Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 1423

He would only ever show his gentle side to Vera.

Yulia fell silent. She bit her lower lip with hatred, teary-eyed.

"Leave her alone. Don't ruin the relationship between our families. If anything happens to her, I'm sure you're well aware of the consequences." After finishing all he wanted to say, Quill was ready to leave.

Yulia stopped him and asked with hatred, "Did she accuse me of hurting her? Then did she tell you it was the server who locked her in the washroom, and I was the one who saved her?! It was me! I saved her!"

"So do you think the server would lock her in the washroom for no reason? Yulia, don't treat others like fools. Also, Vivy isn't one to accuse. She's not who you think she is."

This time, Quill left without hesitation.

Yulia stayed in the reception room, still thinking about what Quill had said.

Vera didn't say anything to him? Then, how would he know; and even come to her?

Originally, Yulia was touched when Vera said she was envious of her, and her attitude toward her had also become gentle. But now?

"See what I mean?"

A familiar figure entered. Yulia raised her head and saw Jasper leaning against the door, looking at her.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

"He trusts his woman without a shadow of a doubt; your explanation means nothing to him. Do you regret it now? If you hadn't saved her yesterday, Quill wouldn't be saying all that to you now."

"Jasper?"

Seeing that he had suddenly appeared in addition to his words, Yulia had a hunch that he had eavesdropped on their conversation.

Upset, she yelled, "Why do you keep following me? I already told you I don't need your help. Doesn't matter how down and out I am, if no other man wants me, I will not be with a lowlife like you!"

Lowlife?

Hearing that, Jasper grew upset and charged at her, clasping her wrist.

"Who are you calling a lowlife? Do you not see the changes I've made for your sake? If you're even willing to take a look at me, you'll know the old Jasper was long gone. If you're willing to give up Quill and follow me abroad, then I can be your knight in shining armor forever. Yulia, that man doesn't have any feelings for you at all, so why stay? You are the daughter of the Maxwell family; you're good at everything, yet you choose to suffer for that man and let him trample over your dignity. Do you think your parents will be happy to see you like this?"

"Let go of me!" Yulia struggled to break her hand free. "Who are you to interfere with my decisions? Stop following me, and I don't need you to do anything for me. Give up, Jasper. I will never love you."

After that, Yulia left mercilessly.

Jasper was left alone in the reception room. Probably because he was called a lowlife, he slammed his fist on the door in anger. Bang!

Jasper left the reception room with a bloody fist.

Yulia sat in her office and zoned out as she looked at the blue sky outside the window. Quill's words were like daggers stabbing into her heart, and it was still bloody.

Her chest quivered; touching it, her tears streamed down like beads of a broken string.

Had she done wrong?

Or perhaps Jasper was right. If she had been...

No, how could she think like that? Yulia shook her head hard and bit her lower lip. She was the daughter of the Maxwell family. Even if it was no longer in its former glory, even if she was the only one left, she still carried the name.

As long as she was the daughter of the Maxwell family, she could not do anything this sadistic.

She had to calm down.

Yulia looked around before finally picking up a glass of water by her side and drank it. Perhaps because her emotions were bottled up, the hand that was holding the cup was shaking.

After a long time, Yulia finally managed to calm herself down and took a deep breath. Then she slumped into her chair and closed her eyes.

The wedding was drawing close, and since the washroom incident, Vera never left the house. Probably due to her pregnancy, she was suffering from serious persecutory delusional disorder, so she was afraid of bumping into Yulia at a timè like this. After all, a woman could be really terrifying if she went crazy.

Because of that, Mabie even ranted at Vera. "Look at how lazy you are. You're just getting married. Is it necessary for you to stay at home everyday? People who don't know might think you're doing postpartum confinement."

Mabie still did not know about Vera's pregnancy, but she had hit the nail on the head. On the other side of the

phone, Vera refuted, "Mom, what are you talking about? I have just been feeling worn out lately, so I got a little lazy. Besides, I'm getting married; am I not allowed to rest for a few days? It wouldn't be a big deal even if I go back to the restaurant after the wedding."

"Are you listening to yourself? You're the one who told your dad to quit his job, and we can enjoy retirement early when you first planned to open your pasta restaurant. But now? There's still some time before the wedding, yet you're already slacking off."

"Mom, don't put it like that. I'm just taking a break. I will go back to work after the wedding."

Mabie wasn't blaming her for resting. After all, who wouldn't want to look their best during their wedding? She just couldn't help roasting her daughter. However, Mabie kept having the feeling that it wasn't as simple as Vera said. "You said you've been feeling exhausted lately?"

Hearing that, Vera's heart skipped a beat. "Shoot, could it be that Mom suspects something?" she thought.

"Yeah, I think it's because I had a lot on my plate lately. Or maybe it's because it's winter, so I want to hibernate."

"What bullsh*t are you talking about? You were never like this. Tell me the truth, are you pregnant?"

"Of course not!"

Vera denied quickly, "How can I be pregnant? I'm not married yet. Don't talk nonsense."

"Listen to your denials, Vivy. You're a classic horrible liar."

Vera had a feeling that she might accidentally let in more than she wanted, so she quickly said, "Mom, I still have errands to run. I'm hanging up. I'll visit you at the restaurant another day."

She put her phone away as she scolded.
