Chapter 1002 – My Accidental Bride Is a Fashion Circle Queen Novel

Filed To Story: My Accidental Bride Is a Fashion Circle Queen Novel

After the fall of the Nangong Family, the entire New York, including the entertainment industry, barely mentioned their names again. But, now that Nangong Quan was back, it seemed, this old matter was about to be dug up again.

Nangong Quan was back to make the Roborts Family suffer.

Eric wasn’t afraid. After all, Elder Roberts never did anything wrong. But, he had a weakness: Emma.

Emma could see the worry in Eric’s eyes, so she t**sed, “Is Mr. Roborts afraid?”

“Let’s get some rest,” Eric said without answering Emma’s question. He then wr*pped his arms around his wife and lay down to sleep.

Emma wasn’t a typical woman. Whether it was physically or mentally, she had a strength that other women couldn’t compare to. This was something that Eric never worried about.

A few days later, Nangong Quan successfully held a p**ss conference and announced his role as the CEO of Springfall Film and Television. He also wished ‘Parasite’ the best.

When Emma saw the man on the entertainment news, she found herself naturally feeling cautious of him. She often judged a person’s soul through their eyes, and this man’s eyes looked tired but fierce.

Of course, his appearance in the industry attracted a lot of debate. He was obviously here to oppose Kaleidoscope; a conclusion that could be made from ‘Parasite’ alone.

After Elder Roberts saw the news, he immediately gave Eric a phone call, “Has the rascal from the Nangong Family caused you any trouble?”

“Haven’t you already seen everything on the news?”

“I’m referring to other things,” the old man humphed. “He plays the same sneaky tricks that his grandfather used to play.”

“He hasn’t done anything yet,” Eric replied.

“This rascal might be worse than his grandfather. You need to be careful.”

“You should worry about yourself first,” Eric said before he hung up the phone.

“That rascal…” Elder Roberts humphed as he also hung up.

Afterwards, Eric heard a knock on his office door and Luke stepped inside with an invitation, “President, this is from Springfall!”

Eric received the invitation and threw it aside after taking a glance at it, “Nangong Quan wants to meet.”

“Are you going to go?”

“Of course, we have a lot to catch up on.”

“Do you want to notify the Madam about this?” Luke asked as he peeked at the invitation beside Eric’s hand.

Eric froze for a second before he nodded his head, “Of course.”

From Eric’s perspective, he worried about Emma, but he never treated her like an average women. After all, her ability to judge a situation was better than any man. So, he decided to tell her everything so she could prepare for it.

That night, after returning home, Eric told Emma about the invitation and asked, “Do you want to go with me? I feel the most reassured with you by my side.”

Emma shook her head in response, “You should go by yourself. I’ll stay at home and not make you worry.”

“OK.”

“But, I keep feeling as though something’s off,” Emma said confusedly. She kept feeling like there was something she hadn’t figured out yet.

“Zichen has his next appointment at the doctor’s in 2 days,” Eric reminded.

“Oh, yes, that’s right,” Emma remembered.

“I’ll send a few extra bodyguards to protect you. Take mom with you to the appointment.”

“OK,” Emma nodded.

Afterwards, Emma called Bertha and warned her to be careful. She, at least, needed to be aware of any dangers. But, Bertha responded in a relaxed manner, “I know to be cautious and I’ll protect my grandson well. You guys don’t need to be so anxious. This isn’t 20 years ago!”

Emma understood that she was overreacting a little, but who knew what Nangong Quan’s bottom line was? After all, they had never crossed paths before and he was a fierce criminal.

Two days later, Eric arrived at Dynasty Hotel to meet with Nangong Quan. Dressed in a grey suit, Nangong Quan smiled as he greeted Eric from a table beside the window.

“It’s been a long time.”

Eric removed his suit jacket and walked over to sit opposite Nangong Quan. The two handsome men immediately attracted the attention of the women in the hotel.

“President Nangong has made quite a grand return.”

“How come your wife didn’t accompany you today? I felt like I should personally explain the matter regarding Glory to her,” Nangong Quan said courteously, “My men didn’t handle the matter well. Sister-in-law must be upset.”

“My son had a doctor’s appointment today, so my wife went with him,” Eric replied calmly. “As for the matter concerning Glory, my wife didn’t gain much from the situation, but she didn’t lose out either.”

“After I returned to New York this time, I noticed that the industry’s changed a lot. It seems to be ruled by you now,” Nangong Quan laughed.

“Did President Nangong simply invite me here to catch up?”

