Chapter 84 This Price They Had to Pay
Emily was moved. All these years, it was Vivian who had been helping them, not caring about anything in return. She held Vivian’s hand, her eyes a little moist. To be able to get such a good sister, her life was worth it. Later, Vivian said goodbye to them and left. At night, Lucy felt a little uncomfortable.
The old woman was frightened, and her mood was sad, causing her heart to palpitate. She held her chest, gasping for breath, and breathing hard. Emily supported her, her face full of anxiety and helplessness. They came out in a hurry and did not bring Lucy’s medicine with them. She had to take that medicine for her illness, otherwise it would not be able to be alleviated. Lucy struggled to stay awake and said to her with difficulty, “Emily, … am fine! You do not have to worry about me.” She was gasping for breath and still did not want her granddaughter to worry. She knew that this was an old illness and it was easy to make mistakes if she was in a bad mood. Eating medicine would quickly alleviate her condition. If she did not take medicine, her life would not be in danger. It was just a stuffy feeling and palpitation. Emily was so anxious that her palms were sweating. She left behind a sentence, “Wait for me.” With that, she ran out and headed straight for the pharmacy.
She ran downstairs and unexpectedly met Lucas.
When Lucas saw her, he was also surprised. “Doctor Armstrong, why are you here?” Tonight, he was here to participate in a dinner party, he hadn’t expected to meet her again. He remembered that she did not live in this area.
Emily’s expression was very bad, but she still told him, “Something happened at my house. I live here today.” Hearing this, Lucas frowned and asked, “What happened?”

Emily answered truthfully, “Today, my family and I went out. Then, my house was broken in and smashed. The lock was broken and everything was ruined. There was
no way to live there now, but there was nothing missing. It was not a theft.”
She wanted to go to the pharmacy first, but she guessed that her grandmother was still well. Moreover, he might be able to help in this matter, so she went on.
After hearing this, Lucas frowned. It was obvious that something was wrong. “What do you think? No matter how old the community is, there is still a basic security system. It is impossible to let people break in so easily. Is it Charles Johnson again?” They obviously were on the same page. Emily nodded and replied, “I think so too, but I don’t have evidence.”
She sighed and looked at him worriedly. Lucas thought about it and decided to tell her. “To tell you the truth, Charles Johnson came to me yesterday. He wanted to cooperate with me and provide me with the convenience of work. He asked me to let Mia go.”
Some things were classified by the company, so he could not tell them too much in detail.
Emily was a little surprised and looked at him. “What about you? Did you promise him?”
Lucas told her straightforwardly, “I did have the intention to sign an agreement with him.”
After all, it would be a waste not to make such a big profit. When Emily heard this, a struggle flashed through her eyes. She bit her lips and said with some difficulty, “Can I ask you something? As long as you promise me, I will not charge you for the follow-up treatment.” Lucas was stunned. He nodded and said in a low voice, “Just say it.” Emily looked away and her face turned cold. “Although I don’t have any evidence, it is very likely that they did it. I want to use this chance to take back some things that originally belonged to me from Armstrong family.” She clenched her fists and opened her scar. “Back then, Armstrong family used my scandal to drive me out. After my mother died, they took the shares under my mother’s name and secretly changed the ownership. Now, I want all of them to spit it out, including the real estate.” Her gaze suddenly became sharp. Lucas narrowed his eyes and looked at her with interest. “So, what do you want to do?”
