"Watch your mouth."
Juliana calmly stepped away from Adrian Langley’s arms.
"You should go first."
Adrian noticed that Lily looked like trouble, "Are you sure?"
Juliana tilted her head slightly. Adrian knew staying would only be a burden to her, so he quickly left in the other direction.
"Why are you running? Got the nerve to run, adulterer?"
Lily tried to stop him, but Juliana stepped in front of her.
"Do you like chasing n that much?" Juliana mocked.
Lily imdiately pointed at her, "My Stella kept herself pure for Evan, while you occupy Mrs. Grant’s place but don’t follow the wife’s duty. Indeed, a lowlife born without proper upbringing!"
This ti, Juliana wasn’t angry; instead, she humbly replied, "In front of Ms. Windsor, I dare not claim the title of a lowlife. You’re the model of a masseuse’s rank, raising a daughter who still clings to her chastity at 25 to tie down a married man."
"Bitch, I’ll tear your mouth apart."
Lily leaped in rage, raising her hand to slap Juliana.
However, Juliana pushed her hand aside and grabbed her collar, slamming her onto the ground.
Lily hit the ground heavily and gasped in pain.
"You..."
Seeing her about to cry, Juliana coldly said, "Does it hurt? This was how you threw in the hospital room, Ms. Windsor, rember?"
Lily was stunned for a mont, recalling the incident after Juliana left the ICU, realizing that Juliana was taking revenge.
"Oh, everyone, co and see, this is how she treats her mother-in-law, I can’t live anymore..."
Lily made a scene in public, attempting to morally blackmail Juliana.
But outside the bar, young people gathered, smirking at her as though she was mad.
At this mont, Ethan Carter arrived with bodyguards to disperse the crowd.
Evan Grant strode over, looking at Lily on the ground coldly, "Not embarrassed enough for the Grant Family?"
His aura was sharp, and Lily imdiately stopped crying, even brightened up a bit.
She got up at once, taking out her phone.
"Evan, I just caught her hugging another man here, she hit out of anger. Look, here’s the evidence."
As soon as she unlocked the screen, Juliana snatched her phone, deleting everything, even the cloud storage.
Evan watched her swift actions, his eyes darkening.
Lily beca even more agitated, "Evan, she and Adrian..."
Juliana interrupted her, "Who I’m with is none of your business. Jealous because I’m Mrs. Grant? If you want to marry your son’s husband so badly, just say so, why play all these gas?"
Lily was so enraged her face turned pale, blood flowed from her nostrils, on the verge of bursting.
Juliana clicked her tongue, "You’ve already signed up at The Reaper’s Court, yet you’re still more fiery than the living. Are you afraid you won’t reincarnate as a beast in the next life?"
Lily held her chest, covered in her own nosebleed, unable to say a word.
"Alright, stop provoking her."
Evan pulled Juliana behind him, giving Ethan a look.
Ethan quickly called for an ambulance for Lily.
A few minutes later, Lily was carried onto a stretcher.
"No, I’m not leaving, I ca to find my husband, he hasn’t co ho yet..."
At this mont, she rembered her purpose, but it was too late.
Watching the ambulance leave, Juliana turned to go, but Evan called her back, "Leaving just like that?"
Juliana turned back, her gaze without warmth, "I don’t have the habit of spending the night at bars, of course, I’m leaving."
Evan tried to stay calm and asked, "Why did you co to the bar?"
Juliana’s lips curved into a sarcastic smile, "Ca to find a new stepmother for you, does President Grant believe that?"
"Juliana!" Evan’s eyes flickered with a small fla, unable to extinguish.
"Your stepmother is about to die, shouldn’t you hurry and divorce to marry her daughter for her joy, instead of minding my business?"
Confidently, Juliana left him behind and walked away.
Evan’s face darkened, pulling at his tie, seething with anger without a direction for it.
Ethan cautiously erged from the bar, careful not to provoke him.
"President Grant, Young Master Isaac hasn’t been found, and just now soone deleted the bar’s surveillance."
"Who did it?" Evan’s voice grew colder.
"The monitoring room said it was soone from the Langley Family, they couldn’t provoke them."
Evan’s eyes grew darker and darker.
"Have you investigated who was in Madam’s car?"
"The trackers didn’t see the person clearly, but they went to a love hotel midway..."
Ethan glanced up and noticed his boss’s expression worsen, so he lowered his voice.
"...Stayed for about forty minutes, then went to Blackstar Tower, finally seeing President Langley at the entrance."
Evan snorted coldly, "Coveting my woman, is he quite bold?"
Ethan lowered his head, "Currently, our Cortexa board is seriously divided, and there are rumors that Madam’s Aetherfla Dynamics might cooperate with Blackstar Technologies. Perhaps... he thinks your influence is waning?"
Evan pressed his lips tight, his hand hanging down clenched until it turned white.
The Maybach slowly drove over, and without finding Isaac Grant, Evan and his party left.
In a car hidden in a nearby alley.
Juliana watched the departing Maybach with a sigh of relief.
Her phone pinged—it was a ssage from April Preston.
"He has concerns, wrapping it up soon, preparing to leave after a shower."
Juliana quickly replied:
"You’ve slept with him, and you have a grudge with his wife, tonight is your only chance. Either bind his heart to find yourself a protector or clean your neck and wait for her to co for you."
April sighed, deleted the ssage, and turned off George Grant’s phone.
She poured a cup of hot water, grabbed a box of ice cubes, and walked into the bathroom...
Lily failed to contact George Grant all night, feeling frantic.
The next day, when Stella Windsor ca to see her, she imdiately grabbed her daughter’s hand, refusing to let go.
"Didn’t you say he loves ? Why did he stay out all night just after signing the divorce papers? Had I known, I wouldn’t have signed it even if I died!"
Stella forcibly removed her hand, looking down at the red marks on her wrist, a flicker of displeasure in her eyes.
"Uncle Grant just can’t be reached for now, don’t overthink it."
Lily wouldn’t listen.
"No, he definitely went to find a woman, because it’s been a long ti since he touched , he wouldn’t even let use my hands."
Stella closed her eyes, suppressing the disgust in her heart.
"Even if it’s true, you can’t bla him. Who told you to let Juliana grind you into the ground every ti?"
Lily grew angry, rummaging through to find her phone and handed it to Stella.
"Hurry and recover the data deleted last night, I want to expose Juliana’s adultery to the world, I want her to be ruined!"
...
Juliana slept late yesterday; by noon, after eating at Aetherfla, she took a nap on the office sofa.
After just twenty minutes of sleep, Sumr Shaw rushed in.
"Girl, your pants are on fire, how can you still be in the mood to sleep,"
