"As long as infidelity isn’t discovered, is it forever right?" Sumr Shaw asked.
Evan Grant didn’t respond, staring at her with a piercing aura that seed to see right through her.
Just when Sumr Shaw was about to buckle under pressure, Caleb Shaw arrived.
Seeing his sister so frightened that her shoulders were trembling like a leaf, he said irritably, "What are you doing here scaring her for no reason?"
Evan Grant closed his eyes briefly, "I have sothing to ask her."
Caleb Shaw shielded his sister behind him, "Ask her gently, she’s timid."
Evan Grant almost rolled his eyes, then turned to Sumr Shaw, "Does she have any close male acquaintances here?"
Sumr Shaw clung to Caleb’s clothes, her confidence returning.
"You’ve ssed around with a fake orthopedist, so what’s wrong if she has an affair? Does it disgust you..."
Before Sumr Shaw could finish, Caleb Shaw covered her mouth.
"My dear, problems between husband and wife are their spice, what are you ddling for?"
"Caleb Shaw," Evan Grant said with a half-smile, "is this your obedient and gentle sister?"
Caleb Shaw turned to him, neither humble nor arrogant, "What do you an my sister, didn’t you use to say she was our sister when we were little?"
Sumr Shaw imdiately pinched him, "Brother, I don’t want soone like this as my brother."
Caleb Shaw lowered his voice, "Behave, it’s a temporary plan, he has no reason to hit my sister, and even less reason to hit his sister’s brother."
Sumr Shaw: "..."
"Caleb Shaw," Evan Grant lost patience, "I plan to invest a bit in your sister’s place to improve their working environnt."
"No," Sumr Shaw quickly interrupted, "we shareholders don’t agree."
Juliana Jacobs had been trying to separate herself from him for the divorce, if here got associated with Evan Grant, how would she break free from him?
Evan Grant squinted his eyes, "Which shareholder?"
Sumr Shaw paused, "Juliana, and ."
Evan Grant smiled slightly, "Does she know about your relationship with us?"
...
At that mont, Juliana Jacobs was walking out of a cat rescue shelter with Chase Miller.
Her hairpin had fetched a considerable sum at the jewelry recycling counter, and she specifically asked the shopkeeper to give her fifty thousand in cash.
As soon as she got the money, she handed it over to Chase Miller.
"I heard the cat rescue shelter is short on funds, and I’m short on money too, so I can only give this much."
Chase Miller held the money, feeling a bit uneasy.
"Juliana... Miss Jacobs, I know why you’re getting close to , but there’s no need to use this thod to inquire about your mother-in-law’s illness. All I can say is that my diagnosis was based on the lab’s conclusions."
Juliana Jacobs caught onto sothing when she heard "lab."
"Dr. Miller, don’t take it the wrong way, I do want to hear so solid information from you, but this fifty thousand is also sincerely given. With your family around you, you can’t understand the sorrow of being holess; these stray cats really need a ho."
Chase Miller was amused by her humorous comparison.
"You can empathize with them?"
Juliana Jacobs gave a gentle smile, "For soone without family, the heart is also wandering everywhere. It’s not about empathizing, just so reflections."
Chase Miller was stunned for two seconds, then quickly apologized, "I’m sorry, I didn’t understand your kindness, I..."
Juliana Jacobs waved her hand, "Interacting with these stray animals makes you realize the tenacity of life far exceeds imagination. If Dr. Miller is concerned, I’ll co here by myself in the future."
Chase Miller felt very embarrassed.
Just then, Stella Grant’s sweet voice ca from behind them.
"Dr. Miller, sister-in-law, are you two on a date?"
Juliana Jacobs was about to make a call when she heard her voice and kept the phone in her hand.
She and Chase Miller turned around, simultaneously looking at Stella Grant.
Chase Miller seed flustered, "Of course not, Miss Grant, don’t say such things."
Stella Grant laughed, "My sister-in-law is beautiful, and Dr. Miller is unmarried, it’s normal to like my sister-in-law."
Chase Miller grew more frantic, "Miss Grant, heaven and earth as my witness, so things can’t be spoken carelessly."
Stella Grant blinked, "I won’t tell my brother."
Chase Miller didn’t know how to explain anymore.
Juliana Jacobs calmly looked at her, "You’re quite adept at splattering your dirty thoughts."
Stella Grant, who had been laughing brightly, suddenly turned pale, quickly changing the subject.
"Sister-in-law, my brother said he neglected last night, so he gave a card today to go shopping and relax."
Knowing she was showing off, Juliana Jacobs smiled faintly, "Using soone else’s husband’s card for a sense of existence, your ambition is just right for being a re diversion."
Stella Grant’s face slightly changed, usually a person with great composure, was now like boiling water, unable to remain calm.
"Did you really consider yourself the mistress? If not for the Grant family having a small issue back then, my brother and his closest faced threats, he wouldn’t have resorted to getting a re ornant as my living shield. To be honest, I’ve lived peacefully these years thanks to you. Well then... if you fancy sothing, let buy it for you as gratitude."
Juliana Jacobs could tell she was trying to provoke her, but at this point, she was already able to calmly accept the fact that she had been used by a scumbag for four years.
Though she saw through Stella Grant’s tactic, she still had to go along with it.
Because she counted on this to fuel her divorce.
So after Stella Grant finished her sentence, she raised her hand and slapped her.
Stella Grant was startled that Juliana Jacobs would actually hit her, but she reacted quickly, letting out a surprised cry and falling to the ground.
The distant bodyguards rushed over swiftly.
Tears burst from Stella Grant’s eyes.
"Sister-in-law, even if you hit , I’m still going to tell my brother that you and Dr. Miller were on a date."
Her words were heard by all the bodyguards.
However, it was Mrs. Grant who struck Miss Grant, and they were puzzled about whether to handle Juliana in this situation.
Because of Stella Grant’s words, Chase Miller beca anxious.
"Miss Grant, stop with the slander, Mrs. Grant and I haven’t even held hands."
Juliana Jacobs looked at Chase Miller, "I’m sorry Dr. Miller, minor family disputes dragged you into this, you should go, I’ll handle the rest."
Chase Miller was more than happy, "But you must explain clearly to President Grant, there’s really nothing between us."
Juliana Jacobs closed her eyes briefly, assuring him that he could rest easy.
Chase Miller glanced at Stella Grant, his eyes filled with bla, and left.
The tears in Stella Grant’s eyes conveniently masked her emotions, while Juliana Jacobs looked at her coldly, putting her phone back in her bag.
Stella Grant felt a jolt in her heart.
She realized Juliana Jacobs might have recorded her words.
Having been careful all this ti, Stella Grant wouldn’t allow anything beyond her control to occur.
So she tightened her grip, suddenly leapt from the ground towards Juliana Jacobs.
While crying, she shouted, "Sister-in-law, why did you hit , why..."
Juliana Jacobs reacted quickly, retreating half a step to grasp Stella Grant’s throat, but it was exactly what Stella wanted.
Stella Grant grabbed her bag and yanked hard.
Juliana Jacobs imdiately understood her intention.
Yes, she had indeed recorded Stella Grant’s words.
She had prepared a "big gift" for their fourth wedding anniversary, and if she could include this recording, the enhanced "surprise" would be sothing Evan Grant would never forget.
So she protected her bag, tussling with the frenzied Stella Grant like crazy.
The bodyguards, seeing this, assud it was one of Stella Grant’s episodes and imdiately acted.
"Quick, separate them, but don’t harm Miss Grant."
