'What? He's outside? He can't be serious! Why would he be here?'As Julia was dwelling on her thoughts, her feet quickly stepped toward the window. Tugging at the curtains, she flung them aside and peered into the rain-soaked scene.There, standing resolute at the doorstep, was the man himself.'He's actually here? No way!' Julia inwardly exclaimed in surprise.Only as her initial shock receded did she realize the rain was pouring outside. Realizing that, she couldn't fathom why Jared came."Could it be that something happened to Shiloh's leg?" Julia murmured, her mind attempting to decipher the puzzle of his unexpected arrival.Swiftly, Julia descended the stairs, her every movement a delicate balance between hurry and cautiousness. Fortunately, the sound of rain outside was loud enough that even if her movements were slightly louder, it wouldn't have much of an impact.Upon opening the door, her gaze met the sight of a man drenched by the unforgiving storm."You didn't bring an umbr
Upon hearing the question, Julia raised her head and turned her gaze in the direction of Jared, who was emerging from the bathroom. She nodded in acknowledgment and replied, "Absolutely! I've always been courteous and reciprocating. If Vivien decided to disrupt my wedding, then it's only fitting that I reciprocate and disrupt hers during her wedding."Jared had been containing his emotions for a considerable period. However, upon hearing Julia's plan, his anger reached its peak. His self-control snapped, and he forcefully pushed Julia against the wall, his glare piercing her. His chest rapidly rose and fell as if engulfed in flames."What on earth are you doing?" Julia asked, utterly bewildered by the unfolding situation.Right at that moment, a knock echoed from the door."Julia, what's the noise I heard? Are you alright?" Conrad's concerned voice came from outside.Julia glanced at Jared, who was still pressing against her and furrowed her brows. "It's nothing. Go back to sleep," sh
"Julia!" Jared gasped and immediately stretched his hand to catch Julia's body before she fell to the ground. With heart pounding, Jared carried her and strode out of the bathroom, heading to bed. 'Her clothes were soaking wet. I can't just put her on the bed like this, right?' he thought to himself, falling into a dilemma. He stared at Julia for a moment and took a deep breath. After some hesitation, he swiftly removed Julia's clothes and lay her on the bed. He then grabbed a towel and wiped her entire body before covering her with a duvet. He then placed his palm on Julia's forehead to check her temperature, but he immediately withdrew his hand as though he was burned. 'She's burning!' he inwardly sputtered. Julia struggled to breathe, which made her face paler. Gradually, her eyelids trembled and fluttered open. She blinked and saw the blurry figure of a man beside her. "Help me... Get the syringe," she murmured weakly. "Where is it?" Jared asked. "In the drawer," Julia ge
Conrad was frozen like a statue. He couldn't believe his eyes and thought he was hallucinating, but the man in front of him didn't disappear. "Hello, I'm Oliver Kolson." Oliver whipped out his business card and handed it to Conrad. Hearing his words, Conrad gasped. 'He was indeed Oliver Kolson, a renowned assistant from Cresco Enterprise!' At that moment, Conrad was on cloud nine. He hurriedly accepted Oliver's business card as though he was afraid he would take it back. Smiling from ear to ear, he greeted, "Good to see you here. I'm Conrad."He extended his hand and shook hands with Oliver. He then glanced at Julia and mouthed, "Is it him?"Amused, Julia nodded and smiled at him. Taking a deep breath, Conrad faced Oliver and briefed him about his job, and subsequently sent him off. When Oliver left, Conrad turned to Julia and asked in disbelief, "How did you poach him? He's the number one gold medal assistant of Cresco Enterprise!""Have you forgotten my identity, Brother?" Jul
When he heard the familiar voice, Carter stopped putting on the ring and turned to look behind him.Beside him, Vivien also looked toward the door. Her eyes went wide as she recognized the woman standing before her."W-what..." she stuttered.Julia Watson.She really came.Meanwhile, Carter's eyes widened in surprise, his mind racing with mixed emotions. He had never expected Julia to show up.Why was she there? What did she want?Carter couldn't wrap his mind around the thought as he tried to calm the nerves surging in his skin. After all, most of their guests attended his wedding a month ago and had seen Julia. They knew that she was Carter's former fiancée."It's getting interesting now!" someone said from the crowd.Carter's heart pounded in his chest as he watched Julia approach him. The whispers and murmurs from the crowd grew louder, intensifying the tension in the air.On the other hand, Julia walked carefully toward Carter and Vivien.She wore a confident smile, and her eyes
When the crowd saw the video, they realized they had all misunderstood Julia. They realized Julia's intentions completely differed from what they had initially assumed. It became clear that their judgments had blinded them to such lies.Julia wasn't the villain. It was Vivien."My goodness! What a surprise!" a guest remarked.The woman beside her replied, "I know! I was there last time too, and I felt bad for cursing and being awful to Julia. Later, I have to apologize to her.""I don't think it's your fault. I was there too, and Vivien also deceived me!"After overhearing the conversations of the guests, Vivien felt anxious and angry."Vivien, is this true?" Lilian asked as her eyes darted down at her flat belly. She never really warmed up to Julia but never disliked her. Vivien's child was the primary motivation for her animosity toward Julia.If Julia hadn't been so mean to Vivien, pushing her down and causing her miscarriage, Lilian would be holding her grandson soon.Faced with L
"Julia, I've come to pick you up."Julia halted upon hearing it and slowly fixed her gaze on the man who unexpectedly appeared at the hotel entrance.‘Jared? Why does he come here?' She thought, her forehead wrinkled.“That’s him!” Carter realized Jared at first glance—the man who showed himself up at the Scott family's banquet and the same man Julia offered her kiss.Meanwhile, the guests gossiped about Jared’s sudden arrival, and they couldn't help but speculate about his relationship with Julia.On the other hand, Vivien fixed her eyes on Jared's alluring presence and pondered if he was Julia's boyfriend.“Why did you come here?” Julia questioned, wondering about his presence inside.‘He clearly stated thirty minutes. It’s still not time, yet he’s here. What is he thinking?'Before Jared retorted, he leaned close to Julia's ear while his thin lips almost kissed her skin, making everyone who witnessed quite feel intimidated."To help you." Only two words he whispered in Julia's ear
Before Carter's hand touched Julia's lovely skin, his arms were unexpectedly grabbed by someone at the side.As he brought his eyes to the side along the hand clasping his arm all the way, he met Jared's sharp gaze peeled on him.With Jared's face appearing cold and his inherent dignity, everyone who witnessed him would subconsciously want to surrender.Carter's heart raced, hearing it thud. All he thought, with his sharp gaze at Jared, would make Jared shrink back, but he didn't foresee he was the first to step back and lose.Didn't Julia find Jared as someone who could play to stimulate her? How could someone who only sold his body and soul for money have a fierce and cold aura that would make someone scared stiff?Especially the nobility he had, as if it was natural for him, because he had grown up in the upper circles for a long time.Still, Carter thought he might be overthinking as it was too good to be true. Carter was aware of and knew all of the celebrities in the upper circl
