Chapter 451

Julian watched Albert flare up in frustration, yet still failing to get to the point. That made him anxious too.“Dad, then what should we do now?”Carol was just as tense and couldn’t help but glance toward Albert.Faced with both their stares, Albert snapped.“Why are you both staring at me? Is there something on my face?”“You never try thinking of a solution yourselves. The moment something happens, you just look at me. Completely useless.”To be honest, Albert’s words were harsh—he dragged Carol into it too.Her temper flared up immediately. “What’s that supposed to mean?”“He’s not just my son. And this company isn’t mine alone. Why are you acting like everything was done for my sake?”Hearing that, Albert’s temper exploded too.The two of them started arguing on the spot.Watching them go at it, Julian felt a pounding behind his temples.Neither of his parents was reliable. Not even now when everything was already falling apart. All they did was fight, not a single useful ide

Chapter 452

Julian, as it turned out, was thinking exactly the same thing as his parents—he went straight to find Lily.Since the villa was his own property, he wasn’t as strict with her anymore. She only wore an ankle monitor, and the entire bedroom was her activity zone.Meals were brought to her by a housekeeper, left outside the door.Julian had made it very clear: just drop off the food, nothing more. There should be no questions and interactions.The housekeeper was a quiet, obedient woman. Julian paid her well, and she simply did her job—left the meals and walked away without asking anything. She was diligent and disciplined.When Julian arrived, she happened to be placing a meal tray at the door. Seeing him, she jumped in surprise.“Sir, I wasn’t expecting you.”“What, am I that frightening?” Julian narrowed his eyes, sensing something off.“No, no, I was just caught off guard. You usually don’t show up around this time.”Seeing her practically bowing to the floor, Julian let it slide

Chapter 453

It had to be said that everything Lily said hit the mark. She had nailed Julian’s current state down to the last detail, without missing a beat.She had seen through every blow he’d taken and frustration he’d buried.Watching the unhappy look on Julian’s face, Lily knew she’d won this round. There was no doubt about it.If nothing else, she was an excellent judge of character.“What’s the matter?” she asked, her voice laced with sweetness. “Did I strike a nerve?”Her smile was sultry, dangerously beautiful—even dressed in tattered clothes, she looked like a ravaged goddess.And in the next second, Julian’s hand was around her throat.His voice dropped to a menacing whisper against her ear. “You’ve got a death wish, don’t you? If that’s what you want, I can help.”His grip slowly tightened.For a moment, he genuinely wanted to kill her.Lily’s face turned ashen, her breathing cut off. But she didn’t struggle. Instead, she forced herself to speak—slowly, word by word.“I bet… you won

Chapter 454

Even after all this time, Lily still couldn’t shake the fear she felt toward Julian.But every day he didn’t show up was a day she could breathe a little easier.That was enough.She kept murmuring to herself as she glanced at the food on the table, then slowly walked toward it.With each step, the chain around her ankle clanked dully, metal echoing in the room.Her fists clenched. That chain—everything about it—was a mark of her humiliation.She was no better than an animal, locked away in this place, cut off from light, from life.How long would this nightmare last?…Judy, on the other hand, had been indulging in every luxury imaginable these past few days.Whatever the socialites did, she did too. And she played the game well.She spent most of her money on self-care, pampering herself from head to toe.Seeing her own transformation filled her with joy.Money really could change a person—not just in looks, but in presence.She thought back to the way people had been looking at her

Chapter 455

Her reaction caught Joseph off guard and left him wounded.After everything he’d gone through for Judy, he hadn’t expected her to push him away the moment she saw him.He stared at her, disbelief written all over his face. “Judy, what’s that supposed to mean?”“Did you mistake me for someone else? Look at me, really look. Do you even know who I am?”He pointed to his own face, as if that would somehow remind her.Judy, however, couldn’t help feeling a twinge of disgust at the sight of him—unkempt and scruffy. And the flicker of affection she’d felt earlier? She regretted every bit of it.What had she been thinking?She must’ve been starving to even consider this man appetizing. Compared to the Joseph of the past, this version had lost every ounce of charm.“I know exactly who you are. Just calm down,” she said coolly.These past days had opened her eyes. She’d seen a bigger world, realized there were always higher mountains and better people.Joseph? He no longer measured up.At the

