Chapter 218 You Must Protect Me in the Future
However, the reporters didn’t expect that the person who came out with Vincent and Emelia was Julian, the new businessman in Riverside City.
A reporter asked in surprise, “Mr. Hughes, you?”
“Mr. Longerich is my most important partner. Shouldn’t I be here after such a big thing happened to him?” Julian’s cold words stopped the reporters from suspecting him.
Vincent raised his hand to signal the reporters to be quiet, and then took the initiative to say, “Thank you for your concern and support. In a while, our Longerich Family will hold a grand banquet and officially introduce my precious daughter to the public.”
“From now on, you can ask me if you have any questions.” Vincent smiled gently and kindly at the cameras of the reporters. He did not look like the ruthless man who could send Oliver and his son into prison at all, nor did he look like the person who punished Randolph.
Vincent stood in front of the camera, while Emelia held his arm and stood side by side with him. Julian stood behind them with a cold expression, and his eyes fell on Emelia quietly.
The reporters asked Vincent, “Mr. Longerich, how do you know Miss Jones’s mother?”
Vincent told the truth. “I studied in Riverside City when I was young, so I knew her mother. At that time, we were in love. But later, something happened to my family, and I was summoned back in a hurry.”
“The accident in our family made a big fuss at that time. I couldn’t even protect myself, so I didn’t dare to come back to find Emelia’s mother. Just like that, after a few years, when everything was done, I couldn’t find her when I came back. We completely lost contact.”
“I only found out recently that she passed away not long after giving birth.” Vincent’s tone was very sad.
The story sounded really sad, so did the reporters.
A reporter asked Emelia, “Miss Jones, may I ask if you will go to the Capital with Mr. Longerich in the future?”
Hearing that, Julian’s heart clenched, and he couldn’t help but stare at the side of Emelia’s face from behind.
If she had gone to the Capital, he would had probably moved the Hughes Group to the Capital.
Emelia said softly, “I still have work to do in Riverside City. I won’t go there in a short time. I’ll consider it after I finish my work.”
This answer from Emelia caused Julian sad.
Sure enough, Emelia had plans to go to the Capital.
Sure enough, these people and things in Riverside City didn’t weigh that much in her heart.
But her choice was understandable. Vincent was her biological father, but Julian… he was just an ex-husband who had hurt her deeply. Why would she miss him?
Even if she had some feelings, she would only miss Nina, her good friend.
After all, Nina was the one who had accompanied her through all the difficult moments of darkness in her life.
But he had not done anything with her in their three-year marriage.
Vincent added, “Emelia is my biological daughter and I have been missing for so many years in her life. I also hope that she can go to the Capital to spend time with me all the time.”
“But Emelia grows up in Riverside City, and her career center is also in Riverside City. We will respect her choice. No matter where she is, I and everyone in our Longerich family will love her.”
Vincent’s words made Emelia’s eyes turn red again. This feeling of being deeply loved by her family was really great.
From now on, her heart would be filled with their love, and she would no longer lack love, would she?
She would no longer yearn for a man to give her a home and warmth.
Vincent raised his hand and gently patted her hand on his arm to comfort her.
Vincent added, “Thank you for your attention on us. In the end, I have something to say.”
The reporters handed the microphone to him one after another, waiting for him to finish.
Vincent withdrew his gentle smile and looked sharply at the camera, announcing word by word, “From now on, my daughter will be protected by the Longerich family and me. No one can bully her.”
The reporters present felt a chill on their backs because of his eyes and words. They had to admit that Vincent, who suddenly became fierce, was also very lethal.
However, this was enough to show that he was very precious to his lost daughter, Emelia.
Vincent then said to the reporters in front of him, “I hope everyone will show respect to her in the future. She is just a screenwriter, the backstage worker. Don’t disturb her too much.”
“Okay.” The reporters answered one after another.
Vincent seemed to have thought of something and clarified to the reporter, “My daughter is now living in a villa. I gave it to her. And as for her jewelry and other luxury goods, they were given by her grandmother, not from some random rich men.
“Don’t write anything like ‘hooking up with a man for some money and benefits’. She doesn’t have to.”
The reporters were amused by Vincent’s words, but they also felt that it was good for Emelia to make it clear in advance, in case there were any rumors in the future.
With the backing of Vincent and the Longerich Family, there was indeed no need for Emelia to please anyone. Maybe the others have to please her.
However, hearing Vincent’s words, Julian was unhappy.
If he gave some expensive gifts to Emelia in the future, would he be considered as a “random man”?
This was really frustrating.
Vincent protected Emelia so much that he didn’t want her to get married? Did he want her to be single for the rest of her life?
Vincent waved at the reporters and said, “OK. I hope that it will be the broadcast of our new play together the next time we meet.”
The implication was that during this period of time, no one would disturb him and Emelia.
After Vincent finished speaking, he turned to Julian and said, “Mr. Hughes, please help me send my daughter home. I won’t go to her place. Because I’ll fly back tomorrow morning.”
In front of the reporters, Vincent asked Julian to send Emelia, so obviously, no one had any objections. So, Emelia then got into Julian’s car and left. Vincent also returned to his hotel.
As a result, this sensational event completely came to an end.
Emelia was not canceled by the screenwriter industry because of the rumors. Instead, she turned out to be the little princess of the Longerich family. From then on, no matter in life or work, there were tens of thousands of people flattering her.
The plan of those who tried to see her make a fool of herself failed. Some of them must feel disappointed.
On the way back, Emelia received a call from Nina.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Nina only called Emelia excitedly when she saw that Emelia and Vincent had accepted the interview. The moment Emelia picked up the call, she heard Nina screaming excitedly on the phone, “Baby, you’re so awesome!”
“You must protect me in the future!” Nina happily made her request.
