    Chapter 140 Unwilling to divorce


    As the waiter saw Julian’s face darken, she was startled. “Mr. Graham… Is there something wrong?”


    She was just conveying Mr. Lance’s message, why would this S-ss member of Glory Group’s be so


    angry?


    S-ss customers were extremely wealthy and influential, and she couldn’t afford to offend such a


    high-profile client.


    Initially, she didn’t dare toe and deliver the message, but Mr. Lance gave her a generous tip, and


    she


    couldn’t resist conveying his words.


    This was the Sunny Restaurant, where he often came for business discussions. If any unfavorable


    news


    spread here, it would damage the reputation of the Graham family.


    Julian suppressed his anger and regained hisposure, saying, “It’s nothing, just don’t forget what I


    told


    you earlier. Every time Miss. Spearses to the Sunny Restaurant, charge it to my ount.”


    “Okay, okay, don’t worry, I won’t forget,” the waiter nodded repeatedly.


    After saying those words, Julian walked out of the private room without looking back.


    As soon as Niki saw Julian lift his leg and leave, she hurriedly followed, “Brother Julian… Wait for Niki!”


    She was wearing high heels today, with tall heels that made walking very inconvenient. After a few


    steps of


    running, her ankles were already sore.


    She stumbled down the stairs, the high heels making a sound against the wooden steps.


    Because it’s a ce where wealthy people conduct business and have dinner dates, the Sunny


    Restaurant usually ys very elegant and quiet music. The serene atmosphere, coupled with the


    smooth and melodious piano tunes, creates the perfect ambiance.


    Clearly, Niki’s hurried footsteps disrupted this refined atmosphere. The guests downstairs turned their


    heads towards her, casting curious nces.


    Feeling embarrassed under the scrutiny of so many unfamiliar eyes, Niki suddenly stopped in her


    tracks, no longer hurrying forward.


    However, Julian was walking quickly, and with just a brief pause of two steps, Niki found herself several


    meters away from him. With no other choice, she gritted her teeth and continued moving forward


    despite her trepidation.


    “Niki…?” Suddenly, a female voice echoed.


    Niki kept her head down, wanting to quickly leave the ce. The moment she heard the voice, she


    startled.


    “Sister Niki!” Another female voice followed suit.


    Niki couldn’t help but raise her head and look towards the direction of the voices. It was twodies-one


    wearing a pink dress with loose hair cascading over her shoulders, adorned with fluffy bubble sleeves,


    appearing adorable.


    The otherdy had apletely different style, wearing a ck tank top and a ck leather skirt,


    paired with


    wavy, voluminous hair, exuding sensuality.


    It was evident they were the two individuals she tried to win over during the previous banquet. One was


    Zoey,


    and the person standing beside her must be ra, right?


    “Sister Niki, are you here to dine as well?” Zoey eximed with enthusiasm.


    “Ah… yes,” Niki responded, although these two were the people she tried to get close to within the


    society


    circle, and she had invested considerable effort into it.


    However, it wasn’t the time for pleasantries now.


    “What a coincidence! We’re here to have a meal too,” Zoey continued,pletely oblivious to Niki’s


    difort, as she spoke for herself.


    “Oh, what a coincidence,” Niki said, her gaze ncing towards the direction Julian had gone. If she


    lingered


    here any longer, he would be far away.


    “But Sister Niki, are you dining alone? Did President Graham note?” Zoey looked around, not


    seeing


    anyone nearby.


    ra chimed in, “Wait, didn’t I see Mr. Graham just now when I entered? It seemed like he was


    leaving?”


    “Really?” Zoey Immediately looked out upon hearing that, and indeed, at the entrance of the Sunny


    Restaurant, there was a man in a suit opening the door and walking outside.


    Judging from his figure and demeanor, it was indeed Julian.


    However, Zoey could recognize Julian at a nce, not because she was familiar with him, but because


    Julian’s posture was too striking, and his overall demeanor was very distinctive, exuding a sense of


    distance


    unique to an untouchable prodigy.


