All Chapters of The Way She Sparkled: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Julia's Point of View"Mr. Garrison, here is Starlight Group's acquisition contract. I've already signed it," I said calmly as I gently pushed the folder to Chuck Garrison.Chuck glanced at the cover of the folder before looking up at me. "Julia, I'm sure you're aware that everything you've accomplished is all thanks to me."He didn't hesitate for even a second before he signed the contract."See you in three months at the usual place," he said coldly. "You know that I don't break my promises."I knew that Chuck was making up excuses to appease me when he claimed that he was only giving Starlight Group to Rebecca Kerry for three months.In the past, I would tearfully ask why Chuck always took Rebecca's side. However, this time, I simply lowered my head and picked up the contract he had just signed."I've already emailed you the company's handover checklist for the past few years."Chuck frowned when he realized that I was reacting differently than usual. Chuck was notorious w

I didn't answer Chuck's question. Instead, I turned around, grabbed Nancy, and left the party without any hesitation.I didn't expect Chuck to begin contacting me of his own accord after the party. He started sending me messages, asking trivial questions like "Dad's asking us when we're going to have dinner with them" and "Do you still want the document that you left in the study?".I didn't reply to any of them.Failing to get a response from me, Chuck began dropping by Nancy's house to look for me. I reached the end of my patience by the fifth time he knocked on the door and opened it. Part of me was actually curious about what he had to say to me."I heard that you willingly gave up on Starlight Group completely," Chuck said as he entered the house and sat on the couch. "There's no need to throw a tantrum, Jules. I know that you're just causing a fuss by giving up on the company because you're jealous of Rebecca."He was speaking flippantly, seemingly convinced that my actions

Third Person Point of View Chuck stood outside the restaurant for a long time, but he didn't receive any replies from Julia. He was stunned for a few moments before deciding to call her directly. When the call connected, he was greeted with a robotic voice informing him that Julia's phone was switched off.Panic gripped Chuck's heart, and he was assaulted with a feeling that he had never experienced before—a sense that he was losing control.In the seven years that they had been married, Julia had never once ignored his calls, let alone switched off her phone. Feeling frustrated, Chuck loosened his tie to force himself to calm down. He convinced himself that Julia was playing hard to get. She was throwing a tantrum just like last time, and it wouldn't take long before she returned of her own accord.That had been the dynamic of their relationship for the past few years, after all.However, Julia remained radio silent even after a few days had passed.Chuck couldn't sit around

While I was flourishing at my new company, Chuck was stuck in a downward spiral. He would search for me every day like a madman, completely ignoring the company's matters.When he finally learned that I was in Sormina, he took the first flight to the country and waited for me outside my office.Chuck was standing in front of a black Bentley when I strode out of the building. He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, but he looked utterly worn out."Jules," he murmured hoarsely as he took a step forward. "Let's talk."I halted my footsteps and quietly looked at him.Chuck had lost a lot of weight in the three months we hadn't seen each other, and he had dark bags under his eyes. He looked like a completely different person compared to the man who used to place himself on a pedestal and look down on me."I'll return Starlight Group to you right now, Jules. I've also chased Rebecca away," he said anxiously, his emotions rising. "Come home with me. Let's start over, okay?"I burst

Chuck's voice was trembling when he asked, "Are you saying that our feelings can't compare to what you have with Oliver, even though you've only known him for a few months?"As I looked at him, I couldn't help but feel that this entire situation was incredibly ridiculous. It had already come to this, but he still believed that the problem lay in the amount of time I had known Oliver."Do you still remember the day I had my miscarriage, Chuck?"Chuck whipped his head up. His eyes were sparkling as if he didn't expect me to bring up that incident."I passed out in the bathroom after bleeding out that day. I called you 17 times, but you didn't pick up a single one of my calls," I said calmly as if I was simply telling someone else's story instead of my own."When Nancy rushed me to the hospital, the doctor told me that it would be difficult for me to conceive again in the future. And where were you when this was happening? With Rebecca picking out presents."The color instantly drai
