“When will you tell your parents about the annulment?” Julian asked, standing at the doorway. He didn’t
enter the room.
Cecilia, on the other hand, approached him willingly. Her eyes were red, as if she had been crying. She
suddenly pulled Julian forcefully into the room.
With a loud slam, she closed the door.
Being alone in a room with a woman other than Diana made Julian somewhat uncomfortable,
especially when this woman was someone Noel held dear.
Noel had been with Julian for so long, and had only offered to leave because of Cecilia.
Noel had been by Julian’s side when he needed it the most. Noel had helped him build the foundation
of Fulcher Inc., which had grown into what it was today.
Julian wasn’t an ungrateful person, and remembered Noel’s contributions well. Despite Noel’s
resignation letter and his continued absence, Julian hadn’t hired a new assistant to replace him.
Even though Noel had no blood ties to him, the man was more family to Julian than Simon, who was
his half-brother. Noel was also the only person Julian wanted as his assistant.
Julian looked at Cecilia, and took a few silent steps backward. However, Cecilia continued to advance
relentlessly. It wasn’t until Julian had backed up against the wall that she finally stopped.
Julian’s eyes began to show signs of displeasure, but Cecilia seemed even more upset.
“Why were you trying to please my parents today?” she asked.
Julian was taken aback. He hadn’t realized that he had been doing that.
“I was trying to make amends,” he said.
He belatedly realized that he might have made a wrong move. At the time, he had only been concerned
about not disappointing Sue about the engagement.
Julian had never taken this engagement seriously. He had initially taken Cecilia out because he saw
the potential between her and Noel, and also to conveniently have Diana under the same roof.
In reality, Julian had never considered that his engagement with Cecilia would become a reality. He had
seen through Cecilia and Noel’s intentions earlier than her.
Cecilia looked at him in disbelief.
“Make amends?! Pretending to have a good relationship with my family, pretending to be a qualified
son-in-law… Is that what you call making amends? Why would you need to make amends? I’m also
involved in this engagement. Just like you, I want to back out. If you’re making amends, should I also
do the same with your family?”
Her anger grew with each word. Eventually, she burst out laughing.
“Julian, sometimes you really are quite presumptuous.”
He was such an arrogant man, all the way to the end.
She added, “That includes how you treat Diana.”
Diana was forced to leave Richburgh with her children in despair, all for Julian’s sake. Yet, Julian had
never bothered to consider what she truly needed.
What Diana had needed was for Julian to stay alive after she honored her promise to Kiki.
And now, he was alive.
Diana had obtained what she wanted.
Julian didn’t expect Cecilia to bring up Diana. Hearing her name made his heart race.
After they parted at the restaurant earlier, Diana hadn’t contacted him. There hadn’t been any
messages sent to Mr. Whatever’s phone.
Julian looked at Cecilia determinedly.
“What about you? How do you feel about Noel? You should know what your mother giving money to
Albert signified. Why didn’t you stop it?”
They weren’t gods.
There would always be unexpected things that they couldn’t anticipate or prevent.
