He looked at Yoseph’s handsome face. Under the electric shock, pain flashed across his face.
Although Emma felt that her attack was a little too heavy, when she thought about how he had actually trapped her here, her hand that was pressing the switch did not want to loosen at all.
Although the shop owner said that she could stun people in two seconds, Yoseph actually lasted for a full five seconds before he completely lost consciousness. His tall and big body collapsed just like that.
Emma hurriedly took a few steps back. Seeing Yoseph fainting in pain, she secretly sighed. She sighed, “Yoseph, don’t blame me. You forced me to do this.”
Before Emma came, she had planned to take a few photos of Yoseph and upload them to the internet after he fainted. It would affect his reputation, but now she saw him lying on the ground without attacking. How could she still be in the mood to take photos? She had to run for her life.
Hence, after Emma put the baton back into her bag, she ran to the window. Luckily, the window could be pushed.
Emma thought in her heart, Wira must be guarding the door. How should she get out?
Emma was distressed about her escape plan. Finally, she picked up a stone from the ground.
Silently walking to the corner of the wall, she looked in the direction of the main door, and indeed saw Wira standing in the direction of the main door like a statue.
Luckily, Wira was the only one here. If there were other bodyguards around, Emma would not be able to escape.
After thinking of a plan, Emma threw the stone in her hand onto the glass window.
The clank was very clear and loud in this quiet courtyard.
Wira was indeed alarmed. He ran to the door of the living room anxiously.
Emma took advantage of the moment when he unlocked the lock and ran to the door with all her might.
While running, she was glad that she really escaped.
Just as Emma anxiously wanted to stop a car and leave, she realized that there was actually not a single taxi at this time.
“It can’t be, I’m so unlucky.” Emma anxiously stomped her feet.
Just as she was about to use her legs to escape, a black motorcade suddenly appeared on the road not far away.
It rolled over the snow, and among them was a black car that was surrounded by snow. It made a quick turn. It stopped in front of Emma.
Emma’s beautiful eyes widened. She was anxious and did not look at the license plate. She thought that Yoseph’s bodyguard had arrived.
She kept thinking in her heart that it was over. This time, she would be arrested again.
The car door was quickly pushed open and a tall figure walked down.
“Emma, why are you here?” Archie’s face suddenly entered Emma’s panicked eyes. He anxiously grabbed her shoulders and asked her worriedly.
“Ar. . . Archie, is it really you?” Emma was still in disbelief. The surprise came too suddenly. Just now, she thought that she could not escape. When she saw Archie’s figure, her mood turned to joy and she immediately threw herself into his arms.
Archie hugged her tightly and anxiously asked, “Are you hurt? Was it Yoseph who brought you here? Did he do anything to you?”
Emma heard Archie’s concern and could only shake her head, “I’m fine, Archie, I’m fine!”
“Let me check!” Archie was not at ease. He gently pushed her away from his embrace. His sharp eyes looked from Emma’s head to her feet. He only calmed down when he confirmed that she was really unharmed.
Emma looked at him emotionally and the corner of her mouth rose. “I am really fine. Don’t worry.”
“Is Yoseph inside? I have to go in and ask him why he kidnapped you.” Archie raised his head and looked at the old mansion. His eyes were filled with anger.
Emma laughed awkwardly, “Archie, you better not go in. I’m afraid he can’t answer you now.”
“Why?” Archie was slightly shocked when he heard her.
Emma could only answer truthfully, “I used the electric baton to stun him.”
Archie was shocked again. His gloomy eyes fixed on her smiling face for a long time. Finally, he also laughed. “Yoseph definitely wouldn’t have thought that he would fall into your hands.”
“Who asked him to threaten me? He deserves it.” Emma gritted her teeth and said.
Archie tidied her messy long hair and asked curiously. “Oh, why did he threaten you?”
Emma looked at Archie with her beautiful eyes and said, “Yesterday he gave me a bouquet of roses. In a fit of anger, I passed it to my colleague. I didn’t expect that the Human Resources Department would fire her today because of this matter. I know this must be Yoseph’s doing behind the scenes. So I called him and he asked me to come here to see him. That’s why he let my colleague go, so I came!”
“You came prepared!” Archie had a smile on his face. He really wanted to go in and see how Yoseph was electrocuted. It must be very funny.
Emma pouted her small mouth and said somewhat unwillingly, “Of course I won’t take the initiative to come over and be bullied by him.”
“You have done very well. In the future, if anyone dares to bully you again, you will take revenge like this.” Archie said softly.
