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 speculate on our intentions like that.” His words were firm and clear, completely 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, replaced by a heavy disappointment. She did not want to stay in this place any longer. Emily closed her eyes, looked up at Lucas, and said, “As soon as I get my mother’s necklace, 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.
