The private room wasn't crowded. Since his marriage, Julian rarely frequented such places. Adrian was about to get married, making it even more crucial that the Zimmerman didn't find out.However, Monica's demands weren't that high.All she asked was for Adrian to maintain a basic level of loyalty.When the door opened, a flicker of panic crossed Adrian's eyes. He quickly stood up, pulling Monica to sit beside him. “Why didn't you say anything when you arrived?”“I just happened to be walking by, and I guessed you'd be here.”Monica glanced at Julian, who was standing nearby. “Guess who came with me?”“Who?” Adrian followed Monica's gaze to Julian. “Why are you looking at him?”“Because Vanessa came with me.”At the mention of Vanessa's name, Julian's eyelashes trembled slightly. “Vanessa came with you?”Monica leaned against Adrian's sho

A sharp, stinging pain pierced Vanessa's ear the moment the medicine was applied, making her entire body tremble. Julian watched from the side, his heart clenching in pity.“Let me help you.”“No need.”Vanessa snatched the medicine away, evading Julian. She seemed to be deliberately avoiding something. Julian followed, seeing her eyes, red-rimmed from pain, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.“Does it hurt a lot?” Julian couldn't bear to see Vanessa in pain. “How about I find you a better doctor? We can just do surgery to fix it?”Setting the medicine down, Vanessa shook her head, her expression cold.Cameron's slap had damaged Vanessa's recently healed ear. Though she hadn't said anything these past few days, Julian could tell she was in pain—a pain that penetrated to her very bones, accompanied by hidden memories of the past.Even when sleeping, she had to avoid pressi

When Julian returned, Vanessa happened to be on a call from an unfamiliar number.It was Perry's voice on the other end. His tone was stiff, each word precise as he said, "Miss, I understand you've married Mr. Frost and I've long given up hope, but I just don't know why Mr. Frost keeps warning me time and again to stay away from you."This wasn't a smart move.But Perry's goal was precisely to show Vanessa his mortified anger and feigned clumsiness.Yet her reaction was clearly not what he'd anticipated. "What did Julian tell you?""Nothing much, it's just that in public, I still hope he can show me some respect. I believe I haven't bothered you since we broke up, and I haven't shown up even once after you got married."These words sounded perfectly righteous.If she hadn't met Belinda, Vanessa might actually have been fooled by him.She heard approaching footsteps.Vanessa adopted an even colder, more unyielding tone. "But you know what you did, don't you?"The door opened.Vanessa s

Jerry exited after delivering his message. Julian shut the file on his desk and then, with a click, brought up the monitoring system installed on Vanessa's phone.She was meeting Harvey again.Their conversation reeked of disdain for his marriage."He wants to adopt a child. It has nothing to do with me." Vanessa's voice was utterly dismissive.Harvey, however, didn't buy it. "Vanessa, that's a child, not some stray cat or dog. You spend enough time with them, you'll develop feelings."Vanessa shook her head. "I don't develop feelings for anyone.""Julian treats you this way, and you genuinely feel nothing?"Harvey's question was precisely what Julian longed to know, but he lacked the courage to hear the answer. He shut off the monitoring, rose, grabbed the files Jerry had provided, and left.The adoption could wait. What was urgent now was Belinda.If not for yesterday's call, Julian would never have known Belinda had s

His patience with Perry had reached its limit. Verbal warnings were no longer enough, and Julian was ready to take substantial action, but Jerry had, at the last minute, dug up something about Ivy.He couldn't get anything concrete from either Vanessa or Adrian.Julian had no choice but to let Jerry investigate.While he didn't pry into Vanessa's affairs, he couldn't possibly ignore anything related to Ivy.Information about Ivy's background was quickly uncovered."'We found Leila at the time because they grew up in the same orphanage, and everyone there thought they were sisters,' Jerry began, hesitating. After all, Leila was truly the wrong person he'd brought in, and Julian still had to make proper arrangements for her now. 'But then Leila was adopted, and Ivy, once she was old enough, left on her own.'"Julian didn't hear what he wanted to."'So? What does any of this have to do with Uncle Cameron?'"Jerry took a step forwa
