Chapter 280 An Unexpected Accident
Just as she took off only for a while, Emelia seemed to have thought of something, and she turned
around and instructed Julian, "Clean up your things later. Don't wait until Winston comes."
Julian thought to himself, "What the hell?"
For the past few days, the reason why Julian had moved his things little by little into Emelia's house
was to increase his sense of existence. And now, she asked him to move them all away?
Julian had thought that by moving in little by little, Emelia would have noticed it. Actually, she had
discovered it long ago, but she hadn't been in the mood to pay attention to his charade. But now that
she was to cater for Winston at home, he had to move away.
"I'll go shopping with you first." Julian changed the topic.
Emelia shook her head and said, "No need. Maisie will come and report to you later, right?"
In the past few days, in order to reduce the impact of Gerhard and Heather's past incident on the
Hughes Family, Julian had not shown up in public for a long time. Therefore, Maisie or David would
come to report to him about company's affairs every morning.
Emelia added, "I can go shopping by myself, but I have to borrow your car."
Usually, Emelia didn't need a car when she went out, but he had to purchase today, so going with a car
was more convenient.
Julian agreed quickly, "I'll ask Maisie to go to my house and drive your white BMW here."
The Land Rover parked outside was not suitable for women.
Emelia lowered her eyes and said, "Whatever."
Julian noticed the change in her mood. He walked over and held her in his arms, asking, "Don't you like
that car?"
"It's not that." For Emelia, a car was just a substitute. The white BMW that Julian had mentioned was
given to her as a present by Grandpa Hughes. She didn't want to drive it now because she felt that it
would remind her of the past. It was not that she didn't like the car.
Julian saw that she didn't speak and quickly said, "I'll buy you a new one."
"There is no need. I'll just drive the car." Emelia felt that sometimes, she couldn't easily communicate Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
with Julian. What she cared about was completely different from what he cared about.
Julian stared at her for a while, and he could still feel that she cared about him. So he hugged her and
said, "Since we can't give up the past, let's choose to hug the past and reconcile with it, okay?"
Julian wanted to persuade her to forget about the sad past and forgive him.
Emelia did not do as he wished. She looked up at him with a frown and said, "I could have had a good
farewell with the past."
The implication behind her words was that it was precisely because Julian had harassed her so that
she had fallen into a predicament where she couldn't part with the past. She had originally been
determined to steer clear of the past.
Her words made Julian speechless, but he couldn't do anything to her.
Twenty minutes later, Maisie drove Emelia's original car over. Emelia drove out to purchase. Julian
discussed work with Maisie.
However, not long after the two of them started, Julian received call from Randolph again.
Julian didn't want to have any more contact with the Sullivan family, so he simply hung up.
However, Randolph soon called him again. Julian answered indifferently, "Mr. Sullivan, what's the
matter?"
Randolph sighed on the phone and said, "Julian, I know that I exposed your parents' things, which
made you very angry..."
As soon as Randolph finished speaking, he was interrupted by Julian. "I'm sorry, I'm not angry. To put it
bluntly, that's their business. It has nothing to do with me and does not affect me at all."
Randolph was silent for a few seconds, but then he regained his composed manner and said, "But
haven't you been solitary recently? Besides, the Hughes Group has lost several projects. How can you
say it does not affect you at all?"
Julian sneered, "I become solitary to pursue a woman. Do you really think I don't dare to see anyone?
Or do you think losing a few projects can make the Hughes Group bankrupt?"
Julian's words made Randolph very angry.
Julian didn't care about his daughter at all, but he could spend so much effort on Emelia. It would be
strange if Randolph wasn't angry about it.
Randolph wanted to hang up the phone, but he remembered that his daughter, Yvonne, had told him to
try his best to hold Julian on the phone. So Randolph had to continue to chat with him reluctantly.
Randolph compromised, "Fine, fine, fine. It won't affect you at all."
Julian was extremely disgusted. "If you have something to say, just say it. If you have nothing to say,
hang up."
"Here's the thing, Julian. I called you today because I want to make peace with you. Let's stop fighting,
okay? Outsiders are laughing at us. They said that our two families almost became relatives, but now
we are fighting against each other." Randolph's words were completely contrary to his will.
According to Randolph's character, how could he take the initiative to seek peace with Julian?
Moreover, Julian was a junior.
However, since he wanted to hold Julian on the phone, he couldn't quarrel with him immediately, so he
could only say something about asking for peace.
Randolph's unusual behavior immediately made Julian vigilant.
He had experienced Randolph's insidious 'lessons', so he naturally did not believe that Randolph would
sincerely seek peace.
But if Randolph had not sincerely sought peace, why would he have called him to say such things?
Emelia!
Julian immediately thought of Emelia, who had just gone out for shopping. Randolph had probably
intentionally called him to hold him on the phone so that Yvonne could have a chance to attack Emelia.
He knew that if something happened to Emelia, she would probably ask him for help as soon as
possible. If he was held on the phone by Randolph...
Julian didn't dare to think further. He ignored Randolph with a gloomy face and hung up the phone.
He immediately called Emelia's phone, but no one answered.
Julian panicked. His hand holding the phone trembled slightly, but in the next second, he calmed down
again.
Because at this moment, there was only one thought in his heart: no matter what Emelia encountered,
he would not give up on her.
Maisie, who was standing on the side, noticed that something was wrong with him and immediately
asked, "Mr. Hughes, what happened?"
Julian looked up at Maisie, who was shocked by his murderous look.
"Something happened to Emelia." Julian ordered calmly, "Contact David to find out where she is."
"Yes." Maisie immediately called David, while Julian rushed out with the car key.
He swore that if Randolph and Yvonne dared to hurt Emelia this time, he would make them suffer to
death.
Emelia drove to the nearest shopping mall. As soon as she parked the car, something happened.
Someone knocked on her neck from behind and she fainted.
She didn't know what happened next. When she woke up, she was in a hotel room.
She could clearly feel that something was wrong with her body. Her mouth and tongue were dry.
She tried her best to sit up, but she was too weak to lift her arms.
She could see that her bag was on the cabinet at the end of the bed. Her cell phone was inside the
bag, but she could do nothing.
