Chapter 22
Adrian drove off, fuming with anger
Juliana glanced across the street at the luxury mall, pulled out her phoor, and called Tiffany. “Push the meeting back by two hours.”
“Yes, Mc BML”
She hung up and walked straight into the high end mall and spent the next two hours on a full–blown shopping spree–snapping up whatever brands were the most expensive, picking out the priciest items just for the bell of it.
Meanwhile, Adrian had just arrived at the hospital. His phone buzzed once. Then again and again.
Each vibration was a new purchase notification.
He tapped through a few and found that every single one was for Tamdreds of thousands.
He let out a cold, mocking laugh. “She said she didn’t care, huh? Yeah, right.”
The second she got the card, she started swiping like crazy–all for jewelry, luxury cosmetics, and other such items.
She acted all high and mighty, but now that the Larsons had suspended her card, she started panicking
Jordan approached “Mr. Callahan.”
Adrian asked, “Did you drive her car back?”
As Adrian headed toward Yvette’s private room, he suddenly said, “She’s been job hunting lately. Put out the word that no one’s allowed to hire her
Did he mean Juliana?
“Is she still refusing to go through with the wedding?” His question made Adrian’s face turn grim.
He didn’t want to admit it, but yesterday, Juliana had Seraphina publicly announce that the wedding had been cancelled.
He’d been dumped. Plain and simple.
“She’ll come around.
The smugness of her demeanor flashed in his mind, making his jaw ache with renewed tension. He gave a cold snort.
One werk was all it would take for her to face reality. Without the Larson family or him, she wouldn’t survive a day in Hashbourne.
He entered Yvette’s ward
Sylvia was there beside ber. The moment she saw him, she walked over anxiously. “Adrian, will Dr. Harrison come back?”
Tie took a deep breath. “I’m working on it. Don’t worry.
Hearing that, Sylvia knew it meant things weren’t going well. “I just remembered that Dr. Harrison is supposed to be really close to Juliana. You don’t thank her leaving the country had something to do with Juliana, do you?”
Adrian was speechless. They weren’t just supposed to be close; they were best friends.
Yvette looked at him with eyes, full of grievances.
That look made him even more furious at Juli
Especially with Yvette in her current condition, le couldn’t let Juliana keep stirring up trouble like this.
His phone kept vibrating nonstop. He usually didn’t get this many messages in a month, but now it was like a slot machine. He glanced at the screen again, Hopley fat secuelling different, but nope—inure purchase alerts from Julluna.
The saller ones were tens ur hundreds of
ands, now they were easily past a million!
What the hell was she buying? Was her vaulty truly insatiable?
“Adrian? Adrian?”
“Him? What is 31?” he looked over at Yvelle
She looked heartbrulum “So is Dr. Harrison really her best friend?”
Bodded. “Yeah,
The moment he confirmed it. Yvette and Byhis exchanged a glance.
faja’s breathing quickened. “Was a Juliano’s doing she suddenly left? No, seriously, how can she be so vicious?”
Now that they knew for sure Anolia was Juliana’s best friend, Sylvia was convinced it was all her doing
Tears welled up in Yvette’s eyes
Her voice trembled with grievances “She must still think I was beland that indent. Otherwise, why would she do this to me?”
Bringing that up suddenly made both Adrian’s and Sylvia’s expressions nur dark again.
Just as Adrian was about to speak, he received two more alerts.
He checked again and found that they were the same purchasing notifications. He thought Juliana’s vanity was out of control. She must’ve burned through nearly ten million by now
