Chapter 241

However, Cordelia said, "I can't tell."Perhaps she had met Julianne too few times, so she didn't see the resemblance."You don't think she's Julianne, do you? Do you still think Julianne faked her death and is still alive?" she asked.I was about to say that was exactly what I thought, but Cordelia spoke again."But I heard the housekeeper has been working at this hotel for over a year when I asked around earlier. Hasn't Julianne been dead for less than half a month?" she asked.I didn't know what to say because she had a point.Then, Cordelia added, "Besides, she wouldn't dare show up in such a place if she did fake her death, would she?"As a fugitive who had faked her death, Julianne should be hiding in some dark corner because she was too afraid to appear in broad daylight. She surely shouldn't be in a place like this."You have a point…" I was going to say more when my phone rang.It was Grandma. She told me she had a bad case of food poisoning and was having diarrhea

I wanted to see if the housekeeper had recently returned to the country and whether she had any interactions with Julianne.After I hung up the call with the private investigator, Cordelia looked at me. "Are you suspecting that the one who died wasn't actually Julianne but the real housekeeper, and that the current housekeeper is actually Julianne pretending to be her?"I nodded.I did have my suspicions because the silhouette of the woman I saw this afternoon really did feel like Julianne's.Cordelia fell silent, lost in thoughts.She found it hard to believe, but considering how many times Julianne had schemed against me, it wasn't entirely impossible.Especially since Julianne had always been abroad and had even studied at an art school in Felys.…The private investigator I hired was highly capable. He was the same one who had previously found out that Julianne had been legally married to Irvin's father.But this time, no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find any e

Although the weather was getting warmer, it was still just the beginning of spring. Yet, Noah would eat shirtless. For a moment, I didn't know whether to focus on my meal or his sculpted abs. When I had only looked at his face before, I only thought he had changed a lot and got so good-looking, completely different from before. But now that I saw his beautiful abs and toned muscles, I realized he had grown up.He was a full-grown man now.But still…"Aren't you cold?" I asked, looking at Noah, who was serving food without a shirt.I knew young men could be more resistant to the cold, but while I was still wearing a thin sweater, he had already stripped down to only wearing pants. That was a little crazy.Noah was silent."Put something on. You'll catch a cold," I said as I passed him a shirt.His grip on the spoon tightened slightly, and there was a flicker of complex emotion in his eyes. "Thanks, Lily."I was about to shrug it off, but then I suddenly realized something. "

I wasn't interested in an auction and was just about to turn him down, but I noticed the auction catalog in his hand.I narrowed my eyes when I spotted something inside. I examined it carefully, and after confirming that it was what I had been searching for, I got up to change my clothes.Noah was happy that I had agreed to go and went to change as well.Perhaps grown men were more conscious of their appearance, because by the time I was already dressed and ready, he still wasn't done.Just as I pulled out my phone and was about to play a game to clear my mind, Noah walked out.As he had put in the effort to dress up, he looked even more strikingly handsome than usual. I couldn't stop looking at him.Although he wasn't my brother, having such a handsome friend made me feel a little proud. Still, I could tell he was trying very hard to appear more mature.He was still a student, yet he was dressed in a suit, and his hair was slicked back, looking like a young CEO.…By the time

I was momentarily stunned. The woman who had placed the bid caught me looking at her. She flashed a smile and provocatively raised the bidding paddle in her hand.That familiar eyes and provocation made me tighten my grip on my own bidding paddle.It was Julianne.She wasn't dead. She was alive.Although that face wasn't exactly Julianne's, it more closely resembled the housekeeper, Julianne's cousin.However, her gaze and expression told me. It was Julianne.Seeing that face out of the blue left me so dazed that I didn't even notice the auctioneer calling out "ten million" for the third time.By the time I snapped out of it, the emerald pendants had already been sold for ten million dollars.I lifted my gaze, looking at her coldly.She wasn't afraid when our eyes met. Instead, she held onto the arm of the man beside her, looking extremely provocative.Only then did I recognize that handsome man. He was the one who had been picked up from the island by nearly a dozen helico

