9: Chapter 9: I Don’t Want You to Feel Wronged 9: Chapter 9: I Don’t Want You to Feel Wronged After the effects of the anesthetic wore off, Julia Land woke up.
Julia turned her head and saw Jas Thompson standing by the window.
Upon seeing her wake up, Jas said, “You’re awake.”
The effects of the anesthetic had worn off, but she still felt a bit weak and limp.
She thought the abortion was already done.
Unexpectedly, Jas suddenly said, “The abortion isn’t done yet, the baby is still there.”
Julia frowned, “What do you an?”
Her voice was hoarse and she was thirsty.
Jas ca over, poured a cup of water, helped her sit up to drink it, and after she finished, he said, “Noah Quarter.”
Julia’s face turned slightly pale.
Indeed, he really knew Noah Quarter.
Expressionless, she asked indifferently, “Are you going to tell him?
Even if you tell him I’m pregnant, it’s no use, he won’t want the child.”
“Not going to,” Jas pulled over a chair, sat down, and lazily said while looking at her, “I’m not close to him, I won’t tell him about this.”
Jas saw the wariness on her face.
He said with a relaxed attitude, “When I say sothing, I an it.”
Julia didn’t say a word, just looking at him skeptically.
Jas chuckled under his breath.
“Don’t worry, I really won’t tell him.
About the surgery, I’ve arranged for another famous doctor for you; he can be here tomorrow.”
Jas made a promise.
He said, “This child is related to after all.”
What Jas ant by relation was that he was the baby’s father, but Julia thought he ant they were relatives.
Julia nodded, tentatively believing his words for the ti being.
“Do you love him a lot?” the man suddenly asked.
Caught off guard by the question, Julia was stunned for a mont, “What?”
Jas repeated, “Do you love Noah Quarter?”
Julia smiled faintly, a self-mocking smile, “I’ve loved him for four years.”
Now she didn’t dare to love him anymore.
Jas looked down, quickly typed a line of text on his phone, and posted a question online: “How would she feel if she discovered that she had slept with a man she doesn’t love?”
The internet responded with a flood of answers, most of which were: “In unbearable pain,” “A nightmare for life.”
Jas felt a headache coming on when he saw these responses.
It seed this matter had to be kept secret for the ti being.
He twirled his phone, his knuckles prominent and fingers nimble and long, he looked at Julia very seriously and said, “I can take care of that Shaw woman for you, do you need to?”
Julia was montarily unable to react.
She had not expected that he also knew about Arabella Shaw and Noah Quarter’s affair.
She looked at Jas and saw that he was not joking.
“No…
no need,” she replied dryly.
She wasn’t familiar with Jas, and it seed strange, “His heart is not with , a lon forced to be picked from the vine is not sweet.
But why do you want to help ?”
Jas smiled lazily, “Just consider it a good deed.”
“…”
She didn’t quite believe that.
Her marriage to Noah Quarter was rely a contractual agreent.
It was she who naively got emotionally involved.
Jas took a pen out of his lab coat pocket, grabbed Julia’s hand, and quickly wrote a phone number in her palm, “If you change your mind, you can contact .”
Julia watched his retreating figure as he left the ward, then looked down at the number in her palm.
“Arabella Shaw is the love deeply buried in his heart; without her, he would only rember her more.
I, Julia Land, am not so depraved to stoop that low.
Just give a little ti, and I’ll excise him from my heart.”
Julia smiled faintly, took the remote control, and casually turned on the TV.
Suddenly, her body stiffened.
*
At that mont, the TV was on the financial news channel.
A live broadcast was happening in the Quarter Group eting hall.
The person speaking on the stage was Grandma Quarter.
Grandma Quarter was the forr chairman of the Quarter Group.
She sat in her wheelchair, smiling as she announced, “I am here to declare that ten percent of my shares will be given to my granddaughter-in-law, Julia Land.”
The crowd below imdiately burst into an uproar.
Who is Julia Land?
Which family’s daughter is she?
When did Director Quarter get married?
Just yesterday afternoon the famous female singer Arabella Shaw was spotted on a date with Noah Quarter, Chairman of Quarter Group.
To everyone’s surprise, Grandma Quarter publicly released such a ssage today.
Lying on the hospital bed, Julia Land was utterly unaware of what had happened.
She had only passed out for two hours, only to wake up and find out everyone knew she was married to Noah Quarter.
