s driver came over to pick her up.
Emma brought the lamp and sat in the driver’s car.
The car rolled over the snow and drove towards Sandford Family.
The villa of the Sandford Family had been around for some time, but the vice president’s residence was still very imposing.
Emma got out of the car and saw Minlan and Dexon coming out to welcome her.
“Emma, you are here!” Minlan had a happy and relieved smile on her face.
Dexon was also very happy when he saw his little daughter. His face was full of warmth.
“Dad, Mom!” Emma stiffly called out to them.
In her 21 years of life, the word ‘dad’ was very unfamiliar. On the contrary, she would occasionally call out ‘mom’ a few times.
That was why it was so awkward when she called out at this moment.
“It’s good that you’re back. Let’s go, let’s go home with Mom and Dad.” Minlan’s eyes reddened and she cried with joy.
Emma nodded and carried her birthday present and followed them into the hall of Sandford Family.
“Grandma!” Emma saw Madame Sandford walking down the stairs and immediately called out sweetly.
Madame Sandford’s eyes and brows were filled with a happy smile. “My little granddaughter, grandma is finally looking forward to you coming home. You have really thought hard of grandma.”
Emma was so touched that her eyes were a little moist.
“Oh, she really came.” Luisa also slowly appeared at the staircase and when she saw Emma, she said in a cold tone.
“Luisa, speak properly to your sister. Don’t be so eccentric!” Madame Sandford immediately scolded Luisa.
Luisa curled the corners of her mouth. “Grandma, even if you want to get used to it, there must be a deadline. Anyway, I don’t like having more people at home for no reason.”
Emma knew Luisa’s status in the Sandford Family. If she wanted to say something, she would say it. She was afraid that she was spoiled.
Therefore, she did not lower herself to her level and did not even reply to her.
“Emma, come here. We have prepared some fruits and desserts. Eat some first!” Minlan quickly called out.
“Okay!” Emma softly said, then sat on the sofa and picked up a strawberry to eat.
Luisa also walked to the sofa and sat down. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and stared at Emma with a pair of sharp eyes.
This feeling was really not good.
In the past, this house was always surrounded by her, but when Emma sat here, everyone’s eyes were looking at her. Luisa clearly felt that her status as a princess had been seriously challenged.
“This is your birthday present for grandma? This box is too old. Don’t tell me you are just taking cheap stuff from the old goods market to get rid of Grandma.” Luisa’s eyes stared at Emma’s face for a long time and realized that Emma did not put her in her eyes at all. Thus, she took the birthday present that she brought over to discuss matters.
Minlan felt that she could not take it anymore but Dexon was the first to berate her. “Luisa, no matter what kind of gift Emma gave to grandma, it is her intention. Don’t speak nonsense anymore.”
“I didn’t say anything wrong. If she didn’t casually take this thing out, wouldn’t she quickly open it for us to see?” Luisa said proudly, but she didn’t know what she said was wrong.
Madame Sandford, however, said with a kind face. “Even if Emma did not give me anything, I would be very happy. Furthermore, she even brought me a gift. No matter what, I like it.”
Emma felt that Luisa’s eyes were just like that. Actually, this wooden box looked simple and old, but it was also an impressive antique.
Since Luisa was so impatient to see her cheap goods, Emma could only push the wooden box in front of her grandmother. “Grandmother, you should take a look first. I don’t know if you like it!”
Madame Sandford excitedly reached out her hand to open the wooden box. When she saw the quietly placed lamp inside, Her eyes instantly lit up and she exclaimed, “Isn’t this the lamp that I had failed to bid two years ago? Oh my god! It was simply unbelievable, Emma. How did you have such an antique? This price is not cheap. Two years ago, it was worth more than a hundred thousand. I’m afraid that the rank has been flipped a few times.”
Luisa immediately widened her eyes in anger and also had a stunned face.
Minlan and Dexon exchanged glances and were also very curious about how Emma would know that her grandmother always wanted this lamp.
Emma naturally did not dare to tell the truth and could only smile and say, “Actually this lamp was taken from Archie. When I divorced him back then, I liked this lamp and then asked Archie to give it to me, so he gave it to me. I really didn’t know that Grandma liked this lamp. It seems that it was a lucky hit.”
