Her Twin Pregnancy Turned The CEO Into A Wife Aholic

Chapter 29

Chapter 29 It Should Be Settled The corners of William’s mouth curled up into a smile. He spoke unhurriedly, “Your mother is dead. Her necklace is still with me. It was her dowry back then.” Emily was suspicious. There must be something wrong with him suddenly asking her to go back. Was this necklace a lie? “Why should I believe you?” She frowned and asked, clenching her phone. “If you don’t believe me, you can go and ask your grandmother. She will give you the answer. I will send you the wedding invitation.” William’s expression was sinister, and his eyes flashed with victory. Emily hung up the phone and ran to Lucy’s bedroom. Lucy was humming a song and patching some clothes. “Grandmother, I want to ask you something.” Emily pushed open the door and got straight to the point. Lucy stopped what she was doing and looked at her. “Emily, ask away.” Emily’s expression was serious as if it were something very important. “William said that my mother’s dowry, a necklace, is with him. He told me to go get it. Is there such a necklace?” Lucy nodded. “There is indeed such a dowry. When I was young, your grandfather gave it to me. Later, when your mother got married, I gave it to her.” When she said this, she looked a little nostalgic. “When did he ask you to go get it?” Emily clenched her fists. “Next Wednesday, the day of Mia and Charles’ wedding.” Lucy thought for a moment and said cautiously, “I’m afraid this matter is not that simple. When Evelyn died, your father did not give you this necklace, but he’s asking you to go get it now so you will go to the wedding. I’m afraid that it’s some kind of trap. You better not go.” At the wedding, Emily would probably be humiliated. Emily shook her head. “It’s okay. I’ll go get the necklace and leave. I’ll be careful not to let others see me. I’ll be in and out quickly, they won’t have a chance to get me.” This necklace was the only relic left by her mother.

It was very important to her and her grandmother. She had to get it back. Lucy looked at her worriedly. “Why don’t we just forget about it?” The necklace was important, but a living person was more important. She didn’t want Emily and the Armstrong family to have any further contact. Emily said firmly, “I have made up my mind. Grandmother, I’ll be okay.” Lucy had no choice but to give up and helplessly reminded her, “Then be careful.” Emily nodded with a calm expression. However, her heart

was not as relaxed as she thought. On the day of the wedding, she still had to watch Charles marry someone else. They had been childhood friends. She’d never imagined that he would betray her like this. Yet, he’d turned and abandoned her without a second word and gotten engaged to her step-sister. Emily couldn’t forget or forgive it. Alright, it had been six years. It was time to settle things once and for all! In the blink of an eye, a week passed. During this period of time, Emily had been spending all her time in the medicine garden, relaxing her mood. She got a call, and the caller ID showed that it was Mr. Hawking. “Ms. Armstrong, for a stomach ache, what acupuncture points should I target?” She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. During this period of time, Mr. Hawking called her many times and asked her about acupuncture points. “Three inches below the neck, two inches below the navel.” She replied helplessly. Mr. Hawking continued to dig deeper, “How can these acupuncture points cure stomach pain? What acupuncture points are they?” “I don’t know either. That’s what Master taught me.” She had given herself away and let Mr. Hawking know that she knew ancient medical skills. He kept asking questions. It seemed that he wanted to know more about ancient medical skills. She could only selectively answer a few here and there. Mr. Hawking changed the topic. “Ms. Armstrong, how did you cultivate those rare medicinal herbs?” She rolled her eyes. “According to the cultivation method of ordinary medicinal herbs.” “What is the medicinal theory of their effects?” “I don’t know. I just simply know what medicine to use on what disease.” Hearing that Mr. Hawking was still curious, Emily simply ended the conversation, “Mr. Hawking, let’s talk about it in the future. I have an urgent matter here, so I’ll hang up first.” These days, Mr. Hawking repeatedly probed and asked her about the medicinal herbs. She couldn’t do anything to get out of it. Shaking her head, she continued to water the herbs. At the same time, in Country F, Lucas busied himself for a week to deal with all kinds of business matters. He rubbed his eyes and continued to study the documents in his hand. He used a pen to make

annotations. Mason asked with concern, “Young Master Greens, rest for a while. I’m afraid your health will suffer.” Lucas waved his hand. “I’m fine. This is the last document. We can return to China as soon as we finish.” The medicine given by Emily was very effective. After he finished taking them, his chest did not hurt again. Especially after taking the medicinal bath, he slept well every night, and his spirit was very good the next day. “Young Master Greens, it seems that Ms. Armstrong’s treatment is still effective. When we return to the country, we have to continue the treatment.” Mason smiled, he had observed all the changes in Lucas’ health. Lucas did not comment and yawned. He did not rest much this week. In addition, there was still the injury on his shoulder. He was still stressing his body.
