The Wife He Never Knew Chapter 199: Bitter Medicine, Warm Snow
When Julian woke up, he was in the hospital.His memory was fragmented, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't piece it together.How had he gotten here?He didn't know.He couldn't remember at all.His last clear memory was of the night before. He had followed Eleanor in his car until she got into Anson's.After that, the stomach pain had hit him hard, and he'd slumped over the steering wheel.Whether he had fainted from the pain or simply fallen asleep, he couldn't say.He must have stayed in the car all night, not far from Eleanor's home on Willow Street.Julian slowly raised his eyelids.The door to the ward opened, and a nurse walked in."Excuse me..."When Julian spoke, he was startled by how weak his voice sounded."Who brought me to the hospital?"The nurse tilted her head, as if searching her memory, and answered, "I don't know either. He said he was just passing by and didn't know you...""Just passing by..."Julian frowned and asked again:"Was it a man or a woman?"T

"So you think I bullied Cassandra?"Eleanor's voice was barbed the moment she spoke.Julian felt a heaviness in his chest.He shook his head, meaning to say, "That's not what I meant."But before he could finish, Eleanor cut him off."If Mr. Cross feels sorry for his first love, he should hurry up and go after her instead of wasting my time here."After saying this indifferently, Eleanor turned and went to mingle with Edmund Rowe and the others.Her title now was Vale, and everyone in the jewelry design world wanted to talk to her.Julian watched helplessly as Eleanor was surrounded by the crowd, and realized he couldn't get a word in.What he'd actually wanted to ask was what exactly had happened when she'd been attacked by those thugs."Ellie was indeed in danger, but I arrived in time to save her... Is there anything else you want to ask?"Anson's gentle, refined voice came from behind Julian.Julian frowned and turned around."Vale..."His voice stopped abruptly after he'd barely

The entire hall fell silent for a full three seconds, then erupted in a storm of shock.Seeing that Peter remained calm and composed, Lydia suddenly understood."Oh, so you already knew Eleanor was Vale?"Peter shrugged and smiled.Of course he knew.He was the one who had discovered Eleanor's hidden gift on the Halston University campus.Anson was one of the few who showed no surprise.He had worked it out on his own.The moment he'd seen the design style of the Piano line, he'd guessed the designer was Eleanor.The only person he could think of who would combine a piano with a wheel, and make a design with that fragmented feeling, was Eleanor.That was why, when he came back, he'd chosen the newest piano-themed music box as a gift for her.Because he knew she had designed it.Eleanor hadn't planned to reveal her identity as Vale at this competition.But since Cassandra and Isabelle had pushed her this far, she decided to go along with it.The reason she hadn't wanted to reveal it be

"...Eleanor."Cassandra froze on the spot, her feet rooted to the floor. She almost thought she'd misheard.Edmund Rowe was the first to applaud, and the others followed.All except Julian.Julian frowned, but there was no surprise or astonishment on his face.Eleanor stepped forward, every movement elegant and confident. She hadn't dressed up deliberately, but she was so beautiful that it was impossible to look away."Wait a moment!"Cassandra rushed over to the three judges."Are you sure you're not mistaken? How could Eleanor be the winner?"She no longer cared whether people thought she was a sore loser. She had to have an explanation."I can repair things much, much faster than she can, and weren't you just praising my craftsmanship?"Questioned by Cassandra, Edmund smiled calmly."Yes, Miss Vance, your craftsmanship is quite excellent. It's among the best in the country.""Then why?""Because we're judging by the domestic standard..."Catherine, standing nearby, chimed in.Only
The Wife He Never Knew Chapter 195: Speed Against Craft
When Lydia Ferrell raised her question, more guests began to notice Eleanor's hands.Cassandra saw that Eleanor's hands were still wrapped in bandages and secretly sneered.It seems Eleanor has already prepared her reason for losing.Eleanor glanced at Cassandra without meaning to.Though Cassandra had almost been late, she radiated a fearless, determined air, as if she were prepared to die for her goal.In fact, Cassandra was determined to win this live competition.She had no way out.Whatever it took, she had to beat Eleanor in front of Julian, and let him see with his own eyes that she was the outstanding, high-class woman who deserved him.For the competition, the Museum had provided Eleanor and Cassandra with two high-quality replicas of an antique piece of jewelry. The damaged parts were exactly the same as on the original, testing both women's craftsmanship and restoration skill.Only the one who stood out in the end would be qualified to restore the genuine antique.Soon, Mus

"On what grounds?"Eleanor immediately countered with a question."Because your hands are injured... In your current state, you wouldn't win even if you competed with Cassandra on the spot. You'd only embarrass yourself..."Before Julian could finish, Eleanor cut in with sarcasm:"Even if I lose face completely, it won't affect you, Mr. Cross. Will it?""Do you have to think of me that way?"Julian's expression changed instantly."You think I'm stopping you just to avoid losing face?""What else?"Eleanor had barely finished asking before she pretended to suddenly understand."Oh, right. And clearing the way for Cassandra by getting rid of me. You've done that before.""Eleanor!"Julian couldn't help getting angry.That wasn't what he meant at all.The restoration competition at the Valdorian National Museum had invited many renowned jewelry designers, collectors, and master restorers of antiques.They were all industry professionals.Eleanor's hands hadn't healed. If she went, she wo
