Chapter 31: It Still Has to Be You

This statement, a truth, yet not entirely a truth.Morgan Byron was both surprised and unsurprised.The Juliet Wagner in front of him, he could understand, yet at the same time, he couldn't.In fact, two weeks ago, he already knew that Juliet Wagner had entered the country.This kind of thing couldn't be hidden; she couldn't exactly fly back with wings from abroad.So, when her parents came to make a fuss, and then her siblings, he always knew that Juliet Wagner was alive and well.He wanted to see what game she was playing.Therefore, he took his time, watching how her drama would unfold and how it would end.Sure enough, today, a new character appeared—her best friend, Jessie Watt.This tactic of feigning retreat to advance was rather clever.But asking if she loved him was not part of Morgan Byron's plan.Juliet Wagner's answer also caught him off guard.He thought she would take this opportunity to confess to him.He looked into Juliet Wagner's eyes, which were as lumi

Chapter 32: Giving Each Other a Way Out

"Hongtai and Jiahe were both my contacts before. I haven't completed the resignation procedures yet, so technically, Nina has been helping me with everything," she explained."Then what about those days you were absent?" Morgan Byron looked at her. "Did you take leave from the company?""It was my mistake." She lowered her head, looking submissive. "I should have contacted the company right after the surgery. My body hadn't fully recovered, but it's ultimately my fault. Mr. Byron can punish me however he sees fit."Her attitude of taking responsibility was sincere, as if all of Nina's mistakes were hers to bear. This was always her style, which is why she was well-liked by everyone in the secretarial office. She knew how to win people over, and this was quite important. Especially during the period when Juliet Wagner was absent, Morgan Byron felt deeply that even a small matter could result in vastly different outcomes depending on how it was handled.After a brief pause, he took t

Chapter 33: Doomed Love

When Juliet Wagner put her phone back into her bag, her fingers touched the jewelry box that Morgan Byron had returned to her. Inside was the Imperial Jade bracelet given to her by Senior Mrs. Byron. She had asked Jessie Watt to return it to Morgan Byron, thinking she had gotten rid of a hot potato, but now it was back in her hands. The bracelet was something she couldn't sell and didn't dare wear. For Juliet Wagner, no matter how valuable the Imperial Jade was, it was worthless—more of a burden than anything.Lost in thought, she noticed a taxi approaching and hurriedly waved it down while walking towards it. At that moment, someone rushed past, not noticing her, and they collided. Her shoulder bag fell to the ground, its zipper still open, and the contents spilled out with a jingling sound. As if fate had it, the jewelry box also fell, the clasp loosened upon impact, and the bracelet inside tumbled out, breaking into several pieces with a crisp snap.The other person quickly apolog

Chapter 34: Clearly Priced

Tim Cronin escorted Juliet Wagner back to the hospital, insisting on seeing her to her room. Jessie Watt had been waiting for Juliet Wagner for a long time and was about to go to the entrance to meet her when she happened to bump into them.Jessie Watt curiously sized up Tim Cronin, "This is...""I'm Tim Cronin," he extended his hand warmly to Jessie Watt, "I'm a friend of Juliet Wagner's."Jessie Watt was puzzled, "Where did you come from as a friend?"He seemed quite at ease, and even Juliet Wagner wasn't sure what kind of friend he was. At most, she considered herself his creditor.Juliet Wagner's leg was in bad shape, and after running around all day, she needed to lie down and rest. Jessie Watt was holding a thermos, ready to go get some hot water, but Tim Cronin immediately took it from her, "Let me do it, let me do it."He ran out with the thermos, and Jessie Watt watched his retreating figure, confused, "Where did he pop up from? I didn't know you had other friends beside

Chapter 35: A Mere Conspiracy

Morgan Byron finished what he needed to do and rose from his chair."Get some rest, and come back to work once you've recovered."He walked to the door, then paused and turned back with a smile. "My mother told you, right? I'm going to marry Helen.""Congratulations." Juliet Wagner's lips were stiff as she forced a smile. "Mr. Byron finally found the most satisfactory replacement for himself."The word "replacement" was somewhat jarring.Morgan Byron's gaze lingered on her for a few seconds before he smiled again. "Of course. If you looked a bit more like her, I might have married you instead.""It doesn't matter. I'm just someone else's replacement anyway.""Do you want to replace Helena?""Who wouldn't? Mr. Byron, people's desires always grow. But, I'm fine with having money and a house." She picked up the card from the bedside table and waved it at him. "If I were with someone else, I wouldn't get such a price."Morgan Byron seemed to lose interest in continuing the convers