Luisa angrily stared at Emma and sneered in her heart. What hit on the right track, it was simply investigated.
Tsk tsk, this scheming was too scary.
Emma could feel Luisa’s murderous gaze. However, she did not take it seriously at all.
Madame Sandford was extremely touched and kept muttering, “As expected of my good granddaughter. Even her hobbies are the same as mine. She really has good taste. Although this lamp looks ordinary, it is a unique treasure. Emma, thank you so much. Grandma likes it very much. I will definitely keep it well.”
Luisa was so angry that smoke was about to come out from her mouth. She originally wanted to see Emma make a joke but she did not expect that she would become a joke.
Emma accidentally made her grandmother like her again. Why was her luck so good?
She really deserved to die.
The maid in the house suddenly rushed in and reported, “Old lady, sir, a distinguished guest from the Wolfleim Family is here.”
Dexon immediately stood up and said, “I’ll go out and welcome them!”
Luisa looked up and said with a look of watching a good show, “Did you hear that? Your future husband is here. Why don’t you go out to welcome him?”
Emma frowned and immediately retorted, “Who said that I am going to marry into Wolfleim Family?”
“No one said that. It was you guys who were engaged since you were young. If you don’t marry Yoseph, do you still want to marry your brother-in-law? Can’t you show some face?” Luisa said sarcastically.
Minlan immediately said seriously, “Luisa, today is your grandmother’s birthday. Don’t say these unrelated words.”
“Mom, I think you should really have a good talk with the elders of Wolfleim Family about their marriage. If this continues, I’m afraid that it will delay my sister’s youth. A woman’s age can be passed easily. Once she grows old, I’m afraid that even the Wolfleim Family will reject her.” Luisa acted like a good person and advised.
Emma’s face sank and she replied coldly, “You don’t need to worry about my marriage. You should be careful.”
Luisa’s expression changed as she arrogantly said. “What do I need to be careful of? Be careful that you, a vixen, will take away my husband?”
Madame Sandford was really angry and slammed the table, “Luisa, shut up. Whoever wants to speak nonsense tonight, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
Luisa had never seen her grandmother be so fierce to her and was immediately scared to not speak nonsense anymore.
Emma picked up the tea on the table and slowly took a sip.
Tomorrow Archie said that the criminal called Heizi had been arrested and that he could be escorted back to the country tonight. He was afraid that he was already locked up in the cell for interrogation.
Although she really wanted to mention Heizi’s man, she was afraid that it would be a mistake. Luisa had long been prepared for this, so she could only bear with it and not say a word.
The atmosphere instantly became stiff and heavy. At this moment, at the door, Yoseph walked into the living room with his father, Jasson Wolfleim, and Old Master Wolfleim, smiling.
Yoseph looked at Emma, who was sitting on the sofa, and his eyes darkened.
He had expected Emma to come, but seeing her quiet and obedient look in the Sandford Family really moved him a little.
Old Master Wolfleim, who knew what his grandson was thinking, also looked at Emma for a few more seconds.
Looking at her clothes, it should be. . . She was a quiet girl.
Unfortunately, she was already married. Furthermore, her ex-husband was Archie.
Old Master Wolfleim sighed in his heart. What kind of bad karma did he commit?
Madame Sandford stood up and greeted them with a smile, “You all came here. It really touched me.”
“Madame Sandford, I wish you happy birthday first!” Jasson immediately walked over and said very politely.
Yoseph also smiled and said, “Grandma, this is a small gift, please don’t mind it!”
Madame Sandford immediately said politely, “The gift you guys gave, how would the old lady dare to dislike it? It’s too late to like it.”
Minlan also stood up to greet. Jasson suddenly saw Emma and was somewhat surprised. “Isn’t this. . . Young Master Grafton’s wife?”
Because Jasson had seen Emma before. At that time, she was still Archie’s wife.
Luisa immediately stood up and explained with a smile, “Uncle Jasson, she is his ex-wife. Archie has divorced her. Don’t you know about this?”
Emma rolled her eyes in her heart. Regarding any scandal related to Archie, Luisa seemed to have the authority to deal with it.
She really thought of herself as the female lead.
