Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart
Chapter 404 A Narrow Escape

Derek graciously invited Emelia into the box. Emelia said, "Derek, how do you feel now? On the safe side, you should have spent more time in the hospital." Derek said, "It's not a big problem. The older I get, the weaker I will be. It doesn't matter if I don't get angry."

"As long as you're all right," Emelia said.

After the dishes were served, Derek asked Emelia to help herself. They began to chat and eat.

As expected, Derek drugged Emelia. Emelia felt a little dizzy at the end of the dinner. And then she collapsed on the table as if she was drunk.

Derek beckoned a waitress and asked her to help Emelia out.

Emelia remained conscious, but her strength left her.

Derek deliberately asked the waitress to help Emelia out so that the others would not suspect him or call the police.

After Emelia was helped into Derek's car, Derek asked the driver to drive away. Derek looked at Emelia and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Miss Jones. I have no choice."

"I can't watch Suzanne being tortured."

Emelia felt limp and couldn't say anything. She pretended to look frightened, though she was not afraid at all.

Derek was very cautious. He turned off her mobile phone at once.

Nevertheless, Julian installed the high-tech GPS locator from the police somewhere on Emelia's body. The locator was so small that Derek didn't replace it when checking Emelia's clothes and handbag. Emelia felt pathetic when she was sure that Derek was involved in this matter.

Derek was too stupid. Larry was suspected of kidnapping and extortion. As an accomplice, Derek wouldn't be able to get away with punishment.

Derek's car galloped all the way. After turning a few corners, they finally arrived at an industrial park, which Derek wanted to sell.

The most dangerous place, to some extent, was the safest. No one had expected Larry to hide here.

Julian drove the car with a long face and followed Derek silently.

His palms were covered with sweat.

Julian wanted Derek to meet up with Larry quickly so that Julian could rush to save Emelia.

However, something went wrong after the car arrived outside the park.

Derek's car could get into the factory, but Julian's and the police cars couldn't.

Julian frowned. Two policemen in his car quickly made a decision. "Mr. Hughes, get closer to the wall. We can go over the wall."

Julian was thinking the same thing, so he turned the steering wheel and drove the car there.

Nonetheless, he got out of the car with the policemen and said with a firm look, "Let me go with you."

The policemen were a little surprised. In their opinion, a man like Julian would never do such thing as scaling the wall. Also, they didn't think Julian could do them a favor.

Julian knew what they were thinking, but he didn't bother to explain. Instead, he took off his coat and threw it aside.

It was inconvenient to climb over the wall with it.

Having thrown away his coat, Julian took a few steps back, and then climbed over the wall after running and jumping. The policemen were stunned for a moment. They looked at each other and then climbed over the wall as well.

They jumped onto the factory yard, hid themselves, determined where Derek's car was according to the engine and moved toward it quickly.

A thin middle-aged man walked out of the factory and complained dissatisfiedly, "What took you so long here?"

Derek did not get out of the car, and neither did Emelia.

Derek rolled down the window and said to Larry, "Take Suzanne out. I can give you Emelia while I must take Suzanne away."

Larry sneered and stepped aside. "Maybe she is unwilling to go with you."

"Knowing that you bring Emelia here, she is looking forward to making a fool of Emelia." Larry hinted that Suzanne would not go with Derek.

But Derek didn't give up and shouted to the factory through the car window, "Suzanne, hurry up and go with me!"

However, Suzanne replied to him casually, "Grandpa, just leave Emelia here and go. The rest has nothing to do with you."

Derek was heartbroken. Before he could say something, Larry kicked the car door irritably. "Hurry up and give her to me! Or I'll blast your head!" Derek was trembling with anger. "Are you gonna kill your own father?"

Larry kicked again. "Cut the crap! Give me the girl! "

Not far away, Julian and two policemen had got ready. As soon as Derek and Emelia got out of the car, they would rush over.

But now that Derek didn't get out of the car, they could do nothing but wait.

If Derek was frightened, Emelia might well be in danger. After all, Derek's driver was tall and strong. Julian didn't want Emelia to be in danger.

Thus, Julian and the policemen held their breath and waited for Derek to get out of the car with Emelia.

Derek had no choice but to open the car door in the end.

Hardly had Derek poked his head out when he was rudely pulled out by Larry. Derek stumbled and fell to the ground, blood dripping from his forehead.

Larry paid no attention to that. Instead, he hurriedly got into the car and picked up Emelia.

The drug began to wear off, so Emelia could stand on her feet.

Larry looked Emelia up and down and said, "You look more beautiful than on TV. Look at your pretty face..."

As Larry spoke, he tried to touch Emelia's face. To his surprise, Emelia suddenly bent her knees and hit hard against his crotch. Although Emelia's power left her, Larry instinctively took a step back. However, hardly had Larry kept his balance when a man kicked Larry on the leg from behind him. Larry fell to the ground in pain.00☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