Chapter 36: My Duty

"Who would complain about being perfect? But, would anyone deliberately make themselves imperfect?""Everyone who comes for plastic surgery thinks their template is perfect, but there are exceptions." The acquaintance said, "For example, my last patient today. Her original nose was already very beautiful, but she insisted on making the tip rounder. Although the cute look is in fashion now, it's really unnecessary."Juliet Wagner smiled and replied, "Everyone has a different perception of beauty.""That's true. You shouldn't get any work done; you're already pretty enough.""I wouldn't. Besides, plastic surgery can have side effects, and you need constant touch-ups later, right?""It depends on what kind of procedure and how well you recover.""So, Teresa Smith came for a repair, then?""During her eye corner surgery, her conjunctiva was injured, causing frequent inflammation. Do you know her?""She seems to be the sister of an old classmate, but I didn't recognize her after all

Chapter 37: Jingmo

He pushed away the hand she had seemingly carelessly placed on his knee: "Ms Wagner, in such a solemn office, you should show some self-respect."This was quite a harsh statement; anyone with a bit of dignity would feel both humiliated and indignant.But Juliet Wagner still smiled brightly, getting up at her own pace: "Mr. Byron, then I'll go call The Director now."She turned towards the door, her high heels clicking loudly. It wasn't clear if it was because her leg hadn't fully recovered, but today her hips swayed more than usual.She didn't walk like this before.The thing is, it wasn't unattractive; one could even describe it as alluring.The seduction was blatant, almost as if written across Juliet Wagner's forehead.Juliet Wagner's network was extensive and tightly woven. Even the PR manager of Guannan couldn't secure a meeting with The Director, but Juliet Wagner managed it with just one phone call.Of course, Morgan Byron wouldn't believe the flimsy excuse that The Dire

Chapter 38: Shackles

The room was dimly lit, but Juliet Wagner's eyes sparkled with a captivating allure.She was utterly charming.He remembered the first time they were together; her eyes had been just like this.Her lips, too, were just as moist and warm.She exuded a myriad of charms, a thousand forms of seduction.Initially, Morgan Byron hadn't planned to sleep with her.It was Juliet Wagner who, after drinking too much that night, had initiated it with a hint of seduction.But her seduction was different from that of other women.It wasn't coy or half-hearted, not at all like playing hard to get.She was aggressive.Her unwavering gaze, filled with hooks, locked onto him.Her smooth, slippery arms, which wrapped around his neck, felt like two serpents gliding over his body.Once entangled, she wouldn't let go.With just one sentence, she froze Morgan Byron, who was about to push her away.She leaned in, her eyes seductive, her breath sweet."I love you."At that time, she had only bee

Chapter 39: She Would Die for You

Chained as he was, Morgan Byron still opened the door and walked out.Because the Juliet Wagner before him reminded him of the girls he had a crush on during his college days.Passionate, unrestrained, brimming with vitality.They were the antithesis of Helena Byron.Perhaps they truly liked him very much.Perhaps, Juliet Wagner really loved him.But he was definitely not their only one; without his love, they would not die.But Helena Byron truly would.Morgan Byron quickly left Juliet Wagner's building, calling The Driver to come pick him up immediately.While waiting for The Driver, he subconsciously looked up at the building.On a certain floor's balcony, he saw a figure sitting on the railing, her back to him.She wore a red dress, the sashes at her waist loose, fluttering in the air like two red snakes entwined in a vigorous dance.Juliet Wagner!It was Juliet Wagner. What was she up to now?Most likely, she wasn't drunk at all.This was just another one of her sch

Chapter 40: The Wedding Dress

To Zhanjingmo's surprise, Juliet Wagner came to work the next day.However, she was limping more severely than before. Nevertheless, she looked as if nothing had happened, as if nothing out of the ordinary had occurred last night. She even managed to make coffee for Zhanjingmo and deliver it without spilling a drop, despite her limp. This was indeed a remarkable feat. She didn't mention anything about what happened yesterday, but when she turned around, Zhanjingmo noticed a large bruise on her elbow where her sleeve was rolled up. Although an air cushion could prevent death, it didn't mean one wouldn't get hurt; otherwise, her leg wouldn't be this badly injured. Zhanjingmo didn't say a single word of concern, nor did he ask any questions, his coldness reaching its peak. Even Lily and the others asked her what happened, to which she simply replied, "I bumped into a door."Despite her injuries, she didn't slack off in her duties, and the quality and speed of her work remain