“Of course. After all, the Roborts Family are the only people I’m familiar with in New York. Now that I’m back with my daughter, it’s only natural for me to meet with old friends. Otherwise, my daughter will have no one to visit and her holidays would be very lonely and cold.”

The conversation bet**en the two men was actually a mental battle to test each other’s bottom line.

“If there’s something you want to say, then go ahead and say it. After all, I don’t think my grandfather did anything wrong all those years ago,” Eric said straightforwardly. “I don’t think the Roborts Family owes you anything.”

“I never said that the Roborts Family owes me anything. I honestly contacted you because you’re the only person I can talk to. As for ‘Parasite’, that is merely business that is managed by someone else. I can’t say that I was completely aware of it,” Nangong Quan explained calmly. “Eric, even if I was to target you, I would do it openly.”

“Others may not know you, but I know you perfectly. Besides, I have a daughter now.”

“It wasn’t easy for me to get to this point. I don’t want my daughter to lose her father over an old grudge.”

“Let’s meet often from now on. I’ll make you believe me.”

Whether Eric believed Nangong Quan or not, he was still cautious of him. After all, the Nangong Family’s grudge wasn’t determined by Nangong Quan alone.

In the past, the Nangong Family’s power was complex. One false move and it triggered a domino effect. So, plenty of people were implicated by Elder Nangong’s admittance to prison. But, they all went into hiding. Now that Nangong Quan returned, they finally had someone to lead their way. Wasn’t this the perfect opportunity for them to make a move?

The lunch appeared to run without any problems. At the same time, Roberts Zichen’s visit to the doctor ran just as smoothly. After seeing that her son was OK, Emma let out a sigh of relief and finally relaxed.

But, on the way home, Bertha’s car was suddenly cut off by two black cars. At that time, Roberts Zichen was seated in the back.

Bertha immediately stopped her car in the side street, too afraid to make a move. A moment later, four gangsters jumped out of the black cars holding metal poles in their hands. Before Bertha could say a word, they immediately ran over and started smashing her car.

Emma caught up to Bertha with her bodyguards and started chasing after the gangsters, but they calmly returned to their cars and drove off.

Emma immediately opened the car door and helped her mother out of the car. She then carried Roberts Zichen in her arms.

“Are you OK?”

“I’m fine,” Bertha said as she held onto her ch*st. “I’m just not sure if Zichen was frightened or not. I can’t believe the Nangong Family would resort to such cheap tactics. What kind of society are they in? How could they use such violence?”

“Let’s talk at home!” Emma turned around with Zichen in her arms. Afterwards, she safely escorted her mother home.

“I was scared to death!”

“I’m sorry, mom,” Emma apologized as she held onto her son.

“This wasn’t your fault.” However, the scene was frightening to think about.

Soon after, Emma gave Eric a phone call to tell him what had happened. As soon as Eric heard about the incident, his exp**ssion didn’t change, but he was obviously not as relaxed as earlier.

“I just received a phone call from my wife. My son was attacked on the way home from the hospital.”

“Really? Then you should hurry home and check on him,” Nangong Quan hurried.

Eric humphed and stood up from his seat, “From now on, if you want to make a sneak attack or chase after someone, then target me, children should not be frightened. If something actually happens to him, the Nangong Family will be wiped off the face of the earth.”

“I will only acknowledge you as an opponent if you challenge me in the open!”

Nangong Quan did not say a word as he watched Eric leave. Only after he left, did Nangong Quan give his agency a phone call, “Who told you to seek revenge on the Roborts Family?”

“Young Master…”

“Uncle Qiu, we are in a society ruled by the law; not a violent era of the past. Why did you make such a cheap move?” Nangong Quan was furious. “Let’s discuss this when I get back!”

Nangong Quan may have been an extremely cheap character in the past, but he now had a daughter and understood gentleness. Besides, he was well aware that opp**ssive methods like this were the cheapest paths to go down. Even if he won by using this method, would it make him proud?

So, after returning to the agency, he immediately went to look for Qiu Jin.

“Why didn’t you listen to my advice?”

“Young Master, we’ve waited so many years for you to return, just so we could get revenge on the Roborts Family. Have you forgotten the pain that they put you through?”

“No, I haven’t forgotten, but what was the point of scaring Eric’s child? Uncle Qiu, if you can’t win against a person by following the rules, then you haven’t truly won!” Nangong Quan growled. “Besides, what’s your identity? Don’t tell me you still want to be a simple punk on the streets.”

“Young Master…”

“If you want to win against the Roborts Family, help me create a bigger and stronger empire than Kaleidoscope and help me produce a better film than ‘The Ant Queen’. Stop using cheap and nasty tricks; they have no effectiveness on Eric.”
