Bella just snorted. "Still, that doesn't change my judgment that you had sex with that woman. I even saw you kissing by the pool," she said as she left Anne's room. The atmosphere there was uncomfortable. Stuffy. Maybe because the inhabitant was a woman who also had her eyes on her man.'Her man?' Her cheeks immediately flushed. Bella shook her head.'What am I thinking?' she scolded herself.But then she remembered when Julius defended her and said she was his lover. Bella melted.‘Is he serious?’ That's all Bella could think about now.Meanwhile, Julius, who was still standing in Anne's room, sighed. "Women are complicated," he said.***"I want to apologize, Brandon. I'm really sorry for what happened," Bella said.Right now, Bella was in a park. She took advantage of the time when Julius went out of town. If not, he would never have allowed her. And of course, with Damian.Julius left her with Damian. The man hadn't taken his eyes off Bella the whole time. As if Damian was her bod
She just broke the vanity mirror in her room. Anne had been out of Julius's mansion for weeks. Actually, Julius didn't kick her out at all. The man remained silent. As if he didn't care. But Anne took the initiative to leave. She only took herself, all her clothes, and belongings were still there.Anne just needed to calm down. She must not be reckless. What happened that day shouldn't make her give up. She wanted to take control of all the wealth and power that Julius had."I need to think of another way," Anne seemed to be thinking hard."Who is that woman, actually?"Anne made a phone call. "I want you to find out about someone for me. I'll send you her photo. Give me the details," the woman commanded.Anne sighed deeply. "I'm sure there's a way to make Julius weak. And if that happens, I won't let Julius win again." Anne smirked.The woman appeared gentle and innocent. But in reality, she was a very dangerous woman. No one would know how cruel Anne could be to someone until she go
Bella and Julius's eyes snapped to Julius's phone as it beeped.Damian's name flashed on the screen, prompting Julius to answer immediately."What's the matter?" he demanded, his tone curt."Master, she's back," came the voice on the other end.A flicker of surprise crossed Julius's face. "Hm. Hold on."Ending the call, Julius rose from the bed with a sense of urgency. "Focus on your studies," he instructed Bella, his voice tight with unspoken tension that piqued her curiosity.Without another word, Julius left the room abruptly, likely to meet with Damian. Bella's mind buzzed with questions, but she kept silent, merely nodding in acknowledgment.As much as completing her college assignment was a priority, Bella's curiosity drove her to quietly trail after Julius, eager to unravel the mystery unfolding before her.Anne swept into Julius's mansion with an air of entitlement, disregarding any sense of shame."Miss," Damian's voice cut through the air, his disapproval palpable.Ignoring
Half an hour had passed, and Julius had not stopped receiving calls from several parties who felt aggrieved by the confusing news about him.The stock market of his company immediately plummeted to its lowest price since the company went public."I don't care. Your personal affairs are harming many parties, Mr. Maverick. You need to resolve this immediately," someone on the phone said. This was the umpteenth person to threaten him this morning.Julius sighed deeply. He knew he was in the wrong. So Julius wouldn't deny it at all."Alright, sir. Don't worry, I will fix this immediately. You don't need to worry. I will handle everything to the root."Julius leaned back in his chair. His head was really spinning facing the morning drama."Here, master."Damian showed the photos that were spread on the internet. Julius was really angry. The veins on his forehead were even very visible."Damn it! What is this?! Who edited these cheap photos?!" Clearly, this was fake. Just an edit. Julius di
Anne looked at Bella with hatred in her eyes. Julius and Anne had just arrived. Damian and Bella were there to greet them as well.Bella's gaze was unreadable. There was something she was trying to hide. But Bella knew if Julius understood her gaze. She hoped Julius would come to her. Hug her. Comfort her.But that didn't happen. The man just looked at her coldly."Tsk!" Anne clicked her tongue in annoyance."Why is she still here?!" Anne asked. She acted like a boss.Damian, who was watching, was very annoyed. 'This woman is really rude!' But he remained silent. Showing his smile to Anne. Showing great respect to her."Just leave her. She has nowhere else to go," Julius replied.Bella's heart was truly torn when Julius didn't mind at all when Anne hugged her waist, clinging to him.Her eyes welled up and her tears fell, but Bella immediately wiped them away. She couldn't cry."You've broken up with her, right?" Anne asked. Her lips pursed."Of course. I regret dating her. She's a low
Anne felt like she could die right then and there upon hearing Edrick's name spoken. The door opened, the sound adding to the dramatic impression.Anne thought. Julius lied about bringing Erickhere as a witness. But apparently not at all. Erickreally came! The man stared at her for quite a while before shifting his gaze to others. As if avoiding her."Damn! Why is he here?" Anne glared at her lover. She didn't expect him to come."And how did Julius get his contact?" Anne was truly puzzled!It's as if everything is betraying her now."He is this woman's lover. Anne, he told the media that she is pregnant with my child," Julius said."She's lying. Everything she says is a lie.""LIE!" Anne screamed."SHE'S LYING!" she continued, of course with her heartbreaking sobs to garner sympathy from the guests."That man! I don't know who he is! He's not my lover! Julius paid him to be my lover!" Anne pointed to her real lover."You all know Julius has a lot of money. He can pay anyone! Don't be
"I've heard everything, Mother," Bella said. She didn't know if her mother already knew about her biological father mistreating Julius."Father... He..."Her mother stared. "Julius told you?" her mother asked.Bella immediately nodded her head.Her mother's gaze dimmed. She also remembered the moments when she was so resentful towards Julius. At least, she knew that Julius had planned her husband's murder.But when she knew the motive behind it, she understood, so what she felt was similar to Bella's. Her hatred gradually disappeared, and she started to believe Julius was a good person."I also didn't think your father could do that," she said sorrowfully.That night, they talked about many things. Her mother was very surprised to find out that Bella was in a serious relationship with Julius.She didn't expect Bella to have such a plot twist of fate."I want to meet my sister," Bella said. She asked her mother for permission and immediately went to see her sister.Bella was in her sis
Brandon looked at Bella. He could see a deep sadness mixed with surprise in her eyes. Brandon also heard what the woman said.The woman was very beautiful. Her appearance was very sexy, with a sensual face. She looked like a high-class prostitute. Only a few could afford her. And maybe one of them was Julius. Bella's uncle.Bella remained silent, staring blankly. Brandon was quite surprised to see Bella's beautiful eyes, which seemed teary, and then her tears fell, wetting the floor.The woman, whoever she was, had already left. Bella was sure she was heading to Julius's guest room. Bella immediately pulled her body to hide. She clenched her chest, which was throbbing with pain."Julius..." Her voice sounded so sad.Brandon didn't say anything. Just stared at Bella with an unreadable look. From his gaze, and from the puzzle he was trying to piece together what had happened between Bella and Julius, it seemed he understood what had happened. Their relationship. His hands by his side we
