Semua Bab Revenge After Rebirth: No Longer Yours, Ex!: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Julia’s POVI remember! Yes, I finally remembered! I remembered that in the previous life, there was a report that this journalist, William, had died from an overdose of banned drugs.The news had barely made a ripple. A disgraced reporter, found in a cheap hotel room, his career already in shambles. They called it an accident, but anyone who had followed his downfall knew the truth. Determined, I reached out to him over the phone. His mobile number was everywhere, so it wasn’t difficult to get.“Mr. William Pratt.” I called out, my voice sounding professionally as I didn’t give him any chance to respond and then I continued.“I have a job offer for you. Something big.” I paused and then continued. “With huge pay.” Then, he finally spoke. “I’ll be sending you my address. Looking forward to seeing you.” He added and then ended the call.I arrived at the address William had given me earlier, a small office tucked away in a nondescript building. William sat behind his desk, fingers dr

Julia’s POVWilliam did a great job. He didn’t have a choice, did he?I had barely reached the door to my room when I suddenly heard a loud crash from the sitting room. It was a very loud thud as if something had fallen and not just that, I could hear Scarlett’s cursing voices.I rushed out. The sight that met my eyes made me stop in my tracks. The television mounted in the sitting room was laying on the ground, its screen shattered into countless jagged pieces. And standing over it, stepping on the broken shards without a care, was Scarlett. She continued to step on it in rage as she screamed at the top of her lungs in frustration.“William, you son of a bitch!” She cursed. “I know he did this!” She screamed again, grabbing a piece of the broken TV as she hit it countless times on the ground, her hands trembling in fury with little cuts from the broken TV as blood dripped down her hand but she didn’t care or seem to notice.I had seen Scarlett angry before, but this? This was beyond

Julia’s POVI stormed back into the meeting room, my pulse raging in fury as my eyes were still locked onto Alex, who is now seated.I stilled myself as I tried to be calm and afterwards, I spoke calmly to Alex.“May I have a little time with you?” I questioned. “Please meet me in my office.” I added and then left the meeting room and headed to my office while Emily walked alongside me.Reaching inside my office, “Emily,!” I called, “The meeting is over, announce to everyone.Emily, standing near me with startled eyes, gave a nod before walking out.. Just a few minutes after I sat, the sound of my office door opening caught my attention. I looked up to see Alex. He stepped forward, his both hands in his pocket.“Scarlett and Jake are not here yet.” He said casually but his statement made me boil in anger. I knew he was behind this. In fury, I approached him and grabbed him by the collar.“What the hell have you done?” My voice was a growl, my grip tightening around his expensive bl

Julia’s POVLucas understood the situation I was in, he didn’t question me further.“Hand the phone over,” he instructed.I switched the phone to speaker mode and extended it to the officer, who took it hesitantly after giving me a short glare.“This is Lynwood,” Lucas introduced himself as I could see the way the officer composed only by Lucas’s voice. “I assume you’re familiar with my name.”The officer swallowed audibly. “Y-yes, sir.”“Good. Then I trust you understand that when I make a request, I expect it to be met without unnecessary delays. The lady in front of you…” Lucas paused, as if giving the officer a moment to grasp the situation fully, “Is in urgent need of CCTV surveillance access, and you’re standing in the way of an ongoing investigation.”“Sir, I…”“I don’t want excuses,” Lucas interrupted smoothly. “Grant immediate access. Right now.”The officer glanced at me and nodded. “Understood, sir. My apologies for the delay.”“You’ll also ensure no further interference.

Julia’s POVI placed my hand on my head, slightly pressing my temples as if that would somehow force my memory to work. Celeste’s birthday. When was it again? It was right there, just at the edge of my mind, but the more I tried to grasp it, the more it slipped away.Then, a memory flashed into my head.Alex had once handed me a set of gifts that Celeste didn’t want. He had handed a green velvet little box to me, nonchalantly.“Since Celeste doesn’t want these, she suggested I give them to you instead. You should thank her.”While holding the box, I stared at the box, my fingers caressing around the packaging with a smile. Even though it wasn’t directly bought for me, I cherished it considering the fact it was Alex who had given it to me. “Thank you.” I said but his response was cold.“There’s no need for that.” He added. He had walked away immediately, as if the mere act of giving me something was an inconvenience.I carefully studied the box before opening it and to my surprise, it
