Chapter 11.2: Embarrassment
Jared’s thin lips tightened tightly, his face carried nothing but coldness, and his whole body seemed covered in an eternal layer of ice and frost.
“Drag him down, lock him up, and interrogate him severely daily.”
“Understood,” the men in black answered.
As soon as Jared finished giving orders, he saw Julia strolling in.
“Did you see it all?” His fingers closed, and his thin lips pressed into an ice line without curvature.
“Hmm,” Julia hummed, and her gaze followed the taxi driver, who had been dragged away.
She had the means to force Zeth to tell the truth. Hypnosis was her forte, but if she did that, it would arouse suspicion from Jared.
“Do you think I’m cruel? Is it scary?” Jared kept observing Julia’s reaction. However, she was staring at Zeth. For the man, it was just common sense that the woman would be scared of what she witnessed
Although she always appeared fearless before him, it did not change the fact that she was reckless around him because she thought of him as a polite upper–class person. And just now, she saw his cruelty and bloodthirstyness. How could a girl from an ordinary wealthy family not be frightened?
After everything, it was already possible that the woman would avoid him like a plague. It would come to a time when she would go to the Civil Affairs Association and would ask for a divorce.
His mind was full of those negative thoughts, but Julia just picked up an orange from the table and peeled it off. She sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, her face relaxed and comfortable.
“Cruel? Is that what you called cruel? That person has hurt your family. If someone hurts my loved ones, I would be even crueler.”
When Julia uttered those things, she thought of Conrad and inexplicably felt empathy for Jared.
At the same time, upon hearing her thoughts, Jared eyed the woman with a glint of shine in his eyes. He did not expect Julia to say those things.
“Are you not scared of me?”
“Ah? “Julia froze for a moment and said, “Scared? Why should I be scared of you? I didn’t hurt your family,” she said like it was common sense.
That was when Jared’s thin lips slightly curved, and the fundus of his eyes became. more radiant when looking at the woman.
“This orange is quite delicious,” Julia said while carrying it into her pocket.
“Take them all up,” said Jared.
“Aren’t you going to eat those?”
“Just take everything,” he nudged her.
The woman shrugged her shoulders and carried the bowl full of oranges. “Oh, then I’ll take this.”
As she walked, Jared kept watching Julia entering the room before glancing at his butler. He ordered, “Prepare more oranges of this variety.”
“Yes, sir.”
When they finished having dinner in the evening, Jared came to Julia’s room and knocked several times. Still, there was no response from the inside.
‘Is she out?‘ He wondered.
His eyebrows furrowed, and he was about to leave, not until he noticed the door was locked. He carefully listened and heard a song from inside.
Jared raised his hand and knocked on the door again, but there was no response.
After a brief silence, he decided to push open the door and walked in. The moment he stepped inside, he carefully observed the place. No one was in the room, and the singing came from the bathroom.
‘She’s taking a shower?”
Then he could wait for a moment.
Jared placed the handbag on the bed, which contained the evening dress he had prepared for her. They would attend the Scott Family birthday banquet on the weekend, so she needed a decent evening dress.
Julia sang as she wiped the water off her body. After drying it, she found she had forgotten to take her pajamas. In the end, she could only go out wrapped in a towel. Unexpectedly, the towel fell to the ground and got wet. Julia tossed the damp bath towel aside in disdain, as this was her room, and it was okay to go out naked.
With that in mind, Julia slipped out of the bathroom and walked out.
The next second, upon seeing Jared sitting on the bed, Julia was dumbfounded!
