Opreattomiing, tobelvane Park, juliana spotted seraphina sitting a coach in the elevater lobby the moment she entered Sering berartive, Seraphina unmediately gur up and came over, wrapping her in abig

Seraphina, who was comforting her midway, fell silent. Wat bet friend not being a little too calm right now!
She then pulled back to examine Juliana from head to toe. When she noticed blood stains on her clothes, she jumped.
Hoh my god! Are you hurt? Where’s the wound?”
juliana looked down and saw several blood drops on her beige coat. She said, “It’s not mine.”
Seraphina was confused. “Then whose is 11?
Het vulce still held a note of panic.
Juliana replied, “They’re probably Yvette’s or Adrian’s.”
“beat up both Yvette and Adnanearlier.”
„Seraphina’s everbens shot up dramatically when she heard this. She’d just run into Adman and Yvette at the hospital this moming, and juliana had already given then a beating before noon. She couldn’t help but give paliana a thumbs–up.
“Being a hothead might cause trouble, but your temper is exactly what’s needed when dealing with scumbags and bitches.”
Event as a bystander, Seraphina was getting fired up herself. She’d originally worried Juliana would be crying her eyes not over veite’s retum,
Well, not only was she not crying—she’d given them both a proper thrashing. Though Seraphina didn’t fully understand this move, she fell deeply gratified.
muthully, Juliana’s temper wasn’t usually bad. She just tended to love control whenever Yvette was involved.
“Don’t bother going upstairs Let’s just grab lunch. It’s already noon.”
Juliananodded. “You took time off just to come here?–
Seraphina replied, “You bet i did. I just left early, but I’ll have to head back after lunch.”
With Juliana’s wedding a week away and this mess unfolding, Seraphina was genuinely worried she might spiral. They soon ended up at a steakhouse.
Juliana struggled with her knife when cutting the steak and said, “Let’s skip this place next time. It’s not good.”
She prefered barbecue, and Seraphina knew it.
“Thave limited time un a workday lunch break. Next time we’ll have barbecue for dinner, promise “
That’s how it was for workding folla–quick lunches and nothing fancy
Seraphina then asked, “So what’s your plan with the Adrian situation?
The steak tumed to cardboard in Juliana’s mouth at the mention of Adrian’s name.
“Can you pull an announs for? Just say that the wedding’s canceled. Add a blessing while you’re at it, something like “may the bitch and bustani live happily ever after!”
Seraphina’s knife and fork froze mid–air. That blessing was rertainly something.
Still, she had to ask, “But did the Larson and Callahan families agere to this?“.
Was her friend really this efficient? Just hours had passed, and she’d already thrown punches and convinced their families?
Juliana scoffed. “Wire would Lured ilurir permission?“
Seraphina fell silent Wed, fair point.
The engagement to Adrian had been aanged without Juliana’s consent in the first place. When the Callahan family elders leamed Yvette wasn’t the Lau biological daughter–and was actually the housekeeper’s child—they’d immediately wanted to break off the engagement
The Larson family had panicked at the time with several company projects depending on the Callahans‘ support, Sylvia and juliana’s father, Malcolm Larson, had conspired together and simply arranged Juliana’s engagement in private.
Plus, after the explosive confrontation between Juliana and Yvette two years ago, Adrian had surprisingly taken Juliana’s side. Alter Yvette was sent away, Adrian fund practically put Juliana on a pedestal.
Tury’d all assumed he’d finally seen though Yvette’s true nature. Now, with this sudden reveal, it was clear his behavior two years ago had beenpusly strategie. He was simply keeping juliana pacalled.
After all, Juliana had been dead set on sending Yvette to prison back then. As Seraphina untangled this web or deception, she cursed Adrian even more vehemently,

Seraphina was thoroughly confused When Seraphina bombarded Juliana with questions, Juliana’s eyes died as she lowered her gaze.
Why? It was probably because they each had their ownagenda and lidden motives.
