Chapter 184 I Promise
As she spoke, Emelia poked her pale index finger into Julian’s abs. Julian’s face suddenly grew hard. He couldn’t take it.
How can any man survive that?
So he took a deep breath and said, “Yes, I promise you.”
“Thank you then, Goodbye.” As soon as he agreed, Emelia quickly thanked him and ran away.
Having had the awkward experience of that morning at the hotel, Emelia now learned to run when it is dangerous and ambiguous, so as not to cause any further embarrassment.
Why did she become this way?
She took off as soon as he said yes?
Gritting his teeth, he closed the door and turned into the bathroom.
Emelia took a deep breath when she returned to her home, and the lesson was clear, if someone is shameless in front of you, you could only be more shameless than he is in order to defeat him.
Emelia then called Vincent to tell him about her move, and he was glad she accepted the gift quickly.
Vincent asked her again on the phone, “Has Yvonne contacted you?”
Emelia shakes her head. “No.”
Vincent snorted, “I guess she would call you today, and I had to get someone to put a bit pressure on Randolph, and she had to apologize!”
At the coffee shop, after Yvonne and Emelia had a falling out, there was no word, no mention of an apology.
Vincent took it very seriously, because for him, despite his friendship with Emelia, as a leading figure in the literary screenwriting world, he could not accept such a despicable act of Yvonne plagiarizing other people’s scripts.
That’s why Vincent has been watching this matter and had to force Yvonne to apologize until she did.
“Okay.” Emelia wasn’t going to let Yvonne off the hook that easily.
Just like Vincent predicted, Yvonne contacted Emelia and asked her to meet her in the afternoon.
When Nina heard about this, she immediately dragged Emelia out the door. “Come on, let’s go pick out some clothes. Didn’t your sister from the Longerich’s give you a card? Let’s go to her shop.”
“Even if you don’t have a card,” Nina added, “I’m still qualified to give you a few outfits as a spokesperson.”
“Let’s get dressed up, out stunned Yvonne, and see how far she gets!”
It was in Nina’s high spirits that Emelia was spirited out of the house by Nina because the appointment was in the afternoon, so the two went to eat some lunch, and then went shopping for some clothes.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
When shopping for clothes, Nina said, “Yvonne that bitch is now the boss of her own company. I think she has been dressing like an alpha female recently. You should do the same today. Go face to face with her.”
“You’re doing a lot better than her in terms of your career,” was Nina’s reason.
Yvonne used to be an A-lister with the resources Julian gave her, but her image took a nosedive after she was outed as a self-promoting bitch and tried to get married to Julian.
If Randolph hadn’t paid Yvonne to start her own company, Yvonne wouldn’t be in show business right now.
And Emelia, who now wrote two TV shows on her own, is thriving.
“I’ll just wear what I like,” said Emelia, who gave up the blazer Nina handed her and focused instead on a slim trench coat.
When she was with Julian, Emilia was always imitating Yvonne invariably; she lost herself during the process.
At that time, Yvonne was going for the modest route, and her daily wear was a celebrity-style dress with slim high heels.
But Emelia didn’t like that at all. She liked to be comfortable and simple, she liked canvas shoes and jeans, she liked loose-fitting clothes, and she liked to be comfortable.
Emelia smiled and said to the clerk, “I’ll try on this trench coat.”
It was early autumn, and it was cold in the afternoons when the sun was not so strong, a trench coat would be perfect.
After Emelia’s fitting, Nina had to admit that light beige, a soft color, was a perfect fit for Emelia.
She stood there, pure and fresh, you could sense the art and literature in her.
Finally, with the help of Nina and the clerk, Emelia chose the black tight jeans and a pair of Chelsea boots, which make her both artistic and stylish.
When Emelia met Yvonne in the cafe in her new outfit, Yvonne was so impressed by her, her pupils dilated.
Emelia, in particular, was carrying two books she had just bought from a bookstore on her way to the cafe. The cafe was next to a very romantic bookstore, and she went in and bought two books she liked.
Yvonne looked at Emilia as she walked towards her, and she couldn’t help but think of the fresh and surreal heroine of the show. Emelia looked like she could play the part herself.
When she was an actress, she wanted to play this kind of role many times, but the director always turned her down.
The director said that she is too mature for such a role; the implication is that she is not fresh and refined enough.
Seeing Emilia show up like this, Yvonne was very upset.
“Oh, Emelia, you didn’t buy this knock-off from the street, did you?” She scoffed as soon as Emilia sat down
“I’m an originator,” said Emelia. “I support original products. I don’t buy knock-offs.”
Emelia not only made it clear that she had bought a genuine designer brand but also implied that Yvonne had copied her script, which made Yvonne’s face turn red.
This Emelia, she’s getting more and more hateful, when did she become so aggressive?
It seems that she was pretending to be a good girl when she was with Julian!
Yvonne gritted her teeth in anger, and Emelia duly “kindly” reminded her, “Miss Sullivan, if I’m not mistaken, you asked me out today to apologize to me?”
Emelia’s words hit Yvonne hard in the heart, and she clenched her fist for a long time to calm her anger. She had not forgotten what her father, Randolph, had said to her as she was leaving the house.
She refused to apologize to Emelia, preferring to fight her to the death rather than compromise and grovel to her.
If she were apologizing to someone else, she wouldn’t be so ostracized, but it was Emelia, the Emelia she had defeated, the Emelia who had taken the man she wanted to marry —
She didn’t want to apologize. Not a word.
But Randolph said, “Emelia is now relying on Vincent’s power, but why would a man of Vincent’s age protect Emelia like this?”
