JULIAN

I lowered my phone slowly after Paige ended the call. For several seconds, I remained seated behind the steering wheel, staring through the windshield without really seeing anything. My hands gripped the wheel so tightly that my knuckles had turned white.

She knew where Evelyn was. I was certain of it.

Paige had always been protective of Evelyn, but this time there had been something different in her voice. She wasn't just angry. She sounded as though she believed I'd already lost the ri

  • Dumping My Ex For His Uncle   CHAPTER 50

    JULIANI walked into Sullivan Group later than I usually did that morning, mostly because sleep had completely abandoned me the night before. My mind had been stuck in the same loop since yesterday afternoon, replaying that disastrous lunch with Grandpa, Chloe showing up out of nowhere, and, underneath it all, the gnawing worry about where Evelyn had actually disappeared to.I had made up my mind that if I didn’t hear anything about her before the end of the day, I’d have her looked for by the same person who found her when she first left my villa.Staff greeted me as I passed through the lobby, and I nodded back out of habit more than actual attention, barely registering any of their faces.Daniel fell into step beside me the moment I reached my office, already rattling off my schedule for the afternoon—meetings, calls, and some contract review I honestly couldn’t focus on right now. None of it held my attention until he said something that made me stop walking completely.“Also, sir

  • Dumping My Ex For His Uncle   CHAPTER 49

    KAYDAI arrived at the company earlier than usual, mostly because I hadn’t slept well the night before, my mind was still stuck on everything that had happened over the last week. The withheld pay still stung, more than I wanted to admit to anyone, but what really kept me up at night was the humiliation of being forced to compete against Evelyn on the Riverside project, someone who had just spent a week at this company and now the new boss decided she deserved a shot at going head-to-head with me. Years of hard work, and suddenly I was being treated as if my seniority meant nothing at all because of one mistake Evelyn had happened to notice and correct.I pulled into my usual parking spot, gathering my bag from the passenger seat, when I noticed a familiar black car pulling into the parking lot and parking in the space reserved for Mr. Sullivan. My chest tightened slightly, a small, hopeful thought crossing my mind. Maybe I could catch him before the day got too busy and remind him pe

  • Dumping My Ex For His Uncle   CHAPTER 48

    EVELYNI had just stepped out of the bathroom, still towel-drying my hair, when a soft knock sounded at the door. I opened it to find Martha standing there with a black garment bag draped over one arm and a pair of heels in her other hand.“Mr. Sullivan asked me to drop these off for you,” she said, holding them out to me with a warm smile.“Thank you, Martha,” I said, taking the garment bag and the heels from her.She nodded and excused herself quietly, leaving me alone with the items. I laid the garment bag across the bed before unzipping it. Inside was a neatly pressed suit.The moment I pulled it out, I could tell just from the fabric that it cost more than I probably wanted to know. I slipped it on carefully, half expecting it to be slightly off in some way, the sleeves too long or the waist too loose, the way borrowed or guessed clothing usually turned out.Instead, it fit perfectly, like it had been tailored specifically for me. The heels fit just as well, not a size too big or

    JULIANGrandpa turned his attention to Chloe, studying her with the same sharp curiosity he used on everyone. “And who might you be, dear?”Chloe opened her mouth immediately, that same bright smile still fixed on her face. “I’m…”“She’s the wife of Gerald, a good friend of mine,” I cut in quickly, the words leaving my lips before I even had time to think them through properly. I had no idea where that particular lie came from, but the second it left my mouth, I realized how well it actually worked. Saying she was just a friend would have sounded thin and easy to question, especially with her standing there visibly pregnant. But a friend’s wife explained the pregnancy without raising any obvious red flags. At least, I hoped it did.I couldn’t let someone I had only ever seen as entertainment ruin years of careful planning, not when everything I had worked toward with Grandpa, the company, the inheritance, all of it, was still hanging by a thread.“This is my grandfather, Chloe,” I sai

  • Dumping My Ex For His Uncle   CHAPTER 46

    JULIAN"Oh Grandpa, Evelyn is not feeling well. She came down with the flu yesterday, and the doctor advised her to avoid any stress or visitors for a few days. I didn’t want to cancel the lunch, though, so I decided it was still a good chance to spend some time with you. It’s been a while since we had some grandfather-grandson time.” The corner of my lips lifted into a small smile. I kept my voice as level as I could manage, my hands resting flat on the table in front of me, doing everything possible to make sure my body language matched my words closely enough that nothing would give me away. Grandpa studied me for a long moment, his eyes narrowing in that way that always made me feel like he could see straight through whatever I was telling him. “Is that so?” He tilted his head slightly, his gaze never leaving mine. “Perhaps I should send my own doctor to check on her, just to be safe.” My stomach dropped instantly. "That’s kind of you, Grandpa,” I said quickly, trying hard to ke

    JULIAN“Sir, she still hasn’t been spotted at her apartment.” Daniel’s voice came through the phone, calm and professional, though I could hear the slight hesitation in it, like he already knew this news wasn’t going to make me happy.I kept pacing back and forth across my bedroom, my hand gripping the phone so tightly that my knuckles had gone pale. I had sent Daniel over to keep watch outside Evelyn’s apartment hours ago, thinking she’d have to show up eventually, but so far, there was nothing. And now the clock was working against me because it was only a few minutes until the time I had booked at Viktor’s restaurant, and I still hadn’t heard a single word from Evelyn since she ran out of the house last night.“Keep watching,” I told him, even though I already had a sinking feeling she wasn’t going to show up. “Call me the second you see her.”I ended the call and dropped onto the edge of my bed, running both hands through my hair. Paige had already been by Evelyn’s apartment earli
