Chapter 293
Julian understood Layla’s dilemma between the two branches of the family and knew that Roseanne would use the “grievances” of the eldest branch to make Layla feel guilty.
He looked at Layla, and after a long pause, said, “Since it’s you asking, I’ll agree to help.”
When Roseanne heard Julian agree, she felt a surge of joy, and her eyes lit up as she looked at him. “Julian…
Roseanne didn’t hide the happiness on her face, but Julian didn’t look at her. Instead, he continued to speak to Layla, “But Mrs. Palmer, I’m agreeing to this request because of the bond between us, but… this will be the only time!”
He emphasized. “I don’t want anyone using our relationship to pressure you in the future.
Julian made it clear, not leaving any face for Roseanne. He was directly telling her that, from now on, she couldn’t use Layla to pressure him, even if
she tried.
Roseanne hadn’t expected that, even in front of her grandmother, Julian would embarrass her like this, making her uncomfortable right there.
It was as if he was plainly telling her that he knew it was her who had forced her grandmother to make the request, and he wasn’t happy about it.
His next words were an unspoken warning.
Roseanne looked at Julian with a hurt expression, as if accusing him of her a single glance.

After leaving the Galloway Group building, Layla sat in the car and sighed as she looked at her granddaughter, who was sitting next to her, with a gloomy expression.
Layla said, “You saw it, didn’t you? No matter what you do, if Julian doesn’t want you, he won’t take you in. Your actions will only make him dislike you more.”
Roseanne didn’t care; hearing Layla’s words, she just sneered and said, “Like Grandpa, Grandma never thought highly of my dad, and now you don’t think much of me either. You probably think I’m not good enough for Julian.”
Layla had heard these kinds of words before, but they still made her angry. “Is it me who thinks that, or are you just fooling yourself into thinking you can still win Julian’s heart?”
Roseanne’s face darkened when Layla hit the nail on the head.
“Your whole family thinks I favor your second uncle and gave the Palmer Group to him. But tell me honestly, does your dad have the ability to support the group?”
Layla’s expression turned serious. “Back then, you couldn’t win Julian’s heart. It was just that Julian wasn’t interested in romance, and you happened

Layla directly tore away the false confidence Roseanne had built. “I still don’t understand what made you think you could go to Julian and ask him to help your father take over the position?”
Roseanne’s face changed drastically. She thought only she and Julian knew about this, and based on her understanding of him, Julian wouldn’t talk about it with Nick or Layla
She wondered, “How did Grandma know about this?
Layla continued, “Back then, you thought you could manipulate Julian and left angrily. Now why do you think he’ll just wait for you to come back!
“Today, I humbled myself to go to Julian and ask for this favor because you’re my granddaughter. But now I’ve used up all the goodwill between Julian and me. From now on, I won’t help you with anything else.”
