Chapter 251 | Feel Terrible
Chapter 251 | Feel Terrible
Julian didn't expect that one day, his parents, who he had been supporting dutifully, had plotted against
him in secret.
When he thought of how Yvonne had deliberately sat beside him at the dinner party and how the
shoulder straps of her dress had suddenly been broken, he felt that he was a complete fool.
Hearing Julian's brief description, Ezra was also surprised. "I knew it was a little weird. | didn't expect it
to be arranged by them deliberately."
Ezra had not known much about Yvonne and Heather before. It was what had happened recently that
had him see through them.
Out of the instinctive sensitivity of businessmen, Ezra reminded Julian to investigate. It turned out that
he was right.
Seeing Julian's sadness, Ezra patted him on the shoulder to comfort him. "Forget it. Don't be sad. In
this world, there are parents who really love their children, and there are also parents who only care
about themselves. You are not lucky enough to have such parents.”
"Join the club. My father is also a bastard.” There was no sadness in his tone except self-mockery.
He had long disregarded these so-called family ties, which were just a kind of backscratching veiled by
consanguinity.
When the Cantillo family had exiled him and his mother abroad, no one had ever cared about them.
Now that the current hostess of the Cantillo family could not have a son, she had to acknowledge him,
who was an illegitimate child, as a member of the Cantillo family and rely on him to take over the family
business.
He was nicely described by the Cantillo family as a lost son returning home, though in truth the family
had no choice but to acknowledge him because they didn't want their family business to be taken over
by outsiders.
Hearing Ezra's words, Julian sneered at himself. Then he drank up a glass of wine.
Yes, there were many kinds of people, but he was not lucky enough to have the parents who really
loved the children.
If he had children in the future, he would never put them into such a painful and sad situation. He would
definitely treat them as apples of his eye and give them the best things in the world, so that they could
live in the happiest and most beautiful family.
At ten o'clock at night, after washing up, Emelia went to bed and got ready to sleep.
Her life had been tough these days, and she needed to have a good sleep and rest.
However, as soon as she lay down, the doorbell rang.
In confusion, Emelia put on her clothes and went downstairs.
Seeing Julian standing outside the door, she didn't know what to say.
Perhaps she should be glad that he did not enter through the window this time but seriously knocked
on the door.
"It's so late, you-" After opening the door expressionlessly, she was about to ask him why he came at
such a late hour, but Julian stepped forward and directly held her in his arms.
“Emelia, I feel terrible." He sounded sad and disappointed.
Emelia's first reaction was that he got sick again. "What's wrong? Do you have a fever again?"
Emelia could smell the strong stench of alcohol from him. She immediately said in a somewhat angry
voice, "Julian, you haven't recovered from your cold yet, but you drank so much wine. You put yourself
into this!"
As soon as Emelia finished speaking, she suddenly felt wet on her shoulder, and she froze there.
Julian was... Was he crying?
“Julian, are you..." For a moment, Emelia didn't know what to say, nor did she know how to describe
her feelings.
She could feel that Julian was extremely depressed at the moment, so she did not drive him away. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Instead, she said softly, “How about coming in first?"
It was awkward for them two to hug each other like this at the door. Emelia could only let him in first.
Hearing that, Julian let go of her and strode into her house.
Noticing the redness in his eyes, Emelia was indeed shocked.
How could Julian cry?
She thought that he was invincible and nothing could hurt him.
After entering, Julian sat down on the sofa in the living room. However, he raised his hand to cover his
eyes and leaned against the back of the sofa. Emelia was not sure about his feeling at the moment.
After closing the door, she poured a glass of warm water for him.
“Thank you." Julian took his hand and thanked Emelia in a low voice.
After a while, he seemed to have calmed down a lot. The tears in the corners of his eyes disappeared.
While he was drinking water, Emelia asked him in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
She always avoided caring about Julian, but he seemed to be really unwell tonight. Whether as a
neighbor or an ordinary friend, or a business partner, she should care about him.
Julian didn't answer her question directly. Instead, he looked up at her and asked, “If one day I lose
everything and I am not President of the Hughes Group, will you still love me?" Emelia was taken
aback.
His question seemed to be a trap. He was President of the Hughes Group now, but she never said that
she loved him.
Whether she loved him or not had nothing to do with whether he was President of the Hughes Group.
Therefore, she felt his question was a trap, trapping her saying she loved him.
Even though he looked fragile now, he was no less aggressive to her.
She naturally wanted to avoid this topic, so she asked him, “What's wrong with your company?"
Julian pursed his lips and said nothing.
Emelia didn't think the company had any problem.
Julian was very capable, and he had always been very diligent with his work. It was impossible for him
to bring trouble to the Hughes Group.
Suddenly, a bad possibility came to her mind. She immediately asked nervously, "Is Randolph making
trouble for you?"
Julian put down the glass in his hand and said drily, "If It's just he that plans to cause trouble, I won't be
like this."
He had never been afraid of anything, let alone Randolph.
What made him extremely sad tonight was that Gerhard and Heather's secretly plotting against him.
Julian then told Emelia about the past and his story with Yvonne. For a long time, Emelia couldn't calm
down.
She had never thought that Gerhard and Heather had driven someone to death. However, thinking of
Heather's relentless torture of her, she could also imagine how aggressive Heather had been at that
time.
Emelia was even more shocked that the couple had deliberately got Julian and Yvonne together.
It was no wonder that he was so sad to have been plotted against by his own parents.
In fact, it should be all right for parents to introduce other halves for their children, but it was obvious
that Gerhard and
Heather did this just for themselves. They wanted to use their son's marriage to get closer to Randolph,
so that he could continue to keep their secret.
She had thought that Julian and Yvonne had fallen in love at first sight at the dinner party, so they loved
each other so much that Julian would marry no one else except Yvonne ..
