Chapter 160 They Dare Lay a Finger on You?
Of course, Emelia could see Heather’s anger, but she ignored her. She walked over and sat down opposite them as if nothing had happened. She asked flatly, “What are you for coming to me today?”
Gerhard replied in a kind tone, “Well, I know what Caroline did. She really went too far.”
Emelia didn’t speak, waiting for Gerhard to continue.
Gerhard added, “After all, you two used to be sisters-in-law. In view of that, can you give her a chance to reform?”
After saying that, Gerhard looked at her quietly. Although he seemed to be negotiating with Emelia all the way, the pressure and faint warning in his eyes were daunting.
Emelia calmly looked into Gerhard’s eyes for a few seconds before she suddenly chuckled.
At first, she thought that she might not sue Caroline or not if Gerhard and Heather could be a little more sincere. But it was obvious that Gerhard and Heather wanted to force her to compromise.
Their arrogant was exactly the same as that of Randolph and Yvonne. The two families were indeed worthy of being relatives.
Emelia smiled and asked Gerhard, “Did Caroline consider that I was her sister-in-law when she did it?”
Gerhard was rendered speechless by her words on the spot. Emelia said mockingly, “Don’t plead with our past. Caroline never treated me as her sister-in-law, and you two have never truly regarded me as your daughter-in-law!”
Emelia said sharply.
Gerhard was a little embarrassed. In his memory, Emelia was dull, not good at words, reserved, and introverted. When did she become so eloquent?
Heather was so angry that she pointed at Emelia’s nose and scolded, “Don’t be so shameless. We’re discussing it with you now. Believe it or not, we can stop you from suing her!”
“In that case, stop me.” Emelia didn’t make a concession. “In the broad daylight, I don’t believe you can cover the sky with your hands.”
Heather gritted her teeth in anger. Gerhard held down Heather, who had lost control of her emotions, and once again looked at the calm girl opposite him. He said in a serious tone, “Emelia, we didn’t mean to joke with you. You should know that in Riverside City, you are powerless to defeat us.”
Emelia remained unmoved and replied, “I’m not joking with you either.”
“Emelia!” Heather stood up from the sofa. She couldn’t stand it anymore.
She didn’t agree at first on the idea of talking to Emelia because she had known how aggressive Emelia became, who looked like a different person now. It proved that she was right. How embarrassed they were now!
In Heather’s opinion, they shouldn’t have come to Emelia at all. They could find someone to hit her.
As soon as she finished roaring, there was a knock on the door.
It was Julian who gabbled, “Emelia, open the door.”
Before Emelia could react, Heather shouted, “Don’t open it!”
If Julian came in, they would inevitably quarrel again, because her son had lost his mind and said that he fell in love with Emelia.
Moreover, he would stand on Emelia’s side regardless of their feelings.
And if they quarreled, wouldn’t it be a joke for Emelia? Wouldn’t that make her even more proud?
Emelia lazily got up from the sofa and replied to Heather, “This is my home. Your words don’t count.”
Heather was so angry that she almost fainted on the spot like last time.
However, although Emelia said that, she didn’t walk over and open the door for Julian.
Emelia really didn’t intend to open the door for him. She didn’t need to rely on him to resolve this matter, nor did she want to owe him a favor.
She stood there gracefully and calmly said to Gerhard and Heather, “Mr. and Mrs. Hughes, you must have heard of Mr. Vincent, right?”
“So what?” Sure enough, they knew about Vincent. After all, Randolph had just pulled strings to ask for Vincent’s support for Yvonne. Although Julian and Yvonne were not getting well with each other now, Gerhard and Heather still kept contacting with Randolph and his wife.
Emelia added, “I’m the adopted daughter of Mr. Longerich now. If you insist on using your power to suppress me, then I have to ask Mr. Longerich for help.”
Emelia had never been a person who bullied others with her power, but Yvonne, Randolph, and the Hughes couple had gone too far.
Emelia couldn’t stand it anymore and had to announce the relationship between Vincent and her.
Vincent happened to have said yesterday that with the Longerich family as her strong backing, no one dared to bully her again. These words gave her the confidence to use Vincent today.\
Gerhard cried out involuntarily, “What? You are Vincent’s adopted daughter?”
Heather also looked unconvinced. They knew well what kind of person Vincent was. It could be said that whether it was the Hughes family or the Sullivan family, even put the two families together, they were not able to fight against the Longerich family in the Capital…
“Yes, if you don’t believe me, I can call him on the spot.” As she spoke, Emelia took the phone and dialed Vincent’s number in the shocked sight of Gerhard and Heather.
Outside, the knocking on the door became more and more urgent, but Emelia completely ignored it.
After saying hello to Vincent on the phone, she said, “Mr. Longerich, I agreed to your proposal yesterday. Being your adopted daughter is a blessing from my previous life. I am very willing to do that.”
“Great!” Vincent’s joyful voice came through the phone through speaker. “In a few days, my wife will be discharged from the hospital. We will go to Riverside City to see your parents in person with a big gift.”
Vincent still didn’t know about Emelia’s family, so Emelia didn’t explain much. She just said apologetically, “There’s no need for a big gift, but I may have to trouble you to help me deal with some things first.”
“What’s wrong?” After Vincent asked her with concern, he said sincerely, “Tell me whatever it is. I will definitely help you. Even if I can’t do it, I will ask someone to do it!”Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
Vincent’s words made Emelia’s eyes welled up with tears. Since her mother passed away, she had not received the love and care of her elders for a long time.
Emelia tried her best to calm down and told Vincent that she was kidnapped by Caroline. Of course, he also said that at this moment, Caroline’s parents were in her home, threatening her to let go of Caroline.
Vincent sounded very angry. “How dare they threaten you when their daughter did such a heinous thing?”
“Let’s see if they dare lay a finger on you!” In such a few words, Vincent had fully expressed his urge to protect Emelia.
