Chapter 316 Investigate Eric
Emelia followed Jean to the outside corridor. Jean paused and said with a smile, “You don’t need to be so polite to see me off.”
Emelia stared at her eyes and said nervously, “Just now, Arthur….”
Jean interrupted promptly, “I know what you want to say, but I don’t think there’s any need to explain.”
She continued straightly, “To be honest, he had been targeting at me in all sorts of ways. I once thought he might have interest in me and did this to get my attention. After hearing his words today, I finally know that I was the fool. He really didn’t like me, and that’s why he always go against be.”
Emelia was anxious, “No, Jean…”
She once talked about it with Julian, who said that he, as Arthur’s good brother for many years, were sure that Arthur had fallen for Jean, but he used the wrong way.
However, now Jean thought Arthur didn’t like her anymore. She was decisive and had made up her mind, as if she was gonna treat Arthur as a stranger. Emelia was eager to explain for Arthur.
“I have work to do. See you next time.” Jean didn’t let Emelia say anything more, smiling and walking away.
Emelia sighed heavily.
Arthur that silly man!
Back in the ward, Emelia looked at Arthur, who was still standing in the same place, and said helplessly, “You heard it, right? She now thinks that you hate her.”
It was quiet in the VIP ward, so it was impossible not to hear their conversation outside.
Arthur didn’t talk tough like before but lowered his head in a daze.
Julian spoke on the hospital bed, “I don’t know why you so hesitate at such an age.”
“I know what I should do even though someone threw the divorce papers in my face. She only had sex with you. What do you have to be ashamed of even if she left without a word?”
After the break-up with Emelia, Julian now understands one thing well. A man should let go of his pride and dignity if he wants to win back someone’s heart.
It was evident that Arthur did not understand it. It was not hard to comprehend Arthur. As a famous noble son who had been pampered since childhood, Jean’s silence indeed hurt him.
Arthur glared at Julian, set his mouth in a grim line, and pulled the door to leave.
Emelia sat down next to Julian’s bed, hummed, “You seem unhappy that I proposed divorce to you at the anniversary?”
Julian didn’t hide his emotions. “You made me lose face in front of so many reporters and employees. Can I not be annoyed?”
Emelia averted her eyes, “You would have tortured me again if I hadn’t done that.”
Julian said with guilt, “Was the old me so terrible in your heart?”
Speaking of this, Emelia had a lot of complaints. “Yes. You never said anything when you were upset, but you would punish me with actions. Silence violence, pull your face, and….”
Emelia was too shy to say that he would also fuck her hard in bed. In short, he had all the ways to depress her.
Julian hurriedly promised, “I will change.”
Emelia levelled up her sight at him gently. She believed that he would change, for he would put her feelings first in his heart now.
The phone call from David came at this time. He reported, “Nothing wrong in Eric’s information in the United States, but I’ve checked on the girl who jumped off the building.”
The girl who jumped off the building was Gerhard’s mistress, a college student.
David said, “Her name was Winnie McCarthy, and she had a younger brother.”
“Winnie McCarthy?” Julian frowned, “She has a different surname from Eric.”NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
Julian added, “But we can’t rule out the possibility that Eric has changed his name.”
“Well.” David continued, “Her parents were mocked and spat upon by the villagers back then. Her mother could not bear the insults and committed suicide by jumping into the lake.”
Julian was shocked. “Jumping into the lake?”
Julian could not help but associate Winnie’s mother’s death with Rosalind’s.
“Her father has been sick ever since and died not long after. As for her younger brother, he was sent to an orphanage after his father died, and then he surprisingly disappeared.”
“Disappeared?” Hearing this, Julian instinctively felt that Eric was probably the missing brother of Winnie.
However, after escaping from the orphanage and going abroad, Eric seemed to have worked very hard for being successful now.
“The money that the Hughes family paid out to them was said to have been taken by her uncle after her brother disappeared,” David added.
Immediately, Julian asked in a low voice, “Have you checked if the uncle has suffered anything recently?”
If Eric was really Winnie’s brother, and if the money was obtained illegally by their uncle, Eric would take revenge on the uncle’s family.
Indeed, David complimented that the family was involved in a major car accident a few years ago when they were on a trip. All the members died on the spot.”
At this point, Julian could tell with his insight that Eric was Winnie’s missing brother and that the so-called car accident must have been manipulated by him secretly.
Julian asked again, “How did the police handle that car accident?”
David replied, “The perpetrator was a truck driver driving fatigued, sentenced for five years, but he was found to have advanced liver cancer and died within a year.”
Julian sneered, “It’s Eric’s style, destroying all evidence.”
David said worriedly over the phone, “It’s certain now that Eric is Winnie’s brother, but in that case, it’s the Hughes family he’ll deal with next.”
Instead of the Sullivan family, Gerhard and Heather were the culprits who forced Winnie to die. No one knew what Eric would do since he acted so viciously.
Julian also considered it, and he urged David in a deep voice, “Send more people to keep an eye on him.”
“Okay,” David responded
Julian was about to hang up, but a lousy thought suddenly came to his mind. He immediately ordered, “Find someone to protect grandpa and my mother.”
