"I knew you still loved me," Lyra rushed towards Julian wanting to hug him, but was stopped by his outstretched hands.
The onlookers watched on, wondering what Julian was about to do. They had seen how Lyra had dismissed and insulted him.
They couldn't help but insult him silently seeing he asked to let her go, wondering if he was a wimp.
"What's wrong Julian, why did you ask me to stop?" Lyra asked, looking rather confused.
"Didn't you ask them to stop because you didn't want to see me hurt and want me to come hug you so we can go home and have a good time, live happily for the rest of our lives?" Lyra continued, blinking as she stared at Julian.
"You're speaking about love, Lyra, don't you find that iconic, huh?" Julian mused as he chuckled.
"I..." Lyra stuttered, seemingly rather confused, panic flashed through her face.
Julian was now acquainted with the Brown family and was even able to make the head of the Brown family treat him with respect.
This was even more powerful than Logan. So there was no way she was going to let this go. Besides, they were still legally married, she was yet to sign her part of the divorce.
"But you asked them to let me go," Lyra tried to argue, her voice weak,
"That means you still love me right?" She added, rushing towards Julian and holding his hands.
"Love you?" Julian sneered, pulling his hands away from Lyra's, shoving her away roughly.
"Julian, you said you would love me forever. You said you'd always be by my side," Lyra panicked, tears welled up in her eyes.
"Are you deserving of that huh?" Julian scoffed, his eyes cold, his voice held a hint of melancholy.
"But...."
"But my love is worth nothing. My love can't even buy you a hand bag or a diamond ring, so why stress yourself with useless things such as love," Julian interrupted Lyra and turned Lucien.
"If I may, there's a document on the floor just right outside, could I ask one of your men to retrieve it on my behalf," Julian requested.
"Sure, why not," Lucien agreed readily and signalled to one of his guards who rushed out to retrieve the documents.
"Here sir," The guard handed the divorce papers, Lyra had left outside.
"Thank you," Julian collected it and turned back to Lyra.
"I've signed my part, sign yours and get the heck out of my face," Julian commanded, a glint flashed in his eyes.
He knew damn too well that if it were not because he had Lucien's favour, he wouldn't be here at the moment.
She wouldn't even have looked at him for a second. She was the same person who watched coldly while Logan's guards broke his bone.
Yet, she was talking about love.
He couldn't be happier that all of these had happened before he awakened this knowledge. Else, with the way Lyra was, he was sure she was going to be his downfall, sooner or later.
There were no two doubts about this. Thinking like this, Julian heaved a sigh of relief.
There was no way he was going to take even a second look at her. He was disgusted to even do so.
"But..."
"We've got nothing to talk about, sign it and get the fuck out of my face, you disgusts me," Julian growled and turned around, ignoring Lyra, his voice void of emotions.
"Julian," Lyra screamed, ignoring the papers on the floor, wanting to rush towards Julian but was stopped coldly by Lucien's guards.
"Get her to sign it and throw her out," Lucien commanded and then rushed towards Julian. After all, this bank was his family's property, the latter had come here to cash out the money he had given him and yet he was humiliated.
He needed to make sure to appease the latter, maybe, at least he was going to be satisfied with whatever he was going to do.
"Sir..."
"Ohh yeah, I forgot to mention it," Julian interrupted Lucien who was about to say something.
"Your Manager fired the helpless cashier who wanted to cash out the money,"
Hearing this, Lucien swallowed and he felt his body weak. What kind of dumb subordinate did he have?
He didn't even try to call to check in with him. Neither did he try to verify the issue. He just took one random person's words and decided to act on it.
"Jude, pack your things and get out of my face," Lucien ordered, half yelling.
"Sir..."
"You're fired," He added again,
"But..."
"Throw him out," He instructed and immediately, the guards sprang to action, grabbing Jude.
"I'm sorry for what just happened," Lucien turned to the cashier who was frozen in fear and apologized.
"The Brown family would be responsible for what had just happened and we are willing to pay any form of compensation."
""No..no it's fine," The cashier hurriedly shook her head as she stuttered.
It would be greedy of her to demand anything. She was lucky she didn't even lose her job.