Emma was slightly stunned, then she said with some embarrassment, “Don’t you think I am a vicious person?”
“Silly, no matter how vicious you are, you can’t poison Yoseph. You are defending yourself.” Archie reached out and held her slender waist. “It’s cold outside. Let’s go back.”
“Yes!” Emma bent down and sat in the car. Archie also sat in the car.
The motorcade quickly disappeared in the snow.
At that moment, beside the antique living room bar counter, Wira helped Yoseph, who was knocked out by the electric current, to the sofa and sat down.
“Young master, young master, what happened? Why are you lying on the floor? Where’s Miss Emma?”
Wira lightly patted Yoseph’s face, wanting him to wake up as soon as possible.
But this time, Yoseph was really electrocuted badly. No matter how Wira slapped him, he didn’t wake up.
In the end, Wira could only make a strange move. He took out a glass of ice water and poured it on Yoseph’s face.
Stimulated by the ice water, Yoseph slowly woke up. However, he only felt pain all over his body.
“Damn it!” After Yoseph woke up, he cursed in a low voice, “She plotted against me!”
When Wira heard the word ‘plotted against’, he was instantly shocked. “Young master, are you saying Miss Emma knocked you out? I just heard the sound of the glass. What did she use to knock you out?”
“She didn’t knock me out. She held an electric baton in her hand and knocked me out.” Thinking of the scene just now, Yoseph felt extremely embarrassed and angry.
It was too embarrassing. He was actually plotted against by a woman and was even knocked out by the lightning. This was definitely the darkest and most miserable time in his life.
After Wira heard this, he held back his laughter. When had young master ever been so miserable?
Yoseph also found it funny. He couldn’t help but laugh. “This woman is getting bolder and bolder.”
“Does young master want to punish this Miss Emma? It is indeed too much. She actually used an electric baton to you.” Wira also wanted to laugh, but he did not dare. He could only help defend Yoseph.
“Punish her?” Yoseph laughed at himself. “How can I punish her? Can I bear to?”
Wira sighed. “Young master treats Miss Emma really well.”
“Unfortunately, she does not appreciate it. What’s the use of being good?” Yoseph pressed his head in pain. “Don’t tell me you electrocuted me into an idiot? I have a headache.”
Wira burst out laughing. He finally could not hold back his laughter. Young master was still in the mood to joke at this moment, which meant he wasn’t too angry.
Yoseph stared at him. “Alright, stop laughing. Let’s go!”
Wira quickly helped him up. “Young master, should we go to the hospital for an examination?”
“No need. I’m fine! It’s just too f*cking painful!” Yoseph cursed fiercely.
Back in the car, Emma leaned lightly in Archie’s arms. Her mood was very messy.
Archie’s hand wrapped around her waist domineeringly and held her in his arms.
His other hand held her soft little hand, and gently pinched her palm.
Emma listened to Archie’s strong heartbeat and suddenly remembered what Yoseph had said to her. Her heart tightened slightly.
Suddenly, she asked in a low voice, “Archie, have you killed anyone?”
The large palm holding her small hand stiffened slightly and shrank back.
“Why do you ask?” Archie’s tone was a little surprised.
“Nothing, I’m just curious.” Emma looked up at him quietly, waiting for his answer.
Archie met her clear eyes and his mind moved. He wanted to lie to her, but he could not bear to.
“If I had killed someone, would you be afraid of me?” Archie’s eyes were locked on her little face, not letting go of any expression on her face.
Emma lowered her eyelids and her long eyelashes trembled. She said softly, “I am not afraid!”
Archie was satisfied with her answer and hugged her a little tighter. “I have indeed killed people, but those people. . . Are 100% bad people!”
“Oh!” Emma’s heart suddenly became heavy, even though Archie said it casually. But killing people, no matter what, was violent and bloody. It was incompatible with the peaceful world she lived in.
Emma carefully thought about it. She remembered Archie mentioning Uncle Suan before, saying that he was once a very experienced gunner.
Her mood became even heavier. What had Archie experienced before? She really did not know.
She didn’t think about it before because she didn’t know about it.
Now, after she found out about these things, she suddenly wanted to truly understand the man beside her. She wanted to see what the dirty things Yoseph had said were.
How could the man she loved have anything to do with dirty things? What kind of person was he?
Archie felt the little girl in his arms tremble. The light in Archie’s eyes became obscure and hard to predict.
Did she know something?
If she knew about his past, would she dislike him?
