Chapter 44
Alex was targeting the lakes for me sake? Just thinking about that filled me with a sense of absurdity.
“That’s exacthe what’s happening, Serena” Julian leaned forward abruptly, trying to reach out and grab my hand, but I avoided it.
“ty Eather has already looked into it. He’s confimed that Alex is targeting the lakes. Other than you, I can’t think of any other reason why he’d do that. Serena, I have no other options. Please help me. I’m begging you,” Julian said with desperation.
Tobserved the pitiful state he was in at that moment.
Back when he toyed with me, he had acted so high and mighty. Now that I wanted nothing to do with him, he had changed completely. He looked so pitiful now.
Twas incredibly disgusting, both mentally and physically.
why would Alex target the Blakes for my sake?” I looked at Julian,
case you’re the Hastings heiress,” Julian replied, looking as it he was puzzled that I would even ask the question.
1 let out a laugh. “Alex is going out of his way to attack the Blakes for my sake? I’m just his step sister with no blood relation to him. In fact, we hate each other.”
“Please believe me Serena, 1–L.” Julian said earnestly.
Hearing Julian stammer like that just made me annoyed. I got up and prepared to leave
“Wait!” Julian grabbed warm and said. “That day at the gala, Alex came to me privately and told me not to bother you anymore. Didn’t he also wam me when I was talking to you?
I thought back to it. Alex had definitely warned Julian, but claiming that Alex was targeting the Blakes for my sake was too much of a stretch
Ttrowned and looked at. “Isn’t it possible that Alex is doing all of this because you offended him? Alex was the biggest figure at the gala, I was his companion, but you made all those inappropriate comments.”
“L” Julien seemed to be at a loss for words.
serena, I now that I was wrong now. My father scolded me when I got back. I’m begging you, could you please help me talk to Alex?” Julian pleaded
1 picked up my bag in a huff. “Julian, your problems are none of my business. Allex won’t listen to me either. You’re the one who offended him, but you’re trying to blame it on me
As I prepared to leave, Julian grabbed my hand again. “Serena, we were together for so many years. Are you really going to be so cold to me? Who knows? Maybe we’ll be family one
I glared at Julian “Stop right there! You and are already done. We’ve gone our separate ways. There’s no way we’ll ever be family.”
“Is there really no chance for us anymore? Jullan said tearfully,
“There on 1. Take care of yourself,” I said.
I was just about to leave again when Julian suddenly grabbed a knife on the table and shouted, “You won’t reconcile with me, and even my family hates me now. If that’s the case, what’s the point of ring anymore?”
Hesliced his wrist with the kite before I could even react. Blood started to pour out,
After packing for a moment, frowned slightly. “Juan, you’ve really gone crazy”
I quickly called the emergency number. The restaurant stall quickly rushed over as well, but they didn’t dare to step forward when they say that the blood wasn’t stopping.
1 gut a towel from a water before I went over and lifted Julian’s arm
Julan’s face was turning pale trom the blood lose.
“Senetu, I knew you still cared about me if you didn’t, why would you be bandaging me right now?” Julian’s smile was unsettling
- Bele era angematard, but i chose to stay silent.
Jiber’s Lelianate was too extreme and unpredictable. I didn’t know what other crazy stunt he would pull it i provoked him. For now, I had to keep him stable until the ambulance
I wasted for about termed to be one of fainting when the antolator finally arrived,