"Also, as the head of the Brown family, I'm announcing that you're now the new manager of the bank," Lucien suddenly announced..
"Huh?" The cashier froze, panic flashed across her face.
"Sir..".
"You can do it," Lucien interrupted the cashier, refusing to listen to what she had to say.
"Congratulations on the promotion," Julian chuckled, stretching his hands for a handshake.
"Yes?" The cashier swallowed her saliva, not knowing how to respond, and could just nod.
"Can I still have my money cashed out?" Julian chuckled as he asked.
"Yes..yes sir..sir..." She stuttered, rushing back to her seat and stated the process, while Lucien handed her the card.
A few minutes later, the cashier was done transferring the money into Julian's account.
"Thank you very much for your services," Julian thanked the cashier and prepared to leave the bank.
Seeing this, Lucien signalled to his men to take care of things while he hurriedly followed Julian out of the bank.

Who are you?
“Thank you.” Julian smiled, touched by her gestures, before he sat down on the chair. He looked back at her and wanted to start the discussion when she suddenly bowed to him, not only startling him but also making his jaw drop.“I am so sorry for putting you through all that. It was never my intention. I don't know how to properly apologize to you, but I mean this…I am deeply sorry, Julian.” She said, sounding so depressed and pained, but for his sake?“Come on, Brittany, none of it was your fault. I never blamed you or even thought of it. At least, I was able to help so you guys could see who the enemy actually is.”Julian quickly spoke as he saw no reason why she was bowing to him. He did what he did out of good intentions but nothing else. For the little time he had known her now, he could tell she was far better than her other family members. “But…” Brittany bit her lips. Regardless of how he might say it, she had felt guilty about it, and it couldn't be helped.“If you want to

Something to discuss
The morning light filtered through the windows, piercing into Julian's eyes and forcing him to wake up. He sighed and stretched before rubbing his eyes.His eyes then wandered off to the alarm clock on the bedside cupboard, and he gasped.“It's 9? Damn it! I slept for so long!”Even though he didn't have a busy schedule today, he didn't expect to wake up so late. He had places to go, such as goddamn properties to meet Brittany.Not for her grandfather's condition, as he knew that as long as they took his medications seriously, he was going to heal in no time. Instead, what he wanted was to discuss the construction of the clinic with her, how much it would cost, and how long it would take for it to be completed.He aimed to have it completed within a month. He was running low on money, so he wanted everything set up so he could begin as soon as possible.He had such great ambition, so he wasn't supposed to sleep off like he didn't. He quickly hurried off to take his bath, changed into
What a day indeed
Vroom!The sound of Julian's car engine blared into the air, sounding more like music as it announced itself, unlike most cars that gave off noise pollution. As he was about to pull over to his garage, he noticed someone seated in front of his house.It was a female. She had her head resting in her chin, seemingly lost in thought as she waited. But for whom? Julian?Julian's eyes narrowed as a deep frown emerged on his face. He felt the urge to drop by and drag that woman off his house but decided to park his car first.The garage door was automatic. As soon as his car arrived, it opened itself, and Julian drove in and parked.By the time he was back, the figure was up already and had walked to the edge of the garage, waiting for him to come out. As soon as he did, she immediately flew into his arms, making sure her cleavage was exposed, and surprisingly, she was dressed in a skimpy gown like she was going to a party.“Ooh Julian, I have missed you so much!”“What are you doing here
Bring him to me
“Failed, huh? I knew you were so incompetent and so unfit for the task. Master should have sent me instead, and I would have done it so perfectly!” Veyron used the medium to his advantage and was taking pleasure in it.“You will never be welcome back here if you can't do such a simple task. Or tell me, did your brain become so old and rusty after working for the Brown family for so long?” He added, smiling.Henry was boiling in so much anger, but rather than cursing at him, he was cursing at Julian instead for making things turn out this way for him.“So, who bought the land instead?” Lu Tian asked, sounding curious.“I am sure anyone would have been so scared to intervene if they knew the Lu clan wanted that piece of land,” Karl spoke with a hand on his chin as he thought through the situation.“Or maybe we have gotten ourselves a tough opponent,” Xavian said next, giving out speculation.“Why don't we let Henry answer the question so we can know the reason he failed so miserably?” V
