The atmosphere in the office is at an impasse.
Separated by a desk, his former friend had turned against him and openly became his enemy.
Their sharp eyes met in the air, and sparks danced. In each other’s eyes, they saw the determination and coldness that had to be done.
“Archie. Do we really have to come this far for a woman?” Yoseph asked with a cold voice.
Archie sneered. “If you don’t fight with me, there will be no such thing as today.”
“She is my fiancée. I am with her openly. Why should I give in?” Yoseph gritted his teeth and said coldly.
“Do you know how long I have loved her? It has been almost three years. Even if you’re her fiancee, you have to tell me that you’ll fall first, and I’ll get her first” Archie did not give a single inch of his strength to defend his boundary. He also looked like he would not compromise.
Yoseph’s handsome face was ashen. He gritted his teeth with hatred. “She belongs to me from the moment she was born. If she really comes first, then I will have her before you.”
“Since you have said so much, let’s not waste any more time here. This is the end of our partnership.” Archie said coldly.
“This is exactly what I want to say. I will let my legal division handle these matters.”
“Alright, I will wait!” Archie nodded expressionlessly.
Yoseph stood up, his eyes flashing with a vicious light. He sneered and said, “I really don’t know what condition Benny gave you. He asked you to stand on his side.”
“As long as I want it, he will agree to any condition.” Archie replied in an extremely conceited manner.
Yoseph smiled contemptuously. “This condition is really tempting. Alright, from now on, we are no longer brothers.”
“The true legacy!” Archie also had a fake smile on his face, and his expression was cold.
“Indeed, I saved your life once, but you. . . Not only did you steal my woman, you also openly provoked me. Archie, you have now repaid kindness with enmity. Isn’t your Grafton Family’s education a bit of a failure?” Yoseph took the opportunity to speak unpleasant words to break Archie’s willpower.
Archie’s cold eyes were calm, and his voice was indifferent. “This is two different things, please do not mix them up. Furthermore, as far as I know, I seem to have already returned this favor to you. If you think that I haven’t repaid enough, you can raise another condition for me.”
Yoseph glared at him angrily. “What you said about returning the favor is merely allowing me to compete fairly with you for Emma. What kind of repayment is this?”
“You should feel lucky. If I didn’t allow it, you wouldn’t even have a fair chance.” Archie’s tone was cold and full of provocation.
“Why should I need you to give me a chance? What right do you have? I only proposed fair competition because we are brothers. Do you really think I don’t dare to rob you openly?” Yoseph was instantly angered. He felt like he was being stepped on by Archie.
Archie narrowed his eyes. Yoseph’s words were full of threat.
“An open robbery? Are you going to change your profession and become a robber? Or are you going to become a flower picker? As far as I know, aren’t you always arrogant and aloof? You are even more dismissive of women. I never thought that the young master of our Wolfleim Family has changed.”
Yoseph’s handsome face, which was embarrassed and angry after being ridiculed by him, turned slightly red. “You snatched her away at the wedding. Your behavior is also despicable.”
Archie, however, said frankly, “She loves me. You cannot deny this.”
“She will also love me. It is only a matter of time.” Yoseph was also very arrogant and frivolous.
“Yoseph, let me give you a piece of advice. Don’t do stupid things.” Archie was actually really afraid that Yoseph would do anything to hurt Emma.
Yoseph’s lips curled up and he was pleased with himself. “Are you afraid?”
“This is my loyal reminder!” Archie’s face was stern, and his voice was serious.
“Thank you, I will remember it!” After Yoseph finished speaking, he turned around and left angrily.
Archie looked at Yoseph’s cold and hard figure, and his eyes darkened.
In the next moment, he immediately called James. “Go to Civada now and bring Emma to the Grafton Family villa. Go and pick her up immediately.”
James was a little surprised when he suddenly received such an urgent order, but he still received the order.
After calling James, Archie continued to call Emma.
“Hello!” A soft and sweet voice sounded.
“I asked James to come and pick you up. Get ready and follow him immediately!” Archie sounded anxious.
Emma was surprised and asked, “Did something happen?”
“Don’t ask yet. Don’t go back to Civada for a while!”
“Archie, tell me, did something big happen? Am I in danger?” Emma panicked and asked urgently.
Archie sighed softly and his voice was somewhat sorrowful. “I fell out with Yoseph.”
“When did this happen?” Emma’s beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.
