Chapter 240 A Real Noble Lady
Ezra didn’t need to be so careful to remind Julian, and he could still sense the crisis.
Moreover, even without Vincent’s arrangement in the Capital, he always had a sense of crisis, because he really didn’t have any advantage.
Just the fact that he had hurt Emelia was enough to sentence him to death. What’s more, there was Vincent now, which made him dislike him.
After booking the tickets, Julian still felt uneasy, so he called Emelia.
Since he went on a business trip, they had not talked on the phone.
He had made a few video calls, but Emelia didn’t answer. Later, he changed into voice or text messages, but in the end, she didn’t reply after a long time, or replied simply.
After this business trip, he had gained a deep understanding of what was going on. That was, before he could get her back, he would never go on a business trip again, or perhaps he would never be able to say such a long distance away.
It was too painful.
After the call was connected, Julian directly asked Emelia, “Did you go to the Capital?”
Emelia replied lightly. “Yes.”
But in the blink of an eye, Julian’s heart was filled with grief and disappointment. As for him, Emelia had agreed so readily, as though he would accept another man.
He muttered bitterly, “Emelia, are you really going to start over again?”
On the other end, Emelia was completely confused. “What do you mean?”
Julian could only say, “Ezra said that your father arranged a man for you…”
An explanation came from the other end, “We are just friends with common language.”
Although she had explained, it was better not to.
The word “friend with common language” made Julian’s heart sink again.
“Friend with common language” was extremely strange to him, because in his impression, he and Emelia seemed to have never had a good chat.
Otherwise, how could he not know that she liked literature three years after getting married? He did not know that she worked as a part-time screenwriter and had no idea that she had been a genius since she was a child.
Ezra said that this man must have a lot of common interest with Emelia in the cultural department.
For a moment, Julian was heartbroken and didn’t speak for a long time.
“I still have something to do. I’ll hang up first.” Emelia’s hurried voice rang in his ears, and the phone was directly cut off.
Looking at the cut line in his hand, Julian was thoughtful and he pondered deeply, “I can’t continue to be passive like this.”

Emelia’s trip to the Capital was a temporary decision. She did not expect Vincent to really prepare a grand engagement dinner for her.
Vincent said on the phone that he missed her. She had just finished her draft of “Princess Leilania”, so she went to the capital immediately.
It was not until she arrived that she knew that Vincent had prepared a dinner for her.
Since it was confirmed that she was Vincent’s biological daughter, Emelia did not live in a hotel this time. Instead, he directly took her to the house where he and Naomi lived.
Naomi held Emelia in her arms and shed tears for a long time. Later, she pulled her aside and secretly wiped her tears, saying, “I can’t give your father a child and I feel very sorry about it. Your appearance finally untied the knot in my heart.”
Naomi never cared that Emelia was not her biological daughter. After finding out that she could not have children, she took the initiative to mention divorce to Vincent, but he disagreed.
Later, she also persuaded Vincent to find a woman to give birth to a child for him. She could raise that child as her own child.
However, she was scolded by Vincent. He said that he could not do such an immoral thing.
Now, Emelia happened to appear. She perfectly inherited Vincent’s excellent genes in literature, and her mild temperament was exactly the same as his. Most importantly, she was the child of Vincent and his beloved girl, which made Naomi feel that it was so perfect.
Therefore, there was no unfamiliarity between Naomi and Emelia, but only love, and even gratitude.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Emelia could understand how Naomi felt, so she didn’t say anything to comfort her. She just gently hugged her.
Emelia knew that Naomi’s so-called regret was because she loved Vincent too much.
In the evening, the Longerich family held a grand dinner party in the hotel. They invited many celebrities from all walks of life to attend and officially announced Emelia’s identity to the public.
All of Emelia’s activities in the banquet were arranged by Naomi. Emelia had told Vincent that there was no need to be so grand, but Vincent and the Longerich family insisted on doing it.
Emelia chose to respect the wishes of Vincent and the elders of the Longerich family. She was willing to do everything according to Vincent because she knew that everything he did must be for her own good.
At the dinner, Emelia wore a crescent-white dress. And the old Mrs. Longerich, known as Lady Dorothy, gave her another set of jewelry. This time, it was a set of rubies, which made Emelia so shocked that she couldn’t speak.
She, she really couldn’t bear this “heavy” love. The ruby ring could be called a pigeon egg. She even felt that her fingers would be broken after she put it on.
She didn’t want to accept such a valuable gift anymore, so she quickly said to the old lady, “Grandma, I know you love me. I’ll accept your kindness, but I don’t need the gift anymore.”
Lady Dorothy insisted, “I thought that it would be more suitable to give you some diamond-type jewelry when you are young. But I didn’t expect that when you came out in this white dress today, I just wanted to give you this set of jewelry.”
The old lady added, “You can wear a ruby earring tonight. It suits you very well. You can keep the rest for yourself and wear it on appropriate occasions.”
Emelia still wanted to refuse, but Naomi teased her. “The old lady gave you two sets of her heirlooms. Even her own daughter doesn’t get such opportunity.”
As soon as Naomi finished speaking, Vincent’s two sisters, namely Emelia’s aunt, pursed their lips and smiled. No one was jealous of Emelia at all. Everyone present was not short of these things.
Secondly, everyone really loved Emelia and Vincent, their youngest brother.
The whole family was happy for him for having such an adorable daughter all of a sudden since they had never any children at such old age.
Lady Dorothy was too enthusiastic, so Emelia could only accept this precious gift again.
But this time, she said to the old lady seriously, “Grandma, don’t give me such a valuable gift in the future, or I won’t dare to come to the Capital.”
The old lady smiled lovingly and said, “Okay, okay, I won’t see you off.”
But in her heart, she thought, “Next time, the gift will not be so expensive.”
The moment Emelia, who was holding Vincent’s arm at the dinner party, appeared, everyone was stunned.
The crescent-white evening gown made her gentle temperament even more eye-catching.
There were two beautiful ruby ornaments on her earlobe, which made people wow in their heart: She was a real noble lady.
Even though she had been living on her own outside for so many years, the charm and characteristics she inherited from the Longerich family were not reduced at all.
