MasukDiane rolled her eyes at Eleanor fiercely.But the word "shameless" caught in her throat, and she couldn't bring herself to say it.Because Eleanor had already divorced Julian. She was no longer a daughter-in-law of the Cross family.Logically, even if Eleanor had a new boyfriend, it wasn't the Cross family's place to interfere.But Diane just couldn't get past it.For Eleanor, an ordinary woman from a humble background, to marry into the Cross family had been a stroke of luck most women only dream of.Yet Eleanor hadn't appreciated her good fortune. She had kept saying she wanted to divorce Julian, causing a great deal of trouble and repeatedly dragging the Cross family into it.And now that she was divorced, she had immediately found a new man.Diane simply couldn't stand a woman as fickle and shameless as Eleanor.She tugged at Marcus's sleeve, signaling him to say something to Eleanor, but Marcus only gave Eleanor a glance full of dissatisfaction.The three Cross family members' e
She still remembered that on Valentine's Day, Anson had driven her to the rooftop restaurant on the 126th floor of Solstice Tower in Calderra.That was where she had run into Julian.At the time, Eleanor had naturally assumed Julian had brought Cassandra there to celebrate Valentine's Day.But in reality, she hadn't seen Cassandra at all that night.And of course, she hadn't seen Seraphine either.But for some reason, when Eleanor saw Julian appear at Seraphine's race, she inexplicably thought of that dinner above the clouds.Julian, that night...Was it really Cassandra he'd arranged to meet?Or was it...?"Eleanor... Eleanor?"Coming back to herself, Eleanor belatedly realized Tyler had been calling her."What's wrong?""You're asking me what's wrong? The race is already over."Eleanor stood up, and then Tyler asked her a question."Should we go find Julian?""No, let's not."Eleanor shook her head.Going to find Julian now would probably be a bother to him!Tyler stood beside Elean
Calderra, Starlight International Circuit.Eleanor and Tyler sat side by side in the stands. Tyler eagerly handed her the binoculars."It's about to start. Look over there... that's the lead driver of the Apex Racing team. She's the racing rookie I told you about. Since she joined Apex, they've been unbeatable... Her status in Calderra is about the same as yours back home. Quite a few people here know your name... oh, sorry, I should say Odette's name... so many people are curious. If you two racing goddesses ever met on the same track, who'd come out on top..."Tyler was talking away animatedly when he noticed that Eleanor's expression was very serious, which surprised him."Of course, I'm definitely on your side. I firmly believe that once you make a move, whether it's Calderra or anywhere else, goddess or not, she'll be trampled under your feet."Seeing Tyler's confident assurances, Eleanor's serious face softened into a smile.The race began.Car number 11 was far ahead of the pac
Eleanor wasn't unaware of the subtle expectation in Julian's tone.She smiled and answered casually:"Because I have a conscience. I won't kick a man when he's down."As she spoke, she took the oatmeal out of the food bag."Just conscience?"Eleanor paused."Eleanor, is it so hard for you to admit that you still have feelings for me?"Julian suddenly caught her hand.This time, his palm was warm.Julian thought she would shake him off right away.But Eleanor didn't."Julian..."She glanced at him sideways, her eyes as calm as a still pond.Julian's heart suddenly became unsettled."We were together before. You should know me... Just think. Three years ago, if you'd been in the hospital, would I have bought you oatmeal from the little place across from the hospital for dinner?"As Eleanor said it, the palm that held her hand suddenly turned cold.Julian's brows drew together little by little, and his expression turned very displeased.Eleanor was right.If it had been Eleanor three yea
"Isabelle Frost, what do you mean by this!"Isabelle looked up and saw Cassandra storming into her office, waving her assistant out.The assistant left, shut the office door, and locked Isabelle and Cassandra inside together."You have the nerve to question me? If I hadn't been trying to help you, would I have offended Julian?"Cassandra had come in full of anger, but hearing Isabelle's words, she immediately felt uneasy."So it really was Julian who brought down your Frost family?""Who else could it be but him!"Isabelle couldn't help rolling her eyes.She had originally thought Cassandra would be a good helper in dealing with Eleanor. But Eleanor had not only escaped unharmed, her career was flourishing.And look at Cassandra. She was nearly bankrupted by Julian. A once-prosperous socialite, now buried under a mountain of debt.The more Isabelle thought about it, the angrier she got."Cassandra, are you really Julian's first love? Julian is targeting our Frost family, obviously to
Julian's earlier car accident hadn't been her fault.But this time...Eleanor bit her lower lip, her brows drawn tightly together."Eleanor, Julian is awake, and he wants to see you."When Eleanor heard Marcus lean out of the ward and say this, she stood up at once.But when she entered the ward, everyone else had already left.As she brushed past Cassandra, Eleanor clearly saw Cassandra glare at her fiercely.Now only Eleanor and Julian remained in the room, and it was even quieter than the corridor.Eleanor looked at Julian lying weakly on the hospital bed. She was about to thank him when Julian said calmly:"Thank you."Eleanor was stunned.Why is Julian the one thanking me?It was clearly Julian who had taken the knife for her. She should be the one thanking him.But Julian's gaze was very sincere as he thanked her, which left her even more puzzled."No. You saved my life. I should be the one thanking you."Eleanor said it solemnly.Whatever his reason for taking that knife for he
