Chapter 41 Hold on to Her Achilles Heel Mr. Smith’s words were like a slap that landed heavily on Armstrong family’s face. William indeed sold
his daughter! Emma, Mia, and even Charles Johnson would probably not be able to get away with it.
As the crowd discussed animatedly, Emma simply got off the stage. William stood where he was, his
face ashen. Today’s matter had pushed him to the edge of the storm.
Mia’s face was green, and the Johnson family’s expression was also not good.
She and Charles Johnson looked at each other and sighed. The dinner party ended just like that. The
news of the Armstrong family had already spread outside. Armstrong family and Johnson family had
already gone crazy from all the work and were still on the phone in the middle of the night. According to
the list, the first thing they did was to deal with the scene and all the media.
“Charles, thank you for working so hard for our Mia. No matter what, tonight’s matter can not be spread
out. Otherwise, Mia’s reputation will be ruined!” Emma thanked Charles Johnson. She was very
anxious. Charles Johnson sighed and said politely, “Mom, things have come to this. We can only do
our best.”
Mia sat on the sofa, her eyes swollen from crying. Henry and Beth walked into the room and blamed,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong, why did you make such a big fuss tonight? We have lost all our face and
offended Mr. Greens.” Henry sat heavily on the bed, very angry. “The wedding is ruined!”
Originally, he wanted to take the opportunity to win over the favor, but in the end, he messed it up.
William had no choice but to apologize, “I’m really sorry. We also didn’t expect it to be like this.” The
Armstrong family implicated the Johnson family. In fact, he also couldn’t figure out how Emily, an
abandoned daughter, could climb up to the Greens family
On the other side, Emily had been silent since she was taken out of the banquet hall. Only when she
got into Lucas’ car did she open her mouth to thank him. “Mr. Greens, thank you for helping me out just
now.” Otherwise, she was afraid that she would be tied up and sent to the Smith family. “It’s my
pleasure. You are my doctor. Of couse, I should help you.” Lucas said in a clear voice.
In fact, he was not sure why he was so anxious to help her when he saw her in trouble.
Probably, because he still needed her to treat his illness?
Lucas suppressed the emotions in his heart and continued to drive. Emily smiled and chatted with him,
“This is not a small favor. From what you said, you seem to know the Armstrong family very well. Have
you investigated me long ago?” She was not surprised at all. People like Lucas were always cautious.
She was really happy that Lucas knew about her, did not humiliate her, and even helped her.
Therefore, she was not angry at all.
Lucas did not speak, but Mason jumped in.
He admitted, “Doctor Armstrong, don’t blame the young master. He doesn’t know about this matter. It
was me who made the decision. I have to be wary of anyone who wants to get close to him. After all,
the young master has just been injured. I hope you can understand. If you want to blame someone,
blame me.” His words completely saved Lucas. As smart as he was, he could already see that the
young master treated Doctor Armstrong differently. So he chose to be the bad guy for him. “Then
tonight’s wedding…” Emily hesitated. So they came for her? Mason explained, “What happened tonight
was purely an accident. Greens family was indeed invited to attend the wedding banquet. It’s just that I
didn’t expect that I would meet you there.” Emily was a little disappointed. She nodded, raised her
eyebrows, and asked him, “How do you know that Smith family’s young master is a good-for-nothing?”
“Before, I heard about it by chance, and only then did I know about Smith family.” Mason replied.
In her heart, there was an inexplicable discomfort.
But on second thought, what he said seemed to be reasonable. She nodded in understanding and did
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnot say anything else. Now that she had left that place, a sense of exhaustion welled up in her heart.
She yawned, both physically and mentally exhausted. Tonight, the emotional impact she suffered was
too great.
It was not that easy to recover. She sighed and leaned back in her chair to rest. Her heart was in
turmoil and she could not fall asleep, so she simply stared out the window in a daze. The speeding
scenery gradually calmed her heart. Through the rearview mirror, Lucas saw her and the necklace in
her hand. He thought about it and asked hesitantly, “Is this really your mother’s relic?” Did he mean that
she had been deceived by William? He casually took a necklace and lured her to the hook. But if it
really was the case, it seemed a little offensive to ask this. Emily was stunned. She looked at the thing
in her hand and nodded. It was a heart-shaped necklace, symbolizing love. She looked out the window
faintly and said, “If not for this, I wouldn’t have come.” Lucas did not speak. He should have expected
this. After a long time, he chuckled and his voice dissipated in the wind. “They have grasped your
Achilles’ heel very accurately.” Her mother was her Achilles’ heel.
