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
Chapter 192: Price Of Family
"Mr Wright, what are your orders?” The head of security asked, and his men placed their hands at their belts, waiting for orders. When the man didn't get any response, he narrowed his gaze from between the young CEO and the chaos unfolding around them.The student whose face is masked with horror stares at the man who could decide their fate in the next seconds. “Are they going to take us into custody?” whispered Roamed from the back.The tension only suffocates the room more with the amount of new security personnel now streaming into the lobby.“S…she is here,” a voice called out, but the murmurs from the other students swallowed it. “She is here!” The voice yelled louder. The room slowly dropped to a silence, and everyone narrowed their gaze to the back, and one by one they all parted ways for the incoming figure.From the distance Ryan could see the nervous expression etched on the young girl's face. She was probably around the same age as several of the students in the room. Bu
Chapter 191: Realization
"What?"“What!” The words reverberated through the shocked crowd, and another girl stepped forward, shaking her head.“Y… You said you have access to a penthouse in Selena, but you assured me it was legal and it belonged to your family!” The girl shrieked.The judge scoffed, glancing around to stare at his colleague. “Why is everyone blaming me?! That was what I was told!” He said defensively, turning back to his mother. “Mom, what is the meaning of this?” He asked, with fear and curiosity masking his face.The woman swallowed another lump and shifted her gaze from her son to the men who were staring at her for an explanation. “D…Don't worry. Lilian will be here in a few minutes, and then she can explain better,” she said, wearing a shivering smile.“What!” Judge yelled, with his eyes widening with shock. “You got the access from Lilian!” “Don't worry, she—”“For Christ's sake, Mom, it's Liliana!” Judge felt the remaining color from his face disappear. “She is nothing but a girl doin
