After throwing a fit, Larry took out his mobile phone and made a call to Derek.
When the connection was made, Larry grabbed Suzanne's hair and pulled her over. Suzanne screamed in pain at once.
Derek said bitterly at the other end. "Bastard! What are you trying to do? She is your biological daughter!"
Larry sneered. "So what? I am your biological son. But you don't care about me at all!"
Derek was at a loss for words. After a while, he said helplessly, "I have given you the seals, so what do you want now?"
Derek put his hand on his chest and trembled.
Derek didn't want to be at the mercy of Larry, but Suzanne was the hostage.
The first time Larry asked Derek for the seals, Derek refused. And then Larry slapped Suzanne on the phone.
Suzanne was brought up by Derek. Even though Derek knew that Suzanne and Larry were in the same boat, Derek couldn't help worrying about her, so he gave them the seals.
Suzanne and Larry took good advantage of Derek's weakness.
Therefore, when Larry slapped Suzanne, Derek was heartbroken.
Larry said viciously on the phone, "I want you to invite Emelia out for me. If we can kidnap her, Julian will be at our mercy!"
"You want to kidnap Emelia? She's just a woman. You can't..." Before Derek finished speaking, Larry slapped Suzanne hard again, and Suzanne burst into tears right away.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry for what I did. Please help me."
"He's really going to kill me. He's crazy..."
Hearing this, Derek had no choice but to agree. After that, Larry hung up the phone with satisfaction.
Soon after, Emelia received the call from Derek.
Derek had never called Emelia before, so Emelia was a little surprised when she answered the phone and saw that it was Derek.
"Derek?" Emelia asked in confusion, "What can I do for you?"
Whatever happened between Julian and Derek should have nothing to do with Emelia, so Emelia wondered why Derek called her.
Julian, who was next to Emelia, narrowed his eyes when he heard this. He immediately motioned for Emelia to turn on the speakerphone.
After Emelia did as Julian asked, Derek said on the phone, "Miss Jones, I want to invite you to dinner."
"Dinner?" Emelia was even more confused.
On the contrary, Julian guessed what Derek intended to do at once, so he hurriedly shook his head at Emelia, gesturing for Emelia to refuse.
Julian thought Derek was plotting against Emelia.
Derek said very apologetically, "I'm so sorry for what Suzanne did to Mr. Hughes. You must be upset, so I want to invite you to dinner as an apology."
Julian shook his head at Emelia again, gesturing for her to refuse.
Emelia stared at him and said, "Okay, then let's make a date."
