Chapter 39
Chapter 39 His Warmth
Emily looked at William in disbelief, her face full of anger. When those words came out, William’s face
instantly turned pale. If everyone knew about that detail, then it was obvious he was selling his
daughter off!
Nobody would be on his side after knowing he had done something like that. How would the Armstrong
family establish itself in high society again after that? The surrounding people were also in an uproar!
They all looked at William, their hearts filled with suspicion.
Just now, what that elder Miss Armstrong said, could it be true?
Mia and Emma’s faces sank when they heard this.
Mia’s heart beat faster, and her palms were covered in sweat. She almost couldn’t maintain her calm
expression.
Emma and her daughter looked at each other with anxiety.
That was supposed to be a secret.
The media would definitely report on it. And then, the Armstrong family’s reputation would be ruined.
Especially Mia, she was a public figure and it would definitely impact her career. Then, not only would
they talk about her online, but maybe she would lose her job and be banned from TV.
A few clicking shutter sounds rang out, and Mia could not help but worry. In the current situation, she
couldn’t just shoo the media personnel out. She gritted her teeth and stared at Emily with hatred in her
eyes. Emily, how did you end up with the Greens family? Moreover, what was going on with this Mr.
Greens? He was clearly here to attend Mia’s wedding. Yet, he had intervened and caused her family to
lose face! She thought, at that moment, they needed someone to help the Armstrong family out of their
bind.
If the news came out, then she would just have to pay to remove the search results and suppress the
news. Charles was stunned. He turned around and looked at her, his eyes full of inquiry.
She quickly gave him a look. He understood and said naturally to Mason, “Assistant Mason, I think you
and the outside world have some misunderstandings about us. This matter is not what you think it is.
Young master Smith, although he has done some bad things in the past, he has learned his lesson and
changed his ways now. His leg is only injured and he will recover. We really arranged this marriage with
the full intent of securing Emily’s future happiness. You really shouldn’t specte on our intentions like
that.” His words were firm and clear,pletely removing the suspicion from the Armstrong family.
Mason chuckled in disbelief. This young master of the Johnson family was just lying through his teeth.
Doctor Armstrong was lucky she didn’t marry Charles, he was not the person that she had thought he
was. Emma also chimed in, “Yes, you’re acting like we’re intentionally trying to hurt Emily. We are a
family, why would we do something like that?” The whole Armstrong family presented a united front,
quickly assuming the innocent and hurt faces of the victims.
Emily watched all their faces change.
She was so disgusted that she wanted to vomit. She was mentally prepared that the Armstrong family
would not do anything for her out of the goodness of their heart. But she also did not expect that it
would be like this.
If Assistant Mason had not said so, she would not know that William wanted to betroth her to such a
person!
Her eyes were filled with anger, reced by a heavy disappointment. She did not want to stay in this
ce any longer. Emily closed her eyes, looked up at Lucas, and said, “As soon as I get my mother’s
ne, we’ll go back together. Wait for me.” The corners of her mouth curved, and her elegant smile
stunned many people. Her almond eyes were full of love, gentle and sincere. In the eyes of outsiders,
they were like a pair of lovers. Emily was smart, she understood that Lucas was helping her. His
actions made her cold heart feel a little warmer. Being stared at by those beautiful eyes, Lucas’ heart
skipped a beat. He couldn’t help but be stunned, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart.
When he came back to his senses, he nodded and said in a gentle tone, “Alright, I’ll wait for you.” He
answered like a husband, waiting for his wife to return home. She turned around and looked at William.
The warmth in her eyes disappeared, leaving only coldness. She spoke in an indifferent tone as if he
was not her biological father, but a stranger. “I will say it onest time. Give me the ne!” She
stretched out her hand and waited impatiently for William. After today, she would definitely not have
any more contact with the Armstrong family! Lucas stood by, not saying a word. His cold gaze pierced
William, his eyes practically drilling a hole through the man. Lucas had spent many years in the
ruthless business world, and he had be a predator who could kill with one look.
His nce had a stopping power that could awe and silence a man.
William was frightened to the point of trembling. He took the ne out of his chest pocket with
trembling hands, almost unable to hold it steadily. “I’ll give it to you right… right away!” Swallowing his
saliva, his tongue seemed to have been tied, making it difficult for him to even speak aplete
sentence.
How could he dare disobey?
Emily had found such a backer.
Even the Johnson and Armstrong families together would not be able to do anything to her now.
William did not dare look at Lucas, much less speak to him. He respectfully handed the ne to
Emily. Emily grabbed the ne quickly, not wanting to have any physical contact with him.
She no longer paid any attention to William. Lucas raised his eyebrows and handed her a
handkerchief. She took it with a grateful look. She quickly wiped the ne. She did not hide her
disgust for William. She put away the ne and smiled at him. “Let’s go.”
