Chapter 382

Book:Dearest Wife Published:2024-5-29

In the presidential palace, the smoke of war was rising. Archie keenly noticed the hostile look in Joji’s eyes.
In fact, he already knew that his uncle taking care of him like his own son and had caused his real son, to be extremely dissatisfied.
Archie was not an insensible person. Therefore, many times, he avoided Joji and did not fight with him.
It wasn’t because he was afraid of him, but because he didn’t want his uncle to fight with him for such a small matter.
However, at this moment, Joji’s eyes were still piercing Archie’s body like blades. This inevitably made Archie suspicious.
“Cousin, take it. This is the cherry I bought specially for you. It’s imported. It’s very sweet.” Yunita was totally like a little girl. She was gentle and sweet, like a woman who had fallen in love.
Archie took a look at the cherry and take it with his hand. He praised in a low voice, “It is indeed not bad.”
“Sister, are you trying to be nice to the wrong person? Didn’t cousin already have a woman he loves? The one called Emma.” Joji looked at her and his eyes were about to burst out. Since he was young, he had always been trying to please his sister. It was almost his precious sister’s turn to please other men.
This Archie was simply too much of a bully. Not only had he stolen away the love and concern his father had for him, even his little sister couldn’t wait to please him.
Archie’s expression darkened slightly. Then, he heard Joji laughing in a carefree manner. “Aiya! During the last family banquet, I had met Miss Emma once. She is really beautiful and has a good figure. Her skin was also white, and her small face was even more exquisite like a doll. Cousin, you have such a beautiful girlfriend. You have to be careful if you don’t love her. . . I believe. . . ”
“Cousin, don’t tell me you are interested in my Emma?” A cold voice was a warning and also a threat.
Joji was shocked for some reason. He had only mentioned Emma with a joking tone, but Archie’s voice was full of killing intent.
Joji finally understood that Emma was definitely the person who was the most taboo of being sealed.
A layer of dark clouds covered Yunita’s beautiful face. She glared at her brother with some resentment. He really spoke too much.
The perfectly good atmosphere was completely ruined by him.
At this time, what did he mention about Emma? It was simply too disappointing.
“How could I possibly be interested in your woman? I’m just reminding you since you already have the love, you must not toy with other women anymore.” Joji’s heart was also burning. Even if Archie’s eyes were frightening, he still had to remind him not to play with his sister.
Archie’s eyes swept across Yunita who was beside him. She had already lowered her head and her face was full of slight sadness.
Archie suddenly understood something. He looked at Joji in disbelief.
As if Joji was not afraid that his thoughts would be seen through by him, he stared at Archie provocatively.
Archie’s pretty brows instantly knitted. He was surprised, but also found it hard to accept such a fact.
Yunita calmed herself down and immediately looked up and said, “Alright, brother. Don’t argue with your cousin. I’m afraid he will scold me again when he comes back.”
Archie suddenly stood up. “I suddenly remembered that I still have things to do. I won’t eat tonight’s dinner. I will come back another day.”
“Hey, cousin, don’t go.” Yunita looked anxious. She grabbed Archie’s arm and begged, “Cousin, my father will be back soon. He really wants to see you.”
Joji looked at the two white hands Yunita grabbed on Archie’s body. He was so angry that he really wanted to beat him up.
Archie’s eyes also quickly swept across his face. His eyes had written all of his thoughts on his face.
Archie was shocked. Hopefully, he had thought too much. Otherwise, the biggest scandal of the Henfox Family would happen at home.
His uncle had just taken the position of President not long ago. If such a scandal were to occur, it would cause irreparable consequences for his political career.
Archie’s heart was filled with worry, but he did not know how to resolve this matter.
After all, he was only a nephew in the Henfox Family.
“Yuni, I will go to the office tomorrow to find uncle. I will leave first!” Archie did not have the mood to stay for dinner.
Joji stood up and pulled his sister’s hand back, letting Archie leave immediately.
“Brother, what are you doing? Why didn’t you help me keep my cousin?” Yunita saw that her brother did not help and even pulled her hand back. She immediately glared at him.
“Younger sister, his thoughts are not on you at all. Don’t think too highly of yourself. Be careful that you will be toyed with by him.” Joji was also angry. He used an angry tone that he had never used before to scold Yunita.
Yunita’s eyes stiffened and her beautiful face turned pale. She gritted her teeth angrily. “I like to think too highly of myself. It is none of your business.”
“Yuni, can you not be so despicable? There are many men who are better than Archie. Why do you have to suck up to him and not let him go?” Joji also scolded angrily.
Yunita’s whole body trembled as if she had been slapped. With an embarrassed face, she bit her lips and cried, “Who can compare to Archie? You?”
All of Joji’s words were stuck in his throat. It clogged his throat, causing his face to turn red.
Yunita’s eyes were filled with grief as she looked at the headlights of the car that had left the room. Her eyes were filled with tears. “Brother, you don’t understand. I just like him. In my eyes, I don’t even want to look at other men. Only Archie is my prince charming. He is the prince that I dream of. Only he is worthy of me.”
Joji looked as if he had been struck dumb by a stick, and his whole body froze into a statue.
Archie’s car had already disappeared, and his sister’s gaze was still fixed on the door.
This kind of blow was not just stabbing him in the heart with a knife.
“Even if you love him, will he marry you? Stop dreaming.” Joji’s voice was full of sarcasm and sarcasm.
Yunita looked back in surprise, her eyes were looking at her brother’s face. She could not believe what her brother, who had always loved her, said. “Brother, what’s wrong with you today? Why do you have to attack me everywhere? Don’t you want me to live a happier life? You once said that. As long as I’m happy, you’ll help me with anything, don’t tell me you’re lying to me?”
Joji stared at her. Then, without saying a word, he turned around and walked upstairs quickly.
Yunita shouted behind him, “Brother! Don’t you love me anymore? Don’t you want me to be happy?”
Joji walked even faster and ignored her dissatisfied cries.
Yunita stomped her feet angrily. “You don’t really have to care about me. Hmph, I will never talk to you again.”
Archie sat in the car. The car passed by the sentry posts one by one.
He looked out the window and saw the majestic garden and street lights in the presidential palace. The light from the broken screens in his eyes revealed his thoughts.
He did not intend to discover anything, but at this moment, he could not help but feel worried for the Henfox family.
His uncle was his family, and now, he was also his ally. He could be considered a community of interests. If the Henfox Family caused a scandal, not only would the position of the president be affected, he would also be affected.
With his uncle’s help, his weapon factory had become nationalized. Soon, he would monopolize the manufacturing of machine guns in the entire country. At that time, not only would his uncle be able to secure the position of President, but even the Grafton Family would be a rare power in this country.
