Archie’s words went through Emma’s mind twice. In the end, she decided to pass Archie’s words to her father, Dexon.
No matter why Archie wanted to make a seemingly meaningless request, no matter what, it proved a fact.
She was a very important existence to him.
Thinking of this, Emma’s worries and depression just now were swept away. Her entire heart seemed to have become light.
She pulled out her phone and very quickly answered.
“Emma, have you asked Archie? What did he say? Will he let me go?” Dexon was obviously anxious. As soon as the call connected, he couldn’t wait to know the result.
Emma tightened her voice and said calmly, “I asked him. He said he could agree to it, but he made a request.”
“What request?” Dexon immediately became alert and even asked a question with caution.
He was really frightened by Archie. He was afraid that Archie would think of a new technique to deal with him.
Emma said honestly, “Archie said that as long as you agree to marry me under any circumstances, you can’t reject him. This matter can be discussed. If you don’t agree, he might. . .”
“What?” Dexon obviously did not expect Archie to give him such a big problem.
He had just promised Yoseph that he would be his future son-in-law. Obviously, Yoseph was more sincere than Archie.
Emma did not know that Dexon had his secrets, but she felt happy instead. She smiled and said, “Dad, this condition should not be too difficult. Actually, this was because Archie deliberately let you go. Even if I don’t have this condition, I will only marry him in my life.”
Dexon naturally knew that his little daughter only wanted to marry Archie, but he didn’t have this kind of hope.
Archie had made him suffer so badly this time, he even had to lower his face and beg him to let him go. To the proud Dexon, this was the worst fall he had ever experienced in his life.
Archie was simply too arrogant. He had slapped him in the face and demanded that he marry his daughter to him. This was simply asking for too much.
“Did he really say that?” Dexon’s tone was obviously filled with anger.
Emma was stunned and frowned. “You don’t seem to be willing to agree to this request.”
“Emma, Archie is humiliating me. Don’t you understand?” Dexon was still very angry.
Emma was also a little angry and retorted. “How did he humiliate you? It was clearly you who did something wrong and need his forgiveness. He forgives you was also on my account. Actually, he can also not forgive you.”
“Emma, why did you turn your arm outwards? Who is your family? Archie loves you again. Didn’t he divorce you? You have to know that in this world, Only parents will truly consider their daughter.” Dexon was truly heartbroken. His own daughter. . . Yet, she always spoke up for outsiders. He felt utterly disappointed.
Emma could not refute his words and could only remain silent.
“I don’t understand why you don’t agree to this request. Is there any difficulty?” After a long time, Emma asked him with some resentment.
Dexon sighed. “I will call you back later!”
After saying that, Dexon hung up the phone.
At this moment, Yoseph, who was sitting beside him, had his eyes fixed on Dexon’s phone.
After listening to Dexon speak on the phone, he spoke with a somewhat worried tone. “What’s wrong? Could it be that Archie has made some excessive conditions?”
Dexon looked at Yoseph and nodded heavily. “Yes, Archie has gone too far. He said that as long as I agree to marry Emma to him without any conditions. Only then will he let me go.”
“Damn it!” Yoseph slammed his palm on the table. His handsome face had turned extremely dark. “Archie is simply stepping on you. What does he think of you?”
Dexon also felt unhappy in his heart. He could not vent his anger.
“That’s right. Archie doesn’t respect me at all. In any case, I am his elder. If he wants to marry my daughter, shouldn’t he lower his attitude a little? He even wants to step on me and make me unconditionally obey his request. He really doesn’t respect me at all!” Dexon scolded him fiercely.
Yoseph’s eyes were ruthless. He stared at Dexon. “Uncle, you promised to marry Emma to me just now. You won’t go back on your word, will you?”
Dexon was also helpless. He said with a bitter face, “Yoseph. Of course you are my ideal son-in-law. I wish I could marry Emma to you even in my dreams. However, Archie made such a request. If I don’t agree to it, Once that recording explodes, my political career will be ruined. Not only that, I will also be thrown into jail.”
“He won’t dare to expose himself!” Yoseph said with certainty.
