Julius quickly grabbed his cell phone and transferred an ounce of money to Ed. Thony, who saw it, immediately pulled Julius' hand away.Thony's eyes widened, incredulous, "Julius, where did you get all this money? One hundred thousand dollars is not a small amount."Julius smiled a little, the man shook his head and removed Thony's hand from his. "My life has changed a lot, Uncle. It's no big deal."And now, the money had changed hands with Ed. The man immediately checked his bank account with a cheeky smile. He didn't care about Thony, who now looked worried for Julius."Julius, you know how you are. It's not company money, right?" Thony confirmed once again. He only knew that Julius was living with the Cullen family. He couldn't have that kind of money, even though Julius was clever and industrious.Julius shook his head again, "It's not company money. You don't need to be afraid." Julius calmed Thony, who was still looking at him worriedly."But the amount is huge. There's no way I
"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
This morning, when Julius finished his breakfast agenda, Jeff came to hand over a report. Jeff's cell phone was handed to Julius, with a page featuring Noel's face and the name of his company as highlights.Julius laughed briefly as he looked at Jeff, who had just reported on the family of Bella, his ex-fiancée, who had dumped him. "So, they're broke?" he asked with a small smile.Jeff nodded, and the man confirmed his Master's words, "Yes, Master. Several companies canceled contracts due to the Noel scandal a while ago. Their image has deteriorated in the eyes of the public."Julius shook his head, didn't care about their situation, and returned the phone to Jeff. He thought it would be better if the Cellen family fell. They would feel the bitterness of being belittled by everyone. They couldn't have fun after dumping Julius in such a humiliating way. But then, a thought occurred to him. He remembered how the Bella family had treated him in the past, and he hadn't even returned the
"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
Noel was naturally shocked by what Julius said at this point. The man seemed to take a step back because he felt shaken. Especially Julius' arrogant face, which made him feel trampled on. In the past, Noell was in power and could make him a puppet.Seeing her father's pale face, Bella became furious. The girl barked at Julius, "You scum! You're the most shameless person in this world! You should have been dragged away and tortured for your shameless behavior!"Julius didn't answer, staring into Bella's eyes, staring at him with hatred. Humiliated, the girl who was once Julius' ward continued her diatribe, "I've handed you over to a loan shark to take responsibility for all your father's debts! You shouldn't be here, damn it!"Hearing the word loan shark, Noel instantly came to his senses. The man hurriedly grabbed his cell phone and pointed it at Julius, threatening him, "Yes, I'll call them all. And tell them that their prisoner escaped! You will die, Julius!"Julius, who was unfazed
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,
The weather was beautiful that afternoon when Julius decided to take a leisurely walk after everything he had done. The sky was clear with few clouds, and the wind was calm. With his material pants and grey shirt rolled up to his elbows, he enjoyed the view of the beautiful city of Pharae after work.The wide, clean streets are lined with shady trees, creating charming green corridors. Elegant and futuristic high-rise buildings radiate the beauty of modernity along the roads. Towers and shopping malls, glittering skyscrapers, with spectacular views, while pretty canals meander through the city, connecting charming cafes on their banks."I didn't know Pharae was this beautiful," he murmured, hisa eyes darting around.Some so many people passed Julius this afternoon. A few young people with coffee cups in hand and cyclists pass by the special lane adjacent to the sidewalk.Julius grunted, remembering the thousand activities he had in the past that he didn't have time for. A cafe with de
"How much are you getting paid?" asked Julius, ignoring the orders of their Boss. Julius' face was so cold it seemed as if it could freeze any person who now looked at him with disdain. Julius had power, which he could use against those who tried to destroy him.The laughter was loud, and the thugs laughed as if what Julius had said was a joke. "What would you do if you knew how much we were paid? You're so poor, you could never imagine it!"They thought Julius was as poor as the man who had told them to kill him. Torturing a weak and unconnected person like this man must be straightforward. Not to mention, they were now in a strategic place. The police would be less likely to find those who had killed Julius.Their laughter echoed in the quiet hallway. Utterly unconcerned about Julius, who looked on with a furrowed brow. Once again, Julius was underestimated. And he smiled wryly as he guessed who was planning this attack on him. Who else could have such foul intentions but that woman
