Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart
Chapter 403 Emelia Wants to Help Julian

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."

Julian stood up abruptly. Eyes full of worry, he reached out and tried to take her cell phone.

Emelia dodged and signaled for Julian to calm down.

After Derek said when and where they met, Emelia smiled and hung up the phone.

"You can't have dinner with him," Julian said firmly.

Emelia put down the phone and walked to him, took his arm, and comforted him, "I know you don't want me to be in danger."

Julian had reminded her that Derek might plot against her.

However, Emelia agreed after careful consideration.

"From where I stand, now that they want to do against me, we can take advantage of this chance to catch them all in one go." After Emelia finished speaking, she added with confidence, "I believe you will arrange everything and protect me."

"No." Julian objected. "You can't take risks. What if something goes wrong?"

Julian had a hard time winning Emelia back, so he would protect Emelia from any danger.

Emelia said with a shrug. "We can make a plan in advance. And the police also knew about this. Why not ask them for advice?"

Julian notified the police as soon as he got Larry's information.

It didn't matter if Julian lost this piece of land. However, Julian showed no mercy to anyone who offended him.

"Larry probably wanted to kidnap me and threaten you. If I am kidnapped, we will be able to know where they are hiding. That will save us from a lot of troubles." Emelia continued to persuade Julian because she did want to do Julian a favor.

Failing to change Emelia's mind, Julian then contacted the policeman who was in charge of this case.

After discussing it on the phone for a long time, Julian finally decided to let Emelia go for dinner.

Derek would probably drug the tea, and Emelia would drink it as he wished. The police would arrange plainclothes policemen in the restaurant in advance to protect Emelia.

They would also install a locator on Emelia. Once Derek took Emelia to Larry, the police who followed Derek would be able to capture Larry and Suzanne.

Emelia thought this was feasible, but Julian remained worried.

To relax him, Emelia took the initiative to hug him, tiptoed, and kissed him.

Julian didn't respond at first. Nonetheless, after Emelia kissed him again, he slammed her into his arms, lowered his head, and stuck his tongue down her throat, which made Emelia almost breathless. After the kiss, Julian held Emelia's face and said in a low voice, "Emelia, you must know that we are stuck with each other. If something happens to you, I won't stay alive alone."

"I see." Emelia buried herself in his arms.

A large number of people were in the restaurant where Derek invited Emelia. He might well want to take advantage of the crowds to take her away.

Julian drove Emelia there on time. Julian made a small talk with Derek and pretended that he trusted Derek very much.

Julian said with a smile, "I have an appointment at night, even if I want to join you."

After Julian finished speaking, he turned to look at Emelia. "Derek is a great partner of mine, so you can trust him as much as me. Just enjoy the meal, and I will pick you up later." Emelia waved goodbye to Julian with a calm expression, pretending as if she realized nothing wrong.
