Chapter 11 Win Back

The couple was instantly silenced, as they could not afford to risk it. All they could do was watch as she left. Albert and Judy looked worried. "What should we do? If Mother doesn't show up at the engagement, she won’t attend the wedding. The public will surely criticize our family.” This was why Judy insisted Melissa attend the engagement. Melissa's presence as a grandmother here would be interpreted as approval of the marriage. No matter what others said, they would not dare speak ill of the elderly. Melissa’s refusal to attend the engagement would cause problems. Meanwhile, Albert felt frustrated because Julianna had returned, jeopardizing his position. He pushed Judy away in irritation. "Enough! I’ve said from the beginning that we should wait a little longer, but you didn't listen to me. Now you're asking me what to do? You deal with it yourself. If you embarrass our family, you and your daughter can leave!" With both gone, the entire Wilson family fortune was his. Besides, he was still young and could easily find another woman and have a son. He could then pass on the Wilson family legacy to his son. Judy landed hard and stared in shock at Albert as he turned to leave. She could not believe he would treat her that way when they had been married for years. In reality, both of them were ruthless and felt emotions could be discarded. Judy's goal was to secure the Wilson family's fortune, and she would never allow any issues to arise midway. She gritted her teeth, stood up, and called Blanche. … Julianna had no idea Sean would be the first person she saw when she returned. He was dressed elegantly in a white suit. However, Julianna was well aware that it was all an act. In reality, he was completely rotten. "Juliana, you've been gone for so many years. Do you remember the food here? We used to come to this restaurant often when we were in school." Although Sean tried to get closer to her, she did not fall for it at all. She continued eating calmly. Today's meal was on Sean, so there was no reason to decline it. He seemed slightly embarrassed by her reaction. "It's alright. The past isn't that important, right?" Sean looked at Julianna with expectant eyes. Julianna was baffled. Was Sean out of his mind? He had a good relationship with Blanche over the years, and they were about to marry. "Sean, our relationship ended five years ago. Why’d you ask me out today? What do you want to talk to me about?" "I was wondering if we could go back to how we were. I mean, back when we were about to get engaged." Sean looked somewhat nervous but gazed at Julianna with deep affection. Julianna could not help but laugh at this. ‘What on earth is he talking about?’ Despite not living in Billy City during these years, Julianna was aware of Sean’s relationship with Blanche. They were already engaged to be married, but it was bewildering for him to utter such words. "I don't blame you for what happened back then. You had two babies who couldn’t be terminated due to your poor health. But they’ll be a burden to us. If you're willing to give them up, we can go back to how we were. That’s what you wanted, right?" Julianna sneered, "Are you insane? How could you say such a thing to me, and what made you think I want to go back to you?" "Why not?" Sean was confident because he knew how much she liked him. Sean was very adept at manipulating others. His initial connection with Julianna was because the Wilson family had something valuable. Later, it was the same with Blanche. Sean had recently learned some shocking news—Juliana owned the entire Wilson family properties. This meant that neither Blanche nor their father, Albert, had any claim to the Wilson family's entire business. In other words, as long as he could marry Juliana, all of the Wilson family's wealth would be his. Just thinking about it made Sean incredibly excited. He was working hard to build a relationship with Juliana and win her heart. Julianna shook her head with a smile. She was aware he had ulterior motives and would not fool her again. Suddenly, she saw a man in a suit and leather shoes. This man had a strong presence, and people around him instinctively made way when they saw him. Juliana's eyes lit up when she saw him. She looked at Sean with a playful expression and pointed at the man. "Do you know that person?" Sean was stunned to see Elvis. "Elvis has been looking for me. We were in a relationship in the past, and although I broke up with him, he still loves me and wants to get back together. What do you have that could compare to him?" Juliana's words left Sean speechless. He was exceptional, but compared to Elvis, he was far behind. "Juliana, don't joke around." Sean could not believe that Elvis would be interested in Juliana.
