Chapter 90 Emilia Yimo (1/2)
In the neighborhood complex of the rich and elite was the extravagant mansion of the Yimo family.
Inside a bedroom within the extravagant mansion sat the figure of a young girl – her golden silk locks draped smoothly down her narrow shoulders.
With a dazed expression, the girl absentmindedly combed her hair as she stared into the mirror in front of her. The golden-haired girl in the room was none other than Emilia Yimo.
At that moment, Emilia's thoughts were overtaken with a certain young boy.
For the past few months, a lot had taken place on Emilia's side.
Ever since the incident at the Hirogori event Emilia's father, Louis Yimo, was infuriated after hearing what Landon Williams had done to his precious daughter.
The following day he immediately called Landon's father and informed him that he was cutting off all ties with their company. When Mr. William questioned why Louis Yimo replied with a curt response.
”Ask that wonderful son of yours.”
Panicked, Landon's father summoned his son over to scold him and ask him what he did. With a ghastly expression his face, Landon begins explaining the events that took place that night.
Instantly his father knocks him in the head yelling at him to fix it.
”What's the big deal? We still have enough money to operate the company not to mention that project with Odo Corps right?” Landon said as he caressed his head.
Mr. William's face raged with anger once more, his pudgy cheeks trembling. Raising his fist the round man smacks his son on the head a second time.
”You idiot! Have you forgotten what connections the Yimo family has? Do you really think word of what you did won't spread around the industry?” He seethes fiercely. ”Has the wealth blinded you so much to realize of the position we're still in? You even went out fooling around with another woman out in the open!”
Landon's face instantly paled when hearing his father's words. It was true, he hadn't considered the consequences of his actions.
He was aware his image would face some backlash after the incident, however, he assumed with just a few honeyed and sugary words he could change the situation in a flash.
Regrettably, it seems as if he forgot about where Emilia Yimo stood. There were reasons for why she could freely act spoilt and arrogant.
She possessed power and wealth and he suddenly realized those were the things that gave him status and a place in the industry.
Clutching his fists tightly, Landon looks up at his father. ”Don't worry, I'll talk to Emilia and work the situation out.”
Landon was sure with a few words he could win the naïve love-struck girl over. After all, for almost ten years, she would fawn over him and practically would do everything he told her if he were to use the right words. He didn't think this time wouldn't be different.
Unfortunately, Landon's words of affection would have no effect on Emilia as her heart had long forgotten him and was replaced with…something else.
The following day, when Landon arrived at Emilia's house asking to see her, he was immediately denied by the Yimo butler and told to leave. Holding back his rage, Landon forces out a kind smile.
”Please. Tell Emilia I just wish to talk to her, it's important.”
Twitching his silver mustache, the butler with narrowed eyes stares at Landon. The butler was no fool. He knew full well why the young man before him was at their doorstep. Having raised Emilia ever since he was a child, he had seen her infatuation with the handsome young man – including the times when she'd stay up day and night working to complete his homework or knit him scarves.
Unseen by the rest of the world, Emilia Yimo was nothing but a young girl who fantasized about true love. Staying in her room for days, Emilia would read romance novels and movies, constantly hoping of the romance she saw to become hers.
Being selfish, Emilia was determined to conquer the heart of Landon; her childhood friend, and crush. Therefore, for years she purchased him gifts, begged her father to support Landon with his company and give in few words for him from other businessmen.
