Chapter 91
When Zayn saw that Julie was staying silent, he knew that she was tacitly acknowledging his words as true.
Itis hand shot out to grab her wrist tighth, and he forcefully dragged her closer to him. He stared fixedly at her, his expression so stormy that he looked as if he could actually
summon a thunderstorm.
“Is Lucian aware of how much you flattered and fawned over me all these years he asked.
Athose words, Julie stopped breathing for a moment.
Then, she jerked her hand away before saying impatiently, “What exactly do you want to do then, Zayn?
Zayn sneered and said casually, “Return to me ”
Julie stiffened. She looked disbelievingly at him.
Zam’s expression looked rather unnatural. When he spoke jus
Just now, his tome had been abnormally harsh.
*I admit, it’s been difficult to get used to not having you by my side, Julie,” he said. “If you obediently come back to me, I’ll let bygones be bygones.”
Julie frowned deeply, looking at him as if she was looking at an idiot.
“What about Megan?” she asked. “Are you going to tell me that you’ve grown tired of messing around with her?”
“If it bothers you, I’ll break up with her,” Zayn said carelessly. “My mother doesn’t approve of me being with her anyway.”
Julie just stared silently at him, not saying a word.
Sering this, Zayn irritably took out his cigarette box and placed a cigarette between his lips.
He lit the cigarette with a lighter and took a long drag from it, then said, “We’re still the same as before.”
Julie frowned in disgust at the smell of the cigarette smoke that he exhaled.
Lucian smoked too, but the cigarettes he used carried the funt fragrance of strawberries, unlike the pungent, unpleasant smell of Zayn’s. Repulsed, she took two steps back before asking coldly, “You really think highly of yourself, don’t you, Zayn?”
Zayn paused in his smoking, his eyes narrowing slightly. “What do you mean by that?
“Since you already know that you’re a substitute, do you think that I’ll still go back to you?
There was a hint of mockery in Julie’s tone.
“Julie, you promised me back then that you would stay by my side forever,” snapped Zayn. “Don’t you dare think of going back on your word.” Zayn’s every word was barbed and reflected his anger.
Julie nonchalantly arched an eyebrow at him. “ch? Sue me then.”
As he looked at Julie’s indifferent expression, Zayn turned livid with rage and his chest heaved. He was clearly incredibly angry at her nonchalance.
After a moment, his anger turned to laughter. His laughter was forced and unnatural, as if it was being forced through gritted teeth.
“Do you think that you’ll be able to get together with Lucian just because he’s back, Julie? Who do you think you are, compared to him? he questioned harshly. “Only I would be able to tolerate someone from a family background like yours.
“It recall correctly, your father is still in a sanatorium, isn’t he? You have to foot expensive medical bills every month, don’t you?
“Also, your mother is completely ignoring your father now and spending all her money on your younger brother. Do you think your father will still be able to continue drawing breath after you fail to pay the medical expenses at the end of this month?“.
Julie’s fists were clenched so tightly at her sides that her knuckles had turned white
It turned out that Zayn knew everything.
He knew of her difficult situation, her struggles, and her urgent need for money, but he had never once thought about lending her a helping hand.
She looked up to stare at hun.
Suddenly, she Laughed coldly. “So, are you trying to use my father to blackmail me right now, Zayn? You’re just like your mother, huh?
Zayns frowned deeply “What do you mean, just like my mother? What did my mother tell you?
Julie’s expression was filled with ridicule. “You two are truly mother and son. Even your methods are the exact same–you both used my father to threaten me.”
Zayn’s eyes widened in shock at her words. He had no idea that Martha had done such a thing
He had always assumed that Julie had remained by his side because Martha had given her money to keep an eye on him.
