Emma dragged her tired body back home. It was already past eleven o’clock at night.
Minlan sat on the sofa and did not sleep. She was so anxious that her face turned pale.
“Emma, where did you go? You came back so late. Do you know how worried I was about you?” Minlan was so anxious that she almost went crazy.
Emma felt guilty and did not dare to look into her mother’s eyes. She could only lower her head.
“You drank?” Minlan frowned.
Emma was stunned and instantly nodded. “Yes, I drank some wine.”
“Emma, what do you want me to say about you? You are not the daughter of an ordinary family. Did you go to the bar alone to get drunk? How dangerous is that? You’re a single girl. If you meet a bad person, you’ll lose your life.” Minlan only thought that she was suffering from the pain of losing love, so she wanted to use alcohol to relieve her worries.
“Mom, didn’t I come back safe and sound? Alright. I’ll stop talking. I’m going upstairs to sleep. I’m so sleepy.” Emma did not want to listen to her mother’s nagging. She just wanted to quickly take a shower and lie on the bed to have a good sleep.
Minlan sighed, “Wait a minute. How was the discussion with Archie today?”
“The discussion was not very good. Otherwise, I would not drink.” Emma replied softly with a sad look on her face.
Minlan was secretly surprised. She wanted this kind of result.
“Alright, don’t ever see him again in the future. I guess you guys didn’t have a good chat either.” Minlan’s tone was a little better now.
Emma only acknowledged and quickly went upstairs.
Late at night!
Within the Manor House of Grafton Family.
Steward Uncle Suan had been very busy recently. He had no time to manage a lot of things in the manor, so he had promoted another deputy steward to help manage it.
He had been accompanying Yenny to receive treatment. Seeing that her hands were full of needles, his heart ached. He wished that he could take the blame for her.
Yenny actively cooperated with the treatment. At present, the effect was still considered very good.
Archie arranged for them to meet the most authoritative doctor and also got the best treatment plan.
“Young master, you are back!” Uncle Suan went forward and asked with concern.
Archie’s face was gloomy, and he faintly nodded.
“Young master, Miss Yunita came over nine o’clock, in the living room. . . ”
“What is she doing here? Ask her to get lost!” Archie’s tone instantly became furious, and his voice became extremely ruthless.
“Cousin. . . ” Yunita had already run out with quick steps, and her eyes were already red and swollen from crying.
She rushed over and knelt in front of Archie without saying anything. She apologized with tears falling like rain, “Cousin, I really know my mistake. Please forgive me. I won’t do it again.”
Archie looked down at her with a cold expression. “Yunita, I really underestimated you. You still have the courage and ability to drug me?”
“No, no, no, cousin. You must have misunderstood my intentions. I. . . I love you. I truly fell in love with you, and I was blinded by love. That’s why I’m stupid enough to think that if I sleep with you once, you’ll fall in love with me. . . Now I know that I was wrong. I was too naive. Not only did it hurt our relationship, it also made Emma suffer. . . “Yunita said incoherently. She even confessed and her tears fell like rain. She looked like she was truly repenting.
“Do you know how much damage Emma suffered? You solved it with just a few words of apology?” Archie slightly leaned over and coldly stared at her, mocking her.
“I know I made a big mistake this time. Cousin, please give me a chance to turn over a new leaf. I beg you, please don’t tell my father that he will beat me to death.” Yunita was afraid and afraid because she knew her adoptive father Benny’s personality.
Although he was usually gentle and doted on her, Archie was also a very important family member to him. If he knew that she had used such a dirty method to hurt Archie, he was afraid that her father would drive her out of the house in a fit of anger. At that time, she was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to protect her current identity.
“Are you afraid now? When you drugged me, did you think that you would have such an embarrassing outcome?” Archie did not pity her at all, and only coldly questioned her.
“Cousin, scold me. No matter how you scold me, I will not have any complaints, even if you hit me. . . ”
“I don’t care about hitting women, get lost! Don’t let me see you again.” Archie was completely enraged today.
Yunita was so scared that her whole body shivered. She didn’t expect Archie to be so terrifying when he was angry.
She had always thought that no matter what she did wrong, Archie would still gently forgive her.
She was wrong, very wrong. Emma was Archie’s bottom line, a taboo. Anyone who stepped on his bottom line and touched his taboo would be sentenced to death.
“Cousin, can’t you pity me? I love you so much. I did all of this. It’s all because I love you.” Yunita cried even more sadly. She felt wronged and uncomfortable.
“Do you know what shame is? What is our relationship? What right do you have to love me?” Archie, on the other hand, struck her ruthlessly.
Yunita’s body stiffened, and she lowered her head while trembling.
“Cousin, you mean my identity is not good enough for you?”
“If you continue to be so despicable, I’m afraid that I won’t even be willing to be your family anymore.” Archie sneered and strode into the living room.
“I don’t want to be your family, and I don’t want to be your cousin, Archie. How can I not be as good as Emma? I won’t lose to her in any way. Why are you so cruel to me?” Yunita shouted crazily and was very unwilling to accept it.
Archie ignored her and went straight upstairs.
Uncle Suan walked over and calmly advised, “Miss Yunita, you’d better go back. Young master is not in a good mood. Don’t provoke him anymore.”
“No, I won’t leave. I don’t want to go anywhere. I will kneel here. Until he forgives me.” Yunita said stubbornly.
“Miss Yunita, if you continue to kneel like this, the result will not change. Young master only loves Miss Emma in his heart. Don’t force him. With your condition, you will definitely find a better man.” Uncle Suan still patiently advised her.
“You don’t understand. You don’t understand how much I love him. I am willing to die for him.” After Yunita finished speaking, she suddenly stood up and slammed into a pillar beside her.
Of course, she did not use her full strength. She only used a very small amount of strength, so she only knocked her head out to bleed.
“Miss Yunita, why do you need to do that?” Uncle Suan looked at her in a new light.
“Cousin. . . Cousin. . . Archie. . . ” Yunita murmured in a daze.
Uncle Suan turned around and went upstairs to ask Archie for instructions. He said that Yunita had hit a pillar and her head was injured.
Archie only said coldly, “Send her to the hospital and ignore her.”
Yunita knew that if she wasn’t punished, Archie wouldn’t let her go so easily.
He was like an emperor, she couldn’t touch anything that belonged to him.
Only then would she smash her heart into a pillar by the side. Blood flowed down her forehead. She only felt that her brain was dizzy from all the disasters.
Later on, she fell unconscious, and the person Uncle Suan arranged for her was sent to the hospital.
When she woke up, she had a syringe in her hand, and there was no one in the room.
She only felt that her entire body was very cold, so cold that she was trembling.
She touched her head. There was already a circle of gauze wrapped around her head. She could faintly feel the pain.
Yunita curled up her body and tears of unwillingness and resentment rolled down.
