Yoseph’s evil nature. . . It wasn’t Emma’s first time seeing it, but there were some things that she couldn’t tolerate.
“Wow, Emma, this flower is so beautiful. Who gave it to you?” When she carried the flower back to the office, a female colleague exclaimed.
“Do you like it? I’ll give it to you!” Emma suddenly had a crafty thought. It was a pity that she threw the flower away. She might as well give it to the person who liked it.
“Really?” The female colleague was surprised and could not believe it. She pointed at herself again. “You really want to give it to me!”
“Yes, really. I don’t like roses!” Emma saw that she really liked roses and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
The female in the office immediately cast an envious look and hated that she did not greet Emma earlier.
Emma returned to the office and suddenly heard her phone ring. She took it out to take a look. It was Minlan.
It seemed that she would not give up.
No matter what, Emma would not budge an inch. She wanted to protect her love.
“Hey, Mom, is she alright?” Emma stood by the curtains and looked at the traffic under her feet as she asked faintly.
“There are three stitches on the wound and it is not a big problem. Emma, mom knows that she does not have the face to plead with you but mom still hopes that the two of you will not continue to be in a deadlock like this. Mom’s heart aches when she sees it.” Minlan really could not bear the torment in her heart and could not help but choke.
“Mother, this matter cannot be blamed on you. . . ”
“No, it’s my fault. It’s all my fault. If I didn’t lose you, you guys would definitely be very good sisters.”
Emma frowned. Her mother’s sad voice made her very sad.
“Mom, it’s meaningless for you to say this. Things have reached this stage. How should we solve it?” Emma suppressed the sadness in her heart and said indifferently.
“I know about your matter. It was all because of Archie. I just talked to your sister. She won’t fight with you for Archie anymore. Can you do it on account of her repenting for her mistakes? This time, don’t make things worse. Your father’s election is near. If you cause such a family scandal, I’m afraid your father won’t have the chance to be the president.” Minlan asked anxiously.
Emma became silent.
“Emma, help your father. Electing the president has always been his biggest dream. Can you bear to tear apart your father’s hope?”
“Your father has put in a lot of effort for this. Recently, he has been under so much pressure that he can’t sleep at night. His heart also has problems. If he doesn’t succeed in the election, I’m really afraid that he won’t be able to bear it and will collapse.” The more Minlan spoke, the more wronged she felt. The more she spoke, the more afraid she became.
Emma bit her lower lip in pain. She knew that there would definitely be a day when she would make a choice.
“This matter. . . I might. . . ”
“Emma, please treat this as mom begging you. Please don’t let this matter become public. Your sister will be punished but can you delay it for a period of time and wait for the election to pass. . . ”
“Mom, you really put me in a difficult position. Let me think about it.” Emma really could not make such a ruthless decision.
“Okay. Mom will wait for your answer, but I really hope you will think about your dad. It was not easy for him.”
“I know!” Emma quickly hung up the phone and fell into deep sorrow.
What should she do?
What could she do?
Yesterday, she refused to help her father win over the Wolfleim Family, but today, she had to bear with it for the sake of his election.
Why did she have to make such a difficult decision?
Not long after Minlan hung up, her phone rang again. This time, it was Dexon who called her.
Emma hesitated and finally allowed the phone to ring non-stop.
She really did not want to face this matter directly. Luisa wanted to kill her but she only wanted to teach her a lesson based on facts. Could it be that she was wrong?
Why couldn’t she take revenge happily even if she wanted to? Why were there always so many obstructions?
It seemed like she could only wait for the news from Archie.
At this time, Archie should be on the plane and couldn’t answer the phone. So, she had to wait for Archie’s plane to land before discussing how to deal with this matter with him.
After five hours of flight, Archie took a car and headed towards his grandfather’s sanitation villa.
At this moment, Old Master Grafton was sitting by the lake and fishing. His days were leisurely and safe.
“Grandpa. . .” Archie walked over from afar and called him in a low voice.
Old Master Grafton turned his head in surprise and saw Archie. He frowned and said, “Why did you come without saying anything?”
“I have an urgent matter to report to grandpa, so I came without asking.” Archie walked to his grandpa’s side and pulled a chair to sit down.
“What dispute?” Old Master Grafton asked. He looked serious.
Archie reached into his pocket and took out a recording pen. “Grandfather, I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you. Luisa is suspected of kidnapping and selling security documents. She will be charged immediately.”
Old Master Grafton was shocked and his old eyes widened. “What did you say? How is this possible?”
Archie sneered. “To be honest, I am also very shocked. I did not expect Luisa to have the courage to commit a crime. I always thought that she was very timid.”