“How do you know he won’t dare? I think Archie has always been ruthless. If he finds any evidence against me, he definitely won’t let me go.” Dexon was a cautious man, and he was also very timid.
“Emma is your daughter. It doesn’t matter if you marry her to him or not. He must respect you. If he really sent you to prison with his own hands, There will never be any happiness between him and Emma. Emma was not a cold-blooded and heartless woman. Perhaps she did not say anything. But in her heart, she must have already regarded you as her father and respected you.” Yoseph analyzed calmly.
Dexon frowned and thought carefully.
“Uncle, why don’t we make a bet?” At this moment, Yoseph was also very worried about Dexon’s attitude.
Dexon looked at Yoseph’s confident eyes and had no idea what to do.
“Uncle, I will make it clear to you today. Emma, I am determined to get it. If you want to give my woman to Archie, I will be in a very difficult situation.” Yoseph saw that Dexon was still thinking, so he took the opportunity to express his attitude.
When Dexon heard this, his face turned pale.
Yoseph said bluntly, “Uncle, I also chose to help you without hesitation because I wanted to marry Emma. In fact, I could totally stay out of it and not choose any position. If you go against the sincerity of our cooperation midway, Then it would be time for us to settle the score with each other.”
“Yoseph, why do you have to make it so serious? Uncle like you. As for Archie, I originally admired him. But he forced me into such a passive position. I hate him so much. How could I want to become a family with him?” Dexon was also helpless. He was about to be exhausted by this incident.
Yoseph sneered. “Uncle, no matter how much you say. . . It can’t be compared to using actions to prove it. No matter what, you can’t agree to Archie’s request.”
Dexon looked at Yoseph’s threatening eyes and felt a little disappointed.
“Yoseph, even you want to force me to do this?” Dexon was in extreme pain.
Yoseph was shocked for a moment, then he quickly put away the cold expression on his face. His tone softened, “I didn’t mean to force you, I was just reminding you. Even if Archie let you go this time, Benny won’t let you go. If Benny becomes the President, it is only a matter of time before you step down. Not only you, but also your party. Politics needs a change of blood, and your old cards. . . Will be replaced by newbies.”
This is a cruel reality, but this is also the truest truth.
Dexon seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. He did not have a trace of anger. He sat on the chair and did not say a word.
“If Benny wants to punish you for your crimes, even without that recording, He can still find more evidence to suppress you, Uncle. Actually, when you decided to compete with Benny, The result was already decided. I just didn’t expect that you would lose.” Yoseph pointed his finger. He knocked on the table in front of him, neither lightly nor heavily, as if reminding him. No matter what, the outcome would never change.
How could Dexon not understand what he meant?
“Alright, Yoseph, I won’t agree to Archie’s request, but aren’t you afraid that Archie will come and take revenge on you?” Dexon had finally thought it through. The price of offending Yoseph was too great, so he chose to offend Archie.
Yoseph shrugged his shoulders. “Archie will not take revenge on me, unless I take Emma away from him.”
“Why are you so sure that Archie won’t take revenge on you?”
“Because I saved his life. His life is worth his forgiveness for all my mistakes.” Yoseph was deeply concerned about that matter.
Dexon was shocked and said, “No wonder you have always been fearless.”
“I am not fearless. I am just thinking of ways to break this destiny. After Benny becomes the president, the entire power of the country will be in great turmoil. However, for now. . . The foundation of Wolfleim Family will not be shaken, but we can’t guarantee the future. For the sake of a woman, I have given my all. Emma, she should have married me. Archie had snatched her away. He was the one who deserved to be punished, Isn’t he?” The more Yoseph spoke, the more excited he became.
Dexon looked at his excited expression and could only calm down. He did not deny it and said, “You are right. Emma was your fiancee to begin with.”
“Uncle, you promised me that you would let us get engaged three months later. Please keep your promise.” Yoseph pressured Dexon.
Dexon could only let him do whatever he wanted. He nodded. “Alright, I will try my best to arrange your engagement.”
“Then I will take my leave first. You can give Archie a good reply later. Uncle, please don’t let me down.” Yoseph stood up and walked out.
Dexon looked at this frivolous and cold man and felt an unspeakable fear in his heart.
