Chapter 158 Be a Nominal Daughter
Chapter 158 Be a Nominal Daughter
In the evening, Vincent called Emelia and asked how she and Yvonne talked during the day.
Emelia told Vincent as it was. Vincent was very angry. "She bullied you like this just because she thinks
you don't have any backing and can't do anything to her!"
Emelia hadn't expected Vincent to be so angry. She said gently, "It doesn't matter. I'll give her two more
chances."
Emelia wasn't a little girl who didn't know anything. She naturally knew that Yvonne, as well as
Caroline, bullied her because she didn't have any backing.
If she was from a prominent family, they would hurriedly curry favor with her. How would they dare to
bully her?
"It's useless to give her ten more chances!" Vincent said angrily, "Do you know? Her father asked
someone to talk me into going easy on her. Isn't it obvious that they are bullying you and don't want to
apologize to you?"
"They asked someone to talk to you?" Emelia was utterly stunned.
Vincent snorted, "Yes, he reached me through his connections in the Capital."
Because Vincent was in the Capital, Randolph Sullivan directly relied on the connections in the Capital.
Obviously, Randolph was really powerful.
They only cared about Vincent's attitude. As long as he let go of her and did not have Yvonne
apologize to Emelia and did not notify the industry of Yvonne, they did not care about Emelia's feelings
at all.
Emelia muttered apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Longerich. If you're bothered, I will let it go."
Emelia knew that the worldly customs could not be avoided by anyone in any society.
And the higher the status of a person, the more he would be bound by these worldly customs.
Emelia didn't know what was wrong with her. She instinctively didn't want Vincent to be in a dilemma,
so she compromised and didn't apportion blame to Yvonne.
Vincent said resignedly, "Do you think I am the kind of person who will bow to evil forces like them?"
"Not to mention that the Longerich family's status in the Capital is not something that ordinary people
can do. Even if I had no power or influence, I would not compromise with them. Yvonne is wrong. I only
asked her to apologize to you rather than have the circle notified of her conduct. I am kind enough to
her!"
It was obvious that Vincent despised Randolph's behavior. "It's because Randolph, as a parent, spoiled
children regardless of right or wrong that there are so many arrogant and despicable people like
Yvonne in the society!"
In fact, Vincent himself was also born into an influential and rich family. The Longerich's was
prestigious in the Capital, but he had kept in a low profile and had been humble for so many years. He
did not rely on his family at all in his work.
He succeeded with his own talent. Therefore, he naturally despised Randolph for protecting Yvonne
like that.
Emelia didn't know what to say. She really hadn't expected that Yvonne had reached Vincent through
his in order not to have Yvonne apologize to her.
Vincent added, "Well, I actually have a way which can not only protect you but also force Yvonne to
apologize to you."
Emelia hurriedly asked, "What is it?"
Vincent's tone suddenly became a little embarrassed. "Well, after we met the last, I felt it a twist of fate
that we met. I also appreciate your talent and like your character. Therefore, I discussed with my wife. I
want to... recognize you as our nominal daughter?"
Emelia was shocked. For a moment, she thought she had misheard. "A nominal daughter?"
"Yes." Vincent said sincerely, "You must know that my wife and I have no children though we have
been married for so many years. If we acknowledge you as our nominal daughter, we will treat you like
our own daughter. And with the support of the Longerich family. No one will dare to bully you in the
future in either Riverside City or the Capital."
"I, I..."Emelia still couldn't speak. She even wanted to cry. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
She couldn't believe it. The writer she admired the most said that he would take her as his nominal
daughter?
Emelia felt it lucky to have the chance to meet Vincent and adapt his novels. She had never expected
to have closer relations with Vincent.
In particular, they were to become a family by taking her as their daughter.
Vincent knew that his proposal would shock Emelia, so he did not force her. He quickly said, "I know
this is very serious. You must discuss it with your parents."
"Well, I respect your and your family's opinions. You can discuss it first. If you don't want to, I won't
force you." Vincent's words were full of understanding of Emelia.
"But I must let you know that I intend to take you as my nominal daughter just because I like you and
want you to have a better life and not be bullied by those like Yvonne."
"It's definitely not because we don't have children that we want to have you as our daughter so that we
can be looked after while we are old."
Emelia choked and nodded. "I know you're not such a person. You don't have to do this."
With his wealth and family background, Vincent and his wife would not need others to take care of
them. They could spend money to hire very good nannies.
"It's my honor to be recognized as your nominal daughter." Emelia couldn't explain to Vincent about her
parents. This was not something that could be explained clearly in a few words on the phone.
"But..." Emelia was filled with nervousness. "I'm afraid I won't be good enough..."
Emelia was speaking her minds. She really felt inferior.
She was just an ordinary girl. Perhaps she had some talent in writing, but how could she get the favor
of a big shot like Vincent?
She didn't even have a complete family and didn't know who her biological father was...
Vincent and the Longerich family were so prominent. She was worried that if she became Vincent's
nominal daughter, there would be gossip. She herself didn't care about it, but what if Vincent and the
Longerich family were involved?
Vincent smiled indifferently and said, "It's nonsense to say that you are not good enough. Every family
is actually very ordinary. You don't need to be stressed in this respect."
"I know that you must be in a complicated mood. How about you think about it first and give me an
answer tomorrow?" Vincent said in the end.
"All right." Emelia nodded and agreed.
She was indeed in a complicated mood, as if she was on an emotional roller coaster.
After the call with Vincent, Emelia sat on the sofa for a long time without recovering.t
In fact, she did not need to think about it, nor did she need to discuss with her family. The moment Veal
propose to take her as his nominal daughter, she wanted to say yes, she was willing to be.
The affection between people was wonderful. Although she had only met Vincent once, she
instinctively felt that she was very close to Vincent and could feel the true feelings Vincent and his wife
had to her.
She believed that once she became their daughter, she would definitely be doted on.
