Chapter 197
Elated by Julian‘s call, Tiffany answered the call and said in a saccharin–sweet voice, “Julian darling...”
“Tiffany, how are you getting on there?” Julian asked, voice somewhat concerned.
Tiffany eyed her surroundings, at the mosquitoes that flew around her, before she replied, “ I‘m quite well, Julian darling. Don‘t
worry about me. How are you?”
“The reason I called is to tell you something,” said Julian. “Charmine promised me half a month ago, saying that if I pursue her
for a month, she‘ll marry me.”
“Marry you? Really?” Tiffany could not control her voice and nearly screamed out loud.
Although she did not like the idea of Julian pursuing Chamine, she loved the idea of them getting married! Once they got
married, with Charmine‘s personality, she would quit the entertainment industry for Julian and would end up as an ugly house–
wife. She might even give all her assets to Julian willingly!
By the time Tiffany married Julian, she would become the wife of the wealthiest man in the world!
Julian thought that Tiffany was happy for him, so he continued, “I have some screenshots with me, and judging by her Instagram,
it seems that she‘s touched.
“The reason I called you is that I hope you‘d be able to convince your family to accept this marriage and make this happen
quickly.”
Tiffany‘s heart sank a little. The reason Julian called was to ask her to help them get married? A s Tiffany thought more about it,
she realized how forced and casual they–her and Julian sounded.
She repressed her sadness and continued in an understanding tone, “Julian darling, don‘t you worry. I promised to help you
make this happen, and I‘ll keep my promise. I‘ll call Mom later and convince them to agree to this marriage.”
“You‘re the best, Tiffany. Don‘t worry, once I got hold of her assets, I won‘t let you down,” said Julian with a sweet and gentle
tone.
Tiffany‘s lips curled up a little, and they exchanged a few more nausea–inducing sweet words before the call ended.
In an instant, the smile on her lips faded and was replaced with a mocking smile. Julian used to say things like, ‘Once I got hold
of her assets, I‘ll marry you and give you a fancy wedding, and a future with love.
This call ended with a mere, ‘I won‘t let you down.’
Had his promise to marry her become a duty of sorts? Had his love changed?
It appeared that Tiffany had to make another plan just in case.
She took out a diary from her suitcase and started writing with a pen. Once she jotted down some things, she phoned Joey.
Joey‘s caring voice came out from her phone, “Tiffany, how are you out there? Why didn‘t you call me in the past few days? Do
you know how worried your dad and I are?”
“Mom, I‘m sorry to have worried you. I only wanted to reflect on my own and to clear my mind. Please don‘t be worried about me,
I‘m doing fine, and I‘ll take care of myself,” assured Tiffany with her sweet–girl voice.
Joey sighed in worry. “You‘ve never left the house this long before. I’m really worried about you, and I’m worried that you might
do silly things on your own.”
“Why don‘t you come home? Everyone‘s forgotten about what happened, and your Grandpa had also ordered that nobody could
talk about it. No one will hold it against you.”
‘Huh? No one will hold it against me? Why don‘t they return the ten percent share back to me!
Tiffany fumed to herself, though she kept her composure as she calmly replied, “I can‘t forgive myself, Mom, even if everyone
forgives me. I‘ll be sure to self–reflect thoroughly this month, don‘t worry.
“I‘m actually calling you in hopes that you‘d be able to convince Charmine to rekindle her relationship with Julian.” 1 “What?
Tiffany, are you out of your mind? Don‘t you like Julian?” asked Joey in shock.
