Chapter 307
Wade froze for a couple of seconds, totally stunned. ‘Come on, all this just for that? She could’ve just said something. Why’d she have to beat me up?
‘We’re family, after all. Even if she didn’t offer me money, if she just asked, I would’ve thought about changing my mind.”
He whimpered, tears streaming down his now puffy, swollen face
Man, this girl doesn’t just hit hard; she’s scary accurate, too, he thought
“Call her, now. Winifred snapped.
“Y–yes, right away. Wade immediately called Rowena and told her he’d just been talking nonsense earlier, and that she could keep her role as the third female lead.
Winifred tossed him a card. There’s 30 million dollars in there. If I find out anyone’s messing with her behind my back, you better watch your neck
With that, she turned and walked away
Wade picked up the card from the floor, still sniffling and feeling wronged. ‘She is way too rough, he whimpered to himself. 30 million dollars? Maybe being rough isn’t so bad after all”
If Rowena beat him up again and tossed him another 30 million dollars, he’d agree with anything.
Rowena hung up the phone, her heart was on a rollercoaster. “Winifred has come through for me again, she thought, her heart pounding with gratitude and disbelief.
Meanwhile, upstairs, Sienna and julian were sitting across from each other.
Julian glanced at the spot where Thorn had just been kicked out and said, sounding worried, “Am I not supposed to be here? Did I mess things up between you two? 1—”
Sienna waved it off. “Our relationship was already broken. There’s nothing left to mess up. Julian, don’t worry about him.”
She thought, “What else is there to say to Thom? Honestly, not killing him was already me being merciful.
Julian’s heart was overflowing with excitement and suspicion, the feelings running wild in his chest. The questions he wanted to ask were right on the tip of his tongue.
Just as Sienna was about to tell him about the building, her phone rang urgently. It was Vivian. She answered and stood up.
“Sorry, I have to go. Waithere for me, okay? I need to talk to you about something,” she said.
“Sure, I’ll be right here,” Julian replied.
“Well, I didn’t expect to see you here, Julian,” a familiar voice called out Levi heard it and, for a second, thought he must see it wrongly.
Julian never liked coming to these noisy, crowded places.
Julian’s face immediately clarkened, all that good mood and anticipation just went out the window. He ignored Levi completely.
Levi stood right in front of Julian, grinning like he’d just hit the jackpot. “Turns out I’m Dad’s real son, Julian. Bet you’re disappointed. buh
“Now there’s one more person fighting you for the Ford family inheritance, Isn’t that just great?”
Julian didn’t even bother to look at him. He just glanced down at the crowd below, his tone flat and dismissive. The Ford family’s so- alled fortune! Only useless people like you would obsess over that crap all day.
“You’re just scared someone else will snatch up even a bit of that mess before you can get your hands on it,”
Levis fare twlted with anger as he glared at Julian, totally rattled by how calm and unfared he was.

Levi snapped, “Julian, what are you even pretending for? Didn’t you come back this time for the Ford family inheritance too? Stop acting like you’re so above it all.”
וי
Then, as if something just occurred to him, Levi smirked and lowered his voice. “Hey, Julian, bet you didn’t know. I already sold that building in Tiashine Bay at a high price.“”
Julian froze, shooting him a fierce glare. “What did you say?”
Levi shoved his hands in his pockets, flicked his hair back, and flashed a cocky, triumphant grin. “Sold it. At a high price–130 million dollarss. I never thought that building would be worth so much.”
