It took Eleanor a beat to fully process what she'd just heard.

Her grip on the phone tightened.

"What is that supposed to mean? 'Not getting divorced'?"

"Exactly what it sounds like."

His flat indifference set something off in her.

She'd sat here the entire day, waiting for the reporters to clear so they could finally, actually go through with this.

"Julian, are you messing with me right now?"

"Grandpa's in the hospital."

Her eyes went wide.

"Because of... me?"

Julian answered only with a cold

    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

  • The Wife He Never Knew   Chapter 207: The Staged Accident and the Blade Julian Took

    Eleanor was speechless at the text. She felt it must be truly hard on David to work alongside Julian.Once my company is bigger and stronger, should I try to poach David as my assistant?The thought struck her suddenly.But considering what Julian paid David, she figured she probably couldn't match it at this stage.Eleanor had originally had no intention of attending Cross Group's anniversary celebration, even though Julian had told her in advance.That was exactly why she had flatly refused to accept Cross shares before the divorce.Once you became a Cross Group shareholder, you inevitably had some connection to the Cross family.But to keep David from losing his job, Eleanor packed up her things and went downstairs.Downstairs, the royal blue Bentley stood out like a star sapphire, even under the deep night sky.Eleanor was taken aback.But she soon decided it made sense for David to be driving Julian's car.After all, David often drove Julian around."I'm sorry, David, for making

    "I'm targeting her?"Eleanor glared at Julian, and he turned his face away slightly.What is Julian feeling guilty about?He had been speaking up for Cassandra for quite a while now."If she hadn't hired someone to ruin my hand first, I wouldn't have bothered wasting my time on her."When Eleanor finished, Julian set down his water glass and said calmly:"That was Isabelle Frost.""Do you have any evidence that Cassandra wasn't involved?""Do you have any evidence that she was?"The living room went completely silent.Julian gritted his teeth. His eyes stung sharply, as if they were being burned.Because Eleanor was staring at him with angry eyes.He had come to see Eleanor tonight, and it really wasn't for Cassandra.Cassandra had come to him in tears, saying Eleanor had torn up her invitation and thrown her out like trash.She'd said Eleanor was going to destroy everything she had.Julian knew perfectly well that Cassandra wouldn't be destroyed by Eleanor.As long as he was willing

    Eleanor was a little surprised to find Julian downstairs at her home.She didn't see his flashy luxury car anywhere nearby, and he was dressed more warmly than usual. It made her wonder whether he hadn't driven at all and had walked here instead.Anson stopped the car right in front of Julian.From inside the car, he and Eleanor could see Julian clearly.And standing outside the car, Julian could clearly see Eleanor and Anson.Julian frowned, his displeasure plain on his face.Anson got out of the car at the same time as Eleanor.Julian could tell Anson was afraid he would bully her, and he couldn't help shrugging with a smile."Aren't you going to invite me up?"Eleanor noticed that Julian's nose was red from the cold, as if he had been waiting downstairs at her home for a long time.She couldn't help feeling surprised.Before the divorce, she didn't remember Julian showing up in front of her this often."If you need something, say it here."Eleanor's answer was exactly what Julian h

  • The Wife He Never Knew   Chapter 204: Lauren's Prince Charming, Eleanor's Unease

    The moment Eleanor stepped back into the hall, she saw a man holding Lauren by the arm.She had never seen that expression on Lauren's face before.Calling Lauren starstruck would be an exaggeration, but it wasn't far off.Lauren's eyes were wide as she stared at the man, her surprise and delight written all over them. She had clearly taken a strong liking to him.Eleanor was a little surprised.She had never expected Lauren to have a romantic encounter at the banquet, and love at first sight at that."Are you all right?"The man asked Lauren, but Lauren was still lost in his good looks.To Eleanor's eyes, he wasn't exactly a top-tier handsome man.He couldn't compare to Julian or Anson.But he had delicate features and a natural charm. In particular, he had a baby face that made him look younger, and his smile gave an impression of innocence and naivety.Eleanor knew this man.Or rather, she had seen him before.Back in Westmarch, she had accompanied Julian to a social event as his w

  • The Wife He Never Knew   Chapter 203: Julian Pays, Eleanor Tears Up the Invitation

    Eleanor raised her eyelids slightly.Julian, reflected in her eyes, looked very sure of himself.As if she had gone to all this trouble to get revenge on him because she cared about how he'd behaved.Eleanor knew Julian had always been arrogant.And he had every reason to be.But for the first time, she found his arrogance a little amusing."You take yourself far too seriously."After tossing off that line, she turned and went back into Lowell Couture. Then she walked out with Lauren and got into the car.Julian's tall figure stayed at the shop entrance, still as a statue.Inside the shop, Cassandra was still waiting for Julian to come comfort her.But even when Joanna was about to close up, Julian still hadn't come in.Cassandra had no choice but to walk out on her own."Julian..."She rubbed her swollen eyes and called to him.Julian didn't react.Cassandra was startled. She couldn't guess what he was thinking so intently.Julian didn't come back to himself until someone laid on a l
