The bedroom was very quiet. Emma heard her own heartbeat getting faster and faster. Her beautiful eyes were slightly open and the sound of her father begging could still be heard by her ears.
“Emma, father also had no other choice but to ask for your help. I know that you are in a very difficult situation but father really has no other choice.”
“I know that Dad didn’t find you in time and let you suffer outside. Dad let you down, but you have to believe in Dad. Dad will definitely compensate you a hundred times, a thousand times more in the future. Dad won’t let you get hurt again.”
“If Dad really gets caught, Grandma’s condition will worsen. Your grandma’s heart is not very good. Dad has always been worried about her.”
Emma listened to every word he said in a stiff manner. Finally, when she heard the word grandma, her nerves violently hurt.
“Alright, don’t continue talking. I will consider whether I should help you or not. If Archie doesn’t agree, I can’t do anything about it.” Emma interrupted Dexon’s words. Her voice was filled with sadness.
“Emma, you must beg Archie. I believe he will let you go.” Dexon said anxiously.
“Dad, if you know Archie well, you shouldn’t have done what you did today.” Emma hung up the phone after saying that.
After hanging up the phone, her heart was even more confused. Emma walked back and forth in the bedroom. She bit her finger and thought carefully.
Should she participate in this battle or not?
If she called and asked Archie about the recording, Without a doubt, she would break Archie’s heart.
Previously, she had firmly said that she would stand on the most impartial side. She would go up and see their competition.
And now? The sound of slapping faces was really loud and rhythmic.
Emma threw herself onto the soft bed and stared at the ceiling. She closed her eyes and her ears were filled with her father’s fearful and uneasy voice.
He would be caught and thrown into jail. His grandmother’s heart was not good and she would fall ill. His mother would definitely be very sad and uncomfortable.
Her family, this word, had truly entered her life, but it was so heavy.
In the past, she felt that her family only had her grandmother who had passed away. Now, those who were truly blood-related to her were family members that she could not deny.
Emma rolled around on the bed. Her mind was in chaos and her mind was restless.
In the end, she still picked up her phone like a ghost and dialed Archie’s number.
“Hello!” A deep and familiar male voice entered her ears, giving her a fright.
“Emma, why aren’t you saying anything?” In the two seconds that she was silent, the man’s voice sounded again. It was very gentle and full of affection.
Emma did not speak anymore. She was afraid that Archie would be anxious. So she coughed lightly. “Archie, I am here!”
“You’re not taking an afternoon nap at this time. Did you miss me?” The man’s gentleness contained a trace of evil, as if he was deliberately teasing her.
Emma was stunned. At this time, she was not in the mood to respond to his joke. She just bit her lower lip and thought for a while before saying, “Archie, I have something to ask you.”
Seeing that her voice was serious, Archie immediately looked straight at her. “What is it? You ask!”
Emma bit her lower lip even harder, but she did not know how to open her mouth. In the end, she simply said it bluntly. “My father just called me. He said he had a recording in your hands. Is that so?”
After Archie heard it, his expression was a little tense. It seemed like his prediction was right. Dexon would indeed start with Emma.
“Yes, there is indeed such a recording!” Archie answered her in a deep voice. Then, he sneered, “Is Dexon hoping that you can beg me to delete this recording?”
Emma was silent. This was considered tacitly acquiescence.
Archie was also silent on the other side. The two of them were separated by the phone. Their breathing seemed to have become tense.
Emma was afraid of this silence. Her mood was very chaotic, and her beautiful eyes were blinking randomly.
In the end, Emma could not stand this silence and took the initiative to speak. “If. . . If you feel that it is very difficult, just pretend that I did not say anything just now. If I cannot help him, he cannot blame me.”
After Archie heard her words, he gently smiled. The silence just now was also dispersed by him.
“What do you think? Tell me your opinion.” Archie did not have the same cold and ruthless feeling as before. He just asked her with a light tone.
Emma blinked her eyes blankly and bit her lips as she thought. “I don’t have any thoughts. I just feel that if this matter is not too serious, can you. . . Can you let my father go?”
“It’s not too serious?” Archie grabbed her words. “Your father has already hired gunmen to kill people. Can the matter of killing people not be too serious?”
This sentence made Emma speechless.
“Emma, if your father’s plot succeeded, he would be pleased with himself right now, and not be afraid that he would need your help.” Archie sneered sarcastically.
Emma was stunned for a moment and became even more ashamed and speechless.
Archie was right. Her father had only failed. If he succeeded, perhaps he would be holding a celebration banquet right now.
Who could guess a person’s thoughts?
“Archie, I’m sorry. I’ve made things difficult for you. But I really don’t want my father to be imprisoned. Is there no other way?” Emma helplessly begged him. She was also truly afraid.
“Yes. Go and tell Dexon to agree to marry you to me. Since he is my father-in-law, I will give him some face.” There was a hint of coldness in Archie’s tone.
Emma opened her eyes wide in surprise. “Really? Do you think he will agree?”
“He definitely doesn’t have a choice, but I’m afraid the other person won’t agree.” Archie sneered.
“Another person? Who is it?” Emma asked curiously.
Archie did not point it out and only said lightly: “Don’t ask anything. Reply to him like this first. If he agrees to marry you at any time in the future, he will agree to it. We have room for negotiation on this matter. Otherwise, there will be no further discussion.”
Emma really could not understand the meaning of Archie’s words. She could only nod blankly. “Alright. Then I will pass your words to him just like that. It will depend on him to make his own decision.”
“You will not be unhappy about my request, right?” Archie asked evilly with a smile on his thin lips.
Emma also smiled, “Of course I am happy. I also want to marry you.”
“How much do you think?” Archie deliberately asked.
Emma’s heart started to beat faster. She said with a red face, “I really want to, I really want to, I really want to remarry with you right now.”
“Yes, I will reward you when I come back tonight.” After Archie said that, he hung up the phone.
Emma’s small face was pink for a long time.
