Semua Bab Live Flesh: Bab 31 - Bab 40

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

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

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

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

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