Her gaze and provocation felt like Julianne. However, her voice, directness, and innocence didn't seem like Julianne's.Julianne had always pretended to be delicate and innocent. Whenever she encountered a situation like this, she would whine and claim she was being slandered, unlike now.Was she putting on a new persona? Noah said coldly, "I'm talking about you, Julianne Sinclair! You want to charge me with slander, but do you even dare to call the police?""Julianne? You think I'm Julianne? You've got the wrong person, sir. I'm not my cousin. My name is Lumi Calder, Julianne's cousin," she said.Her words felt a little redundant, but she looked adorable. Even the powerful man beside her couldn't help but chuckle and ruffle her head.Encouraged by his affection, the woman who claimed to be Lumi grew even bolder. "And Julianne isn't a fugitive! She was framed by this wicked woman!"She pointed at me as she said that, her gaze filled with hatred, as if she wanted me dead."You'

"That's not important, and you don't need to know. All you need to know is that I'm keeping her for a reason," his uncle said.Noah frowned, about to say something.But the man's gaze darkened slightly as he continued, "I heard from Edric that you didn't even wait for your grandfather to be discharged from the hospital before rushing back to take care of her."Noah lowered his gaze and remained silent."Noah, I won't object if you want to relive your childhood warmth and fulfill your dream of dating someone you had feelings for. But you should know what your future holds. Don't take this too lightly."Noah's hands clenched tightly into fists at his sides."And you're not a child anymore. When I was your age, I was already carrying the weight of our entire family on my shoulders. Yet, you're still so reckless. "Today, you were affected by the sudden appearance of an insignificant woman. How do you expect to succeed like this? And the worse thing is you don't even realize that yo

After the so-called Lumi came back to her senses, she said, "You evil woman—"But I interrupted with a sneer, "Julianne, how could you wear the face of someone you killed and use it to seek justice for yourself. Aren't you afraid she'll come back to haunt you?"Although I didn't know how Julianne had made it happen, if she was still alive, then that burned corpse had to be her cousin, the real Lumi.She killed her and stole her face and identity.Now, she was even trying to avenge herself using Lumi's identity. If ghosts really existed, Lumi would probably turn into the most vengeful spirit in the world just to haunt her.But she was Julianne, after all, a woman who had the guts to commit murder multiple times and eventually succeeded. She had a terrifyingly tough mentality.Even after hearing what I said, her expression remained completely unchanged. She simply said, "Emilia, you're truly evil! How could you slander my cousin like this after killing her? I was really close with

Not long after Noah's uncle left, my bodyguard arrived. Regardless of whether he had overheard or guessed anything, I still had my bodyguard remove the faucet as planned.Just as we packed up to leave, I heard a voice."Emi."I turned, and it was actually Irvin.I couldn't help but think of how many unexpected things had happened tonight. I had only come to bid for the Quills' heirloom pendants, yet I ended up running into so many people.Seeing the faucet in my bodyguard's hand, Irvin's eyes darkened. Realizing something, I raised an eyebrow. "You must have met Julianne's cousin, Lumi, right?"Irvin didn't respond."You cared so much for Julianne and went to Felys with her countless times. There's no way you wouldn't know Lumi, right?" I continued. "Do you think this Lumi is the same person you met before?"After a brief silence, Irvin said, "Lianne is already dead."I chuckled, ignoring his words and turning to leave.But Irvin grabbed my arm, saying he had some company mat

Noah and I didn't continue the conversation.As we were about to get into the car, Noah's uncle happened to be leaving as well, surrounded by a group of bodyguards in black as he moved to his car.The woman who claimed to be Lumi clung to his arm, staring at me.Noah, who might have been upset with his uncle, remained silent, offering only a slight nod before getting into the car. Since his own nephew didn't say anything to him, I simply smiled at him before getting into the car as well.After we left, Lumi held onto the man's arm as she got into the car. Once inside, she affectionately called out, "William."She was about to say something when she suddenly sensed the chilling air from him, as if he could take her life in an instant. She immediately loosened her grip on his arm, not daring to say another word.The man was too unpredictable. He had always spoiled her, giving her anything she wanted because she had saved his life. Even if she asked for a star in the sky, he would
