Chapter 271 Acting
After Nina finished speaking, the crowd immediately started discussing amongst themselves.
“She deserves it.”
“Emelia is now a member of the Longerich family. Her ex-husband must have regretted it, right?”
“I really want to know who that shameless mistress is. This is so funny.”
Nina glanced at Yvonne. Seeing that she was very angry but had to pretend to be calm, she felt too happy. She loved to see plots of exposing tricks made by bad people. Yvonne shot herself in the foot.
Emelia’s mood was as good as hers, and her smile became even brighter. She looked not as embarrassed as Yvonne had imagined.
Nina continued to expose more details that made Yvonne even more embarrassed. “The most ironic thing is that Emelia’s ex-husband only learned of her excellence after the divorce. Right now, he’s desperately pursuing Emelia and asking her for a second marriage.”
Everyone was very surprised. “Really? Is there such a thing?”
“I think the news has reported that Emelia’s ex-husband’s family background is also very good. He hasn’t married anyone for such a long time after their divorce?”
She meant that a man like Emelia’s ex-husband must not be shortage of women. If they divorced, there must be many women willing to be his wife. She did not expect that his ex-husband would pursue Emelia again.
Nina pretended to be mysterious and said, “Do you know how much her ex-husband is trying to please her? Everyone knows that her ex-husband’s family background is very good. In the past, he was served by others and didn’t do any housework. Now, he’s learning how to cook for Emelia.”
Everyone was stunned.
Julian was learning to cook for Emelia?
Yvonne was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
How was this possible?
Julian was such a proud and noble young master. How could he cook?
Everyone exclaimed in surprise. Emelia didn’t say anything and slowly ate the food in front of her. She and Nina really had a tacit understanding.
Nina knew that it was hard for her to show off her, so she spoke up for her.
After everyone sighed, someone asked Emelia, “Your ex-husband is chasing you so sincerely. Will you reconcile with him?”
Emelia smiled and replied, “No. Right now, I’m focused on my career.”
Emelia didn’t lie. She just answered the question truthfully, but judging from her calm attitude, she didn’t seem to take Julian’s hard work seriously at all. Yvonne gnashed her teeth in hatred.
Yvonne tried her best to please Julian, but she didn’t get any response from him. But Emelia had completely ignored the sincerity of Julian. How could she be so arrogant!
Yvonne felt like she was about to cry from anger. Emelia was too hateful.
She had never imagined that Julian would be so humble for Emelia.
In the past, he hadn’t even wanted to look at Emelia at all. But now, he had let go of his pride and gone all out to curry favor with her. Did he still love his dignity?
After Emelia finished speaking, Sydney said to her, “I didn’t expect that although you seem mild, you can actually be so decisive in giving up such an excellent man. But I think you don’t lack excellent suitors now. You are the daughter of the Longerich family. Your families must have introduced a lot of excellent gentlemen to you, right?”
“Yes.” Emelia thought of Winston Hopkins, whom Vincent eagerly wanted to recommend to her. For a moment, she also felt a little annoyed.
She thought that she should do a work plan in advance, a plan on where and when to take him to play when he came.
Nina smiled happily. “Mr. Longerich introduced an excellent gentleman to her. He’ll come to Emelia in a few days. If there are reporters taking photos of them, this will definitely be on the headlines again. Wait and see how outstanding that gentleman is. I’m already interested in him.”
Emelia glanced at Nina in annoyance. Was lying really good?
What did she mean by “I’m already interested in him”?
She only cared about Cameron Dauster.
In addition, Emelia didn’t quite understand why Nina had told them about Winston’s arrival, and how Nina had predicted that it would be on the news. She was truly afraid of being a trending topic on Twitter.
Nina whispered to her, “You are now a big-time celeb, and Winston is also a man in the limelight. You two could be on the news at any time. I want to make Yvonne angry and make those clowns who want to laugh at you jealous.”
Sure enough, Yvonne was embarrassed again. Some of the others didn’t look very happy and almost stopped smiling.
It was impossible for somebody not to be jealous of what Emelia possessed.
Yvonne was particularly jealous of Emelia because of Julian, but even if the others didn’t have any grudges against Emelia before, they were still very jealous of her, because some people just couldn’t bear to see others better than themselves, and couldn’t bear to see others have possessed more than themselves.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people coming to the party tonight. Among these so-called noble ladies, some really wanted to make friends with Emelia so that they could get closer to the Longerich family, such as Sydney.
There were also some people who came purely to see how would Emelia be embarrassed, or to see Emelia and Yvonne get into a fight.
Seeing that everyone was paying attention to Emelia, Yvonne gritted her teeth and signaled a woman beside her to think of another way to deal with Emelia.
The woman said with a chuckle, “Ladies and gentlemen. I hope you all have enjoyed a good meal. You’re probably looking for some fun now after dinner. I see a piano over there. What about I play a song to cheer you guys up.”
Everyone quickly applauded. She then turned to Emelia and said, “Miss Jones, you are the star of tonight’s party. I’ll play a song first to warm up. How about you play another song later?”
Emelia immediately looked a little flustered, and then she said in a somewhat resistant tone, “Well, I’d pass.”
In fact, Emelia was pretending to be flustered. She didn’t want to do this, but Nina insisted that she should do a bit of acting.
Sometimes, to have an actor friend meant that you might get dragged into a show as well.
Nina told her that if Yvonne or her lackeys invited her to play the piano or dance, she should pretend to be very flustered and refuse their request, as if she could do nothing, which made them feel very proud.
Then when she was forced to play, she would make a grand plot-twist. Only in this way could those bitches be really embarrassed and flabbergasted to their asses.
At first, Emelia disagreed. She was a screenwriter, not an actress.
Her acting skills were really poor. It didn’t matter if it was just a simple play, but this play was quite complicated…
Nina did not agree and forced her to put on a show. She had no choice but to compromise.
Therefore, at this moment, she pretended to be resistant and uneasy. Yvonne and her attendant immediately felt very proud when they saw it. They became more and more sure that Emelia could not play the piano.
Some of the others wanted to watch the fun, while others wanted to laugh at her. None of them spoke.
The woman ignored Emelia’s refusal. “Oh, you’re one of the Longerichs. Don’t be so humble. I’ll ”
As she spoke, she stood up and gracefully walked towards the piano, holding the hem of her skirt.
