Chapter 198: Someone
He heaved a deep sigh. “Moving forward. “You shouldn't have the hotel staff that handles that,” he added.Jullinna nodded her head. "I... I wanted to do it myself; it's the least I could do for causing such troubles,” she replied. Ryan studied her for several seconds. There was something about the way she spoke that made him realise she wasn't simply trying to be helpful but was trying to repay a debt."You're not responsible for your stepmother's or brother's actions,” he muttered. 'And definitely you don't owe me anything,” he added. Julianna looked at him but allowed silence to linger through the room.Across the kitchen space, Ryan moved his gaze to the refrigerator. She followed him with her eyes, and Ryan opened the refrigerator, and his hand stopped with the door ajar.The refrigerator was completely stocked with water, juices, fresh vegetables, and other stuff he remembered wasn't there before."Did you do this?" He asked, genuinely curious, and Julianna slowly nodded."I no
Chapter 197: A Clear City
What?!” The woman yelled, snapping her head to Ryan. “B… But I did as you asked!” She shrieked, crawling backwards as if that would somehow stop the men. The two security men reached for her arm, struggling to maintain their grip. The judge, who couldn't believe what was going on, shook his head with tears clouding his face. “P… Please, you can't do this,” he stuttered. Ryan ignored their protest and watched as the security men dragged them out towards the entrance. Hearing the screams of her stepmother and brother, Jullinma narrowed her eyes in surprise at Ryan. “M…Mr Wright, you said you would let them go,” she whispers. Ryan nodded. “I did but not after a day or two in a closed bar,” he muttered, walking away. At this moment, the fatigue of the day was slowly catching up to him. Without any more words, he pulled out his own key and moved into the interior of the penthouse. Across New City, dusk lurked on the horizon, covering the city with a soft golden glow. On the upper flo
Chapter 196: Apologize
He turned to the other figure, his expression calm as ever. “I will forgive you,” he said.“What! You will?!” The figures asked in unison. Hope appeared on their faces, and it was almost pathetic. The woman quickly nodded. "Thank you,” she said, staring at her son in relief.Ryan raised one finger. "But there's a condition."The woman's smile disappeared instantly, forcing a lump down her throat. "What condition?”Ryan smiled. “I will forget you invading my privacy and illegally using my own house if you kneel and beg Julianna for forgiveness,” he said.A brief silence lingered through the room, and both mother and son stared at each other in shock. Neither seemed capable of processing what they had just heard, making Ryan wait patiently.When the woman finally turned towards him. "Y…you want me to what?" She asked with a furrowed brow."Kneel, and apologise to your stepdaughter," he repeated. Her face reddened, with disbelief washing over her face like she had heard the most insult
Chapter 195: Asking Forgiveness
Judge watched as the last student from his department slipped through the threshold, making his earlier arrogance completely disappear. His mother, who was standing next to him, wore similar expressions, with her eyes constantly moving between Ryan and the elevator, as though she were calculating whether there was still a way out of the situation.She heaved a sigh, as if dismissing her initial plan; running was no use, and she would be caught even before she could reach the threshold of the living room.Julianna, on the other hand, stood several steps behind them, and unlike the other two, she wasn't looking for an escape but rather had her attention fixed on Ryan, making the silence stretch through the atmosphere.Her stepmother slowly turned her head towards her, Julianna, and for a moment her body stiffened. For years, that look had been enough to make her uncomfortable. Her stepmother wasn't looking at her with affection, and she was looking at her because she needed something.A
Chapter 194: Take Them
Julianna shifted her gaze in her direction. “Gratitude?” She asked as if the word were sounding foreign to her. “What about me? Where is my gratitude?” She asked.The woman's face instantly masked with irritation. “What are you talking about?”“I'm talking about doing your job!” She yelled, and for the first time since Julianna walked in, her words made a hint of surprise mask her face. “I gave my life up for you, and where is my gratitude?”Another silence lingered through "I worked two jobs while you went around telling your friends you came from a wealthy family."Her stepmother tightened her throat. "That's not true.""Isn't it?" Julianna's eyes burned. "Then why did you never tell them I was the one helping pay your bills?"The woman instantly forced another lump down her throat as she shifted her gaze from Julianna to the other listening figures besides her.“And you", she narrowed her gaze to her judge. “I paid for your college with a job you were too embarrassed about, and ye
Chapter 193: Access Card
“You mean my father's house,” the girl muttered, but before the words could settle, the woman's hand landed on her face, and the sound echoed through the space."You have no right to claim that property, not one room or one piece of furniture. Nothing!"Julianna slowly looked back at her, with tears clouding her eyes, and her lips trembled.The woman continued. "If you still want to live there, I suggest you learn to watch your mouth,” she suggested, and Julianna held her face, which had turned red.Ryan's expression darkened, and when The security chief noticed his expression – the man daggered his eyes at the woman – but Ryan lifted one hand, and the man immediately stopped. Ryan didn't want anyone interfering, as he wanted to understand what was happening.Behind them, whispers began spreading."Isn't that Judge's sister?" A girl leant towards her friend.Ashley, who was standing nearby, shook her head. "Step-sister," she corrected, lowering her voice as she turned to the direction
