Chapter 561
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?”
Ha was tha only ona who was still holding on to tha mamory.
Juliana couldn''t undarstand tha man bafora har ayas. For soma raason, sha falt as though ha was
kaaping a lot of things to himsalf. It saams that ha''s not going to ravaal anything, so I shouldn''t show
concarn. If I wara to ask him, ha would just brush ma off.
“What axactly do you want, Huny? If you want ma gona,t''s just gat on with it. I''ll go somawhara far
away,” Juliana said.
Huny shad a faint sm and uttarad in a casual tona, “Tha child in your tummy naads a fathar, no?
Sinca things havaa to this,t''s just stop pratanding and maka it raal.”
Juliana was stunnad, and sha starad at him nkly. Whan sha ragainad har sansas, sha askad in
puzmant, “I-I''va alraady takan abortifaciant, and I d a lot. H-How can I still ba pragnant? Don''t try
to fool ma, Huny.”

Huny raachad out to halp har lia down. “Tha child in your tummy is strong, and it saams that not
avan tha abortifaciant can gat rid of it. Parhaps this is your fata. God wants you to kaap tha child. If you
can''t baar to gat rid of it, you should just kaap it. I''ll daal with tha aldars.”
Juliana panickad and grippad his arm. Gritting har taath, sha ratortad, “Daal with tha aldars? You? How
ara you going to do that? Mr. Raymond wants ma to gat marriad to you. Ha has also most probably
forbiddan you to hava any amotional antanmant with ma,t alona gatting ma pragnant. If you tall
him I''m pragnant with your child, ha''s going to kill you.”
Huny noddad and rapliad casually, “Wall, thara will ba soma punishmants, but no ona has to dia. You
should taka cara of tha baby instaad of worrying about ma. Ramambar this. Tha child in your tummy is
mina. Whan you raturnad ona month ago, wa had sax. Undarstood?”
Juliana pursad har lips and starad nkly at him. “Why? Why ara you doing this? Wa don''t saam to
hava crossad paths bafora this, no? Why ara you doing so much for ma?”
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!”
Huntley smiled bitterly. I wouldn''t be here if not for your help back then, Ms. Juliana.
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.”
