Chapter 2 You Don’t Deserve Emily
The people at the scene didn't dare to say anything, their face paled.
They only seen something like this on TV, it was way too bizarre.
Andrew suddenly let go and Albert fell onto the ground. He coughed violently.
"Remember, this is the Clark House and it will forever belong to the Clark family. Tell your father that I'm back," said Andrew. He then turned around and left.
As Andrew slowly walked away from the Clark House, a painful groan could be heard coming from the Clark House.
Both of Albert's legs were broken. This was Andrew's first gift to the Turner family.
"Commander, where are we heading next?" Phoenix still had some blood on his hands, which belongs to Albert.
"The Martin family," replied Albert indifferently.
Phoenix looked at Andrew who had no expression on his face. He paused briefly and said, "Commander, Mr. Ray Fraser is here in K City for a business meeting. He heard that you were here and wanted to treat you to a meal. Do you..."
"I'm not free!" Andrew disrupted Phoenix.
Phoenix smacked his lips and didn't say anything more.
Phoenix left after Andrew got off the car.
After the Clark family was gone, Peter's wife and daughter went to stay at the Martin family.
The Martin family was a second-tier family in K City and it was only because the Clark family helped them.
He didn't know what the mother and daughter have gone through. Their family crumbled and they went from heaven to hell. They had to suffer a lot. He was back now and he wouldn't let anyone else bully them.
Emily was his childhood friend and his wife.
Just as he was about to knock on the door, he overheard sounds coming from inside.
"Emily, I've decided for you. Three days later, go to the T.Y. International Hotel and sign the engagement with Ashley." It was Emily's uncle, Eden Martin.
"Yeah, Emily, Ashely is a great young man. He is successful and runs three companies before turning 30 years old. He has billions in assets,” said Emily's mother, Rosa Martin.
"Emily, Ashley is a prince in many girls' hearts. You will be happy to marry him," said Emily's best friend, Mary Harvey.
"Grandpa, mom, I'm married to Andrew. Dad wouldn't support this decision if he was still alive," said Emily stubbornly. Peter arranged a marriage ceremony for them shortly before Andrew got enlisted. "Silly girl, no one knows where Andrew is right now. Something so horrible happened to us, if he knew about this he should've come back to see us. Like Ashley said, even in the army he would still have access to his phone and the internet. He won't disappear without a trace if he really treats us like family."
Eden said forcefully, "Your mom is right. Andrew is a useless bum, a coward. He knew what happened to the Clark family and ran away as fast as he could. He is a useless and ungrateful bastard. You shouldn't have faith in him."
"Yeah, Emily. Just say yes to Ashley! Andrew was shifty-eyed. He didn't seem like a good person."
Andrew clenched his fist. If he was a normal soldier, he could've got back much sooner. But he was on the battlefield and was facing terrifying enemies. That was why he only found out about the incident half a year later.
He was late, and hence he didn't blame them for misunderstanding.
He thought about it for a while and decided to knock on the door in the end. A middle-aged woman in a black dress who looked elegant opened the door.
She only reacted after a long pause the moment she saw Andrew.
"Andrew?"
Andrew squeezed a rare smile and said, "Yes, it's me, Rosa."
"When... when did you come back?" Rosa smiled in surprise.
"Just now!"
"Andrew..." Rosa's face dimmed, she was thinking about what they were talking about just now.
"Rosa, may I come in?" Andrew asked directly.
Rosa pondered briefly and was about to say something, but Andrew already walked in.
Emily's uncle and an unfamiliar face were in the house. A girl was sitting next to Emily, and it was her best friend Mary.
"An, Andrew!" Emily recognized him immediately. She was taken aback, was it a dream?
Andrew stared at Emily. She was still as beautiful. A short and tight black skirt showed off her figure and her black stockings were sexy. It had been six years and she looked more mature. "You, are you doing well?" Andrew forced out a neutral greeting.
Emily sighed and asked, "What did you come back for?"
Tears started to well up in her eyes. Only she knew how much she suffered in the past 6 months. Many times she thought about how great it would be if only Andrew was next to her. Her father passed away and Andrew was her only pillar, but he was nowhere to be found.
"Sorry that I'm late. You guys have suffered," Andrew sobbed slightly. It was the first time in 5 years since he talked in such a tone.
5 years in the army and he was killing ceaselessly. He was already numb to emotions and didn't like to laugh.
"Sorry, I'm, I'm going to the bathroom."
Emily covered her face and stood up. She didn't know how to face Andrew.
Rosa let Andrew sit down!
As he sat, Ashley snorted, "So, you are the Andrew that leeched on the Clark family."
"Yeah, Ashley. He is that useless Andrew," said Mary. In her memory, Andrew was a useless bum.
Ashley put in a lot of time and effort to get Emily. They were about to reach an agreement and Andrew appeared out of nowhere.
"Oh right, I'll just tell you straight out! Three days later, I will have an engagement with Emily at the TY International hotel. I know what your intention is, to suddenly appear around this timing."
After he said that, he took out a cheese and wrote down five million, "Here's five million, it should be enough for you for a long time. I don't want to see you in K City ever again. You should know what to do." Eden was stunned, he said, "Andrew, you intentionally rushed over for this? You, you're so shameless."
In their eyes, Andrew returned around this time just for money.
"But that's fine. Emily can finally give up now, after seeing your true colors."
Andrew took a deep breath and looked around the house. He shook his head bitterly and picked up the cheese on the table.
Ashley smiled contently seeing him picking up the cheese. Andrew was too young and naïve trying to compete with him.
Emily who was standing on the side saw what happened and she felt miserable. All the times when she was mocked and ridiculed, she always hoped that Andrew would appear and save her like a hero. But now, she was just filled with disappointment.
Was Andrew really here just for the money?
If that was true, then she should give up. Maybe this was Andrew's true face after all.
But at this moment, Andrew tore the cheese in half. Everybody was stunned.
He smiled showing his teeth and said slowly, "You don't deserve Emily."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
