‘Damn, I hate this.‘
Vivien felt like a clown, utterly ignored by Carter. She assumed that Julia was responsible for all that had happened! With that in her mind, Vivien glared at Julia with eyes nearly aflame.
On the other hand, Carter moved towards the piano, step by step, and gazed down at Julia.
The young woman possessed picturesque eyebrows, a petite nose, rosy lips, and radiant fair skin. As her fingers gracefully caressed the piano strings, they resembled delicate onion roots. Her nails bore no trace of polish, yet they emitted a natural, soft pink sheen.
Suddenly, the piano‘ s music came to an abrupt halt.
Julia raised her gaze to meet Carter‘ s with a puzzled expression.
‘What was the reason for his intense scrutiny? Did he believe she was playing hard to get once again?‘
Julia stood up, maintained an expressionless demeanor, and uttered, “Don’t overthink it. I played an extra piece out of curiosity, but I did not intend to seduce you. Alright, I’ve played the piano; now, I must be on my way.”
Upon finishing her words, Julia glanced at Carter, turned on her heel, and walked past him. A strand of her emerald hair brushed against the tip of Carter‘ s nose. It emitted a subtle fragrance, distinct from the various perfumes adorning Vivien. That was her natural scent.
She even had her own unique scent. After all these years together, he never knew!
Julia’s casually drifting hair momentarily captivated Carter’s attention, causing him to instinctively reach out, attempting to stop her from leaving.
Just as his hand was about to touch Julia, another arm swiftly encircled her waist and pulled her
close.
The development unfolded so unexpectedly that neither of them could have foreseen it.
Julia stumbled forward and found herself nestled against the man‘ s muscular, broad chest.
After being momentarily stunned, Julia had just regained her composure when she heard the man’s deep voice above her head.
“Taking this long to get upstairs?”
Hearing his words, Julia scratched her neck, a hint of embarrassment on her face.
Carter kept his outstretched hand suspended awkwardly in the air.
“Don’t blame me. Some people are just so stubborn they keep asking me to hit them. I’m just too kind to say no,” Julia replied with a mischievous and adorable tone, which sounded charming to Jared’s ears.
But to Vivien and Candace, it felt like a harsh slap in the face, raw and painful.
“Let’s head upstairs,” Jared suggested.
“Sure.”
Jared extended his bent arm to Julia, and she understood, taking his arm willingly. They ascended the stairs side by side, and the security guard at the door made no attempt to stop them, allowing Julia and Jared to proceed.
That sight left everyone shocked. Just moments ago, they had openly ridiculed Julia, but now, she

was entering the Brooks Wealth annual meeting venue right before their eyes.
“Brother, what… What’s happening?” Candace stammered.
“How did Julia get into the Brooks Wealth annual meeting? Is that really the Brooks Wealth event? Could it be– she works for the Brooks Wealth clan?” Carter furrowed his brow and had a sudden realization. If this man’s last name was Brooks and they were allowed to attend the event, perhaps he was not just a commoner. Could he actually be a member of the Brooks family?
“Carter, do you think that man is a part of the Brooks family?” Vivien approached and speculated.
