But then, Julissa had a sudden thought: what if Scott was already on his way?And her parents... if she died, how devastated would they be?Thinking of this, Julissa decided not to give up. She would take one last gamble.Jumping was inevitable, but she couldn't do it with the mindset of wanting to die. She needed to find a way to minimize her injuries.After she jumped, the Mediterranean man definitely wouldn't dare to follow. He would go downstairs and out the factory's main gate. Those few minutes would be her key opportunity to escape.With that thought, Julissa stopped hesitating.She turned around, and before the man could grab her, she leapt off the rooftop.The moment her feet hit the ground, a sharp pain shot up from her feet, as if she had landed on a razor-sharp blade.Her body rolled forward to cushion the fall, but since her hands were still tied behind her back, her face hit the ground, scraping a large area.But none of that mattered. The important thing was that she di

Scott's mom replied, “You need to persuade Scott to stop taking revenge on Samuel. It’s time for him to let it go.”Julissa had already guessed that Scott wouldn’t easily let Samuel and Heather off the hook—he would definitely seek revenge for her.During this time, she had also been feeling uneasy. Now, with her future mother-in-law showing up at her door and asking her so anxiously to persuade Scott to stop, her anxiety only grew.So, Julissa continued, “What exactly has he done?”Scott's mom fell silent for a couple of seconds before responding with a pained expression, “To avenge you, he’s willing to stake everything on the the Nichols Group and fight Samuel. He plans to suppress Samuel’s company until the Keller family goes bankrupt, and then completely expel them from Elfhedge.”Had Scott's mom not said the first part, Julissa would have thought Scott was incredibly handsome and satisfying her revenge. After all, Samuel had done countless evil deeds, and Scott’s actions could be

The diamond ring could have been given to her earlier, but it just didn’t feel romantic enough to give it in the office.Scott knew very well that he wasn’t exactly romantic. He was blunt with his words, rarely did romantic gestures, and wasn’t particularly good at making girls happy.This had been pointed out many times by Kendrick and Seamus.Seamus was sweet-talking by nature. He not only knew how to charm with honeyed words but also spoke with genuine sincerity. If he wanted to pursue a girl, all he needed was his smooth talk to win her over.Kendrick wasn’t any less impressive either. He had a high emotional intelligence and had used all his cleverness to win over his artistic and delicate little wife. Later, he treated Annabelle with extreme gentleness, and with his carefree personality, he could always create surprise trips, whisking her off on spontaneous adventures.In comparison, Scott sighed, pressing his temples. He didn’t make many romantic gestures, but his girlfriend ce

"Scott..." Julissa started to speak but then stopped, laughing. "I’ll just call you Mr. Nichols, it feels so awkward otherwise."Awkward?Scott held her chin, making her look him in the eyes. "You've even called me 'husband,' and now calling me by my name feels awkward?"He really wanted to understand what was going on with Julissa today.She seemed to feel embarrassed, her voice trembling as she said, "Mr. Nichols, let me go wash up first."Her small face, pinched by his hand, made her words unclear, and her eyes even looked a little pitiful.Scott stared at her for a while, then finally released her.Julissa flipped over and got out of bed, removing the ring from her finger.Scott’s face darkened.She hurriedly explained, "I don't want it to get wet, and it's too big, it's inconvenient to wear."Scott didn't force her but soon got out of bed himself and went to another bathroom.Standing under the shower, Scott’s mood grew more restless.Although he had asked Julissa before if she w

After getting ready, the two of them headed to the supermarket.Julissa had an injury on her foot, and technically, she shouldn’t be walking around too much.But Scott wanted more ordinary, everyday moments with her—shopping together, cooking together, just being around each other. Maybe then, she’d open her heart to him a little sooner.At the supermarket, Scott kept a close eye on Julissa’s mood. Aside from looking a little tired, she seemed the same as usual.The fatigue, he figured, was probably from what had happened between them before they left the house. He had been too rough with her in a moment of emotional outburst…Now that he had calmed down, Scott couldn’t help but feel a little guilty. He cleared his throat and asked, “Your foot… is it okay?”Julissa shook her head and smiled. “It’s almost healed, I barely feel anything.”“That’s good. Let me know if you get tired.”“I’m fine, really.”She gave him a smile and turned her attention to the shelves.To be honest, Scott was
