Chapter 5: Encountering
‘This woman is too liberated!‘ Jared angrily thought. It wouldn’t matter if it was only two of them here, but his younger brother was also here!
Julia looked at Jared and tilted her head. She had a good figure, so he should feel lucky. Now, he was looking at her as if he would have an eye problem if he stared at her body for so long.
“Fine. I think you believe me now. I’ll go back to my room.
room.” She hugged the suit in her body and walked towards the staircase. Her slender and firm legs were displayed in front of them.
Julia couldn’t help but think as she walked. She kept on thinking about the two brothers and how to complete her task.
Also, she couldn’t be blamed for this. The mansion was huge and covered an area about the same as the palace of a certain country she had been to before.
Finding something like that in such a huge place was like finding a needle in a haystack.
Not to mention that she just arrived here. She couldn’t move around freely yet. Otherwise, people would start suspecting her. Right now, it was better to keep a low profile.
Julia slept in her room peacefully. As soon as she woke up the next morning, a maid entered her room with a few sets of clothes.
“Good morning, Miss. These are the clothes that Mr. Brooks ordered for you.”
“Oh. You prepared them for me?” Julia asked in surprise. ‘Maybe he doesn’t want me to wear his clothes anymore? That’s the reason why he asked his people to shop for clothes for me.’
‘He’s such a neat freak,‘ she inwardly shook her head.
Right after Julia showered and got dressed, she went out of her room and immediately heard the maid who had just brought her clothes talking to another maid.
“It’s her! She’s shameless. She wants to seduce Mr. Jared for sure!”
“She’s just another bitch with a pretty face.”
“I bet you a hundred bucks, that face is fake.”
“You think so? I really doubt that’s natural.”
Julia inwardly rolled her eyes, letting their words enter her ear and out to the other. She calmly walked downstairs and walked straight past the gossiping maids.
The latter watched Julia in disbelief. Annoyed that they were ignored, they went to her.
“You want some advice? Leave right now. If Miss Cameron finds out that you‘ re married to Mr. Brooks, you‘ ll days will be numbered, Miss.”
Julia stopped in her tracks and turned to them.
“Really? Then, let’s wait until she comes home.”
The maids looked at Julia with their jaws dropped. She smiled at them and continued walking.
“Lilibeth, you still have Ms. Cameron‘ s contact number, right? Let’s tell her about that witch.
“Okay! Let’s get my phone.
It didn’t take long for Julia to notice that someone was following her when she went out of the mansion.
She hid in the alley as quickly as she could and stared at the street. Soon after, Shiloh appeared in a wheelchair.
He had been following her all this time. He must have suspected that Julia had ulterior motives toward his younger brother, and he was keen to prove he was right.
‘Tracking me, huh? If I rank second when it comes to counter–tracking within the alliance, no one would dare to rank first.‘
She let him take his time finding her. Then, she would leave first.
On the other hand, Shiloh‘ s eyes scanned the area and cursed to himself.
“Dammit. Where is she? She was just here. Where did she go?”
Ten minutes later, Julia arrived at the largest shopping center in the city: Montreal City.
The people who came here were the rich ones. It was a high–end shopping mall filled with luxury boutiques that ordinary people couldn’t afford.
Julia suddenly remembered the brand named Lanco owned by the Wolf Five family, who lived here in Vienna City.
When she arrived on the third floor, Julia looked up and saw the huge sign. The store almost occupied the entire floor, making the other outlets look small compared to it.
Without a doubt, the store was owned and managed by the Wolf Five. It screamed luxury and elegance.
Julia went inside the elevator and sighed. She glanced at the two young women who were standing in front of her, chatting animatedly.
“Naomi, you didn’t go to meet the guy from the Brooks family yesterday, right? So, you didn’t get married?”
Upon hearing this, Julia immediately looked at them carefully.
The girl in the yellow dress rolled her eyes and replied, “Of course. I won’t get married to an ugly man. What am I? Crazy?”
“So, he didn’t find you or chase after you? He’s from the Brooks family.”
“So what?” Naomi grimaced. “At that time, our grandfathers were comrades in arms and had gone through life and death together before building their own families. My grandfather was so keen to marry me to that family, and he didn’t even consider what I want! If Jared Brooks was a fine man, I’d gladly marry him. Their family is rich as heck, after all. But no one in our circle even knew what he looked like! They said he’s bald. I doubt I’d be able to eat anything If I see that kind of face every day.”
