Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart
Chapter 198 Priceless Emerald

Thinking of this, Julian was in a bad mood.

With a gloomy face, he took out his mobile phone and asked David to arrange someone to follow Emelia and Vincent.

Although he believed that the relationship between Emelia and Vincent was not like what he thought, he just couldn't bear to see Emelia alone with Vincent.

Emelia took Vincent to have breakfast first, at the old city district where she lived when she was a child.

While eating breakfast, Emelia said, "When I was a child, I lived nearby. At that time, my family was ordinary. After I went to primary school, Oliver made a lot of money, and we moved into the villa. But in a few years, he was infected with gambling and other bad habits. His company got worse and worse until he finally went bankrupt."

Oliver was doing construction business, and he earned a lot of money from each project.

He was also a little famous in Riverside City in his heyday, but fame and fortune brought him not only enjoyment but also endless temptation.

Obviously, Oliver failed to resist the temptation and gambled away a family fortune.

However, after the failure, he did not learn his lesson. Instead, he became hateful and unscrupulous because he had gotten used to life in luxury.

He said that he sent her to Julian's bed to fulfill her wish, but in fact, it was because Julian had power and money, and he could use her to blackmail him a lot of money.

Vincent pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time. Then he asked her with distress, "Did he ever beat you?"

"No, He didn't." Emelia said honestly, "When I was a child, he didn't dare to beat me because of my mother's protection. He would just scold me, saying that it was useless to raise me and spend money on me."

"Later, I grew up, and he couldn't beat me anymore."

Through the brief description of Emelia, Vincent could already imagine what kind of life she had lived when she was a child.

Speaking of which, he really had to thank Oliver's wife. If she hadn't adopted Emelia, and if she hadn't been kind enough to protect Emelia, he couldn't imagine what her daughter would be now? Emelia saw that Vincent was not in the mood, she quickly comforted him with a smile. "All these have passed. I am also very grateful for these experiences. They made me become stronger." Vincent did not say anything else. After breakfast, Emelia took Vincent to the place where she had studied before. She shared her experiences from primary school to university and mentioned about her grades to Vincent.

Hearing this, Vincent's face was full of pride. The talent in writing of him was inherited from Emelia, which was what he was most proud of and most gratified about.

In fact, Emelia was very curious about why Vincent wanted to know about her past, but she thought that Vincent might want to get closer to her, so she did not think about anything else.

In the afternoon, Emelia sent Vincent back to the hotel, and she went home.

They took a short break and prepared to attend the banquet at night.

As soon as Vincent returned to the room, he received a call from Julian.

Vincent suspected that Julian had sent someone to keep an eye on him and Emelia. Otherwise, why would he be so on time? He just happened to call Vincent after he said goodbye to Emelia. This was Riverside City, Julian's territory. Maybe he could do such a thing.

Julian politely invited Vincent over the phone, "Mr. Longerich, let's attend the banquet and promote our new drama."

Although they had just decided to cooperate, the promotion could start now.

With the Hughes Group's funds and Vincent's talent and reputation, this drama would definitely become famous before it was broadcast.

However, Vincent didn't appreciate Julian's kindness. He replied in a low voice, "Isn't Mr. Hughes supposed to have a beauty by his side in such an occasion?"

Julian laughed and said, "The beauty I want will definitely not be with me. I can only invite you."

When Emelia could accompany him to attend such a public occasion, then he would be satisfied.

Before Vincent could say anything, Julian added, "I know that you want to terminate the contract with me, and I also know that you don't lack the money to pay for a penalty, but I just want to remind you that our ultimate goal is to help Emelia achieve her dream."

Julian's words successfully made Vincent stop making things difficult for him.

Vincent thought that Julian was right. Their common goal was to help Emelia.

The reason why Julian made such an arrangement was indeed to promote the new drama, and also to have a chance to talk to Vincent at a close distance.

Let's talk about why Vincent treated Emelia so well.

Julian also had one more important personal intention, which was that he was with Vincent. Emelia would definitely come to greet Vincent and would definitely come to him.

Otherwise, Emelia would definitely ignore him all night. The last time he drank her wine, although he gave her a pile of the tableware and the mug that she liked to make up for it, she only thanked him with a nonchalant attitude.

After Emelia returned home, she began preparing for the banquet. First, she went to pick out a dress with Nina.

Nina had always been bright and dazzling in public, so the dresses she chose were all eye-catching.

Emelia only wanted to choose black dress, but because she was going to wear the emerald jewelry sent by the Longerich family's grandmother, she chose a black middle-style cheongsam with an emerald necklace, elegant and noble.

After showing the set of emerald jewelry to Nina, Nina immediately covered her mouth and screamed.

"I have participated in an auction before. I seem to have seen this pair of emerald earrings." Nina's interest was piqued. She took out her phone and searched for the emerald jewelry through the internet. The results of the investigation shocked both Emelia and Nina. This set of emerald ornaments wasn't the entire set from the very beginning. Instead, they were collected one by one as a complete set.

A pair of emerald earrings at auction fetched a sky-high price, and the emerald necklace was even rarer and more precious, and caused a stir at the auction that year, but was later auctioned by a mysterious person and disappeared.

No one would expect that it was taken by the Longerich family. Now it was in Emelia's hands.

The emerald bracelet and jadeite ring with diamonds were all luxurious and expensive.

The reason why Emelia chose to only wear a necklace was that she felt that she the whole set would be too much for her.

Nina selected a formal dress with the emerald necklace for Emelia.

Nina sighed. "Just wearing a necklace is enough. Your temperament suits this kind of understated grandeur."

Nina, on the other hand, was blingy from head to toe. 100% glamourous and dazzling.

They took Nina's nanny car to the hotel where the banquet was held. On the way, Nina said, "It is a gathering of film and television circle tonight. Yvonne will definitely be there as well."

"I know." Emelia responded. She thought of this before, but she didn't have much feeling.

Yvonne had set up her own film and television company, so she would definitely attend such an occasion.

Nina said worriedly, "I'm really afraid that she'll make trouble for you again. Why is she so bitchy?"

Emelia was stunning tonight. The emerald necklace had really made her more beautiful. Yvonne would inevitably get mad once she saw Emelia.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
