My Ex, Please Love Me Again

“How could there be such an idiot in our family?” Grandpa Hughes was suffering in heart-wrenching anguish.

This might be a hard-to-solve puzzle for them.

Caroline and Julian shared an almost identical genes pool, but how could they turn out to be so different?

When Caroline played the fields with male stars, Grandpa Hughes had suspected her real identity. He even secretly did a paternity test for Caroline, but it turned out that Caroline was 100% Gerhard and Heather’s daughter.

Grandpa Hughes had no choice but to tolerate Caroline.

He lectured her more than once before, but Caroline kept doing ridiculous things. As time passed, Grandpa Hughes gave her up.

He regrated not crippling her legs because this at least kept Caroline from Eric.

Arthur handed a cup of tea to Grandpa Hughes and comforted him, “Everyone is responsible for their choice. There’s nothing we can do.”

“Let it pass.” Grandpa Hughes took a sip of his tea to calm himself down.

Arthur asked, “What happened to Uncle Gerhard?”

Grandpa Hughes was depressed when it came to Gerhard. “Well, I received a foreign call today. Julian’s father owed an insolvent debt overseas, and he’s caught and beaten up by the creditors. The attached photo showed his swollen face full of bruises.”

Arthur said coldly, “This must be Eric’s another work.”

They were learning the ropes that Eric wouldn’t let anyone off his hook, even Gerhard, who was overseas.

And it would be easier for Eric if Gerhard was abroad.

Grandpa Hughes nodded, “Definitely.”

Grandpa Hughes gritted his teeth and said, “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. He must be set up by someone to owe such a huge debt.”

“Gerhard cried in the video that someone set him up. He borrowed money to invest a profitable project, but it didn’t go well in the end!” Grandpa Hughes analyzed, “I guess he was mesmerized by a woman, who was probably Eric’s trick!”

Arthur agreed with him. Eric came prepared, so he must have put someone into Gerhard’s life. The simultaneous incidents just ruined his plan and caught him off guard.

But the amount of Gerhard’s debt took Arthur by surprise. “That much money?”

Grandpa Hughes blurted, “Julian took money from a loan shark, and it’s charging interest on top of interest. It looks like Eric wants to cost the Hughes Group an arm and a leg!”NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Arthur paused for a while before he said to Grandpa Hughes, “Grandpa, forgive my rudeness, I don’t think Julian should know about this.”

Grandpa Hughes was shocked after Arthur told him about Julian’s head issues. “A headache?”

Arthur replied to him, “Yeah, it’s all coming from Caroline. She hung out with Eric me in his place.”

Grandpa Hughes stood up with a blank expression, “I see. Then don’t bother him. I’ll figure out a way to raise money.”

Julian as the president would definitely know about the money if it was taken out from the Farrell family.

Arthur interrupted Grandpa Hughes, “I’ll help with the money. Whether Uncle Gerhard could escape after that, at least they will go easy on him.”

Arthur always kept a low profile, but his family fortune was capable to get Grandpa Hughes through this.

He would do it under the table rather than bothering Julian.

If anything happened to Julian, Eric got to win.

Grandpa Hughes patted Arthur’s shoulder and expressed his sincere gratitude.

“It’s fine,” Arthur said humbly.

Emelia walked Grandpa Hughes to the door. “Grandpa, I save some money …”

Grandpa Hughes interrupted her, “Kid, I appreciate that.”

After the Longerich family reunited with Emelia, she had received jewelry from Lady Dorothy, several estates from Vincent, and its company shares. She had money to help Grandpa Hughes out of this.

But Grandpa Hughes refused. “I think I can handle it. Don’t drag your family into this.”

Julian had already left a bad impression in the Longerich’s for hurting Emelia. How could he get them involved in the chaos now?

Grandpa Hughes continued, “Julian’s mother saves a lot these years. This shit is supposed to be her business, so she should take care of it.”

Emelia didn’t force Grandpa Hughes.

Grandpa Hughes got in the car after taking a few more to Emelia.

Emelia met Arthur on her way back to the ward. Arthur seriously suggested, “I want to put tranquilizer to Julian’s medicine. You know, rest is the best and fast way to recover. The situation is going down. We need him to deal with Eric.”

“Okay,” Emelia nodded.

She wished Julian could recover more than anyone else, so she would take Arthur’s advice.

Emelia told Julian about Caroline’s call after Julian woke up, but she skipped their quarrel in case Julian got angry.

But Julian knew Caroline. He asked, “Did she say something stupid?”

Emelia urged him, “It’s nothing. Hurry up and call her back.”

Caroline answered the phone.

Caroline said in a mocking tone, “Mr. Hughes, are you looking for me?”

Julian took a deep breath at Emelia’s worried gaze and said, “Are you okay?”

Emelia told him not to get angry before this phone call.

Caroline said as if she didn’t care about it, “I’m doing great.”

Julian could tell from Caroline’s dramatic tone that she didn’t lie.

Julian cut to the chase. “Do you know Eric didn’t break up with Yvonne?”

“I know, but that’s no big deal.” Caroline grunted, “I’m totally hitting on Eric behind Yvonne’s back.”

Gritting his teeth, Julian said, “You’re being a shameless homewrecker, you know that?”

Eric’s consistent love for Yvonne was quite moving. In many people’s eyes, he would never abandon Yvonne even if she was in prison.

Caroline would become a target of blame once people knew about her relationship with Eric.

Julian could imagine how Eric shifted the blame to Caroline.

Eric was enticing Caroline to become the public enemy, but Caroline didn’t care about this at all.

But people would drown her with vicious comments!

Caroline argued defiantly, “I enjoy being a homewrecker. This makes me happy.”

Julian almost ran out of patience, but he took a deep breath to calm himself down before he said, “Caroline, listen up. Use your brain.”

While Julian began to tell Caroline everything about Eric, Caroline cut in, “Alright, no more preaching. Gotta go, bye.”

Julian was infuriated by Caroline hanging up the call.
