CHAPTER 34
"Ah," Arthur quickly changed his expression to one of sorrow. "I mean, excellent because at least my son didn't suffer any permanent physical disabilities."After the medical team left the mansion, Arthur immediately ushered Valerie, Ryan, and Amber into his private study on the second floor.Click. The thick mahogany wood door was locked tightly from the inside.The moment the door locked, Ryan could no longer hold back his satisfied laughter. He threw his body roughly onto the leather chair. "Damn it! I truly thought that bastard was the mastermind behind the crash of our stocks and the seizure of Amber’s penthouse yesterday!"Valerie sat on the sofa, crossing her legs elegantly while adjusting her hair. "Think about it logically, Ryan. Julian is indeed smart in business, but he has never possessed this kind of cyber capability. It means our guess was right... all of these financial attacks are purely the rogue actions of Lawyer Edward Harris operating alone using Julian's name!"Am
CHAPTER 33
Julian picked up the photo, brought it closer to his face, then laid it back down with an indifferent shake of his head. "No. But she is the woman who was being very noisy on the steps earlier."Amber’s jaw instantly clenched tight, while Ryan immediately shot her a glaring, mocking smirk.Lastly, Doctor Matthew placed an old photograph that looked slightly worn. The moment that piece of paper touched the table, something deep inside Julian’s chest throbbed sharply.A photo of his mother, Rose Vance.The woman in the photo wore a white dress with the most graceful smile Julian had ever seen in his life. Julian's fingers atop his knees briefly tensed, desperately wanting to caress the surface of the photo. However, a cold voice from the System instantly resonated within his consciousness.[Warning: Heir's Emotional Turmoil Detected.] [AURA ACTING — PERFECT AMNESIA: ABSOLUTELY ACTIVE.] [Stabilizing neural responses... Suppressing blood pressure spikes...]The medical monitor screen in f
CHAPTER 32
"I don't want to," Julian rejected flatly, his body stiffening. He immediately tugged at Chloe’s sleeve. "I don't want to be examined unless Chloe comes inside with me."Amber, who had been holding back her annoyance in the rear, suddenly clicked her tongue harshly. "Julian! You are the heir to the Vance family! Why on earth are you dragging that lower-district woman along, even into the medical room?!"Julian spun his body, staring at Amber with a cold, flat gaze entirely devoid of any spark of recognition. "Who are you? Why have you been shouting at me ever since we were at the diner?"Slap!Julian's innocent question felt like an invisible slap landing square on Amber's face right in front of the servants. Amber's face instantly flushed crimson with embarrassment. "I-I... I am your fiancée!"Julian ignored her and stubbornly looked back at Arthur. Arthur, not wanting to ruin this precious moment, immediately shot Amber a sharp glare. "Amber, enough! Chloe, please accompany Julian i
CHAPTER 31
Suddenly, the massive front doors swung wide open. A middle-aged woman wrapped in a purple silk gown walked out with hurried steps.Valerie Vance.Valerie’s eyes appeared tearful, and her hands trembled as she cupped her own face, as if witnessing a miracle. "Julian... Oh my God, Julian!"The woman jogged down the steps, spreading her arms wide to embrace Julian. However, right before the edge of Valerie’s gown could touch his shoes, Julian executed a swift, sharp step backward, hiding his tall frame completely behind Chloe’s small back.Valerie’s steps came to an abrupt halt. Her hands hung stiffly in mid-air, creating a tense, awkward silence in the outer courtyard.Julian peeked from behind Chloe’s shoulder with a gaze filled with deep wariness and glaring discomfort. "Don't... don't touch me."A few elderly servants who were bowing secretly glanced up, their eyes flashing with quiet satisfaction. The sweet smile on Valerie’s face cracked for a hundredth of a second before she mana
CHAPTER 30
Ryan’s smile widened instantly. He nodded quickly, even letting out a soft chuckle as if deeply relieved. "That's right, Brother. I'm Ryan. The two of us... we have been very close all this time."Very close indeed, Julian thought coldly, while his facial mask maintained its empty vacancy.“So close that you slept with my fiancée, burned my body, and now I will make sure you see for yourself what it feels like to lose your entire world.”Julian lowered his gaze, staring at the floor of the car. "I don’t remember.""It’s alright, Brother." Ryan patted Julian’s knee casually. "We have plenty of time to recover everything."Julian did not answer. He just remained quiet, letting the car drive on. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught the flashing glances exchanged between Arthur and Ryan—a signal of absolute relief that they could not hide.A few minutes later, the Rolls-Royce slowed down. In the distance, a towering black iron gate loomed, with a golden letter V engraved right in the c
CHAPTER 29
The black Rolls-Royce glided smoothly, leaving behind the cracked asphalt roads of the lower district. From behind the dark tinted windows, the rows of old buildings, corner grocery stores, and plumes of smoke from small food stalls gradually faded away. The scenery shifted, replaced by a line of mirror-glass skyscrapers and the pristine sidewalks of elite Manhattan.Julian sat quietly in the spacious backseat. Beside him, Chloe Miller sat with a straight back, gently squeezing her worn-out crossbody bag. Julian’s fingers were tightly intertwined with hers, holding the girl’s hand with a slightly trembling grip—a well-rehearsed gesture from his Aura Acting - Perfect Amnesia skill to show that he was terrified and entirely reliant on Chloe.Right across from them, Arthur Vance sat leaning back with his counterfeit dignity, while Ryan took his place beside his father with his legs crossed.Since the car started moving ten minutes ago, the cabin had been dead silent. There was only the s
