Although Emma knew that Archie was going to attack the Quinsley Family, Gustav’s helpless and hopeless words still shocked her.
“Grandpa, do you know why Archie attacked you?” Emma calmed her mind and asked him.
Gustav was silent for a few seconds, then he replied with a heavy tone, “I know. The Quinsley Family once caused a great loss to the Grafton Family. Although this is a grudge between the two generations, it is only a matter of time before the score is settled. But I didn’t expect that the Quinsley Family would be compensated by me.”
“Grandfather, since you know that the Quinsley Family owes the Grafton Family, you wanted to marry Emily to Archie in order to stabilize the relationship between the two families, right?” Emma’s tone was cold when she mentioned that she was forced to marry Archie.
Gustav said in shame, “Yes, Emma. Grandfather hopes that both you and Emily can help the Quinsley Family get through this crisis. That’s why grandfather. . . Emma, grandfather knows that he was wrong. I didn’t care about your feelings and pushed you to Archie. Grandfather is senile. Do you hate him?”
Emma had always felt wronged and resentful in her heart. When she heard that her grandfather had finally admitted his mistake, she bit her lips. “I have hated you before, but you have always been kind to me.”
“Emma, grandfather was wrong. Grandfather has let you down, but please, for the sake of our grandfather and granddaughter, help grandfather once. Grandfather really has no other choice.” Gustav’s tone was full of despair and sadness.
Emma suppressed her tone and said, “I will help you ask Archie. Wait for me to call you back.”
“Thank you, Emma. Thank you so much!” Gustav was very grateful to her for agreeing to help.
Emma hung up the phone and let go of the tightly bitten lip. She turned around and walked towards the living room.
It was now past five o’clock in the afternoon. If Archie did not entertain at night, he would go home after six o’clock.
Although she did not want to interfere in the matters of Quinsley Family, However, when she thought about her grandmother’s care and love for her in the past, she couldn’t be cruel and heartless. She just stood there and watched.
She would just treat it as returning all the kindness she owed to the Quinsley Family. At any rate, her grandfather shouldn’t be burdened with a huge debt because of this matter, and even his life would be a problem.
Around six o’clock, Archie’s motorcade appeared at the entrance of the Grafton Family’s main hall.
Emma sat on the sofa. When she saw the black car parked outside the door, she immediately stood up and walked outside.
The back door of the middle car was opened and Archie’s elegant figure appeared in front of Emma.
He saw Emma standing in a daze at the door. His brows relaxed slightly and his thin lips curled into a smile. His voice was charming. “You are becoming more and more considerate and sensible with your husband?”
Emma was praised by him and her small face turned slightly red.
“Archie, I have something to tell you. Let’s go upstairs and talk.” Emma ignored the gazes of the bodyguards and servants around her and went straight up. She held Archie’s big hand and took the initiative to drag him upstairs.
Archie let her drag him as she pleased. His tall and big body lazily followed her upstairs.
Emma directly pulled him into the bedroom. The bedroom door was gently closed by her small hand.
When she turned around, strong body suddenly pressed down.
He pressed her against the wall of the door and placed one hand behind her ear. The other hand gently and lovingly combed her long hair that hung down her cheek. “Emma, you took the initiative to get up. You really are a seductive little demoness.”
Emma was slightly startled.
Did Archie misunderstand something?
She took the initiative not because she had any improper thoughts about him, but because. . .
Emma slightly opened the pink lip and it instantly became a delicacy in his thin lips.
Emma’s two small hands were forced to be raised above her head. The man’s fingers were somewhat overbearing as he held her chin. Instantly, her brain went blank as she breathed heavily.
“Wait. . . Stop, Archie, I really have something important to ask you.”
Emma panted and tried hard to pull back her reason.
“What is it? No matter how important it is, you should wait for me to be satisfied before you can say it!” Archie answered emotionally. His breath was rough and his voice was hoarse.
“No, this is very important. It is about my grandfather. . . ”
When Archie heard her mention the word ‘grandfather’, he stopped all his movements. His eyes, which were secretive, locked onto her panic-stricken face.
Emma’s beautiful eyes also widened slightly. When her eyes met his unfathomable and dark eyes, her heart slightly skipped a beat.
“Your grandfather asked you for help?” Archie’s voice was instantly filled with displeasure.
Emma had no choice but to confess honestly, “Yes, my grandfather called me this afternoon and said that Quinsley Family went bankrupt. He owed a lot of loans to the bank but did not pay them back. . . ”
Archie took back the large palm that was placed beside her ear, turned around and walked towards the balcony.
Emma saw his sudden change in attitude and panicked in her heart. She asked for favors, did Archie get angry?
When Emma nervously followed him out of the balcony, she heard a popping sound. The fire lit up and the smell of smoke dispersed.
Emma stood beside him in a daze and did not know what to do.
Actually, she was not used to begging him. She felt that they should be more innocent in love and not let other things wash away this relationship.
But reality was so helpless. She could not wholeheartedly devote herself to love. There were many other things that troubled her.
“Do you want to hear the truth?” The man’s deep voice rang.
Emma nodded her little head. “Yes!”
“My original idea was to let Gustav go to jail until he dies!” Archie’s voice was so cold that there was not a trace of warmth in it.
Emma’s whole body froze, and a chill came from her back.
She looked at the cold and slender figure in the twilight and felt as if she had seen Archie for the first time. It was a feeling that made people feel uneasy and afraid.
“I want the Quinsley Family to disappear completely. I want them to use their blood to pay back the debt they owe the Grafton Family.” Archie turned his head. His gloomy eyes were filled with coldness and ruthlessness.
Emma could not help but clench her hands tightly.
“But fate is such a wonderful thing. When I was planning to attack the Quinsley Family. . . I fell in love with you!” Archie held the cigarette between his fingers and turned around. He leaned lazily against the railing, his eyes flashing. She was stunned. “I fell in love with Gustav’s granddaughter. To me. . . What a joke.”
Emma trembled again. Her beautiful eyes were filled with panic. Her pink lips trembled slightly but she did not know what to say.
Archie continued to focus on her. He saw her uneasiness and panic in his eyes.
“Emma, it turns out that there is a price for me to love you.” He walked towards her step by step. His voice was full of self-mockery. “The price is that I must give Quisnley Family a way out.”
