Chapter 223 It was Scratched by A Woman
Ezra's excuse of treating him to a meal made Emelia unable to bear it. ‘Mr. Cantillo, I'm really, really flattered."
She had just been publicly recognized as the daughter of the Longerich family. Wasn't it a little too fast for her to deal with social events like this?
She was not used to it at all.
Ezra said very seriously, "Never try to force me. It's just the beginning. In the future, there will be countless people who will contact you and get close to you."
What he said was true.
Although his true goal was to help Julian, in the future, there would be many people who would try to draw her over to their side.
The Longerich family in the capital was not ordinary.
This was a big family that everyone wanted to play up to. From now on, Emelia would be in a lot of trouble in this area.
What was even more ridiculous was that after Emelia was announced to be the daughter of the Longerich family, Ezra's real father also called him, hinting that he could pursue her and marry into her family.
But he directly said that he had someone in his heart, and sent him away.
If he went after Emelia, he would be in great trouble by Julian.
But Emelia still agreed to the meal. On the one hand, it was easy to say that they were familiar with each other. On the other hand, Ezra’s tone was very sincere, so it was
difficult for her to refuse.
After hanging up his phone, she received a strange phone call after a while.
Emelia picked it up in confusion. According to the voice, the other party was a young man in his thirties. He said, ‘Hello, is this Miss Jones?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, his frivolous tone disgusted Emelia. She frowned and asked, ‘Yes, | am. Who are you?"
The man said with a smile, "I'm Quincy Lee from RSC Holdings Limited. Would you like to have dinner with me?'
For amoment, Emelia felt a little embarrassed. Just now, she thought it was a little exaggerated when Ezra said so, but she didn't expect that someone would really come to her now.
She politely refused, "Sorry, | dont know you. I'm afraid | can't have dinner with you."
Emelia did not know him at all. She had never heard of his name, nor had she heard of RSC Holdings Limited.
Most importantly, his tone made her uncomfortable.
Quincy Lee said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if we don't know each other.copy right hot novel pub
We'll know each other after we meet, won't we?"
“I'm really sorry." She hung up after saying that.
Then the other party tried to add her WhatsApp through phone number, but she ignored it.
Emelia felt very annoyed. She saw through the man's intention to contact her at a glance. He just wanted to get close to her. If that was fine, he could pursue her, so that he could see connections to the Longerich family in this way.
Before Vincent set off, he had actually told her something similar. At that time, his tone was very serious. "You are the daughter of our Longerich family who got back. Everyone in this family thinks highly of you, so you don't have to compromise for the interests of our family.
"As you father, I'm also the youngest in the family. I don't have any burden to revitalize the family. My brothers and sisters have all borne it, so it's even more unnecessary for you to do so here.”
Emelia still didn't understand Vincent's words. She didn't think that some people could contact her to get close to her for benefits. She didn't expect that today Quincy Lee would teach her a vivid and realistic lesson.
In the following days, several strange calls came in. Thinking of her previous encounter with Quincy Lee, she didn't pick up the other calls.
In the afternoon, Nina called her gloomily, saying that there were a few socialites and celebrities trying to get in touch with Emelia from her.
Emelia used to visit her often, but at that time, she was just nobody, and no one took her seriously.
Everyone thought that she was Nina's friend. They didn't know that at that time, she was Julian's wife, and she was also an unknown screenwriter in a play played by those stars.
After she was exposed to be Vincent's daughter, many female celebrities thought that she looked familiar. When they thought about it carefully, they found that she was the girl who often visited Nina.
In that instant, they all began to contact Nina, asking for Emelia's contact information.
Hearing this, Emelia had a headache. She also told Nina about Quincy Lee and those strange calls.
Nina complained, “Fuck! That Quincy Lee is a piece of trash and scum! He's just relying on the power in his family and always hooking up with female stars. He's practically a male version of Carotine, whose father's company is about to be ruined by him."
Nina was in the entertainment industry and knew very well about those rich playboys.
Emelia said in distress, "Should I change my phone number?"
Nina said, “It's useless. They used everything they had. Even if you change your number, they'll still be able to find you."
Emelia was depressed. "Then what about me? Will I be harassed by them all day long in the future?"
Nina giggled. "I have a good idea.”
She didn’t understand. "What?"
Nina said, "Make it public that you are Mr. Johansen's girlfriend. At least those men who try to pursue you will give up on you.”
Emelia sighed. Last night, Viggo had said that they had broken off their relationship, but Nina still didn't know about it. Even if it was not the case, she wouldn't be able to make it public. Because if that happened, she would really be entangled with him.
Emelia told Nina about this. Then she sighed and said, “Alright, then there's nothing we can do."
Then Nina suddenly said, "Why don't you agree to Julian's pursuit? In that case, those men will completely give up. I have to admit that he can still be considered one of the outstanding young talents in Riverside City, whether in terms of social status or appearance.”
Emelia simply denied it. "That's even more impossible.”
Every time he thought back to what had happened last night, Emelia wanted to ignore him for the rest of his life.
Last night, she scratched him and hit him, but she was still angry.
“Are you still angry about his hurt to you?" Nina sighed, "To be honest, I think he's such an unreliable person now, and I feel a little sympathetic for him."
“Come on, Nina?" Emelia's heart ached. Her good friend actually said that she sympathized with Julian. She angrily complained, “You don't even know how abominable he is!"
Nina quickly corrected herself, "No, I just have a little sympathy for him. Compared to the harm he inflicted on you back then, what's the point of disregarding him now?"
Only now did Emelia feel a bit better.
After the call with Nina ended, Maisie sent her another message. “President Hughes's neck was scratched by you, right?"
"At the meeting, everyone asked him if he had been scratched by a cat again. Didn't Fluffball scratch the back of his hand last time?"
“However, he said that it was caused by a woman."
“You know, these words are so ambiguous that our company's executives almost forgot the theme of the meeting and kept trying to find out who the woman Mr. Hughes mentioned was."
Emelia was speechless.
"Why is he so shameless?"
