Chapter 361
Julian’s eyes narrowed at McKenzie’s offer. Could she truly get Julian what he wanted?
Was that substance…an aphrodisiac?
As though she could tell what Julian had in his mind, McKenzie explained, “This isn’t just any ordinary aphrodisiac – I worked on this pill for ten years. She doesn’t have to ingest it, for as long as her skin touches the pill, you’d be able to do all you want to her.”
Julian looked at McKenzie, impressed and in awe.
What a genius entrepreneur! She actually came up with this!
Still…
“Why would you help me?”
“You don’t have to know. Anthony would go to the Bailey mansion in ten days, and that’ll be your only chance.”
McKenzie stood up and walked out of the office in her crystal heels sophisticatedly.
Julian’s eyes were fixed on the pill bottle, caught up in his thoughts.
In ten days?
Outside the office door, Tiffany hid behind a plant to stay hidden. When she made sure McKenzie did not spot her, she sighed in relief before signaling to Oliver right next to her.“ You, go in and talk to Julian.”
“Yes, Madam.” Oliver understood her and walked into the office.
He saw the pill bottle in Julian’s hand and frowned. “Mr. Cabell, what’s—”
“Cancel all my schedule in ten days,” Julian instructed.
Oliver seemed even more worried at that. “So Mr. Cabell has decided to be with Ms. Charmine? What about Tiffany? If Ms. Tiffany finds out, she might be upset…”
“No, she’s very understanding. She’d know what’s right,” said Julian calmly.
Tiffany, still outside Julian’s office, clenched her fists tightly. Would she have to be his secret lover forever and watched as he chased another woman, all because she was ‘understanding’?
Even Oliver pitied Tiffany; an impressive woman like Tiffany did not deserve to be treated like that.
Oliver built up his courage and asked, “What… What’s next? Even if you eventually get a hold
of Ms. Charmine, she may not fall for your plan so easily seeing who she is right now, and it might be difficult to divorce her later on. Taking her assets won’t be as easy…”
Julian’s eyes narrowed. Divorce?
He did not know why, but that word just made him uncomfortable somehow.
Charmine was so powerful and capable, with so much wealth and resources. Why divorce her?
“Oliver, you speak too much today.”
“I’m sorry.” Oliver lowered his head as he turned to leave, but just as he took a few steps, the question spilled from his lips before he could think, “If Mr. Cabell is not divorcing Ms. Charmine, what would Ms. Tiffany do for the rest of her life?”
The anxious Tiffany clenched her fists as she waited for his answer.
They had been together for so many years. He would probably care for her, right?
Which was why it came as a surprise that, after a moment of silence, Julian replied, “I’ll make sure she has enough money.”
‘Enough money…
Ha-ha-ha! ‘Enough money?
That basically meant he would not marry her!
Tiffany felt her heart shattered into pieces as tears rolled down her cheeks incessantly. She had planned things with Julian for so many years as she supported him wholeheartedly, helping him to be Mile-End Corporation’s president, and what did she get in return? ‘Enough money? 1
Julian used to tell her he would love her forever, and that changed to ‘he won’t disappoint her ‘, and it then changed to ‘enough money’.
Ha-ha-ha…!
Oliver asked nothing else as he left the office and shut the door behind him.
The gut-punched Tiffany’s waterworks did not stop as she hid behind the plant.
Heart tugged at the sight, Oliver instinctively reached out to help her wipe off her tears, but Tiffany took a step back and recomposed herself. “Oliver, please behave.” 2 Defensive like a hedgehog, she spoke pitilessly and unsparingly.