“Besides, the most important thing is that your parents don’t approve of us. No matter what we talk about next, it’s all meaningless.”Joseph had no comeback for that. Her words hit their mark.All he could do was plead, “Judy, I really do care about you. Just give me a chance, will you?”She sighed. “You still don’t get it.”After all this time, Joseph still acted like a boy—naive, idealistic, refusing to face reality. It made her feel a flicker of guilt.Had she made him this way?No. It wasn’t her. It was that privileged identity he held so dear—the one that blinded him to the world outside his bubble, made him look down on anyone without the same name or pedigree.What he didn’t realize was that without people like her, the so-called elites would have no one to profit off.But Joseph still didn’t grasp her meaning. “Judy, what are you saying?”“Maybe I don’t understand, but you could just tell me. Don’t keep shutting me out. Don’t hide things from me.”Judy raised an eyebrow. It w

Chapter 457

It was the kind of thing that, if she repeated it out loud, even Judy wouldn’t believe it herself.“I…” Joseph hesitated, scratching the back of his head with an awkward smile, clearly unsure how to begin.Judy raised an eyebrow at the sight. “What are you being shy about now?”She didn’t hesitate to ask. Now that her rose-colored filter was gone, she looked at Joseph the same way she’d look at any other man—nothing more, nothing less.Pressed by her directness, Joseph finally started explaining everything he’d been up to these past few days.“I’ve actually been working at my family’s company. But I kept my identity hidden. No one knows who I really am.”“And?” Judy still didn’t quite buy it. A pampered heir working under the radar? Really?“It was something I asked my father for. I don’t want to drift through life anymore. I want to be with you sooner, and I know I have to earn it.”He paused before continuing, his voice steadier this time. “If I want to take over the company, I hav

Chapter 458

What a joke.Judy’s gaze hardened. “Joseph, the thing standing between us has never been you or me. It’s your parents and the gap between our worlds.“Who do you think I’ve been working so hard for? You think I’m doing all this just for myself? It was for us.”Joseph looked at her, completely lost. “What do you mean, for us?”But Judy had already turned away, throwing one last remark over her shoulder. “You figure it out. I have a client waiting.”“I’ll say it one last time—the problem between us was never just us.”She really didn’t have time to argue. A client was about to walk in, and she didn’t have the energy to deal with both Joseph and work at the same time.Trying to keep one foot in a collapsing relationship while smiling politely at a high-end customer? She wasn’t that kind of person.She closed the door behind her, leaving Joseph alone in the hallway.He stared at the office door, an ache curling in his chest—hard to name and harder to ignore.It felt like the whole world w

Chapter 459

He couldn’t keep drifting like this—lost, aimless, going nowhere.It wasn’t a solution. It wasn’t a life.As soon as he got back, Joseph marched straight into the company and went to find his father.“Dad, I don’t want to hide my identity anymore.”The words barely left his mouth before Albert’s blood pressure practically skyrocketed. “You ungrateful brat. What the hell are you talking about?”“So now everything’s on your terms? Should I just hand you the keys to the company and walk out?”Joseph took the verbal lashing without protest. “Alright, alright. I know I messed up. Just stop yelling, old man. I get it. But you can relax this time. I swear I’ll handle things properly. I won’t mess it up again.”He held up three fingers solemnly. “I swear, this is the last time.”Albert looked like he might pass out. He patted his chest to calm himself, mumbling under his breath, “He’s my son. My only son. I can’t kill him.”He was, after all, the Hunt family’s one and only heir.“So?” Albert

“And more than that, there’s someone I want to protect now.”As he spoke, Judy’s sweet smile surfaced in his mind.But Albert misunderstood immediately. His expression darkened.“You’re still thinking about Aurora?”His voice rose sharply. “I told you, the two of you are from completely different worlds. You’re not a match.”“Dad, it’s not…” Joseph tried to explain, but Albert didn’t give him the chance. He was already off on a rant of his own.“She’s signed a deal with Vanguard Group, she’s got overseas partnerships backing her. Being ‘Miss Walton’ is practically the least impressive thing about her now!”With that, Joseph was forced to face a truth he’d been avoiding for a long time: the chasm between him and Aurora wasn’t just wide; it was staggering.He hadn’t realized it before, but now? Now it hit like a freight train.“She’s really that capable?” he muttered, still clinging to the memory of the woman who used to make soup and wait for him at home.How had she transformed into s
