Chapter 90
In the end, Julie reached the end of her patience a and broke the silence first
“What exactly do you want, Zam?
Zayn looked quietheather
She was showing unconcealed irritation and disinterest. Such emotions had never before appeared on her face.
In the very least, Zayn had often felt that Julie loved him deeply, and that was why he had behaved so brazenly.
However, now the cat was out of the bag
She had stayed by his side not for the sake of money, but simply because she considered him as a substitute.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
He gritted his teeth. “Be trank with me
For a moment, Julie’s brain tailed to keep up and she stared blankly at han “What?”
“Have you been treating me as Julian’s substitute for all these years?
Julie paused, lowering het gaze.
Seeing that she was not speaking up, Zayn reached out to grab her shoulder and shouted with reddened eyes, “Well? Tell me! 1 want you to be fucking straight with Julie remained calm even in the face of his angry shouting.
Shelted her gave and said, “In the beginning all I wanted was to watch you quietly, Zaym.
As soon as those words left her mouth, Zayn instantly understood what she was getting at
Indeed, three years ago, Julie had only watched him furtively from afar. She had simply watched him without attempting to talk to him.
When had he noticed her behavior?
It was likely when he and Zachary had agreed to meet up to play basketball Julie had once again appeared in the stadium’s audience stand
Zachary had teased him then, telling him that there was a junior with a crush on him who was stalking him every day. He had even pointed her out to Zayn.
That was the firsttime he laid eyes on Julie
She had given him the impression that she was small in size but well–behaved at a glance, she looked to be an easy target for bullying.
He did indeed end up buy her later on.
“Did you really feel nothing at all over the past three years?” Zayn asked in a strained voice,
Julie shook her head. “I don’t wish to lie to you, Zayn. You’re right. I stayed by your side because your mother gave me money, and you also know the other reason why I followed you.”
“So, you really regarded me as a substitute for Lucian? How dare you, Julie? Zayn asked in disbelier, his eyes filled with anger and disappointment.
Jube remained silent she lowered her head, not daring to meet his gaze.
Zayn persisted, unwilling to drop the issue, “Say something! Did you really regard me as a substitute?”
Julie inhaled deeply before slowly lifting her gaze and saying calmly, “Don’t you already know the answer to that?
Zayn sneered, then took a step back. A hint of disappointment flashed through his eyes.
“No wonder you were so decisive this time,” he said, almost as if he was talking to himself, “It turns out that you were so resolute this time because you knew that Lucian was back, huh?
julie opened her mouth, wanting to explain that none of this had anything to do with Lucian
However, she swallowed back what she was going to say in the end.
Perhaps it was better to let Zayn assume that Perhaps this was the only way to make him thoroughly give up on her.
Zayn felt as if there was a knife stabbed into his heart at the sight of Julie’s cold expression
He had once thought that Julie liked him a little. After all, there were many people richer than him in this world.
For her to stay by his side for the sake of money, she definitely had to have at least some feelings for him. Therefore, she had not left him throughout all these years no matter how much he had bullied, tortured, and ridiculed her.
But in the end, he finally realized that he was the one who had been a complete and utter tool
He had been toyed with for so many years.
