Looking indifferent, Lance didn’t answer her.
Juliette was extrely flustered but still comforted herself that it was not a big deal and would not bother her so much.
She had already told the public that they were going to get married, so Lance could do nothing but accept it.
She smiled and said, "Lance, do you think what happened just now was so disappointing? That’s why you changed the location of the banquet, right? It doesn’t matter. Do I need to change for the banquet now?"
"No need," Lance said expressionlessly.
Juliette’s expression froze but she still smiled cautiously, "Lance, there were too many people just now, so I didn’t have ti to explain to you. In fact, they ... forced to send out the invitation!"
She covered the corners of her eyes with her hands as if she was close to tears and observed Lance’s reaction.
She blad and cursed Charlie many tis in her mind.
It turned out that Charlie was not even considered an illegitimate son and had nothing to do with the Wolseley family.
That day, he boasted shalessly that he was Colton’s only child.
Juliette was also muddleheaded to believe that Lance was adopted.
Now, it seed that Colton and Charlie didn’t bear the sa character as other mbers of the Wolseley family.
The other mbers of the Wolseley family, from top to bottom, were all righteous, a sharp contrast to the viciousness of Colton and Charlie.
Juliette scolded herself for being so stupid, but she also felt lucky for not going too far.
"Lance..."
Seeing that Lance did not respond, Juliette said sweetly, "Charlie found and told that he wanted to announce that you were not a mber of the Wolseley family. He threatened to give him the invitation. I was afraid that he would tarnish your reputation, so I had no choice but to give it to him."
Juliette’s explanation was full of loopholes, but she could not offer a better excuse now.
Undoubtedly, if Lance wanted to save his own life, his life was still in Juliette’s hands.
Therefore, Juliette made up excuses as a way out for him.
Seeing Lance’s cold expression, Juliette added, "I didn’t know that Charlie had such thoughts. If I had known that they were here to make trouble, I would never have agreed to give them the invitation."
As soon as she started to act, she couldn’t stop it at all.
Juliette looked sad and said with grievance, "You must believe . Since we are husband and wife, our lives are bonded as one and will influence each other accordingly. I know it clearly."
"No, we are not," Lance finally spoke.
However, whatever he started to talk about, it was sothing that Juliette did not want to hear.
His cold expression coupled with his indifferent tone made him especially heartless and aloof.
Juliette’s expression changed, and she restrained her emotion and said, "But everyone in New York knows that we are married!"
"Juliette."
Lance called her na solemnly and added, "That’s because I want them to know."
"Why?" asked Juliette.
She wanted to know why Lance inford others that they were married but denied that they were husband and wife.
She had been studying Lance since childhood. Over these years, she felt that she had known Lance thoroughly.
But now, she was more and more confused about Lance.
It seed that Lance never showed himself authentically in front of her.
Lance didn’t answer Juliette’s question but looked at her profoundly. "Juliette, have you ever repented for what you have done?"
Juliette’s expression changed again.
"What ... do you an?" asked Juliette.
Looking sternly, Lance said softly, "Don’t you know what it ans?"
"I... I really don’t know what you an. I can swear that I never wanted to harm you. You also know my feelings. I love you so much," explained Juliette.
"So, you harm the person I love?" Lance interrupted her coldly.
Juliette did not want to harm him. The dicine that Lance was injected with was initially for Yvette.
Juliette indiscriminately frad anyone who got close to Lance.
Whether it was Emilie or Yazmin, all their sufferings were manipulated by Juliette.
She silently added fuel to the fire. So people did bad things for her, and so took the bla for her.
However, she never revealed her identity as the mastermind to plot everything underground.
She had hard countless people.
In addition to Emilie and Yazmin, the unborn child, her bodyguard Jovanny, and the innocent Tanya all fell victim to Juliette.
There were even so people who couldn’t figure out Juliette’s nature when they died.
Juliette was an expert at playing tricks.
Just by her eloquence and scheming, she could make the bad guys beco worse and achieve what she wanted.
Yazmin was sexually assaulted by a wretched man, and it was also sched by Juliette.
Juliette reinforced Yazmin’s hatred and anger so that Yazmin would unleash her revenge and make all effort to kill Yvette.
However, she did not expect Yazmin accidentally injured Lance, which was a big mistake in her plot.
Juliette’s body trembled unconsciously, but she still said firmly, "Lance, I didn’t do anything. Don’t wrong . I am always a good citizen and obey the law."
Indeed, many things were done by Jovanny instead of her.
After Jovanny died, Juliette beca more cautious. It was hard to find evidence that she had committed the cri.
Therefore, she was able to act boldly and confidently.
"Lance, don’t defa , you have to show your evidence," said Juliette.
She covered her face and pretended to be sad. "Did that woman steal your heart? She said that she has cut off the relationship with you and doesn’t love you. Why are you still thinking of her?"
Lance looked extrely calm and he was not touched or saddened by Juliette’s words.
He felt that he had done the right thing.
His health had been deteriorating, so he didn’t want to drag down Yvette.
After a long silence, Lance said softly, "It’s good that she doesn’t love ."
When he said these words, his voice was so gentle that Juliette sensed a different personality from Lance.
That was what she had never experienced before.
Profound jealousy caused her face to twist painfully.
"Lance, why don’t you care about ? I’m willing to do anything for you, but you only care about her!" Juliette could not control herself but hysterically shouted.
She was clearly not only killing or harming others!
She thought, I have done many things for you, but why couldn’t I move you?
Juliette didn’t feel that she was wrong but only blad Lance for treating her so coldly.
Lance said stiffly, "Juliette, you don’t love . You only love yourself the most."
