Chapter 31 Jealousy
Terence had already noticed it when Julia had hugged Eric. Since he was only there to meet a client,
he didn''t expect her to also be there.
The top search regarding him and Jean on Weibo still hadn''t reached his ears. All Terence knew was
that Julia had been shameless enough to hug another man in public even though she just divorced him
a few days ago.
Even if Julia wanted to find a new boyfriend, she could at least be decent about it. There wasn''t any
hurry for her to throw her body around so quickly.
"Excuse me, Mr. Chen?" The client had already been speaking for a long time before he realized that
Terence wasn''t paying attention. Terence didn''t even look at the documents in his hand. As such, a
slight frown painted the client''s face.
"Well, I''ve already read the contract. Just go back and tell your boss to cut the profit by two points.
Then,e to my office tomorrow morning at eight. Bring the contract with you and sign it." Terence
stood up and buttoned his suit. Then, his eyes focused on Julia once again. Slowly, he walked towards
her.
As he approached her, Terence noticed Julia''s bright smile towards Eric. Immediately, he felt unhappy.
''How could she smile like that towards him? She never showed such happiness to me before!''
"Mr. Chen?" Eric was not surprised to see Terence. However, when he thought that Terence had bullied
his beloved, his face immediately turned sour.
At that moment, Julia realized who was standing behind her. However, she did not dare to turn around.
Anxiety became apparent on her face as she quietly sat in her chair.
"I heard that the Fang family finally transferred their business to H City. Congrattions!" Terence had
a callous yet formal expression on his face. "When do you have time, Mr. Fang? Why don''t we have
dinner sometime? And bring your girlfriend with you."
"Okay." Without any hesitation, Eric agreed to the invitation. Then, he pulled Julia and stood up. "By the
way, we haven''t seen each other for a long time. The three of us used to y together a lot when we
were young."
"Yes. I do remember those days." Terence nodded. Then, his face grew colder. "You should know by
now that your partner had been technically my wife for three years."
As she stood in front of Terence, Julia grew very ufortable. Nervousness overwhelmed her as she
had no courage even to raise her head and say hello to him. All she wanted was to leave immediately.
"Sorry I have something to do. Please excuse me. Take your time."
"Wait!" Terence sneered as he reached his hand towards Julia. "Where are you going? Now you are
turning your back on me after you signed the divorce agreement? You found a new boyfriend rather
quickly. You''re quite something."
Terence''s sarcasm infuriated Julia. She raised her head and sneered, "Mr. Chen, are you mocking me?
Mr. Fang and I are childhood friends. I think you know that better than anyone else. We are just having
a meal. How could you say something so indecent?
As the saying goes, people with dirty minds see everyone else as dirty too."
"Watch that sharp tongue of yours." Terence angrily grabbed Julia''s chin. When he was about to do
something worse to her, Eric rushed between the two. Immediately, Eric pulled Julia away and pushed
Terence back.
"Mr. Chen, Julia is not your wife now. She''s currently single. I think I have the right to court her." When
they were still kids, Eric was terrified of Terence. However, the moment he stood in front of Terence to
defend Julia, a strong aura radiated from him.
A cold smile appeared on Eric''s face. Before Terence could even retort, Eric continued, "You had been
bad to Julia in the past three years. With that, she will know that I''m much better than you."
"Well, if you want her so desperately, I don''t mind giving her to you. I don''t like used objects anyway."
Every word from Terence was like a sharp knife that repeatedly stabbed Julia''s heart.
With a distraught expression, she rushed out of the restaurant.
Immediately, Eric followed her outside. When he noticed how pale she was, he asked anxiously, "Julia,
are you okay? Did that bastard upset you?"
"No." Julia shook her head. "I''m just not feeling well. I want to go home early and rest."
"Well, at least let me drive you home." When Eric was about to pull Julia back, her hand halted his
approach. In an agitated tone, she eximed, "Leave me alone! I want to walk by myself so that I can
calm down."
Such hurtful words had already escaped her mouth when Julia realized that she was rude towards Eric.
Immediately, she tried to recover with a warm smile. Then, she softly said, "I''m delighted that you came
back from abroad. How about this? I''ll treat you to dinner another day. But I just want to be alone for
now."
"Okay, I understand." Eric finally nodded his head. In a warm tone, he added, "I know you are in a bad
mood today. Please be careful on your way home. I hope you feel better soon. If I can help you with
anything, please call me."
"Okay. Thank you, Eric." After a slight nod, Julia turned around and walked away decisively.
All she wanted was to leave that ce.
Still disoriented, Julia walked on the sidewalk with no particr destination. Soon, she realized that she
was not far from Consu''s apartment. As such, she decided to go there instead.
All of a sudden, she heard the sound of a car stopping beside her. Before Julia could even react, a
strong man in ck approached her. "Miss Gu, Mr. Chen wants to see you."

Julia''s eyebrows knitted as she recognized the man. He was Terence''s chauffeur.
With agitated eyes, Julia looked at the car. However, she couldn''t see inside since the windows were
darkly-tinted. Nheless, she still felt the cold stare of someone inside the vehicle. She slightly
frowned and said, "Just go back and tell him that we have nothing to talk about anymore. Don''t ever
bother me again!"
After she left such a crude statement, Julia turned around and was about to leave. However, the man
suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed her and pushed her into the car.
