Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Not knowing how much thad passed, she suddenly heard steady footsteps outside the meeting room. Yulia turned around.

It wasn't too long ago that they had seen each other, but Quill was much thinner than before. It was obvious at first glance that he hadn't had a good rest during that period of time, and his eyes were bloodshot. Because of Vera's incident, he was physically and mentally exhausted.

He had to care for his wife on one hand, and had to deal with the Holt family on the other. It must have been exhausting for him.

Seeing him like this, the guilt in Yulia's heart grew even stronger.

Because of her, everyone was hurt. Perhaps, she shouldn't have returned home. If she had remained abroad, so many things would not have happened.

She didn't know if it was because of this incident, but Quill treated her even more coldly. He didn't even greet her when she cin. He pulled out a chair and sat down directly, then looked at her icily.

She knew that she was in the wrong. Although she felt sad, she did not say much. She just went forward and handed the document to him.

He didn't take it, so she placed the document on the table.

"These are all the important information of the company." Upon hearing this, he narrowed his eyes. He was not sure what she was trying to do.

"Jasper and I know each other. He knew about Vera and I, and he felt that I was unjustly treated, which was why he did these things. Although he was the one who did it, I am also partly responsible. I can no longer accept your help in revitalizing the Maxwell family. I have already sorted out these documents." Quill didn't read the information, nor did he reply. He just looked at Yulia and asked after a long time, "Do you know the truth about the fire?" He was indirectly asking if she knew who had started the fire but kept silent about it, or if she was innocent and didn't know anything about it at all.

She looked at him, pursed her lips, and then sat down opposite of him.

"The arson actually happened twice. The first twas in a cafe. I had invited Vera out to have a chat, and at that tJasper wanted to kill her by setting her ablaze but I stopped him. I told him that I didn't want to take anyone's life. I thought... he wouldn't do this, but I didn't expect..." She really didn't expect that Jasper would do such a thing on the wedding day. He had trapped her in his plan. Perhaps he was not afraid of being sent to prison at all, she figured.

"So, you knew that he might hurt someone, but you didn't tell me?" Quill's tone was deathly cold as he stared at her.

It was the first tYulia had seen this kind of look in his eyes. Even though he had never liked her since she was a child, he had treated her with respect.

However, now, the expression in his eyes was completely different.

She felt as if her heart was stabbed by knives, and she almost couldn't breathe.

"No, it's not like that," she hurriedly explained. "On the night before you got married, I went out for a drink and got really drunk that night. I thought of attending your wedding the next day though. Quill, I like you very much. I have liked you since I was a child. I have always hoped that you will look atproperly one day, to givea chance. I always hope that I can be your wife someday. However, you are not interested in me. Even so, the Maxwell family had broughtup to not hurt anyone despite what happened. Thus, I really hope that you can believewhen I say I really didn't know about it." Upon hearing her words, he let out a derisive laugh.

"Don't you believe me?" "If you really took the matter seriously, you would have notifiedimmediately after the first incident. Also, you'd be alert about his actions after that. Although it is not entirely your responsibility, you didn't take the issue seriously. Therefore, you have no right to say these things to me." She looked at him blankly.

"So, are you saying that I am an accomplice?" She stretched both her hands out to him and said, "Do you want to call the police and arrestthen? Since I am an accomplice." She knew she was behaving tically but she couldn't help it. She was upset.

"If I have dirt on you, you'll not even have a chance to sit here and speak toright now," he replied and then stood up. He looked soulless.

Upon hearing his reply, she felt as if she was slapped across the face. If he really had evidence against her, he would really send her to prison.

"If Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell were still alive, they would not want their daughter to end up like this. Yulia, respect, Mr. Maxwell and thus I wanted to revive the Maxwell family. I didn't do it for your sake. If you don't want to stay at the company, you can leave." After Quill left, Yulia was left alone in the room.

She had initially thought that he would angrily snatch the documents away and storm out of the room, leaving her with nothing once again.

She would lose her family affection, a her love, her faith, and fall into a no ил bottomless abyss again. Unexpectedly, he did not do that.

It was obvious that he put the blon himself.

Perhaps, just as he had said, the reason he didn't go too harsh on her was for her parents' sake.

Yulia, how foolish were you? During this period of time, Sam was quite busy because he had to go to the company everyday to deal with several matters.

As for what he had to deal with, Olivia was clear about it.

After that night, everyone understood and didn't mention it. He was even more afraid that she would be angry again, so he didn't say a word.

However, she watched as the Holt family fell. She even followed the gossip and tabloids about it. This time, two big corporations had linked d hands together to destroy I.ne Holt Group; it was no wonder that the whole process went so smoothly.

Holt Group was completely annihilated.

Although the doing seemed a bit over the top, Olivia could understand why it had to be done.

After all, the Holt family's people had nearly caused Quill to lose his wife, and he himself had been injured. Th the end the wedding had also been ruined. Although everyone was safe in the end, Quill couldn't just let it happen again could he? Hence, they need to take the necessary precautions.

The woman whom Sam liked was a clever woman. She, at least, picked someone who would stay by her side no matter what and who would be good to her. Putting down the cell phone, Olivia sighed again.

She supposed every woman's fate was different. She, on the other hand, had slept with a man who could not give her the tof the day in the e end, that man even went to rescue the woman he adored. However, she had always been a confident woman, so she would not mourn over the matter for too long, and she would not blVera either. She was glad that Vera was safe. Instead, she was worried about whether she should continue her relationship with Sam.

It was not her plan for the both of them to be like this.
