Cliff understood quickly, "Understood, don't worry, I'll notify you immediately if I have any news."As he spoke, he suddenly grasped Vanessa's hand, "How did you get hurt?"It was the wound from the morning, untreated, slightly white and swollen.As she was about to pull her hand away, a figure approached from behind, the air pressure gradually dropping, permeating the surroundings, followed by Julian's signature cold and sharp voice, though his words were directed at Cliff, "So she's the one you were meeting?"The consequences of meeting Cliff behind Julian's back were disastrous.Back in the private residence, the moment she entered, Vanessa tightly gripped Julian's sleeve, her appearance tearful as she explained, "...I was just catching up with Cliff."The moment those two words were uttered, Julian scoffed."Should I call him over to clarify?"She was grasping at straws, Cliff's power was all given by Julian, seeking him was the stupidest path, but thinking of Perry still sufferi

Again, begging.Julian, unmoved when doused with wine, now furrowed his brow. Adrian was the first to stand, grabbing Vanessa by the collar. “A way out? You want a way out? What about Ivy?”His roar was deafening, but it didn't intimidate Vanessa.“If I could, I’d rather it had been me who died back then.”It would be better than living in torment, a living death.Adrian raised his hand, about to deliver a slap when his phone rang, interrupting him. Pushing Vanessa away, he turned to answer, venting his anger, “What is it?”Out of the corner of his eye, Julian walked to Vanessa’s side. He was about to speak when Adrian suddenly raised his voice. “What? I’ll be right there.”The matter here wasn't resolved, yet Leila was in trouble again.Before he even entered, her cries reached his ears through the door.Julian was vexed. As he was led inside, his mind was filled with Vanessa's tear-streaked eyes. Meeting Leila's gaze, she suddenly rushed at him, burying herself in his waist, her tea

"Understood."Julian stood, losing his patience. "Just do as I say."Seeing him about to leave, Leila immediately rose, looking anxious. "...You're leaving already? Won't you stay a little longer?"Julian only cast a cold glance at her, leaving without a word.Adrian scoffed and pulled Leila down to sit. He and Julian were two extremes: one too fastidious, the other surrounded by women.But he was very generous with women.Especially with Leila.Who told her to be Ivy's younger sister, Ivy's last wish before she died?"Julian doesn't like women who cling to him. I advise you to save your energy."Leila gently pursed her lips, biting them, looking tearful. "...I know, Julian likes Vanessa."The light and shadows in the private room fell on Leila's face, reflecting her serious and earnest expression, but Adrian barely managed to suppress a laugh. "Leila, are you joking?""...I'm not joking."During those days she stayed at Julian's house, she saw with her own eyes how Julian treated Van

Julian's suppression wasn't just physical; he knew how to control people best, and how to shatter their courage to resist. This kiss was deep, with more emotions mixed in than the last.Jealousy, hatred.And even more, longing.If it were the Vanessa of the past, a kiss, let alone an embrace from Julian, would have felt like a blessing to her. But now she was resisting, dodging.This made Julian dissatisfied.Did she really like Perry that much, so much that she had no lingering feelings for him?Someone approached, knocking and calling."Vanessa, are you in there?"It was Perry's voice.Vanessa pushed Julian away, wanting to rush to open the door, but Julian pulled her back. Perry seemed to sense something, twisting the doorknob. As the door opened a crack, Vanessa was still forcibly held in Julian's arms, her lips brushing against his. The scene was clearly provocative.Perry paused, then rushed forward, grabbing Julian's collar. Remembering the lesson from last time, he reluctantly

This marriage was decided by the elders of both families, and the wedding date was set quickly. Burdened with family responsibilities, Julian didn't have much say in the marriage.The Old Master busied himself with the engagement banquet, and Rose appeared at the Frost residence more and more often. She stayed by the Old Master's side, chatting with him, while Julian waited in silence, not uttering a word, as if he were an outsider.After Rose went to the restroom, the Old Master finally moved his white eyebrows, glancing at Julian, "Rose is about to become your wife, you shouldn't be so cold towards her.""You know, this marriage isn't what I want.""What do you want?"Perry was pushed down the stairs, and Julian was unable to defend himself. The Voss family used this to accuse him, which led to his marriage with Rose being brought forward.Having reached this age, the Old Master saw everything clearly, "I didn't let you marry Vanessa back then, and you refused. Now that she's gettin
