Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart novel Chapter 121
Vincent's request was not difficult for Julian, because he could invite many excellent screenwriters, such as a famous screenwriter like Kelaina Salkowski.
However, as soon as Vincent proposed this request, he immediately thought of the best candidate, Emelia.
First of all, she was a fan of Vincent's, so she must know his work very well. And she respected Vincent very much. Therefore, she must take great pains to write the script.
Secondly, her own strength could not be underestimated.
Although she was young and new to the circle of screenwriters, he inexplicably believed that she was up to this important and that she could pass Vincent's test.
Therefore, he said to Vincent without hesitation, "Your request is very reasonable. I will arrange for excellent screenwriters to take your test."
Vincent was very satisfied. "In that case, we are not in a hurry to talk about the copyright now. I want to know about the screenwriter's abilities first."
Vincent added, "To tell you the truth, because each of the investors has its own screenwriters, I have to look at their abilities first. I'll sign the contract with the screenwriter who I am satisfied with."
"The price is not the most important thing for me." Vincent finally emphasized with understatement.
Julian was very clear about this. Vincent was said to have grown up in a noble family which literally owned a castle. Money was the last thing he should worry about.
And even without such background, Vincent had already made a good fortune after years of laboring in the circles of writers and screenwriters.
He offered a high price because he wanted to show his sincerity in this way.
Finishing talking, they left the cafe and went to the bookstore together. Vincent's public signing was about to begin. Julian would also attend.
However, his next target was not Vincent, but Emelia, who would also come.
After entering the bookstore, Vincent went to meet his own team. Soon, he was about to go on stage.
Looking around the entire hall, he didn't see any sign of Emelia at all.
He took a look at his watch and frowned slightly. The signing was about to begin, but she hadn't arrived yet.
Based on his very little understanding of her, he believed that she was not the kind of person who was unable to be punctual.
Julian found Maisie on the other side of the venue and asked her, "Why hasn't Emelia come yet?"
Maisie was also puzzled. "I don't have a clue. I've just text her, but haven't got any reply.
"
Julian said, "Call her right now."
Maisie hurriedly took out her phone and called Emelia. However, her phone was switched off.
Maisie said to Julian in surprise, "Her phone is off?"
Julian's handsome brows furrowed even deeper. It was obviously not normal.
Logically, Emelia should have arrived at the signing venue by this time, and her phone shouldn't have been turned off.
She was always careful. For today's signing session, she would definitely have had her phone charged in advance. After all, she would take a photo with Vincent later.
Maisie called Emelia again and also tried sending her a voice message.
As they couldn't get through though they tried again and again, the bad premonition in Julian's heart became stronger and stronger.
He took out his phone and called Ezra first. Without any hesitation, he ordered, "Ask someone to check the CCTV near Emelia's house and track down her whereabouts."
"What?" Ezra looked confused. "What happened?"
Julian replied, "We can't contact her. I feel something wrong."
"Ask someone to look for her quickly. Hurry!" He then gave Ezra some instructions and hung up.
Ezra didn't dare to waste time. He quickly made several phone calls and started to take action.
At the same time, Julian called David who was in the company. "Check if Caroline has boarded the plane today."
Caroline was to fly abroad today. If he remembered correctly, it was almost her boarding time now.
David rang back very soon. "Mr. Hughes, the airport said that she didn't board at all. They've checked the whole system, but can't find any information about her."
David didn't know what had happened, but he said in annoyance, "She has missed the boarding time. The ticket has been wasted."
If she hadn't planned to leave today, he could have hold it.
But now, everything had been arranged, and then she didn't leave. Wasn't it a waste of money?
Although their boss was rich, his money shouldn't have been wasted like this.
Hearing David's reply, Julian was about to burst with anger.
He was certain that their losing contact with Emelia had something to do with Caroline.
He knew that Caroline blamed Emelia for her being sent abroad, but he hadn't expected that Caroline would be so extreme that she dared to hurt Emelia.
It was a society ruled by law. Caroline was committing a crime!
After hanging up David's phone call, Julian called Caroline as he rushed out.
Caroline didn't answer the call at first. Later, perhaps worrying about her brother's reaction, she answered it finally. "Julian, what's up?"
Julian was getting into the car at that time. Hearing her voice, he went straight to the point. "Caroline, let go of Emelia."
Caroline denied. "What, what do you mean? I don't know what you're talking about."
Julian gritted his teeth and roared, "I say it again. Let go of Emelia, or you'll be in big trouble."
He was definitely not joking. If anything happened to Emelia, he would strangle Caroline to death, regardless of whether she was his sister or not.
Threatened by his cold and mighty words, Caroline immediately became angry and admitted what she had done.
She yelled hysterically, "I won't let her go!"
"If you can, find her and save her yourself!" As she spoke, Caroline laughed out loud. "But I guess she'll have been ruined by the time you find her."
"Julian, don't you know that I have found several men for her to sleep together."
"Caroline!" Julian roared, "Are you fucking crazy?"
Julian couldn't imagine what Caroline had said. He almost blew his top. His hands holding the steering wheel were trembling.
Caroline didn't care at all. "Julian, why are you so angry? I am to help you vent your anger."
"Is she good at sleeping with men? Then I'll have her enjoy herself!" Caroline said in resentment. "If it weren't for her, Grandpa would still love me. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't send me abroad!"
At this time, Ezra called Julian on another phone. He said, "We have checked the CCTV. Emelia was taken away by a van as soon as she left home this morning. She was taken to an abandoned warehouse in the north of the city."
Indicating that he had got the message, Julian turned the steering wheel and drove straight to the abandoned warehouse.
