Chapter 74 Infuriated by Emelia
“Who is it?”
There was indeed someone inside, and the voice was indeed Emelia’s. Heather and Caroline looked at each other and smiled.
Emelia opened the door and saw Heather and Caroline. Slightly surprised first, but she quickly calmed down.
Standing gracefully at the entrance, she asked politely, “What’s up?”
Caroline glared at her and said, “Emelia, you are so arrogant now. How dare you hang up my mother’s phone?”
Emelia said calmly. “Why not? Should I have to wait to be insulted?”
Heather sneered and said, “Why shouldn’t I scold you after you have shamelessly seduced Julian?”
Emelia snorted at her words. She crossed her arms and looked at Heather and Caroline, saying in an unfriendly tone. “Mrs. and Miss Hughes, please listen carefully.”
“First of all, I have never taken the initiative to approach Julian since the divorce, so there is no seduction like you said.
“Second, I have nothing to do with you now, so you are not entitled to educate me. I have the right to hang up the phone.”
Heather had not expected Emelia to be so sharp-tongued and defiant. She had been always obedient, but now, she was completely different.
She was so angry that she raised her hand, intending to slap Emelia.
However, the moment she reached out her hand, Emelia aimed the camera at her.
Emelia took a step back and calmly said to Heather with her phone in hand, “Mrs. Hughes, with all due respect, we have something called the Internet now. As long as the video of you hitting me is spread out, your personal image will be shattered immediately.”
“Maybe it will affect the stock price of your son’s company too. Think twice about it.”
Heather withdrew hand due to her words. To be exact, she was threatened.
As powerful as Heather was, she never thought that the weak and easily bullied Emelia would do like this.
Now, it was not clever for her to continue making troubles for Emelia, nor was it okay for her to retreat and leave with Caroline in disgrace.
After a while, she raised her hand and touched her chest in anger. “Ouch.” Then she fainted.
“Mom! Mom…” Caroline began to cry bitterly.
She stepped forward to support Heather. After putting her against the wall and putting her down, she desperately shouted Heather’s name, who did not respond at all.
Caroline wiped away her tears, got up, and rushed to Emelia. “Emelia, you bitch. You got my mother pass out. You have to pay for it!”
Emelia slapped Caroline hard on the face and raised her voice. “Caroline, what you should do now is to call an ambulance and save your mother!”
Caroline was stunned for a few seconds by her slap, and then she quickly took out her phone to call the ambulance.
While waiting for the ambulance to arrive, Caroline called Julian.
She yelled hysterically, “Julian, Emelia provoked Mom and she fainted. Are you still standing on her side?”
Compared with Caroline’s out-of-control, Emelia was calm and rational throughout the whole process. Her phone was recording all the time.
Otherwise, with Caroline’s ability to confuse right and wrong, she would not be able to justify herself.
Because of the short distance, Julian almost arrived at the same time with the ambulance.
After the doctor put Heather onto the stretcher and took her away, Julian frowned and asked Emelia, “What happened?”
Emelia pointed above his head. “The CCTV and the video on my phone will explain everything. I have nothing else to say.”
Because Heather and Caroline had made such a scene, Emelia felt Julian even more repulsive. After she finished speaking, she bypassed him and left.
Julian could clearly feel that her disgust for him had increased once again.
Maisie, who came back with him, felt that it would be difficult to explain clearly in a short time, so she said to Julian, “Mr. Hughes, how about you going to the hospital to have a look first.”
Julian could only drive away temporarily.
After Julian left, Maisie went home to see Emelia.
Emelia curled up on the sofa and crossed her arms. Maisie was not sure if she was crying.
Pouring a cup of warm water, Maisie sat down beside her and asked with concern, “Are you alright?”
Emelia raised her head and took the water. She said softly, “Thank you.”
Seeing that her eyes were red and feeling her hands were cold, Maisie couldn’t help feeling sorry.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Emelia drank some water, and only then did she feel her body grow warm.
When Heather fainted just now, she looked calm, but in fact, she was so scared that her hands and feet were cold.
If Heather was fine, it would be fine. But if something really happened, she…
Maisie comforted her. “There shouldn’t be anything with her. I heard that she has been in poor health all these years. And since the affair of Mr. Hughes’ father, her temper has changed a lot.”
Which woman would not be provoked by her husband’s cheating?
Maisie asked Emelia what had happened. Emelia said helplessly, “I was writing my script at home when I received Heather’s call. She cursed me on the phone, so I hung up.”
“Then somehow, she and Caroline found me here. We said a few words and then she became angry and was about to hit me, so I turned on the video function of my mobile phone.”
Emelia handed her phone to Maisie. “The rest is all here.”
After Maisie finished watching the video on the phone, she couldn’t help shaking her head. She said, “Mrs. Hughes’ behavior really went the opposite of her identiy.”
How could she as a gentlewoman of a powerful family cursed someone on the phone and even came in person to beat her?
However, in the past few years when she worked for Julian, Maisie had also met many ladies of the upper class, many of whom looked down on others, especially when they faced people like her and Emelia who had no status or background.
Heather and Caroline treated Emelia this way, first because Emelia had no prominent background, secondly because they thought that Emelia had no courage to resist and was at their mercy.
Emelia said in a self-deprecating tone, “I seriously have no idea how I have offended them again.”
Maisie pondered for a while, then looked at her and said, “I know why they made trouble for you.”
“Mr. Hughes asked Caroline out for lunch at noon and told her he would send her abroad.” As Julian’s right-hand assistant, Maisie was well aware of these things.
She had booked the table for Julian, and had arranged for Caroline to go abroad.
Emelia was surprised. “Send Caroline abroad?”
Maisie nodded. “Yes.”
She explained, “Your brother knew your address from Caroline.”
Emelia was surprised again, but soon she calmed down. Considering Caroline’s character, she would indeed do that against her.
Maisie looked at Emelia and tried to put in a good word for her boss. “Mr. Hughes… I think, he doesn’t want her to stay at home and continue to make trouble for you.”
Although Julian never said what he was thinking about Emelia, Maisie felt that the boss probably wanted to show his goodwill to Emelia. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been on her side every time recently.