“Just now, he came to ask me why I wanted to help my uncle. And then he said he wanted to snatch you away, Emma. I’m really worried that if my opponent was anyone else. . . I wouldn’t be afraid, but he is Yoseph. It can be said that he knows me very well. He also knows what my weakness is.” Archie said in a deep voice.
“Yoseph, is he crazy?” Emma was shocked. He actually wanted to snatch her away? Was he a robber?
“If he had gone crazy on impulse, I wouldn’t be afraid. But his expression just now was very calm. This time, he was serious.”
Emma had already understood the seriousness of the matter and quickly replied, “Okay, I will pack my things right away. I won’t come to Civada anymore.”
If she lost her job, she would lose it, but she absolutely did not want to be separated from Archie.
Emma packed her bag and went to tell Kevin. Kevin looked at her worriedly, “Emma, you will not come to work in the future? What happened?”
“It’s my personal matter, Director Kevin. Thank you for taking care of me during this period of time. I’ll see you again when I have the chance!” After Emma finished speaking, she turned around and left.
However, just as she walked out of the office, she saw the female colleague who received her roses yesterday walk in with a sullen face.
When she saw Emma, she immediately went forward and begged, “Emma, help! The personnel department suddenly said that they want to fire me. I don’t know what mistake I made. But they just said that it was because I took your roses yesterday.”
“What? What kind of lousy reason is this!” When Emma heard this, she almost fainted from anger.
This was clearly Yoseph’s doing. It was really too much.
“Emma, you have to help me express my feelings. I admit that I was too greedy and liked that bouquet of roses. But I did not steal. You gave it to me. I just took it. I can’t be fired just because of this. I just had a child, so I can’t lose this job. Please.” The female colleague begged Emma with snot and tears.
Emma felt her heart ache when she saw this. She knew that her colleague was really innocent. Yoseph had come for her.
“Just you wait. I will ask on your behalf.” After Emma said that, she angrily ran to the elevator.
Although she was about to leave Civada, she absolutely could not let an innocent person take the blame for her.
This was the most basic principle of a person.
When Emma hurriedly pushed open Yoseph’s office door, she discovered that he was not in the office at all.
Emma bit her lips.
She took out her phone and called Yoseph directly.
“What is it?” Yoseph’s voice was lazy and very light.
“Did you ask the personnel to fire the female colleague who took the roses yesterday?” Emma asked straightforwardly.
Yoseph chuckled. “That’s right. It was my decision.”
“How can you use such a ridiculous reason to fire an employee?” Emma asked angrily.
“Because she is not smart enough. That rose was carefully picked by me for you. Why should she take it away?”
“I gave it to her. This has nothing to do with her. If you want to resign, resign me.”
“I can’t bear to!” Yoseph said straightforwardly. His words showed his deep affection for her.
Emma, however, did not appreciate his feelings at all. She still said angrily, “What do you want to do to let my colleagues go? The flowers are a gift from me. Please do not bring harm to the innocent.”
“Emma, you are so kind. If you do this, it will only make me crave you even more. Do you understand?” Yoseph’s voice became somewhat hoarse.
“Don’t disgust me. I have already clearly rejected you. Please don’t be so insensible and embarrass yourself.” Emma felt goosebumps all over her body.
“Emma, if there is no Archie in this world, the only person you can love is me. You better prepare yourself mentally.” Yoseph had completely turned black, and his voice was arrogant and domineering.
“What do you want to do? I forbid you from hurting Archie. Yoseph, if you have anything, just come at me.” Emma’s voice trembled when she heard this, and she roared furiously.
“I am here for you. Otherwise, who would have the face to do so?” Yoseph sneered.
Emma felt that talking to him would cost too many brain cells. She simply said in a cold voice, “Yoseph, I’m warning you. If you dare to hurt Archie, I will never let you go in this lifetime.”
“Tsk tsk, look at your deep tone, but it really makes me very angry.” Yoseph was also gnashing his teeth. Obviously, his words stung him.
Emma’s voice was even colder, “Just take advantage of your words. I will never fall in love with you in this lifetime. Stop dreaming.”
“Emma. . .” Yoseph gritted his teeth.
“Do you know the biggest difference between you and Archie? He is human, and you are scum!” Emma finally did not vent her anger and scolded him again.
“Emma, don’t force me!” Yoseph’s voice was already very dangerous.
He was also close to breaking down.
Emma was not afraid at all and said with a cold smile: “I did not force you. It was you who thought too highly of yourself.”
“If you want that colleague of yours to stay safe and sound, you can come and see me now. Do you dare?”
Emma was stunned. What did Yoseph want to do?
