The woman’s name was Leila Madison. She had a face that bore a seventy-percent resemblance to Ivy, and her body was so frail that she was bedridden most of the time; she truly did require someone to provide around-the-clock care.

Julian was a man; it wasn't appropriate for him to do it.

Summoning Vanessa served two purposes: first, she was a suitable fit for the task, and second, it was a way to humiliate her. For him, it was killing two birds with one stone.

For Vanessa , however, it was addin

    Adrian’s face suddenly turned ashen. Julian didn’t bother to appreciate his guilt and got up, walking out without realizing he was heading towards Vanessa’s place.He stood in the snow for a long time.Alcohol washed away his reason. Julian went upstairs, hesitating as he raised his hand to knock, but finally let it fall.The moment the door opened, Vanessa frowned, unwilling to say a single word before shutting it. Julian didn't stop her, his voice quick, "What's your relationship with that ex-con?"Without even a moment’s pause.The door swung open again.Vanessa was both angry and anxious, filled with sorrow and hatred, and slapped Julian hard.The narrow, turbulent room was a mess.Many things had been knocked over. Vanessa had nowhere to retreat and was pinned against the loveseat. Julian’s shadow loomed over her like a dark cloud, able to restrain her with a single hand.Her chin was l

    Following Vanessa wasn't difficult.Jerry was becoming quite adept at it.He was dozing off in the car, when he squinted and saw her walking out with a man. They hailed a taxi at the roadside and got in together.Jerry quickly started his car and followed them to a restaurant, where he watched Vanessa attentively lead the man inside.Through the window, Vanessa handed the menu to the man across from her, with a rare smile.It was the kind of smile she used to reserve for Julian.Vanessa's eyes welled up with tears, her gaze meticulously tracing Dominic's face. She recalled that winter, when she was kicked out of the house by her father and nearly froze to death.She had called Julian a dozen times, but he never answered. It was Dominic who came to her, offering her a piece of warm clothing, defending her to her father. He took a beating for it, yet still tried his best to protect her."I'm sorry I haven't visited you these past

    The car door slammed shut.Julian finished his cigarette, turned the steering wheel, and drove back. He even bought some medicine for swelling and pain relief, which was probably the first time he'd taken the initiative to treat a woman like this, especially one who didn't appreciate it.The stairs were narrow and steep, the light was broken, and there were no windows, making it necessary to be careful even during the day.Julian's footsteps were light, but before he reached the top, a voice drifted down from above.It was Vanessa."I've been held up with some things these past few days, but I'll wire you the money in a few days," she said, her voice careful and almost pleading.Julian clenched the medicine in his hand, watching the figure on the stairs. Vanessa stood there, looking like she was about to cry. "I know I owe you, and I'll give you the money. I won't cheat you."He didn't go up.Julian went back downstairs and threw all the medicine into the trash can.His face was terri

    Rose averted her gaze, startled, and suddenly saw Julian, who had arrived unnoticed. He was expressionless, his eyes fixed on Vanessa's back.Julian's presence exuded a chilling pressure.As he approached, Rose involuntarily lowered her hand and weakly said, "Julian..."Julian didn't even glance at her.His gaze remained fixed on Vanessa as he addressed Rose, "Who told you to come here?""I couldn't find you, so wasn't my only option to come find her?""Ridiculous." Julian scoffed. "If you can't find me, what good is finding her? What relationship do I have with her?"These were words spoken in anger.Rose went over and affectionately took Julian's arm, shooting a resentful glare at Vanessa. "But I heard that on Aunt Evelyn's birthday, she seduced you and slept with you. Is that true?"Bringing up such things here was disrespectful to Vanessa.Rose didn't care about any of that. She wanted to humiliate Vanessa."Just tell me it was her, and I won't blame you. Our engagement will conti

    These were all the words from the heart.So sincere that they hurt.Vanessa's lips were also stained with Julian's blood, just a little red, yet it made her look even more vibrant and her attack even stronger. "To put it bluntly, I truly regret why I was so devoted to you back then."She wiped the blood from her lips, scoffed, and turned to leave.Julian didn't chase after her.He touched the wound on his lips, finding a kind of pleasure in the pain. Even being hated was better than nothing at all.Having shaken off Julian's entanglement, Perry was waiting for her again.Not wanting to be seen in such a disheveled state, Vanessa hid to the side, waiting for who knew how long before Perry took a phone call and left.She rushed to the Voss residence.The first person she saw was Adrian, sitting downstairs.He glanced at Perry, as if watching a joke.Perry walked past him straight to Cameron's study upstairs. His face was ashen, and his mood heavy. Standing before Cameron, he was about t

  • Mr. Frost’s Reluctant Prisoner Bride   Chapter 65

    Julian was born arrogant, with high expectations for the women by his side – family background, personality, looks, all had to be satisfactory. These women were clearly not, but Vanessa…She was, after all, somewhat different.But she was no longer the Voss family's eldest daughter. Although his feelings for her had changed, all he could offer her was the position of a mistress.He had always been domineering.Whatever he wanted, no matter the person or the thing, he had to obtain it by any means necessary.Released from house arrest, Julian drove alone, waiting on Vanessa's usual route. She hadn't completed the marriage certificate with Perry. Her head was lowered as she walked ahead, her figure cast on the ground, fallen leaves as accompaniment. From afar, she looked very lonely.Julian stood in the wind, dignified and precious from head to toe, in stark contrast to Vanessa's appearance.They were no longer people of the same class.But that was precisely what made it more interesti
