Chapter 105 Unspeakable frustration
If it wasn't for her calmness and reason, Emelia would have splashed the wine in Julian's face.
Although she restrained herself, she would no longer knuckle under to him.
Facing Julian's displeased gaze, she smiled, and then said calmly, "Yes, I'm just trying to gain attention from everyone." "I want all eyes on me. I want them to invest in my scripts. In that way, I can become famous. What's wrong with that?" Since he thought she was the kind of unscrupulous person, she might as well confirm his opinion.
Anyway, now that he had nothing to do with her, why would she bother to explain anything?
Hearing Emelia admit it uncharacteristically, Julian pursed his lips in silence.
He frowned and stared at Emelia. His dark eyes reflected no light that no one could see the emotions inside.
Viggo chimed in at the right moment, "Mr. Johansen, Mr. Cantillo, we have something else to do. Please excuse us"
After Viggo finished speaking, he took Emelia away. Emelia turned around decisively without giving Julian another look.
After walking away for a few steps, Viggo asked Emelia in a low voice, "Are you okay?"
Julian's words were really mean.
Normally, for a powerful man like Julian, he should know very well what was inappropriate to say in a certain occasion. But why did he hurt Emelia like that?
The only explanation was that he cared about her so much that even his judgement was affected by it.
Emelia smiled and replied, "I'm fine."
She was really fine.
At first, she was really annoyed by Julian's words, but she was soon relieved.
Viggo sighed, "Mr. Hughes seems to be targeting you deliberately, I don't know he was doing this out of love or hate..."
Emelia gave a self-mocking dry laugh, "How could it be love? It must be hatred and disgust."
He hated her, so he said all those words to sneer at her.
Behind them, Ezra took a sip of wine and asked Julian in confusion, "Well, why do you have to hurt each other like that?"
It's true that Julian's words hurt Emelia, but Emelia's admission without defending herself also hurt Julian.
Because she didn't even bother to defend herself, it meant that she didn't care about Julian at all.
But in Ezra's opinion, Julian just stewed in his own juice.
He did say those mean words. He asked for it.
Julian was clearly surprised by Emelia's outfit today.
He didn't want her to be so conspicuous and be stared by so many men, but what he blurted out was nothing but harsh words. Typical Julian, his bark was worse than his bite.
There was a faint trace of annoyance in Julian's eyes, and an indescribable feeling of frustration rose in his heart.
Recently, everything he did in front of Emelia seemed to be wrong. This was something never happened in his thirty-two years of life.
Ezra raised his hand and patted his shoulder, and spoke earnestly, "This is what they called karma. If you still stick to the arrogant attitude like you treated Emelia before, I'm afraid the relationship between the two of you will become worse and worse."
Then, Ezra left to talk with others.
Julian raised his head and drank his wine. Suddenly he saw Yvonne walking towards him.
Yvonne stayed in the bathroom for a long time and couldn't get through to Caroline, so she had no choice but to come out in a low mood.
She originally wanted to stay away from those ladies who had just talked to her and secretly went to find Caroline.
Unexpectedly, they saw her, and they were asking her to go over again.
Yvonne gritted her teeth and decided to take the initiative to talk to Julian.
For one thing, she could stay away from those ladies; for another, she also wanted to have a serious conversation with Julian.
So she smiled at the ladies, and walked towards Julian.
As soon as she came out of the bathroom, she saw Julian and Ezra talking to Emelia and Viggo with wine in their hands. She bit her lip and staring at them, for fear that something would happen between Julian and Emelia in public.
Unexpectedly, they had just said a few words, and then Viggo left with Emelia.
Julian was awkward, as if he was having a bad conversation with Emelia.
Yvonne breathed out a sigh of relief. She was the one benefited the most from this when Julian couldn't get along with Emelia.
Yvonne walked up to Julian with her skirt lifted. But Julian just glanced at her coldly, "Is something wrong?"
Yvonne's eyes turned red in a sudden. With begging tone and attitude, she looked at Julian and pleaded, "Julian, let's talk, okay?"
Julian gave her another look, then pursed his lips and turned and walked out of the ballroom. Yvonne could only follow up closely.
In the garden outside the banquet hall, Yvonne stopped and sobbed in a low voice, "Julian, I really know I was wrong. I swear that I will never do anything to Emelia again."
Julian said lightly, "The problem between us has nothing to do with Emelia."
Yvonne cried even more fiercely. Julian added, "Yvonne, the relationship between us is completely over."
"It's been four years since we broke up.
During the time after my divorce, I tried to accept you again. But in the end, I found that we were so different in almost everything."
Four years was not a short time, enough to exhaust the weak relationship between the two.
Yvonne couldn't accept what she heard. She stepped forward and grabbed Julian tightly, crying as if her spirit collapsed, "Julian, I really can't live without you!"
"I can make a change. I can change anything for you!" At this moment, Yvonne tried her best to retain Julian.
But Julian let go of her hand with no expression. He just turned around and walked away.
Yvonne covered her face with her hands and burst into tears.
When she broke up with Julian and entered the entertainment industry with confidence, she couldn't have imagined that one day Julian would give her up...
If she had known she would be abandoned one day, she would never have broken up with him or even married Julian.
It's so sad that there is no "what if" in the reality...
Yvonne was crying so hard that her makeup was smeared. She had to go to the bathroom first to touch up her makeup. Coincidentally, as soon as she walked into the bathroom, she met Emelia who was about to leave after washing her hands. Emelia was a little surprised when she saw Yvonne's crying look.
In her impression, Yvonne was always bright, elegant and dignified at all times. What happened to her today?
But that's not what she should be curious about. She quickly withdrew her gaze and looked away.
When Yvonne saw Emelia, she was agitated, because it reminded her how embarrassed she was at the moment. She stepped forward, grabbed Emelia and shouted, "Stop!" Emelia was dragged by Yvonne and almost fall down. She pulled her arm out as soon as she found her balance.
"What are you doing? Are you insane?" Emelia was furious.
She stayed away from her and those ladies all night. And she was having a unhappy conversation with Julian. But what had she done to provoke Yvonne?
It's bullshit!
"I'm insane?" Yvonne shouted, raising her voice, "I became like this because of you!"
Emelia asked her with her arms around arms, "Wait, did something happen between you and Julian? And you are harassing me because of this."
Yvonne scolded, "So what! Aren't you doing dirty stuff behind my back?"
