Refusing To Divorce (Julia and Harry)

Julia wasn't popular at the company due to Jessica's meddling. Now, her attitude toward Cecilia only reinforced the perception of her as sharp-tongued and pretentious.

Julia dialed Donald's number right in front of Cecilia. "You better pick up your precious daughter within half an hour, or who knows what I might do."

Julia never called Donald without a reason, and every call annoyed him. This time was no different. "Cecilia with you?"

"Yes. If you don't want to be completely humiliated, you'll get her out of here as soon as possible. Otherwise, don't blame me for what happens next." Julia didn't wait for a response and hung up immediately. She shot Cecilia a cold look, which made Cecilia feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, too scared to say another word.

Cecilia was somewhat afraid of Julia. She knew that Julia never heeded Donald's words. Especially when it came to matters involving her and her mother, Julia never showed them any kindness. And because Julia was now Harry's wife, Donald didn't dare openly reprimand her for the sake of the Wright family's reputation.

It could be said that the Jackson family was now supported by Julia. If Julia and Harry ever split up, the Jackson family's status in Cromont City would plummet..

Jessica wanted to defend Cecilia, but she remembered Asher's warning and held back. She couldn't stand Julia's behavior and watched her coldly.

Julia sat there nonchalantly. Before Donald could arrive, Cecilia dragged her man away in embarrassment. She had come to show off, but Julia didn't care at all. Instead, Cecilia ended up humiliating herself.

ecilia, furious, was kicking the car at the entrance to vent her anger. The man who adored her couldn't stand seeing her like this and wanted to stand up for her, but Cecilia stopped him. "What are you going to do? If you confront her, she'll just mock you too."

""How can Julia be like this?" he asked.

"She has never liked me. Honestly, I really like her. If she could accept me as her sister, I'd be over the moon." Tears filled Cecilia's eyes.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

"You're so kind, but despite your kindness, Julia is so malicious. I really don't understand why Harry married her. I can't see what's appealing about her beyond her looks. There's nothing else to her."

Cecilia gave a bitter smile. "Maybe it's because of their arranged marriage."

"Julia is the most disgusting woman I've ever met. Harry and Arya had such a great relationship, but Julia ruined it. I've heard Arya is really pitiful now. She could have stayed by Harry's side, but Julia couldn't stand her and forced Harry to send her away," the man added. Cecilia showed no particular emotion and simply said, "That's just how Julia is... If she wants something, no one else can have it. And if she can't have it, she'd rather destroy it."

When Donald arrived, Cecilia was still there. Seeing Cecilia's tear-streaked face broke his heart. He comforted her and said, "Don't go to Julia anymore. I know you want to get closer to her, but Julia is a cold-hearted person. She has no feelings for any of us." sister." It was hard to believe such words came from a father. Cecilia obediently held onto Donald's arm. "Julia just hasn't come to terms with her mother's death yet. I don't blame her. No matter what Julia says or does to me, she's still my Cecilia was so shameless.

In a company, a little gossip spread quickly. Where there were many women, there was bound to be a lot of drama. Even 11:45 Sat, Nov 30

when Julia went to the break room for a moment of rest, she could hear people discussing her attitude toward Cecilia. 14%

Of course, Cecilia was excellent at putting on a good front, making Julia, with her straightforward demeanor, look like the villain in others' eyes.

Julia left the break room after a short while.

After work, she waited with Valerie at the company entrance for Valeric's boyfriend to pick her up. Asher drove by, rolled down his window, and smoothly invited them to dinner. Before Valerie could respond, Julia quickly answered. "We're waiting for Valerie's boyfriend to pick her up, so we can't go with you." Asher's disappointment was evident, but soon he would understand what it truly meant to be heartbroken.

A black Bentley slowly approached them. Asher knew immediately it was Harry's car, and Julia, unlike before, didn't show any signs of disdain or reluctance. She stood still until the car stopped in front of her.

Harry got out and walked straight to Julia's side, casting a glance at Asher. The tension between the two men was palpable, like a firestorm waiting to erupt.

It felt as if Harry's possession was being coveted by another. His cold, fierce eyes met Asher's indifferent gaze, ice clashing with fire. Valerie's eyes were filled with the desire for drama, ready to enjoy the spectacle, but her boyfriend arrived just then, much to her frustration.

Valerie was furious. If only he had been a bit later, she would have witnessed a great show.

Julia, puzzled by the tension she could sense, looked at Harry and asked, "What's going on?"

"Nothing, I just finished my work and came to pick you up," Harry replied.

Julia gave an indifferent nod. "You didn't mention this before."

"I had a client meeting nearby and thought I'd surprise you by picking you up."

Julia's face remained expressionless, but Harry's demeanor didn't suggest a surprise. It felt more like he was asserting his dominance.

'Yes, asserting dominance!' she wondered. Julia finally found the right words to describe Harry's expression and the oppressive aura he exuded, along with the underlying hostility toward Asher.

"As Harry arrived, I'm out of here," Asher said without even glancing at Harry. He revved the engine and sped off like an arrow shot from a bow.

"Did you and Asher have a fight? The vibe between you two seemed off," Julia asked Harry as she got into the car. "Your hostility toward Asher is so obvious. It's hard to ignore."

"Nothing to worry about," Harry replied nonchalantly.

Julia found it hard to believe. "The way you two looked just now seemed far from nothing?"

"Yeah, just a little friction, and it's normal. Don't get involved in matters between Asher and me," Harry said, clearly wanting to change the subject. "Have you ever thought about starting your own studio? It's not convenient for you to keep working at Asher's company, especially since you are my wife."

"What do you mean by that?" Julia asked, puzzled.

"Isn't there someone in your department who likes you? I don't want you continuing to interact with them," Harry said bluntly.

Julia was taken aback, finding it hard to believe Harry would say something like that. "I've already cleared things up with

Otis. He's not bothering me anymore. Why does it matter to you?"

Harry felt a headache coming on. Julia was quite stubborn and seemed determined not to leave Cooper Group.

His plan was likely going to fall through.
