Chapter 21
Chapter 21 You Are More Important Than Him
Annalise did not expect a young man in Jadeborough, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth,
to have a scarred childhood.
All of a sudden, she felt sorry for him.
Annalise lost her mother when she was three, while Julian lost his mother when he was seven.
Her father was unknown, and his father did not care about him.
Although her life seemed more tragic, his life was rather pitiful too.
Hence, she tried to hold his hand andforted him silently.
Feeling the heat on the back of his hand, Julian smiled and held Annalise’s hand back.
He put her hand on the steering wheel and said, “Drive carefully.”
Annalise’s ears turned red. She quickly concentrated on the road after that.
Suddenly, Julian called out, “Annalise!”
“Hmm?” Annalise responded.
He sounded strange, and she thought he looked too serious.
“Although we don’t know each other well, we are still husband and wife,” Julian said.
Annalise felt that the man sounded too serious. She immediately corrected him, “We’re fake husband
and wife, and it’s going tost for only three months.”
“Yes, three months. So, within these three months, we have to abide by the agreement. Unless we
agree to break up with each other, no one can separate us,” Julian said.
Annalise was a clever woman. She quickly turned to look at Julian and asked, “You think your father
wille to look for me?”
“Maybe,” Julian answered.
Annalise nced at Julian again, but as soon as she saw his grim expression, she joked, “Would you
be angry with me if I scolded your father as you did?” She wanted him to loosen up.
“No!”
“Really?”
“Yeah, because you’re more important than him in my heart.”
From the moment they received their marriage certificate, Julian knew that Annalise was the one he
would protect for the rest of his life.
Annalise’s heart skipped a beat.
“Why am I so touched hearing his words? Is it because I’m hungry for love since I grew up without
parents?” she wondered.
She had fallen in love with Benjamin because he had said that she was important to him too.

Annalise had always thought that she was a sensible person, yet she still could not help but fall in love
with Benjamin because of his serious confession and affection.
Julian, however, was different from Benjamin.
While Benjamin was romantic and was good at giving surprises, Julian was someone who would
choose her instead of a priceless bracelet.
I really should stopparing them with each other,” she thought.
After sending Julian back to the hotel, Annalise told him to have a good rest.
In return, Julian reminded Annalise to drive carefully on her way back. He also told her to wait for him
at the Barton residence tomorrow and that he would go over and apany her to talk about the
shares with Kent.
Annalise waved him goodbye, then drove back to the Barton residence.
When she arrived home, Tony and Alexander had already left.
Seeing Annalise, Abigail rushed over and started a heated argument with her. “Annalise, shame on
you! Aren’t you in love with Benjarnin? Why did you hook up with Julian?”
Abigail’s words amused Annalise. She refuted, “Aren’t you the one who wants to be with Benjamin? I
gave him to you, so why are you still making a fuss here?”
“Did I ask you to give him to me? Who do you think you are? Divorce Julian right now!” Abigail
snapped.
Tony had a good impression of Abigail and had no opinion for her to marry his son.
If Annalise did not divorce Julian, then the only person she could marry was Alexander.
However, after spending time with him several times, Abigail preferred Julian.
Julian was the eldest son of the Parks family. Not only that, but he was also the general manager of the
headquarters and was more handsome than Alexander.
Abigail thought that Julian, with such a cool and arrogant temperament, must be someone who was
capable and had a strong will.
Otherwise, he would not have dared to challenge Tony.
“Idiot!” Annalise chided with contempt and went up the stairs.
“How dare you call me an idiot? I’m going to kill you, you bitch. Get out of here! Get out of the house
right. now!” Abigail wanted to follow Annalise upstairs.
Standing on the stairs, Annalise looked at Abigail with disdain and said, “You’re the one who should get
out of this house! As I said, my mom left this house for me. You guys should move out as soon as
possible.”
After saying that, she continued to make her way up the stairs.
“Anna!” Kent bellowed.
Annalise turned around and looked at him indifferently.
She had only known Kent for his selfishness and greed. But after what happened tonight, she saw a
whole new level of nasty on him.
“How shameless of him to use such kinds of drugs!” she eximed inwardly.
“Divorce Julian. You saw it too. Julian’s dad doesn’t like you at all. You will have to divorce him
eventually, so why do you want to get in your sister’s way?” asked, Kent.
Annalise gave Kent a nonchnt look and said, “Uncle Kent, don’t worry about me. Just find a ce
and leave as soon as possible!”
With that, she went up to her room without looking back again.
Once Annalise was gone, Bethany cursed through gritted teeth, “She has moved to the city for more
than at year, but all she has gained is that arrogant attitude of hers. Who is she to ask us to leave all
the time? Hubby, do we really need to move and give up this house?”
“In her dreams!” Kent gnashed his teeth.
“What did you say the other day about having thest alternative?” Bethany asked.
“I’ve been transferring thepany’s property since a few years ago, just in case thewyer helps
Annalise. Also, I’ve fired almost all the senior executives Heather had promoted with the excuse that
they’re too old to adapt to thepany’s growth. The rest of the senior executives are my confidants.”
“That’s good.” Bethany felt relieved. “Hubby, what do you think we should do about Abbie?” she added
worriedly.
Abigail furrowed her brows. She held her phone and said, “Dad, Alexander sent me a message again.
He proposed to me.”
“Alexander is using you to crush Annalise to benefit himself,” Kent said.
“I think the rtionship between Alexander and Tony is better than the rtionship between Julian and
Tony,” Bethany chimed in.
“You’re right. But Julian is the eldest son, after all, and he has Samuel’s support,” Kent said solemnly.
Bethany sneered, “Samuel is almost 80 years old. How long can he live? Didn’t you see it? He choked
and almost died at the dinner that day. He’s dying. Aren’t Tony and Alexander going to be in charge of
the Parks family after that?”
Kent fell into deep thought.
Abigail’s frown deepened as she thought, “Yeah, as soon as Samuel dies, Tony and Alexander will be
in charge of the Parks family. Besides, Alexander told me that Samuel is very good to him. Alexander
seems not bad at all. The thing is, Julian doesn’t like me, and Annalise is not easy to deal with now.
God, this is hard.”
“Abbie, what do you think?” Bethany asked.
Abigail turned to look at her father. “What do you think, Dad?”
Kent said, “No matter what, Alexander is much better than Benjamin. How about we take the chance?
In any case, Alexander and Julian will be the onespeting with each other in the end. Julian has
Samuel’s support, but Alexander, too, has Tony’s support. Hence, both of them are equally strong.”
He continued, “As long as you’re stronger than Annalise, you can be of great help to Alexander in the
future, and Alexander’s chances of winning will be greater too. We’vee this far; Julian fell for our
trap, but he managed to suppress the drug’s effect. I don’t think we can find another chance in the
future. If we miss Alexander this time, you’ll end up with Benjamin in the end.”
