Julia's sudden push caught Carter off guard, causing him to stumble and collide with a nearby flower stand. He winced and clutched his lower back, casting a disbelieving look at Julia.Before he could utter a word, Julia's voice rang out, brimming with anger."Carter! Did I wrong you in a past life? Are you determined to hound me like this? If you have something to say, say it directly to me! And now you've even come to find my brother! Are you attempting to use my brother to threaten me?"Conrad was an emotional trigger for Julia, an area she couldn't tolerate being touched. That's why her fury was so intense."You've misunderstood. I never meant to do anything to your brother. It's just that you've been avoiding me, refusing to see me, so I had no choice but to come here to find you," Carter explained."Do you think I'll believe that? You didn't mean to do anything to my brother? Then let me ask you, who broke his ribs? Who made him suffer in the hospital for so long?" With each sen

Amid Vivien's rapid heartbeat, her thoughts raced.'No! It can't happen! Absolutely not!'Unable to devise an alternative plan, Vivien deliberately allowed her phone to slip from her grasp, resulting in a crashing sound that resounded throughout the room. In response, Carter's actions of taking out the documents immediately froze, his gaze shifting toward the source of the noise. Only then did he acknowledge Vivien's presence. But what caught his attention the most was her pale face, which caused his brows to furrow in concern."Vivien, you…" Carter's attempt at addressing her was interrupted as he witnessed Vivien dissolve into tears, her eyes imploring and desolate. On her face, there was also an expression of disbelief."Carter, Carter..." Her voice quivered as tears cascaded like a torrent. "You really went ahead with the verification? Don't you... trust me? I know that in your heart, I'll never mean as much as Julia. No matter what I do for you, I'll always fall short compared to

Julia's eyebrows twitched upward, a hint of amusement lighting up her expression. Her guess was spot on."Exciting, huh? You mean the whole 'relieving oneself indiscriminately' thing?" Julia's retort prompted a sudden hush on the other side of the line.After an awkward pause that lasted a good dozen seconds, Joseph cleared his throat several times, trying to smooth out the weird vibes. "Uh, Madam, can we maybe pretend this call never happened?""Fine by me.""What do you mean, 'fine by me'?" Jared strolled up, spotting Julia holding his phone."Oh, it was just Joseph calling. Figured it could be something important from the company, and since you left your phone, I picked it up," Julia explained with a nonchalant nod.'Joseph called?' Jared's eyebrows knitted together.Julia handed the phone back to Jared. The call was still ongoing, and Joseph had heard every word they just exchanged, leaving a pretty bitter taste in his mouth.Holding the phone to his ear, Jared asked, "Did you say

Witnessing Conrad's departure from the company, Julia's heart was aflutter. Could he really be an employee here now?"I have no ties to you anymore. No explanations necessary," Conrad declared, his gaze softening as he regarded Julia. His usual gentleness and humility returned as he said, "It's rather windy outside, go on in.""Very well," Julia agreed, clasping her elder brother's hand as they made their way towards the company entrance.Karla, meanwhile, seethed on the sidelines, her anger bubbling over. "Conrad, what's the point of your amiable façade now? The Watson family has shown you the door – you're left with nothing!"Julia paused, turning to face Karla squarely. "Nothing? Does that mean I can't start anew from scratch?"Karla let out a mocking laugh, a sneer contorting her face. "Starting from nothing? What a grand illusion! Without resources, your talk of a fresh beginning is just wishful thinking.""You really do underestimate people," Julia began before Conrad intervened

As Henry's words subsided, he turned to catch sight of Jared's ominous expression."What's with that look?" Henry patted his chest, taken aback by Jared's sudden intensity."You can't pursue her," Jared stated firmly."Why?" Henry's confusion was palpable as he glanced at Jared."Do you know who she is?""Who? I'll pursue anyone I want. I'll even pursue a neighboring country's princess if I feel like it."Jared's eyes darkened as he said impassively, "My wife."Henry's pupils dilated upon hearing this, his gaze darting between Jared and Julia."She's... the woman you got hitched to?"Having been overseas, Henry had only recently returned to the country and was unaware of the events that had transpired. He knew of Jared's commitment to marriage but had yet to meet Jared's wife."No way! With your medical background, I figured she must be older, maybe in her 40s or 50s. I didn't expect her to be so young and stunning."Henry's eyes remained fixated on Julia as he spoke. Her exquisite fe
