SWNOVELS Chapter 34
Chapter 34
I’m just after the dough, and Mr. Sanches happens to be rolling in it. Sounds like a match made in heaven to me” Julie quipped,
her voice dripping with elegance and poise.
Elliot had seriously overestimated her. She was definitely there to stir up trouble.
Adeline, who was painting her nails, looked up with a mischievous smile. She pointed at Julie with her nail polish brush, then at
her brother. “She and my brother make a great pair Relax, mom They’re into each other. Why are you trying to stick your nose
in? Right, Elliot? I support you. So what if she’s been married before? That just means she’s got experience”
Victoria shot Adeline a glare, “Shut your trap!*
Before Victoria’s words had even faded, Raymon’s booming voice filled the room. “Let’s cut to the chase. I’m not endorsing this
marriage. If you have any conditions, Ms. Abraham, spit them out”
Julie turned towards Raymon with a grin, “That depends on how much you think Elliot is worth”
Raymon rapped his cane on the floor, his gaze was icy as he said. “Ms. Abraham; know your limits. You can’t push your luck too
far!”
Elliot, realizing Julie was there to make waves, retorted, “And how much am I worth to you?”
If it weren’t for Raymon threatening to stop Julie from finding a job, he wouldn’t have brought her here so rashly
Victoria snorted at Julie, “Ms. Abraham, we’ll wire you 20K. I guess that’s what you are worth. Please stop hounding Elliot.”
Julie wanted to accept but stuck to her guns. She gave Victoria a sarcastic look, “Didn’t know your family inherited the habit of
throwing money at problems. But you undervalue your son. In my eyes, he’s worth more than 20 grand. Who I bother is my
business. If you’re so capable, keep Elliot tied up
at home.”
With that, Julie stood up, straightened her outfit, and walked out with grace.
Elliot tried to follow but was stopped by Raymon’s sharp rebuke. Bodyguards immediately surrounded Elliot, preventing him from
chasing after Julie.
This was Julie’s real goal She knew Elliot was thick–skinned and wouldn’t give up no matter what she said. So, why not infuriate
Raymon and get Elliot grounded once and for all.
As Julie stepped out of the Sanches Mansion, she realized a problem. The mansion was in the middle of nowhere, and there
was not a cab in sight, let alone a soul. How was she supposed to leave?
Just as she was at her wit’s end, Adeline appeared out of nowhere.
Before Julie could react, Adeline tossed her a set of car keys.
Adeline pointed at a red Ferrari. “Take it. Consider it a gift for my future sister–in–law. If you’re not planning to become one, give
me your address. I’ll pick it up when I have time. You seem smart. You wouldn’t really plan to hoof it, would you?”
Julie looked at Adeline, shook the keys in resignation, gave her home address, and drove off in the red Ferrari.
Julie hadn’t driven in a while, and her driving skills weren’t the best. But after a bumpy ride, she was almost home.
What she didn’t expect was that just a few hundred meters from home, she would crash someone’s car.
