Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart novel Chapter 77

In front of other patients, Emelia gave twenty thousand to Oliver.

Looking at the smile on Oliver's face after receiving the money, Emelia said with sobs and said, "Dad, I only have money for food now. I have really tried my best."

After that, Emelia pretended to wipe away the tears. She was a gentle girl, and now she looked very pitiful.

Just as Oliver was about to say something, a patient's relative said to Emelia, "Twenty thousand is a large sum."

The other one said to Oliver, "Oliver, didn't you say that you also have a son? Why didn't he come?"

"That's right. We say that raising a son in case of aging, and we can't let our daughter pay all the money."

Oliver opened his mouth but he didn't say anything.

He wanted to ask Emelia to go out and buy him something to eat. It's better to buy him some new clothes.

She had disappeared for more than a year. And she wanted to brush him off with mere twenty grand?

He wanted to rip her off.

But since someone else had spoken like that, he would let her go for the time being. Anyway, since she had appeared, he would have plenty of opportunities to ask her for money in the future.

Therefore, he changed the topic, "Okay, I know you are busy. You can go back now. I'm fine here."

Emelia nodded gratefully. "Please take good care of yourself. Call me if you need anything."

Emelia acted like a well-behaved daughter. After turning around and leaving, she immediately blacklisted Oliver on her phone.

Oliver must have thought that since she appeared and that she could be ripped off by them. However, they did not know that that was the last time she had interacted with them. In the future, when they met again, she would treat them as strangers.

Emelia had told Arthur about her origins. After she had left, the first thing Arthur did was to inform Julian.

Julian was also very surprised on the other end of the phone. "The Jones couples aren't her birth parents?"

"Yes." Arthur said, "She won't lie about this kind of things. I feel that she really has no choice, so she plans to use the opportunity to break off all relationships with them."

Julian pursed his lips and said nothing.

Indeed, for people like Oliver and his son, since they had found her, they would definitely not let her go.

With her current financial resources, how could she afford what they want?

Originally, he wanted to find a chance to talk to her about Oliver and Taylor. He wanted to ask if she needed his help to keep her from them.

He had so many ways to stop them from harassing her, but it seemed that she didn't need his help.

After thanking Arthur, Julian wanted to hang up.

Arthur added, "By the way, she said that she would treat me to dinner another day to express her gratitude."

Julian didn't know what to say.

It seemed that since she came back, he had indirectly helped her several times. Why didn't he have such treatment as Arthur?

Arthur said. "Speaking of that, I really miss her cooking. But it seems that it's not appropriate to tell her that I want to eat the food she makes."

Julian sneered, "Since you know it's not appropriate, then don't."

After saying that, Julian hung up angrily, and Arthur couldn't help laughing at the other end.

Not long after Emelia left the hospital, Oliver told Taylor to help him with the discharge formalities.

The last time Taylor was taken to the police station. The police gave him a lecture and let him go.

Taylor couldn't wait to ask Oliver, "How much did she give?"

Oliver leaned on the passenger seat smugly. "20,000 dollars."

Taylor thought it was too little. "Only 20,000? It should be at least 200,000."

Taylor had gotten used to how generous Julian had been when he had taken money from him. He thought Emelia's 20,000 dollars is too little.

Oliver said angrily, "Why are you in such a hurry? There will be a long way to go, won't there?"

Oliver added, "But she gave it to me me without hesitation. She must have a lot of money. I don’t believe that she got nothing from her divorce with Julian Hughes. Getting married to such a super-rich man, she would divorce him without getting a dime? Only a fool would do that!"

"I think she is still meek." The moment Oliver thought of how they could rid Emelia off in the future, he felt extremely proud. "It seems that it was right to keep her. Who could've expected that she would become our cash cow."

Taylor laughed as well.

Yes, his father loved money as much as his life. At that time, he refused to take in the newborn Emelia. If she lived with them, they had to give her food.

But his mother was a woman of the most equable temper and stubbornly insisted on keeping Emelia.

It seemed that she had made the right choice.

For Oliver and Taylor, 20,000 dollars would soon be spent. Emelia had been waiting for them to contact her to ask for money.

Although she had added their numbers into the black list, they would definitely change their numbers and call her.

Sure enough, she received a call of an unfamliar number that day.

She calmly answered and heard Taylor shouting, "Emelia, where are you? Why aren't you at home?"

Emelia asked innocently, "I'm at a friend's house. What's the matter?"

Taylor said grumpily, "We've spent all the money you gave because of Dad's disease..."

"Hello?... Hello?" Before Taylor could finish his words, he heard Emelia said 'hello' twice. Then she said gloomily, "Brother, what did you say? Pardon. I didn't hear clearly because the signal was weak."

Taylor was furious, but he could only patiently repeated his request.

Emelia replied, "I'm sorry, Brother. Crummy signal here. Let's talk about it another day."

After she finished speaking, she hung up. When Taylor called again, her mobile phone was turned off.

Taylor was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He finally understood what happened. It was not because of the signal and Emelia did that on purpose.

She deliberately fooled him and deliberately avoided giving him money in this way.

Oliver thought that it would be easy to ask Emelia for more money, so he was a little confused about Taylor's anger. "What's wrong?"

Taylor told Oliver what had happened. Oliver was so angry that he stamped his foots. "Is she going to hide from us?"

Taylor snorted. "She must be."

After all, Oliver had some life experience. He immediately said, "It's okay. Isn't she working as a screenwriter in a film and television company? Let's go to her company and see if she would show up."

"If she doesn't come out, we can make troubles to ruin her reputation. Then she can't work there anymore, and she can't even have a field in the screenwriter world!"

Oliver's words immediately earned Taylor's strong support. "Dad, you are so clever. Why didn't I think of going to her company to make troubles?"

"We can't raise her for so many years in vain."

But in fact, Emelia's living expenses in the Jones family was from her deceased mother. Oliver had never spent a penny on her.
