Armed with the luxury car he had chosen from the VVIP basement, Julius drove out of his luxurious penthouse. The car sped through the crowded streets on a busy morning. It seemed to shine among the other vehicles that filled the streets.It didn't take long before Julius arrived at his destination. A simple eatery is on the side of the road with some small trees. And Julius immediately parked his car quite far away. The man entered and looked around. His eyes found a man sitting at the end, who stood up and waved."Uncle Thony?" greeted Julius kindly. The man sat down in front of the older man he called Thony. They exchanged high-fives, and Uncle Thony immediately offered Julius a drink. The man looked so happy because he had not seen the son of his best friend for so long."Oh my, Julius! How long has it been since we've seen each other?" The slightly chubby man smiled again, revealing the wrinkles on his cheekbones. Some of his hair was already graying, with a thin beard and dull ey

Upon hearing Julius' statement, Thony immediately grabbed Julius and turned him around to face him. With a panicked look, Thony said, "Julius, don't act stupidly! Uncle knows how you live, don't be like this."It was still evident in Thony's mind how Julius endured the insults and abuse he didn't deserve. In fact, the Cellen family rationed his expenses, demonizing him in public. Julius never got justice, he was treated as he pleased.Julius frowned, "Uncle doesn't know how I live. And I don't need your money right now." Julius responded in a low voice, because he respected Uncle Thony.But Thony still refused Julius, even more loudly and firmly. His body was still weak, but he really didn't want Julius to get into trouble of his own making."Why are you so stubborn? Leave, because it's the best choice." But unfortunately, Thony's wish was opposed by Julius.Julius now chuckled, "I'm not leaving, Uncle. You're wrong if you think this is the best option. I'm not a loser who would run a

"It's mine, Uncle." Julius answered Thony's question briefly. He immediately started his car to leave the area where they had eaten earlier."No kidding. Where did you get all this from? You must be lying to uncle," Thony guessed while scratching his temple. The thing was, Thony even knew that Julius wasn't being paid by Noel. Let alone a salary, he wasn't even given enough time off.Julius chuckled, "No Uncle, I'm not joking at all. Why would I lie?"But apparently, Thony still didn't believe that. With a confused look, Thony asked again, "Is this not your wife's car? Are you married to Bella?" That was the only possibility. This was because Bella belonged to a prominent family after her company skyrocketed. Yes, even if it was done by using Julius.Julius shook his head in disbelief if his uncle still thought he was related to the Cullen family. "Of course not. This is totally mine." Julius even managed an amused smile. Thinking about how Thony had no idea what he had been up to lat

"Damn it! What are you doing there?!" snapped Noel angrily. The man glared at Julius, sitting casually in the chair that should have been his.Julius chuckled, "Take it easy, honorable Mr. Noel. You don't want to ruin your image in front of the shareholders," Julius replied casually. The man even folded his legs without caring about Noel's anger.Hearing this, Noel became even more enraged, "You useless man! Stop your nonsense and get out of there! I don't want to see disgusting scum like you polluting my company!"Instantly, the room was filled with buzzing. Some people seemed to be whispering to each other. Of course, this got Julius's attention, who glanced at them with interest."Miss Bella, who is that man? Why does Mr. Noel seem so angry?" Someone wearing a black suit asked Bella, as he happened to be sitting closest to the girl.Bella naturally turned her head and said, "Of course my father is angry. The man sitting in that chair is a bum who wants to destroy my father's hard w

Now, all eyes were on Noel. Judgmental and contemptuous stares were openly directed at him. In fact, a woman who was one of the shareholders whispered to someone beside him, "Mr. Noel embezzled taxes? Crazy! Is he out of his mind?"Noel ran his eyes around the room in panic. He didn't want to be in this position. Because this was all very embarrassing. His hands were clenched in anger, his breathing ragged. He really wanted to punch Julius in the face right now.Noel growled, "Stop this nonsense! This is all a hoax and baseless accusations!" His voice was tight, even with his rapidly beating heart. Noel had hidden this so neatly. It was obviously so shocking that suddenly Julius knew everything.Noel didn't think Julius, whom he considered a fool, would do this to him. That man tarnished the good name he had built over the years in one day. But Noel didn't want everything to come out like this. He had to save himself.So, Noel adjusted his tie, which felt lopsided. He smiled forcibly,
