Chapter 319 Confrontation Face to Face
As Caroline urged Eric to finish his drink, her eyelids became heavy, and she fell asleep gradually. Eric immediately took a step back, and Caroline, who had lost his support, fell to the ground at once.
She could not feel the pain since she was unconscious.
Eric made a phone call with a glass of wine in one hand, and three men came into the room no soon, with one of them carrying a camera.
Eric explained with no expression, “I’ll leave the person to you and film when you’re fucking her.”
“Okay.”
It wasn’t long after Eric left that he heard men breathe thick.
Eric sipped his wine leisurely, delighted by the unexpected smoothness of his plan.
Caroline was so stupid and impulsive that he hadn’t even played her much before she came to him on her own, so he could take her as a hostage.
Regretfully, Heather escaped.
However, with Caroline as a bargaining chip in hand, he could naturally deal with Heather later.
Julian had most likely found out something now that he took away Heather. Still, it was not a big deal as long as he insisted on not admitting his identity.
Anyway, he wanted to die with them.
After hanging up, Julian had a severe headache. He even felt dizzy for a while, which immediately frightened Emelia, who immediately called the doctor.
The doctor said it was probably caused by blood clots in his brain that pressed on his nerves. Still, judging from the CT scan, the congestion was dissipating. However, Julian should avoid being too emotional right now.
It was clear that Julian had just been infuriated by Caroline’s stupidity.
After the doctor left, Emelia held Julian’s hand and said worriedly, “Don’t think about those things for a while, rest.”
Ever since he had vaguely sensed Eric’s identity, he hadn’t rested well.
In the morning, he, a sick man, had even woken up earlier than she did and was outside in the small living room on the phone.
Julian could see Emelia’s concern for himself and honestly responded, “Okay.”
With such a dangerous Eric, he could not fall. Otherwise, no one would protect Emelia.
Looking at Emelia’s tearful eyes, Vincent sighed secretly.
His precious daughter was now clearly reverting to her Love for Julian, so he could not object to them.
He did not intend to but allow her, as long as she was willing.
Since Julian had to rest, Vincent and the cousin left for the hotel, and Julian told someone to take them back.
The cousin asked, “Didn’t we want to bring Emelia back this time? Why didn’t you mention it just now?”
Vincent shook his head, “Look at how nervous she is about Julian. Can she just go with us easily? Let’s stay a few more days.”Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
Vincent also felt that fate had taken its toll on her. A while ago, their relationship was still lukewarm. Julian had tragically waited at the doorstep in the pouring rain a bit further back in time. He was later drenched with rain that caused him into a high fever.
Vincent thought it was a tested love now that they were so close like this.
The cousin laughed, “If grandma knew that Emelia had fallen in love with Julian again, she might be despondent.”
After all, her love for Emelia was evident because she had given her two sets of jewelry worth a lot of money. Also, she asked them to introduce a good man to Emelia for avoiding Emelia choosing Julian again. However, they seemed to fail.
Vincent said in no good mood, “Am I not sad?”
He was not happy with his son-in-law, but there was nothing he could do about it.
After Vincent left, Julian did sleep under Emelia’s supervision, and he felt much more comfortable and sober when he woke up.
Julian pondered before getting the phone, “I’ll call Caroline.”
Emelia nodded, hoping that Caroline would listen to Julian correctly, sober up and leave Eric in a hurry. Otherwise, she would lose her life.
Although she loathed Caroline, she didn’t want her to die in an unclear way like Rosalind.
Julian couldn’t resist frowning at the calls that were never answered.
After several times, it was finally picked up.
However, the man’s voice rang with a bit of smugness in its mockery, “What’s up, Julian?”
Surprisingly, it was Eric. Julian immediately asked in a cold voice, “Where is Caroline?”
“She is tired and having a rest,” Eric said so vaguely that Julian knew what Caroline had done with Eric as soon as he heard it.
“Wake her up. I want to hear her voice.” He was worried that something had already happened to Caroline.
However, Eric refused, “She is exhausted and has just fallen asleep. I can’t bear to wake her up. Don’t worry, I’ll have her call you back when she wakes up.”
It was strange not being tired after a foursome.
He was calm because he did not want to let Caroline die now.
Julian suppressed his fury and roared low, “Eric!”
If he hadn’t been afraid that Emelia would be worried about him, he would have angrily yelled out.
Eric was still indifferent, “How about tell me first if you have anything to say to her? I’ll pass it on.”
Obviously, Eric would not allow him to speak to Caroline now. He calmed down and changed his tone, “I should call you Finn McCarthy, right?”
“Finn McCarthy?” Eric laughed, “Are you joking, Mr. Hughes? My name is Eric Yeung. Why would you give me another name?”
Eric was too steadfast to be moved, so Julian did not plan to expose him only with the name.
Still, he continued, “I guess you want to avenge your sister and your dead parents, right?”
Eric still sounded as if nothing was wrong. “I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
Julian sneered, “Have you ever thought it takes two to tango? How would your sister have fallen in love with a man as old as my father if she was not greedy?”
Julian deliberately suggested that Winnie was a gold-digger to provoke Eric. The latter would defend Winnie since he was so obsessed with the incident of her sister.
Indeed, although Eric tried his best to restrain his emotions, Julian noticed that his breathing had become heavier.
