"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.

The Preston family
Julian didn’t hesitate. He hurried to the kitchen and opened the fridge. His eyes glistened when he saw the plate of food. It was a plate of spaghetti and meat sauce. Julian couldn’t begin to recount when last he had such a meal.He had yet to take a spoon, yet he could tell how good it would taste from how it appeared alone. It was still on a plate but was covered. She must have served the food first, thinking he would come sooner, but since he didn’t, she had no choice but to put it in the fridge.Since it was cold, he took it to the oven and microwaved it for a few minutes. The food became hot in no time, and all the spices wafted into his nostrils, getting him more excited.He began to dig in even before taking a seat. After all, aside from being hungry, there were a couple of things he had in mind to do before taking a nap. First was taking a bath and then going to cultivate. He had been cultivating two things: medicine and Qi. As for the former, even though he had all the know
Too stubborn
The call soon came to an end. Flourish gave up on the idea of trying to talk to him about his safety as he kept on sounding stubborn and seemed ready to face off the family whenever they decided to show their faces to interrogate him.At this point, she was in her office in her nightwear about to sleep on the chair. Her thoughts drifted back to the memories she shared with Doris, how they had been good friends before everything took a sudden turn and became filled with so much hatred.Why did it have to end this way? She thought deeply with a strong sense of grievance in her chest. Regardless of what the woman had put her through, she couldn’t just bring herself to be so cold and not ponder about it.The scariest part was that she was killed by her fiancé. Does this mean she was hated even by her own loved ones? Flourish inhaled deeply yet again.Doris was the reason she lost her house, her workers, and everything. Perhaps she wasn’t supposed to be feeling guilty for her death. She tr
Network issues
Phew!Julian suddenly sneezed. He rubbed the tip of his nose with a smile. “It seems someone is talking about me.” He uttered, sounding suspicious.“Someone is talking about you?” At the passenger's seat, Feddrick asked with widened eyes. He couldn’t help but wonder who it might be. However, he knew one thing for sure, and that was the fact that the Beckham family would definitely come for revenge for what happened to one of their own.Yet Julian didn't seem concerned about it or even mention it. It was like he didn’t care. Though he understood Julian’s perspective, if he hadn’t stepped up for them, it was unlikely that they would have been left alive or perfectly fine without some broken legs, arms, or swollen face by now.“I will step down by the end of the street.” Federick suddenly pointed at a spot ahead through the windshield.“Okay.” Julian nodded before he slowly approached the end of the street and stopped by a rental apartment. He could tell that it was where Federick lived
Have you heard of the miracle doctor?
Both fist fang and iron fist trembled all over, not daring to look up or refute, as they knew how grave their situation was. The Beckham family had been responsible for them since they were little, such as providing resources for them to grow stronger, in return, to help and serve the family.Every top family had taken it upon themselves to groom experts who would be at their beck and call to help them carry out such tasks regardless of bad or good ones. Also, they were used to making a stance in society.Or else if they were any weaker, an opposition family might use it to bring them down. Same as Joseph's situation. It would definitely cause a huge stir; that was why Thomas hadn’t taken him out of the hotel yet.He had even invited a physician over because he wanted to take care of everything here and now to avoid news from spreading.“Dad, just kill them!” Joseph said ruthlessly. “That should be the price for not being able to protect me. Look at me now; I am nothing but a cripple!
