Chapter 38 She Is Someone Important to Me Henry was obviously very embarrassed, but he did not dare to show it at all. He only retracted his hand, his tone still respectful. “Mr. Greens, you are a little late. However, I have reserved a seat for you. If you don’t mind, please take a seat.” He bent down, held out his hand, and led Lucas to the guest seats. He played the host to try and ease the awkward mood. He thought that Mr. Greens would not remain standing there. Unexpectedly, Lucas opened his mouth. His voice was very pleasant, like the ringing of jade. “There’s no need. I’m not here to attend the wedding. I’m just here to pick someone up. Although I hadn’t expected to see such a scene, all of you ganging up on one person. What a show.” Everyone was stunned. Before they could react, they saw him slowly look at Emily. He walked up to her, his mouth curved into a smile. Emily was also stunned. She didn’t expect it to go this way. Just as she was in a daze, she heard him say, “Didn’t you say that I should come directly to you as soon as I got back? What are you doing here? You made me come all this way personally just to pick you up.” His voice was thoroughly gentle and sweet. His eyes were deep and affectionate as he stared at her. Lucas raised his hand and tucked a lick of Emily’s messy hair behind her ear. His movements were light and graceful, like a gentleman. They were so close that she could feel his breathing. She smelled the fragrance on his body and it refreshed her heart. Their breathing mixed together, and the atmosphere was so good that the air tasted sweet. She was stunned, and her heart beat faster. Why was he suddenly acting like this towards her?
Everyone was stunned. Looking at Mr. Greens’ actions, it was clear that he had a deep and complicated relationship with Emily! “Oh my god, does the elder miss of the Armstrong family have some kind of magic potion? First, the young master of the Johnson family, Charles, had feelings for her. Then Young Master Smith wanted to marry her. Now, even Mr. Greens is in love with her?” In the crowd, people
sighed and stared. A rich young lady looked at Emily’s beautiful face with a sour expression. “As expected, beauty is everything.” The faces of the Johnson and Armstrong families changed dramatically. “Emily? When did she get to know Mr. Greens?” Mia was even more astonished. She stared at Er he could not accept it! She was supposed to be the main character, the center of attention tonight! It was supposed to be the night of Emily’s downfall, her humiliation! But what on earth was going on right now? She was indignant. She bit her lip and looked at Charles. Charles also frowned. The current situation was very unfavorable for them. The Johnson Group had had a very good few years. This had barely brought them into the upper class. However, they was still far from being a really rich and powerful family. He originally wanted to use tonight’s opportunity to build a relationship with Mr. Greens and officially enter those ranks! But the current development was too strange. Watching Mr. Greens and Emily look at each other affectionately, he had a bad feeling. He immediately asked, “Mr. Greens and… Emily, you know each other?” After saying it out loud, he realized that it was an incredibly awkward thing to have done. He should not have said that. What right did he have to ask that question? The rumors of what happened back then were already wild and all over the place. If he said this, wouldn’t it seem as if he was still obsessed with Emily? Mia was a little hurt as she turned to look at Charles. She clenched her fists. After six years, did he still have feelings for Emily? She glared at Emily hatefully. Emily must have had some special tactics, to be able to get close to Mr. Greens. And that slut was trying to take her husband away now too? No way.
Mia swore in her heart that sooner or later, she was going to finish Emily off. Lucas ignored Charles and did not even look at him. Everyone stared at Charles. He was in a very awkward situation. Mason coughed and took a step forward, answering on behalf of Lucas. “Ms. Armstrong is familiar to our President. She is a very important person in his life.” These words were ambiguous and invited all sorts of speculation. Everyone was shocked. So Emily and Mr. Greens were indeed a couple. No wonder she was unwilling to marry young Master Smith. Mr. Greens was at least ten million times better than that young Master Smith. Charles’ face turned pale. He opened his mouth but did not say anything. Mia took in his reaction. Mason glanced at everyone and continued, “I didn’t expect that Emily would come here and be made fun of like this by you lot!” Everyone was silent and did not dare to speak. If they offended Mr. Greens, they would not be able to gain a foothold in the business world again. Then, Mason looked at William with cold eyes and said, “You are Mr. Armstrong, right?” William braced himself and replied, “Yes, Assistant Mason. What can I do for you?” Mason was Lucas’ assistant and had followed him for many years. As long as anybody knew Lucas, they would know Mason. Mason sneered and said, “Ms. Armstrong, Emily is after all your first born daughter from your first wife. You dismissed her and threw her out of your family. And now you are so cruel as to try and marry her into the Smith family? Don’t you know that their son is not only an infamous playboy, but also a cripple? You would be destroying your daughter’s future by forcing her to do that.” He paused and looked at William with disdain. “I have never seen such a father in my life.” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
