    "There is also Old Mr. Gray," Mary said.


    Julia''s face turned even more bitter. "Yes, my father-inw was so upset that Titus could never score


    higher than Henry despite all his studying. When he found out Henry did not like business but was


    more talented than Titus in the field, he was even more dissatisfied. During that time, I did not even


    dare visit Titus. Every time I went, I heard lectures and scolding directed at Titus. He even forced Titus


    to break up with me, saying he was inferior all because he was dating me."


    "What a joke." Mary pursed her lips. "He was ming others for his own inability."


    "That''s how my father-inw is. Still, Titus and I had a great rtionship. Even after all the pushing, he


    never once broke up with me. However, from that day on, he turned into apletely different man. He


    initially had a few tiny ws, but his darkness had grown exponentially since that moment. This was


    especially true when it came to Henry. I don''t know what my father-inw said or did, but Titus was


    always furious and jealous of Henry."


    "Why did you not warn him that his actions were uneptable?" Mary asked, confused.


    Julia bitterly smiled. "Do you think I never tried? I did, but nothing I said was heard. Titus had gone to


    the extreme end and turned into a horrifying man. No matter what I said, he did not listen. If I said too


    much, he would re at me and order me to stay away from Lina. I love him, so I told him I would do it.


    I thought it was only a one-sided but mild hostility. Things would improve, I thought. I never imagined


    things were so much moreplicated than I assumed." She sighed heavily and continued, "Titus


    began to target Henry, constantly trying to push him around. Lina was Henry''s girlfriend and even cameCcontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    to talk to me. On the day we were supposed to meet up, Titus forced me to cut off ties with her. From


    that day on, our friendships were ruined."


    "I see." Mary sighed. "In the end, it''s still family that ruined lives."


    Julia hung her head. "After we cut ties, I felt so uneasy. I kept thinking I had wronged Henry and Lina. I


    wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Titus and convince him to make up with them. The chance


    never came. Soon, I realized years had passed. My desire to repair the friendships faded. Eventually, I


    went with the flow until I found myself drifting away from Henry and Lina."


    "Understandable. Even great friendships will die out if you cannotmunicate frequently," Mary said.


    Julia hummed in agreement. "Titus and I were married as well. We were in it together. My thoughts


    began to focus on helping him. Even so, I still care for Henry and Lina. Whenever I see Lina talking to


    Grace, I am so upset. I knew I had no right to say anything, so I thought to leave it be. I never expected


    Titus to end up trying to steal Paradigm''s technology documents."


    "You mean to say you did not know about it?"


    Julia shook her head. "I did not. I was pregnant with Sonny then, and Titus often kept me in the dark. I


    know he never once stopped targeting Henry, but those were only trivial matters that did not truly hurt


    Henry. At most, Henry would be repulsed and disgusted. There was a time when Titus would get


    incredibly drunk and cry about how the world constantly held Henry up as an example and how he


    could never measure up. It was then that I knew something must have happened."


    "You were right. Titus attacked Paradigm."


    "Yes. Titus had gone mad. He finally used the most despicable method possible to attack Henry. No


    one expected anyone to die, though. Henry was furious. As revenge, he stole away our daughter, our


    most beloved daughter. Henry''s actions did not make Tituse to his senses. Instead, he grew


    worse. The feud between our families worsened until we were mortal enemies."


    "In the end, the person with the greatest me here is still Titus." Mary sighed. "It does not matter if it''s


    because of his family or anything else. He is responsible for his own actions."


    "Yes. Our daughter is finally back. Perhaps, it''s because he''s dying soon, but he has started reflecting


    on his life and the past. He hase to realize all his stubbornness was wrong. That''s why he


    dreamed about Henry and apologized to him. That''s when I realized he had never stopped thinking


    about his best friend."


    "Unfortunately, it is all over. Your families refuse to talk to each other, and Young Master Toby and


    Young Mistress Sonia are caught in the middle. What a shame." Mary shook her head.


    Julia wiped her tears away. "As her parents, we have wronged her. Titus and I never once expected


    Sonny to forgive or get to know us. We only want topensate her for what we owe her."


    At that moment, the door opened. Sonia walked out in a cream-white dress.


    She walked over to Mary, pretended she hadn''t heard their conversation, and asked, "Is it nice?"


    Julia and Mary nodded in awe.


    "You''re gorgeous." Mary grabbed her hand and made her twirl before nodding. "You are beautiful. You


    have a great body with nice curves. Your body shape is the best for this style of dress."


    "Yes. Your waist is so thin, and your skin is so smooth. You look amazing in this," Julia happily said.


    She wanted to emte Mary by touching Sonia, but she held back for fear of being turned down.


    Nheless, she was overjoyed seeing Sonia look so lovely in her dress.


    Sonia''s cheeks were red from the praises they heaped on her. Then, she ducked her head in


    embarrassment. "I don''t like my stomach area, though. It''s bulging." She reached down and caressed


    her belly. While it was not apparent in the mirror, something as fitting as that dress would emphasize


    the stomach area.


    "This is nothing." Mary chuckled. "You are pregnant, not chubby. Anyway, you can wear it after birth


    and get back in shape. We are only trying it out today."


    "Mary is right." Julia nodded.


    Hearing that remark made Sonia stop worrying. "I''ll change back to my old clothes."


    "Try the other outfits first." Mary handed her another dress.


    Julia nodded and stared at her with eyes shimmering with anticipation.


    After hearing that, Sonia felt likeughing on the inside. Do these two think I am a model? Still, she was


    happy to model those outfits for them. Nevertheless, she did not hesitate and immediately got changed.


    She spent the next hour trying on every piece of clothing besides maternity clothes. On the other hand,


    Julia and Mary kept snapping picture after picture. One sent the photos to Toby, while the other sent


    them to Titus.


    It was still dark outside where Toby was, but he was still going through his paperwork in his hotel room.


    When he heard his phone buzz, he grabbed it and looked at it. The message he saw from Mary made


    him frown.
