Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart

Chapter 103 Tricks

Emelia attended the charity dinner, and Yvonne was there as well.

Julian turned down the invitation. Yvonne could only ask Caroline to go with her so that she could

maintain her identity of a future member of the Hughes family.

Everyone thought that Yvonne was going to marry into the Hughes family since she got along so well

with Caroline.

Yvonne was in a white strapless gown, intentionally showing her cleavage.

Of course, showing a little flesh to get ahead in the career was pretty normal in the entertainment circle.

The color white really suited Yvonne's style.

Caroline also looked beautiful in a dusty pink dress. It matched her skin tone.

The two immediately swarmed into a group of women the minute they made it to the venue.

"Julian didn't come with you?" a woman asked Yvonne, smiling.

Caroline cut in before Yvonne could make up an answer, "You know Julian. He is just a workaholic. I

don't know what Yvonne sees in him."

Yvonne smiled elegantly, "Men should focus on the career."

The reason why Caroline was sensible enough to defend Yvonne was that Heather had asked her to

help Yvonne maintain a good image in advance.

Plus, Yvonne had promised her the greatest benefits after Yvonne married into the Hughes family.

So, she naturally would help Yvonne. Although Caroline didn't care about the money, she couldn't

stand it when Julian deducted her allowance every time she got in trouble.

If Yvonne, her best friend, got to hold the Hughes family's wallet, she would give Caroline a great deal

of money then.

Hearing Caroline and Yvonne's words, the group of women was convinced that Julian marrying

Yvonne.

Another woman glanced at Yvonne's flat belly and whispered to her curiously, "Yvonne, why did you

step off-screen all of a sudden? Are you pregnant? "

The word "pregnant" flustered Yvonne's heart. She was a little nervous about her flimsy lie being

exposed.

She made up an excuse of her being pregnant to drive a wedge between Emelia and Julian. Yvonne

was afraid that Julian would find out about this because she didn't know how to face him if he really did.

The fact that she and Julian had never slept together before made her even jumpier.

"No. Stop it," Yvonne replied with a polite smile.

The group of women laughed and congratulated her, reminding Yvonne to invite them to her and

Julian's wedding.

Thinking about the dilemma she was in, Yvonne hated Emelia even more.

Yvonne gnashed her teeth. When she looked up, she saw Emelia entering from the door, holding

Viggo's arm. Their arrival made quite a stir in the venue because...

Emelia looked fabulous.

Yvonne couldn't believe her eyes. She stared at Emelia for some time, couldn't shift her gaze away.

It was probably because Emelia had never dressed up like this, so everyone was stunned by the

sudden change of her style.

Yvonne still remembered how dazzling Emelia looked in that red dress at the Hughes Group's

anniversary party.

The low whispers of the staff praising Emelia's good look after she left the venue that day echoed in

Yvonne's head.

Someone even said that Emelia was more beautiful than Yvonne, the most popular actress who was

constantly involved in scandalous rumors with Julian.

Hearing that, she was so angry and jealous that her nail sank into her palm.

Caroline also saw Emelia, so she dragged Yvonne to the side. "Has she no shame? She is not

qualified to be here!" Caroline said crossly.

Yvonne sneered, "She came with Viggo, didn't she? She is Viggo's favorite screenwriter after all."

"I guess she found a way to Viggo's bed. She just had to play it dirty. Gross," said Caroline with a

contemptuous look on her face.

“I'll go talk to her,” Caroline hummed coldly.

"Don't." Yvonne stopped her.

"Why not?" Caroline was puzzled.

"Julian will get mad at you if you embarrass her in public." Caroline bought Yvonne's pretense of

worrying about her and was deeply touched. Now, she wanted to pick on Emelia even more.

Emelia wasn't bothered by Caroline and Yvonne's hostility against her. She couldn't care less about

them.

Viggo introduced her to many producers, famous directors, and professional screenwriters. She was

too busy chatting with them to even notice Caroline and Yvonne's presence.

After that, Viggo took Emelia aside to get some fresh air.

He gazed down at Emelia and said gently, "When you get famous, you will leave Tymers Entertainment

eventually. You will need these connections as an individual screenwriter."

Emelia was a little shocked by his words. She didn't know why Viggo would think that she would go NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

solo.

Although she wanted to get somewhere with her career, she was not the kind of person who would

even think of going solo.

First off, she didn't have the ambition in her.

Secondly, she was very grateful for Viggo giving her a chance to become a screenwriter and supporting

her to pursue further study.

She swore back then that she would work for him for all her life as long as Viggo employed her.

Viggo sensed what was in her mind and smiled. "I know you are not planning on that. But all these

years in this industry taught me one thing, and that is to plan ahead."

"There is a big world out there waiting for you," Viggo added.

Emelia was extremely talented. Viggo would never hold her back because he knew that she had a

bright future in front of her.

Emelia was moved by Viggo's sincerity and kindness. "Thank you," she said, her eyes brimming with

tears.

A video was sent to Julian's phone. In that clip, Emelia and Viggo were staring at each other.

The video was recorded by Ezra. He was lazily leaning against a table while sending a text message to

Julian.

Ezra: Come! Viggo is making a move. There's some chemistry going on!

Ezra: I don't know what trick Viggo used. But Emelia was seriously MOVED.

Ezra was indeed exaggerating. However, if this kept happening, Viggo and Emelia might really be a

thing.

By then, Julian would regret his decision of not coming here today.

About twenty minutes later, Julian arrived at the venue. He dressed in an all-black tuxedo, looking

solemn.

Julian was the hottest business upstart in Riverside City. He was elegant, handsome, and with

extraordinary bearings. Therefore, his presence caused a great sensation at the event.

When he walked through the door, Caroline was hooking up with some guy at the event, and Yvonne

was chatting with a few female celebrities over red wine.

A woman was confused by Julian's sudden arrival. "Didn't you say Julian won't be here today?" she

asked.

Yvonne was also shocked. She didn't expect that he would come.

Did... Did Julian change his mind because Emelia was here?

Yvonne had a pretty strained relationship with Julian for the moment. He certainly couldn't be here for

her. How would that make Yvonne look?
