After Emma chose to stay, Archie did not say anything. He only instructed her to take care of her and left first.
After Minlan angered Archie and left, she pulled her daughter’s hand and asked, “Emma, why are you so close to Archie? Did he say something to you?”
“Mom, I was Archie’s girlfriend before, right?” Emma had learned a lot about the truth through her phone. Her relationship with Archie must be very good. Otherwise, the two of them would not have gone shopping intimately on the day of the car accident.
Minlan was shocked for a moment, but she quickly said in an unhappy tone, “You two were indeed dating before, but Mom actually did not agree to let you two be together. Grafton Family is not good to you. Furthermore, the marriage between you and Archie did not come from your wish. It was Archie who forced you to marry him.”
Emma hadn’t heard Archie mention these things before, but when she heard what Minlan said, she was shocked.
“How is that possible? I marry Archie. Isn’t it because we love each other?” Emma asked in shock.
Minlan sneered and said sarcastically, “How could Archie really want to marry you? He just wants to borrow you to humiliate Quinsley Family. Emma, mom didn’t mean to hurt you with these words. Many people have witnessed your marriage at the scene. At that time, the person Archie wanted to marry was your cousin, Emily. However, on the day of the wedding, Archie played a segment about you all. I was ashamed to say it. Emma, Archie was a devil. You have to leave him as soon as possible.”
Her mother’s words were like a huge rock pressing down on Emma’s chest, causing her breathing to stagnate.
“Mom, is what you said true?” Emma was very shocked and could not believe that Archie, who took care of her so gently, would actually marry her like this.
Minlan only wanted to persuade Emma. Hence, in terms of words, it was inevitable to add fuel to the fire.
“Emma, my poor daughter. At that time, mother had not found you, but just hearing about this matter. . . I am extremely angry. Whose daughter can be bullied like this? Archie thought that he had the power and influence to marry you at the last minute at his wedding with Emily. Without any relationship foundation, what’s the difference between this and a hooligan?” Minlan cried as she cried. She started to scold him indignantly.
Emma’s heart was in pain. She could not believe that her relationship with Archie was due to Emily’s wedding.
This was too melodramatic.
“Mom, don’t say anymore. I will go and find out about this matter.” Emma didn’t want to and didn’t dare to continue listening, because in these ten days of being together, Archie had already occupied a very important position in her heart.
Furthermore, she believed that the photos in her phone wouldn’t lie to her. Also, the communication between them on the phone was filled with warmth and affection.
Therefore, she chose not to believe in anyone’s words, even if it was her mother’s.
Minlan wiped her tears and nodded, “Okay, Emma, you must ask him clearly. Don’t be deceived by his appearance. Don’t think that he is handsome and that his moral character is noble. Many of them are hypocritical hypocrites.”
“Mom, your health is not good. Don’t be too angry. Let me pour you a cup of water.” Emma was worried about her mother’s body and turned around to pour her a cup of warm water.
Minlan took it and said with mixed emotions, “Emma, it is really great that you can return to my side. Right now, only you are left of mom.”
“Mom, Archie said that I still have an elder sister. Furthermore, she was imprisoned because she did something that was against the heaven and reason.” She wanted to test her mother.
Minlan’s expression instantly froze and a trace of grief flashed across her face. She nodded her head in pain, “Yes. Your sister was spoiled by us so she did not know the severity of the matter and did something that hurt you. Emma, your sister also lost her rationality because she was jealous that you and Archie were together. You must not blame her.”
Emma raised her head and looked straight into her mother’s sad eyes. “Mom, although I have forgotten how elder sister persecuted me now. But if someone had really hurt me. . . I don’t care who is to me, I won’t easily forgive her.”
Minlan knew that Emma had a kind of stubbornness in her bones. Before she lost her memory, she also had this kind of attitude. Now, her attitude was still unyielding.
“En, mom is also very disappointed with your sister. Emma, your sister has been sentenced to death. Ten years, she will be locked up in prison. I only have the two of you. Can you stay by my side for the rest of your life? Mom will be very lonely.” Minlan sadly grabbed Emma’s hand, pitiful and aggrieved.
Emma’s heart was inexplicably hurt by her mother. She looked at her mother and bit her lips as she nodded. “Okay, I will stay by your side. Quickly recover your body now.”
“Mmm, as long as you’re willing to return to Mommy’s side, Mommy will be happy.” Minlan heaved a sigh of relief. Pretending to be pitiful and pretending to be wronged was indeed the most effective method.
She also could not force herself.
She only hoped that her daughter would not blame her.
Archie left the hospital with a gloomy expression and went to the company for a meeting.
During the time he was taking care of Emma in X Country, the company was handed over to James to manage. James did not let him down and took care of the various matters of the company in an orderly manner.
Many urgent documents were still waiting for Archie to make a decision. Therefore, after returning to the country, he would be even busier.
The company meeting ended at seven o’clock. Archie hurriedly made a trip to the presidential palace.
Yunita heard that Archie was coming and took a bath early in the morning. She changed into an elegant and charming long dress and sat in the living room to wait.
Joji stood by the railing on the second floor, holding a cigarette in his hand. He saw all of his sister’s actions.
Her undisguised happiness made Joji fiercely smoke two mouthfuls of smoke.
Yunita heard the sound of the car outside the door. She deliberately stretched out her hand and pulled at her V-collar, which was already low enough.
Joji, who was standing at a high place, had two balls of fire in his eyes. His smoking movements became even more agitated.
Yunita had no idea that her brother was standing by the railing on the second floor. Furthermore, he was peeking at her actions.
When she pulled open her collar, Joji, who was looking down from above, completely saw the snow-white scenery in front of his eyes.
He felt his throat tighten, and his Adam’s apple rolled.
The sound of the car outside the door went out, and Yunita went out like a happy little bird.
“Cousin. . . ” Her voice was sweet. It was not as serious as when she was at work. It carried a sense of aloofness.
Just as Archie bent down and got out of the car, he caught a whiff of a greasy fragrance. Then, he saw a snow-white figure standing in front of him.
“Yuni, you are home too!” Archie only glanced at her lightly and then asked, “Where is uncle?”
“My father is not back yet. He asked me to wait for you at home first. He will be back soon.” Yunita was very happy when she received the call from her father. She went home early to wait for him.
“Yes!” Archie walked to the living room with heavy steps.
Yunita followed him gently and instructed the servants, “Go and make a pot of tea for my cousin and the fruits that I just bought. Quickly wash them and bring them out.”
Archie sat down on the sofa and heard a gloomy voice coming from the stairs. “Cousin, I heard that something happened to you in X Country recently. Your injuries aren’t serious, right?”
Archie’s eyes slightly narrowed. He stood up politely and greeted him. “Thank you for your concern, cousin. I’m fine.”
Yunita was so anxious that her face turned pale. She immediately grabbed Archie’s big hand and anxiously said, “Cousin, quickly let me take a good look. I also heard that you had an accident, but I have never been able to contact you. I called you, but you did not answer. I almost flew over to see you.”
Archie unnoticeably pulled his hand back from her hand. He said faintly. “I only suffered a few superficial wounds. I have fully recovered. Thank you for your concern.”
Yunita, however, was still worried. She kept looking at Archie’s body.
Joji, who was beside her, felt a lump of resentment accumulating in his heart.
He was lucky that Archie did not get hurt in the car accident this time.
If he really dared to touch his sister, he definitely wouldn’t let him have a second chance.
