Chapter 72 Carter Finds Someone to Verify the Authenticity of the Video
Just before Carter could approach Julia, Conrad intercepted him by extending his arm in a blocking gesture With a fierce tone and furrowed brows, Conrad bellowed, “Stay away from my sister”
However, Carter’s determination remained unyielding, overridden by his anger. Locking eyes with Conrad, he countered with a shout, “Move aside”
Similar to Carter, Conrad was resolute in safeguarding his cherished sister. He remained steadfast, positioned in front of Julia, serving as her protective shield.
Meanwhile, Julia’s eyes and nose grew moist as she observed her brother’s unwavering stance. This scenario was a familiar one. No matter the circumstances, Conrad was always there, ready to shield her from harm’s way
Feeling overwhelmed. Julia appealed to her brother, saving. “Let me handle this.”
Conrad shifted his gaze towards her, yet stood his ground, responding valiantly, “Don’t be afraid. I’ll protect you No one will hurt you
At that moment Julia’vieves brimmed with tears, and a faint smile graced her lips. A radiant and heartening smile illuminated her face
“You’re so good to me,” she uttered tears betraying her emotions.
In her previous existence the warmth of family had eluded her However, in this current life, the presence of such a caring brother moved her deeply
Witnessing Julia’s tears, Conrad promptly turned to her, offering a comforting pat on her back as he asked, “Julia, why are you crying)*
On the sidelines, Cafter observed Julia’s tearful display. Her eyes were reddened and her nose was slightly runny Unconsciously his brows furrowed in response
Once, Julia used to confide her grievances to him in a soft, gentle manner. Her tears and complaints were a regular part of their interactions. However, now, whenever she faced him, her demeanor was prickly and defensive
Carter lost in his contemplations, couldn’t help but release a sigh. ‘If only Julia hadn’t changed, if things could only return to the way they were…
Later, Julia managed to compose herself, mustering a wry smile as she questioned, “Are you treating me like a child?
Conrad affectionately ruffled Julia’s hair and reassured her, “In my heart, you’ll forever remain my precious little sister, Julia.”
Julia’s heart warmed at the sentiment. She relished this atmosphere and wished for the moment to linger However, her wish was short–lived as Conrad loudly cleared his throat, abruptly interrupting the tender exchange Irritated, Julia directed an unhappy frown at Carter.
“Can’t you sense anything? We were having a sibling conversation. Leave!” Julia’s dissatisfaction manifested in her stern words aimed at Carter.
Once again, a surge of anger coursed through Carter. Observing Julia’s disdainful expression, he mentally pondered, “How did Julia’s mood shift so swiftly? Just moments ago, she was displaying her endearing side, shedding tears before Conrad. Now, she gazes at me with disdain. Could it be that Julia truly dislikes me now?”
This thought prompted Carter’s earlier anger to be swiftly replaced by a sense of emptiness in his

heart, as though something precious had slipped away. After a brief moment, his reverie was broken by Julia’s voice.
“Don’t come here again. The Divine Doctor isn’t at my beck and call. Do you think I can summon her whenever I please? My brother’s recovery was due to his own good fortune. I don’t even know her current whereabouts.” Julia’s voice turned cold.
Carter found Julia’s words reasonable, believing her explanation. If she indeed had a close relationship with the Divine Doctor, seeking her assistance would have been straightforward. Moreover, the fact that the Watson family had expelled them from their home suggested a strained dynamic.
Despite this, Carter remained unwilling to depart empty–handed. Thus, persisting in his pursuit, he asked, “Are you certain you have no means of contacting the Divine Doctor? No clues. whatsoever?”
Despite hearing Carter’s question, Julia seemed to ignore it and turned her attention to her brother, asking, “What would you like to eat? I’ll cook tonight.”
Recognizing the futility of his efforts, Carter decided to give up. He understood that trying to engage Julia further would likely be in vain. With a sense of frustration, he turned and began to walk away. However, his diminishing hope was suddenly rekindled when he heard Julia utter, “Wait.”
Julia’s call caused Carter’s heart to lift, and a spark of optimism ignited within him.
Did she just stop me from leaving? Could her earlier cold attitude have been a tactic to draw me in?’ Carter wondered, hopefully.
As this thought crossed Carter’s mind, Julia’s voice, once again cold and indifferent, pierced the air, shattering his fleeting hope “Take your card back. We’re not interested.”
Carter’s anger flared anew. Clenching his teeth, he directed a piercing glare at Julia. “Julia, let me remind you that everything has its limits.”
Even in the most intricate game of strategy, there must be boundaries. Once those boundaries. were breached, it was akin to releasing a tightly coiled spring–the retreat was challenging. Having driven Carter out of their residence several times, Julia’s patience had run thin. With a forcetul exclamation, she proclaimed, “What a nuisance! Leave! This isn’t your territory. If you don’t depart, I’ll have the security guards escort you out of the residential area!”
Carter’s face flushed crimson with anger. Eventually, he turned and began walking towards the door, but at a slow pace. He was waiting for Julia to beg him to stay. After all, he believed their current status in this environment must be taxing for her and her brother. Adjusting to such a situation couldn’t be easy. Carter held firm to the belief that Julia’s earlier coldness was a façade, and once he actually left, she would reveal her underlying concern.
Carter really held onto this belief of him until he neared the doorway. Only then did he come to the realization that Julia had not made any move to stop his departure.
In response, Carter came to a sudden halt and turned to face Julia, finding her gaze fixed on him. ‘Finally, it’s happening, right?‘ Carter thought with a triumphant sensation coursing through him. However, his sense of triumph was swiftly crushed when Julia forcefully pushed him out the door. With a resounding bang, the door slammed shut in front of his face, leaving only a minuscule gap of half a centimeter between his nose and the door.
Carter’s rage was now at a boiling point. Just as he was about to erupt, the door unexpectedly

swung open from the inside.
‘Regretting now? Humph! It’s too late. I’ve said it before–everything has its limits. I’m too angry to forgive you, even if you beg” Carter’s thoughts swirled with a sense of pride.
To his surprise. Julia handed him a flash drive directly.
“This is the flash drive from the video last time. I made a copy. You can have it verified by whoever you want,” Julia said before promptly closing the door once more.
Holding the flash drive, Carter reentered the villa with a solemn demeanor. After much contemplation, he resolved to have Benedict Snyder verify its contents.
Half an hour later, Benedict arrived, carrying a tightly sealed envelope.
“Sir, here’s the verification result for the video,” he announced upon pushing open the door.
Vivien, who had just entered the room, widened her eyes in astonishment as she heard what Benedict had said and noticed the envelope in Carter’s hand.
‘Verification result for the video? It must be about the video played at the wedding! Vivien surmised inwardly, her anger simmering.
Julia‘ You’re so heartless! You’ve already caused me so much suffering, and you still won’t let me go” Her thoughts seethed.
Carter had already opened the sealed envelope and was about to take out the verification result.