Why had Grandma Quarter suddenly made the news of her marriage to Noah public?
And she had…
given her shares of the stock.
Julia felt things were getting out of control.
She hurriedly searched for her phone and turned it on.
As soon as it was on, she saw many text ssages.
Julia didn’t look at the ssages; she waited for the press conference to end and imdiately called Grandma Quarter.
“Grandma, why did you suddenly go public?”
She had already been preparing to divorce Noah.
The sudden revelation of her marriage caught her off guard.
Grandma Quarter’s voice was as kind as ever, “Little Julia, you’ve been wronged these past few days, why didn’t you tell when she returned?
If I hadn’t seen the news of Noah and Arabella dining together last afternoon, I would have been kept in the dark by you two.”
Julia touched her belly, her eyes unintentionally becoming slightly red.
For this child not ant to be, and for the feelings she had once invested.
“Grandma, I can’t take the Quarter shares.”
“Silly child, with the Quarter shares, you’ll have money in the future, and these shares are Grandma’s gift to your future grandsons and granddaughters.”
Once Grandma Quarter made a decision, it was very hard to change.
Julia rubbed her temples, planning to return the shares to the Quarter Family later.
After talking for a while, Grandma Quarter was tired, and Julia hung up the phone.
Just after hanging up, she received a call from Noah Quarter.
“Julia Land!
You’re really sothing, aren’t you!”
Noah was very frustrated, his usually cold voice taking on a chilly edge.
“Congratulations, now everyone knows you are Mrs.
Quarter with Quarter shares.”
He really hadn’t expected Julia to be so cunning.
Julia rubbed her temples, took a deep breath, “Noah, Grandma’s sudden decision, I had no idea, I will return the Quarter shares to the family.”
Noah Quarter laughed coldly, “It’s too late to say anything now, you’d better co back quickly so we can get divorced, the only wife I will ever acknowledge is Arabella.”
Julia no longer wanted to talk; since Noah had brought up divorce, at least she wouldn’t have to pay a penalty for breach of contract, “I’ll co back tomorrow.”
She hung up the phone directly.
Noah Quarter stared at the hung-up phone, irritably tugging at his tie.
Alexander Strong saw nothing, the nose saw the heart.
“Try to suppress those online news stories; I don’t want them affecting Arabella.”
Arabella Shaw was a big star, and now many online were calling her a ho-wrecker.
Alexander nodded and left to handle it.
Sitting on the sofa, Arabella Shaw’s face showed a touch of pallor; she stood up, walked over, and hugged Noah Quarter around the waist.
Her face against his chest, her voice lodious yet fragile, “Noah, why does Grandma never like ?
What did I do wrong?”
Noah Quarter smoothed out the anger on his face, holding her shoulder, his handso face softening, “Arabella, don’t be sad, you’re good, it’s who’s not good.
If it weren’t to reassure Grandma back then, I would not have agreed to a marriage with Julia.”
Arabella Shaw tiptoed, gently kissing his jaw, “No, it’s my fault, I must not be good enough yet, but I don’t want to let go this ti.”
As her kiss was about to land on his lips, Noah Quarter suddenly thought of Julia’s stunning and extravagant face for a mont.
He slightly turned his head away.
Arabella Shaw looked at him with teary eyes.
Affected by the tears of his beloved, Noah Quarter held her tightly.
“Stop crying,” he lifted her chin and cooed.
There was a rest area in the office.
Noah Quarter carried Arabella Shaw sideways, heading towards the rest area.
Arabella’s face blushed, her beautiful eyes filled with affection as she clung to the man’s neck, “If I get pregnant, will Grandma accept then?”
“I don’t want you to feel wronged,” Noah Quarter laid her on the bed, “I want you in a wedding gown first, be good, you go to sleep first, by the ti you wake up, the internet issues will be dealt with.”
Arabella Shaw bit her red lips; she really didn’t feel wronged.
As long as there was a child, that old woman should compromise.
Just as Noah Quarter was about to get up, Arabella Shaw pulled him back.
They had been dating in college, and their first ti had already been given to each other.
This ti back in the country, he had been restraining himself from going all the way with her, which made her very uneasy.
Arabella Shaw thought of Julia, her eyes closed, eyelashes trembling slightly.
She kissed his brow, “Noah, I’ve really missed you these past years, I have been missing you a lot.”
Seeing her trembling lashes, Noah Quarter ultimately did not push away her hand reaching into his clothes.
