"If your ambition is this big, then we have more to discuss."
His voice carried a teasing tone.
Juliana Jacobs calmly looked at the face so close to hers.
"If we must talk, it’s not impossible, but right now my heart is full of Sumr Shaw’s heart, and I’m afraid I don’t have the energy to discuss with you?"
Jared Langley understood her hint and said in a deep voice, "I won’t do anything that touches the interests of the Sinclairs, so I won’t introduce you to the other person in charge of the laboratory, but apart from this, I can promise you anything."
Juliana Jacobs regretfully said, "Then there’s nothing to be done, the negotiations have broken down."
"Juliana!"
Jared Langley’s usually calm eyes were finally ignited by her indifferent attitude.
He almost gritted his teeth as he said each word, "You cannot ignore my sincerity."
Juliana’s indifferent face smiled even deeper, "So while the young master and I are here discussing marriage alliances, what about your woman? She’s waiting for you foolishly, how do you intend to deal with her?"
"Don’t ntion her!"
Just as Jared Langley spoke, the door to the hospital room was pushed open.
Sylvia Sheridan stood at the door, her face colorless, her body trembling slightly due to intense emotional fluctuations...
At this mont, in the elevator lobby downstairs in the inpatient departnt.
Victor Langley had just stepped into the elevator when Elias Langley followed.
The two happened to bump into each other in the elevator.
Elias Langley glanced at the elevator showing the 8th floor, so he didn’t press any floor.
Victor Langley asked, "Are you here to see Jared?"
Elias Langley watched the ascending numbers and replied indifferently, "No, I’m here to pick up my wife."
Victor Langley was shocked, thinking he misheard.
"You... you’re married?"
"Yes."
Elias Langley remained calm and composed.
Victor Langley’s shock turned into rage.
"How could you not seek my opinion on sothing so big? You’re supposed to be the one marrying into the Sinclair Family, how could you just marry any woman? Even if it’s a physical need, you could keep her hidden, but how could you marry her? You just honored the Sinclair’s treasured gem by marrying her, and now you’re doing this, how will I explain this to the Sinclairs?"
Elias Langley looked at him lightly, "Can’t go three sentences without you, are you my dad?"
Victor Langley almost exploded with anger, "An elder brother acts as a father, I’m qualified to manage you!"
Elias Langley smiled faintly, "The law provides for free marriage, don’t impose your lifestyle on because... I also hate rotten cucumbers."
Victor Langley was so choked by his words that his chest ached.
The elevator door opened, and Elias Langley strode out, heading toward Jared’s hospital room.
Victor Langley was determined to see which money-loving woman his brother married, so he tightly followed him.
Before they got close to Jared’s room, they heard the sound of an argunt inside.
Sylvia Sheridan has apparently been standing outside the door for a while, hence her very intense reaction.
Jared Langley’s brow twitched, he looked at Juliana, "Was it you who brought her here?"
Of course, it was.
But before Juliana could speak, Sylvia Sheridan interjected, "Are you scared seeing here?"
Jared Langley frowned deeply and finally withdrew his arm propped against the wall, walking toward her.
"Things are not as you think. This is just a transaction. Being with her complents , and I get more resources and bargaining chips, only this way we might..."
Before he could finish, Sylvia Sheridan slapped his face.
"Might what? Be your mistress?"
Sylvia Sheridan always spoke gently, but now her voice was full volu.
"Jared Langley, you’re the one who pursued , yet you don’t have the courage to take responsibility, and you have the nerve to use our future as an excuse to marry soone else."
Tears stread down her face, she pulled a folded paper from her handbag and flung it in his face.
"Luckily I’ve seen your true face in ti, this is an abortion form. When I decided not to have this child, it was over between us. So, I don’t want you!"
Jared Langley picked up the abortion form from the ground, so shocked he forgot his own last na.
"You... you can naturally conceive my child?"
Sylvia Sheridan bit her lip, "The father of my child would never be soone like you."
Having said this, she glanced at Juliana, acknowledging their past grievances, though she was in the wrong first.
She said nothing to Juliana and turned to leave the ward.
But as she stepped out, she almost bumped into Victor Langley.
Sylvia Sheridan’s gaze flickered briefly, ultimately mustering the courage to glare at Victor Langley before running away.
Jared Langley chased after her and paused when he saw his father.
Victor Langley, having just been angered by Elias, now faced another big shock from his son.
He imdiately burst into anger, "You bastard! Whether she is related by blood or not, she is your uncle’s daughter, your cousin! I held you in such high regard, and you... you’ve embarrassed our entire Langley Family!"
Jared Langley didn’t want to argue about his relationship with Sylvia, he only replied softly, "Dad, we were sincere."
"Sincere, my foot! If your uncle finds out you stole his precious cabbage, you’re in for a chop."
Victor Langley was furious enough to curse.
In the midst of chaos, Elias Langley calmly walked past them and into the ward.
"Mrs. Langley, shall we go?"
Juliana smiled softly and nodded.
Under the surprised gazes of Victor Langley and Jared Langley, Elias took Juliana’s hand.
"Allow to formally introduce, Juliana, my wife."
Victor Langley looked as if he’d been struck by lightning, stumbling back a step, all color drained from his face.
Jared Langley suddenly felt enormously embarrassed, "Uncle, when did you two start?"
Elias Langley looked calmly at his slightly distorted face and said lightly, "Before you broke your head and mistook my wife for your fiancée, she was already mine."
His tone paused slightly, and his eyes filled with ridicule.
"What, just because you weren’t clear-headed for a few days, you really took my wife’s humanitarian cooperation as a charity performance, mistaking it for your own love story?"
Jared Langley felt incredibly awkward.
But Elias Langley no longer looked at him, turning to Juliana and warmly saying "Let’s go," then leaving the hospital room with her, not looking back as they went toward the elevator.
Victor Langley, who had been silent, finally ca to his senses.
"You... each and every one of you... are trying to drive to death..."
He lifted his hand, unsure whether to point east or west.
After a violent tremor, his vision went black, and he swayed as if about to fall.
"Dad!"
Jared Langley hurriedly caught him...
The elevator descended, Juliana looked at Elias Langley’s profile.
Perhaps due to work fatigue, several nights without sleep, there was a hint of blue under his eyes.
"Did we agree on a secret marriage first? Telling your brother like this, can he handle it?" Juliana asked.
Elias Langley released her hand but then wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
"They’re my family, they ought to know, just say it, whether they can handle it or not doesn’t concern us."
Juliana almost burst into laughter at his words.
Later, Elias drove them back to their apartnt.
The first thing Elias did upon entering was to find the dicine box and count the pills.
Seeing that Juliana had taken her dication daily, his brow finally relaxed.
"Taking your ds on ti, good girl."
He turned and naturally pulled Juliana into his arms as she ca near, his chin lightly rubbing her hair, his voice carrying a touch of weary relief and relaxation.
"Have you been eating on ti?"
Juliana let him hold her, neither responding to his affectionate gesture nor answering his question.
After a few seconds of silence, she asked in a clear, cool voice, "Why did you bail out Sylvia Sheridan?"
