Chapter 57 We Won’t Hire You Anymore
On the way to the police station, Julian asked Maisie to call Yvonne to go to the police station.
Yvonne was surprised and puzzled at the other end of the phone, “Julian asked me to go to the police station? Why? What’s going on?”
Maisie answered in a serious tone, “I don’t know what’s going on. But Mr. Hughes just wanted you to go over there.”
“Oh, okay.” Yvonne agreed reluctantly and then hung up the phone.
Although Yvonne pretended to be innocent, Maisie inexplicably just believed that this incident was directed by Yvonne.
As soon as he stepped into the police station, Julian saw Emelia sitting with downcast eyes.
The wide shirt covered her entire body, making her look slim, even a bit skinny.
The circles around her eyes and the tip of her nose were red, so he could tell she had been crying.
Her face did not look good, and Julian could see right through her mind, she must be worried about having dragged Harry into this at the moment.
He was relieved to think that he had already given his orders to suppress the matter.
If she could not afford to get into trouble, then don’t go to another man for help when things go wrong, and now he was needed to come and take care of her.
Harry was being called aside and scolded by his agent. Julian became angry at the sight of that defiant boy.
The so-called youthful impulsiveness was referring to him.
In his twenties, he even wanted to court a woman and protect her?
Learn how to control his emotions first.
“Emelia, are you alright?” Maisie walked over to Emelia in concern.
When Emelia raised her eyes to look over, Julian withdrew his gaze that had landed on her and looked away to Harvey and the assistant director who were on the side.
A chill ran down Harvey’s back and with difficulty he managed a smile to face him.
That assistant director was really brainless and immediately shouted after seeing Julian, “Mr. Hughes, you must help me. Harry Zink beat me up like this. It’s all because of Emelia Jones. She has to get out of this screw, or otherwise I can’t work with her.”
That assistant director was certain that Yvonne was Julian’s soft spot, so he rushed to state his purpose at the first opportunity.
As long as Emelia was driven away and Yvonne was pleased, he thought he would be able to do whatever he wanted in the film industry in the future replying on HGH.
But to his surprise, Julian yelled at him with a grim face, “Get lost!”
The assistant director froze for a moment.
What was going on here? Yvonne didn’t speak for him in front of Julian?
“No, Mr. Hughes-” The assistant director wanted to say something else, but Harvey hurriedly stopped him.
Julian’s mood was obviously not right. They had just called Yvonne, so it was better for them to wait until Yvonne arrived.
Emelia whispered to Maisie who came to see her, “I’m fine.”
She glanced at Harry, who was being lectured by his agent, and her voice was slightly choked, “I just feel sorry for dragging Harry into this.”
Emelia really didn’t expect Harry to punch someone. If she had known that this would happen, she definitely wouldn’t have asked Harry to help her out.
Maisie hurriedly said, “Mr. Hughes has already stepped in and had this whole thing hushed up. It won’t affect Harry. Don’t worry.”
Maisie thought to herself that it was fortunate that Mr. Hughes had stepped in, for Emelia really felt guilty and blamed herself.
Emelia was stunned for a moment at her words, and then said mockingly, “Mr. Hughes really dedicated himself in protecting Yvonne.”
Maisie was choked at her words.
Didn’t Mr. Hughes do this to alleviate the feeling of guilt in her heart towards Harry?
When Julian had just taken a step over, he heard Emelia said he was defending Yvonne, and he almost died of anger.
It was no wonder that Emelia thought this way about Julian. Julian and Yvonne were a couple, and Yvonne’s image was related to Julian and HGH, if this matter really went big, it was not good for Harry’s reputation, and Yvonne, the mastermind behind this, would be blamed.
Emelia could feel Julian’s fiery gaze on her, and she deliberately lowered her eyes not to look at him.
She knew that he must be sick of her, and if it wasn’t for her, his fiancée would not have to be so embarrassed.
He had helped Harry by stepping in to suppress down the matter, but he mainly wanted to defend Yvonne, so she would not say a word of thanks to him.
Yvonne soon arrived, dressed in a modest dress, her shoulder-length hair looked elegant.
She walked over and gently took Julian’s arm, “Julian, what happened?”Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Yvonne’s expression was blank and innocent, and Julian lowered his eyes to look at her quietly, while withdrawing his arm from her hand.
“Ms. Sullivan, hurry up and tell Mr. Hughes.” That assistant director shouted anxiously from the side.
Yvonne secretly gritted her teeth, then glared at the assistant director, “What am I going to tell him? Do I know you guys?”
Yvonne was glad that she was an actress.
She didn’t want to act, but she could not admit what she had done in front of so many people.
When Yvonne planned this incident, she did not expect that Harry would go and help Emelia out, nor did she expect that Harry would beat someone up for Emelia.
Now that things were going wrong, of course she had to be the first to take herself out of the picture.
Julian looked at Yvonne and said word for word, “He said that you instructed him to harass Emelia, thus driving Emelia out of the project.”
Yvonne’s shoulders trembled with anger, “This is nonsense!”
“I don’t even know them. How can they say that?” Yvonne shed tears of aggression after she finished speaking.
She used the opportunity to wipe her tears and lowered her eyes to avoid Julian’s gaze, he was too intimidating, and his eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.
“Ms. Sullivan, you-” That assistant director didn’t expect Yvonne to deny instructing them, and was depressed as hell for a while.
Harvey gave him a firm tug, signaling him to shut up.
Julian, who carried a powerful aura of control over the whole situation, stood in the middle of the conference room, glanced around at the several people present and finally asked in a deep voice, “How do you want to handle this matter?”
Neither Emelia nor Harry spoke, while the assistant director yelled, “I want Harry to apologize to me!”
There was no way he could just let it go after he was beaten up like that.
Harry said hatefully, despite his agent’s objections, “No way!”
Julian ignored them both and raised his eyes to Emelia who was not far away and asked indifferently, “Ms. Jones, what do you want to do about it?”
“As long as it doesn’t involve Harry, I’ll do whatever he wants, I can apologize to them.” All Emelia wanted at this point was for this matter to end quickly and for Harry to walk away in one piece.
Whether the assistant director harassed her first or not, she could apologize and leave it at that.
She could do nothing about it, for the backers behind them were Yvonne and Julian.
She couldn’t fight them, and neither could Harry.
Julian turned his head to look at the assistant director, a murderous aura under his eyes, “From now on, you will not be hired in any of the HGH projects. Now, tell me what you want to do about this matter?”
That assistant director was rendered wordless.