    Therefore, almost everyone in the prestigious circle of Los Angeles could recognize Julian at a nce.


    “Niki sister, why aren’t you walking with President Graham? Did you have a fight?” Zoey’s tone was


    concerned.


    C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.


    “Ah… We didn’t have a fight,” Niki replied absentmindedly, clearly lost in thought and not focused on


    the


    conversation.


    The driver had long parked the car by the roadside, and Julian was now just a few steps away from the


    vehicle.


    Feeling anxious, Niki hurriedly uttered those words and walked away, leaving Zoey and ra standing


    in ce. Zoey only managed to say half of what was on her mind before she saw Niki’s hurried steps


    and


    decided to withhold her words.


    “Don’t you have any observational skills?” ra squinted his eyes, watching Niki’s retreating figure and


    spoke


    1.


    Zoey blinked, sounding puzzled, “How did Ick observational skills?”


    “When Julian just passed by, I clearly saw that he had a cold expression on his face, and there was an


    icy aura emanating from him. It was obvious he was angry,” ra’s tone was teasing.


    “He’s angry? Did they have a fight?” Zoey finally caught on “But Niki sister told me that President


    Graham dotes on her, never fights with her, and personally apologizes for any mistakes. I was so


    envious when I heard


    that.”


    ra rolled his eyes directly. “You believe everything she says? You’re not just pretending to be naive,


    you are


    genuinely naive!”


    After saying that, ra stomped upstairs in her high heels, leaving Zoey trailing behind, muttering to


    herself,


    ‘Did Niki sister deceive me…?”


    Niki rushed and pushed open the door, panting heavily as she chased after the Sunny Restaurant at


    the


    entrance.


    But it was toote. When she reached the road, she only saw the taillights of the car disappearing into


    the


    night.


    “Damn it!” Niki angrily threw her handbag to the ground, causing the contents to scatter all over. Among


    them, something emitting a blue light rolled into the grass.


    Her gaze tightened instantly-it was her blue diamond! It was worth millions, and she had worked so


    hard to


    acquire it!


    Niki quickly turned on the shlight on her phone and crouched down, carefully searching the ground.


    But after searching for a while, she couldn’t find it.


    Already irritated, she became even more agitated. “Damn it! It’s all that shameless woman,


    atalie’s fault!”


    Natalie and Jerry got into the car.


    “Doctor, are you okay?” Jerry fastened his seat-belt and looked at Natalie.


    “I’m fine,” Natalie replied calmly.


    Jerry didn’t say much. After all, this was Natalie’s personal matter, and it wasn’t appropriate for him, an


    outsider, to interfére.


    “Are you and Julian getting a divorce?”


    “Yeah,” Natalie nodded, but after a moment, she shook her head. “It’s not about getting a divorce, we


    are


    already divorced.”


    “Already divorced?” Jerry frowned. Upon hearing this, he felt aplex mix of emotions, somewhat


    contradictory.


    But mostly, he felt relieved.


    “Yeah… The divorce agreement has been signed,” Natalie said, but halfway through her sentence, she


    Get Bogat


    suddenly remembered that Julian hadn’t mentioned it since she handed him the signed divorce


    papers…


    Could it be that he hasn’t signed them yet?


    As Natalie thought about this, her expression changed instantly. What was Julian up to…? He didn’t


    want a


    divorce after all…?


    “Doctor, what’s wrong?” Jerry noticed the sudden change in Natalie’s face.


    “It’s nothing, I just remembered something,” sheposed herself and rolled down the car window as


    she


    spoke.


    Fresh air rushed into the car, and Natalie felt more awake.


    Regardless of whether Julian wanted a divorce or not, she was determined to get one. If Julian


    suddenly


    changed his mind and didn’t want a divorce, she would directly appeal to the court.


    She was absolutely confident of winning.


    Natalie regained her calm demeanor. She raised an eyebrow at Jerry and said, “Let’s continue


    discussing what we were talking about earlier. How can we resolve this matter and retrieve our funds?”