Old Master Grafton’s shrewd eyes darkened. “Chie, I don’t like you making this kind of joke. I understand Luisa. She won’t know the law and break the law. Don’t forget who her father is.”
“It’s very shocking. This time, I’m afraid it will overthrow grandpa’s fantasy.” After Archie finished speaking, he pressed the recording pen.
Old Master Grafton’s expression instantly froze.
When he finished listening to Heizi’s confession, he was very solemn.
“Grandfather, don’t tell me you think I am framing her.” Archie saw his grandfather’s solemn face and immediately smiled.
“Luisa really let him kidnap Emma?” Old Master Grafton was still very shocked, but he also found it hard to believe.
“That’s right. Not only did she let these bastards kidnap her, she also planned to send her to an auction in front of a group of men. Such a terrifying evil act, it really makes people’s hair stand on end.” Archie’s tone was gloomy and angry.
Old Master Grafton shook his head. “How could it be like this? I always thought that she was a gentle and sensible girl.”
“That’s because she knows how to pretend. In front of someone she wants to please, She’s as pure as an angel, but your grandson grew up with her. In fact, when she was seven or eight years old, she already knew how to pretend to be pitiful. I remember clearly that after she crushed someone else’s toy, when the teacher came over. . . She was the first to file a complaint, using preemptive measures. But I still remember it deeply.” Archie said with a sneer.
Old Master Grafton frowned and looked at his grandson. “Why have I never heard you say these things?”
“I don’t have any evidence to prove that she is a two-faced woman. I’m afraid that grandpa will scold me again.” Archie laughed bitterly at himself.
“If she really is such a vicious woman, then it would be disappointing.” Old Master Grafton sighed bitterly. The higher his expectations were, the greater his disappointment would be.
“Grandpa, it’s not too late for you to know what kind of person she is now. If you force me to marry her, I’m afraid that Grafton Family will never have a peaceful day.” Archie said with relief.
Old Master Grafton turned around and glared at him. “I know what you are thinking.”
Archie raised his eyebrows. “I did not say anything. How would grandpa know what I am thinking?”
“You are thinking that it is impossible between you and Luisa. You can go and eat the grass.” Old Master Grafton snorted.
Archie laughed. “Grandfather, Emma is really not a bad person. You just misunderstood her.”
“You lied to me about getting pregnant. Is this also a misunderstanding?” Old Master Grafton said angrily.
“She is really innocent. When I told you that she was pregnant, She didn’t know about this at all, Grandpa. Please believe me, on the day of the wedding, She took the blame for me, so she stood up and admitted that she was the one who lied. Because of this, I’ve always blamed myself.” Archie explained anxiously, sincerely hoping that his grandfather would listen to him.
“Chie, you should focus on your work during this period of time. About marriage. . . I’ll talk about it in the future.” Old Master Grafton naturally heard it. But what he was worried about was another matter. It was the matter of Archie risking his life to block the knife for her.
“Grandfather, I request you to allow me to continue my relationship with Emma.” Archie sincerely requested.
Old Master Grafton looked at the lake and shook his head. “Chie, grandpa is really afraid. You are the only child of Grafton Family. Grandpa is afraid of losing you.”
“Grandpa will not lose me!” Archie replied in a daze.
“Let grandpa think about it. Don’t mention this matter for the past few months. After I have thought about it, I will give you an answer.” Old Master Grafton could see that his grandson was very serious. He could only sigh.
“Okay, grandpa. I will wait for your answer.” A smile suddenly flashed across Archie’s handsome face.
Based on his understanding of his grandfather, if he said he wanted to consider, he should have succeeded by half.
It was rare to see a smile on Archie’s face. Old Master Grafton also sighed and smiled. “Young man, don’t take love too seriously. This is just a moment of passion.”
“Grandpa, after the passion is gone, you still want to hold hands with the other party and walk down. That must be love.” Archie said with a sigh.
“Go fishing with me. If you can catch five fish today, grandpa will promise you.”
“What?” Archie’s handsome face fell. Actually, he was not very interested in fishing. Furthermore, he was not very good at fishing.
“Let’s see if the heavens will agree to this matter.” Old Master Grafton was deliberately making things difficult for him.
In fact, when Old Master Grafton heard that Luisa was suspected to have committed a crime, he immediately gave up on Luisa. Young mistress of Grafton Family must have a clean family background and be kind and innocent. Crimes were really disappointing.
Therefore, Old Master Grafton agreed to consider it. In fact, he had other plans.
Archie was willing to risk his life for Emma. What about Emma?
If she couldn’t withstand his test, Old Master Grafton wouldn’t give her another chance.
“Grandfather, are you serious?” Archie had already picked up the fishing gear and started fishing.
Old Master Grafton nodded. “Yes, I’m serious.”
