Chapter 558


    He was the only one who was still holding on to the memory.


    Juliana couldn''t understand the man before her eyes. For some reason, she felt as though he was


    keeping a lot of things to himself. It seems that he''s not going to reveal anything, so I shouldn''t show


    concern. If I were to ask him, he would just brush me off.


    “What exactly do you want, Huntley? If you want me gone, let''s just get on with it. I''ll go somewhere far


    away,” Juliana said.


    Huntley shed a faint smile and uttered in a casual tone, “The child in your tummy needs a father, no?


    Since things havee to this, let''s just stop pretending and make it real.”


    Juliana was stunned, and she stared at him nkly. When she regained her senses, she asked in


    puzzlement, “I-I''ve already taken abortifacient, and I bled a lot. H-How can I still be pregnant? Don''t try


    to fool me, Huntley.”


    Huntley reached out to help her lie down. “The child in your tummy is strong, and it seems that not


    even the abortifacient can get rid of it. Perhaps this is your fate. God wants you to keep the child. If you


    can''t bear to get rid of it, you should just keep it. I''ll deal with the elders.”


    Juliana panicked and gripped his arm. Gritting her teeth, she retorted, “Deal with the elders? You? How


    are you going to do that? Mr. Raymond wants me to get married to you. He has also most probably


    forbidden you to have any emotional entanglement with me, let alone getting me pregnant. If you tell


    him I''m pregnant with your child, he''s going to kill you.”


    Huntley nodded and replied casually, “Well, there will be some punishments, but no one has to die. You


    should take care of the baby instead of worrying about me. Remember this. The child in your tummy is


    mine. When you returned one month ago, we had sex. Understood?”


    Juliana pursed her lips and stared nkly at him. “Why? Why are you doing this? We don''t seem to


    have crossed paths before this, no? Why are you doing so much for me?”


    Huntley smiled bitterly. I wouldn''t be here if not for your help back then, Ms. Juliana.


    “Maybe I was just born to help you. I''m asking you if you wish to have the child. Do you want to be the


    most influential woman in Adrune?” Huntley asked.


    Do I? Is he kidding me? Of course I do! “Are you sure you''ll be able to fool your way through? My dad


    isn''t stupid. He''s a hard man to fool.”


    Huntley tucked her in and uttered gently, “You don''t have to worry about that. Just lie down and rest. By


    the way, I''ve killed all the maids you had in the mansion. They had most probably figured some things


    out, so I had to get rid of them to avoid dire consequences in the future.”


    Juliana widened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief. “T-They watched me grow up...”


    “Do you want to stay alive, Juliana? If you do, then stop feeling sorry for others. In order to survive an


    ancient and scheming family, you have to be conscious of every step you make. Otherwise, more will


    die because of your ridiculous sense of sympathy.”

    Meanwhile, in the living room of the Xuereb residence, Olivia was grabbing Justin''s arm when she


    asked anxiously, “How did it go? Did Mrs. Fletcher say she''s going to help your uncle?”


    Justin pursed his lips and shook his head solemnly. “She said the crime Uncle Ssmitted was too


    serious. Since the Fletcher family has nothing to do with our family, she doesn''t think the Fletcher


    family should risk bailing Uncle Ss out. Please exin it to Granddad. I''ve already done my best.


    Now, let''s leave it to fate. If he''s sentenced, then he should just ept it.”


    Olivia''s expression turned grim, and she roared, “What bullshit are you on about? He''s your uncle, and


    you''re the only one who can save him. If he goes to jail, my family is ruined. Your granddad is an old


    man, so we can''t afford to agitate him. If he dies because of this, the public is going to hold me


    responsible!”


    Justin frowned in response. Although he knew what his mother was going to answer him, he still


    couldn''t help but ask, “What do you want me to do?”


    Olivia gripped his arm and answered immediately, “Didn''t Mrs. Fletcher say they aren''t going to help


    because their family isn''t rted to ours? Why don''t you get associated with them? You could marry


    Lettie.”


    “No way,” Justin rejected the idea right away. “If that''s what you have on your mind, I suggest you give


    up on it. There''s no way I''m marrying Scarlett.”


    Olivia''s gaze darkened, and she gritted her teeth. “Why not? That girl is now Lady Scarlett of Chanaea.


    Why don''t you want to be the son-inw of the most prominent family in Chanaea?”


    Justin red at Olivia and enunciated, “I have a wife now. To marry Scarlett is tomit bigamy.”


    “The Fletcher family will surely help you settle that issue.”


    Justin shook Olivia''s hand off of him and turned to walk toward the door. “I''m not marrying Scarlett. Just


    give up on that idea of yours.”


    Olivia was infuriated, so she shouted at his retreating figure, “Fine! Don''t be surprised to find me dead


    when youe back. I''m going to go on a hunger strike. I refuse to believe that the b*tch, Veronique,


    would still have the cheek to keep pestering you!”


    Over in the living room in the Gezmond residence, Victoria was looking at the finance director


    helplessly when she said, “I''m no longer Saunders Group''s CEO. You can''t achieve anything bying


    to me.”
