Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart
Chapter 401 Greed

After getting out of the old Mr. McBride's ward, Emelia asked Julian in confusion, "Why did you say that to him?" Emelia was moved by what Julian said, but she thought it was a little inappropriate to say it to the old man.

For Emelia and Julian, he was nothing more than an acquaintance.

After the deal was over, they wouldn't contact the old man anymore.

Julian stopped and stared at Emelia, saying, "It was not a spur of the moment thing."

Emelia looked at Julian in surprise, only to hear "I was just speaking from the heart."

"But I really want to show him my love for you." Julian narrowed his eyes after saying this.

Emelia read between the lines and asked, "Why?"

Julian pursed his lips. "I think Derek is also involved in the kidnapping." Derek was the old Mr. McBride's name.

Emelia was shocked.

In her mind, Derek was also a victim. He even fell ill from anger at his son and granddaughter.

Emelia clutched Julian's clothes and asked, "Why did they do that?"

"For profit." Julian held her hand to comfort her. "Some people are far greedier than we thought."

"But I'm just suspecting something with no evidence." To relieve Emelia, Julian said, "Let's go back to the hotel."

Maisie took a taxi back, so the car was left.

On the way to the hotel, Julian thought of Maisie and asked, "How is Maisie?"

Emelia felt a little guilty, so she quickly looked away. "She is suffering from period pains, so I asked her to have a rest."

Julian thought Emelia was too embarrassed to talk about this, so he didn't pay any attention to the unease in her expression.

Thus, Julian said, "Then ask her to rest for a few more days. She has done so much work here."

Maisie had been busy with the chip industrial park since she arrived in Grafstin. After site selection, she started to negotiate with many companies. Now that Julian was here, Maisie deserved a good rest. "Okay." Emelia heaved a sigh of relief.

Maisie had to stay in bed for a few days, and Emelia had been afraid that Julian would ask Maisie to do something else.

Maisie had booked a room, which Emelia had to share with Julian.

After sleeping with Julian, Emelia no longer insisted on living apart from him.

After getting into the room, Julian answered a phone call and Emelia began to pack their luggage.

As soon as Emelia turned around, she was hugged by Julian, who had just finished the call. Emelia asked worriedly, "What do you want?"

Julian pushed Emelia onto the big bed, planked her, and kissed her lips. "That is all that I want."

Emelia pinched his waist. "I'm talking about Larry McBride."

Julian chuckled. "Wait until Larry McBride contacts me. They are in a state of anxiety because they want to get the money sooner."

Larry McBride was the son of Derek. Julian had just gotten Larry's specific information from his men.

Julian always conducted a detailed examination of anyone who offended him.

As expected, the results didn't disappoint Julian.

Larry committed a crime before. Because he owed a large amount of usury, he was chased. When he resisted, he accidentally killed a debt collector. In order not to be caught, he remained hidden. Even Derek didn't know about this. Larry took the risk and planned this kidnapping for the sake of money.

After all, if it worked, Larry would be able to escape abroad with ten million.

Julian remained calm, but Emelia got anxious. "You should take down that piece of land as soon as possible. You look too calm."

Julian said slowly. "Anyway, I can do nothing now."

"If I were you, I would freak out," Emelia said with a shrug.

Julian was blackmailed 10 million, and, also, he was forced to marry. However, Julian was indifferent to it.

In response, Julian lifted Emelia's chin and stuck his tongue down her throat.

After Julian let go of her, Emelia was almost out of breath. Julian stared at her and said in a regretful tone, "I regret bringing you here."

Emelia was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Julian frowned and said, "If Derek is involved with this, I'm worried that they will plot against you. Once you are kidnapped, I will do anything they ask. They know you are my weakness."

Emelia panicked and sat up nervously. "Then what should I do to prevent it from happening?"

"I thought I could deal with it soon, so I insisted on bringing you here. First, you can get together with Maisie, and secondly, we can have fun here. I didn't expect it to be a hard nut to crack." Julian said apologetically, "As a result, you have to stay here and not go out from now on."

"No problem."

"You don't have to feel guilty. I'm not a big fan of hanging out, and I can work here."

Emelia comforted Julian in a warm voice.

She didn't expect that Julian would bring her here to get together with Maisie. Emelia was very moved by his thoughtfulness.

Also, Emelia was glad that she was here to do Maisie and Julian a favor, or Maisie would be in trouble now.

"I'll call Maisie later and ask her to live next to you. If anything happens, she can protect you with her expert fighting skills." Julian had great confidence in Maisie's fighting skills.

Emelia waved her hand at once, "No, Maisie is not feeling well, so she needn't come."

Julian glanced at Emelia and remembered that Maisie was suffering from period pains.

Maisie had worked with Julian for so many years, but she never asked for leave because of this. Then what happened to her now?

Nonetheless, now that Emelia wanted Maisie to rest, Julian had to agree. He said nothing but decided to avoid going out and spend more time with Emelia in this room.

Glancing at his watch, Julian pulled Emelia out of the bed and said, "Get dressed. We'll go out for a meal."

Emelia was confused. "You have just told me not to go out."

Julian laughed. "You can go out with me. I'm confident enough to protect you from injury."

Having said this, Julian thought of something. "But I haven't had a chance to show you how brilliant my fighting skills are."

Emelia said sincerely, "I hope you can never get such a chance. Nothing is more important than safety."
