A Night with Her Cruel Mate novel Chapter 42

"Julia," Jean called out as she walked to her sister. "If I were you, I would be figuring out a way to resolve the on-going crisis, instead of coming here to find out the reasons why we did it.

I'm actually doing this to help you. You're an actress, but you've never been famous. After you receive attention from this, you'll want to thank me for it." Jean laughed with amusement.

"Jean, don't be so cocky," Julia retorted, her face darkening into a scowl. "I've been in this industry for many years and I've seen all types of scandals occur. If you think that you can put me down by slandering me, then you are obviously too naive."

"Really?" A sarcastic grin appeared on Jean's face. "That's great. I was afraid that you wouldn't able to withstand it. Then I would probably have less fun."

Julia narrowed her eyes at Jean and turned to glare at her mother. "I will never forget what you did to me," she spat with anger. "This is the last time I will ever call you my mother. From now on, we will be strangers. Even if I see you on the street, I will not look at you. I hope you remember what you did to me. If you can't live on your own, don't bother asking me for help."

"Julia, I..." Mandy wanted to say something, but cowered when she saw Jean's scowl.

She watched Julia storm out of the room, doing nothing.

Her lips moved, but no sound came out.

"What? Do you feel sorry for her?" Jean scoffed in disbelief.

"No, it's not like that," Mandy argued in a rush. "I'm just worried about you. What if Julia does something bad to you? What if you won't be able to deal with it?"

"You don't have to worry about it." Jean walked over to the windows and looked out. "It's just Julia. I can handle her."

She watched as Julia angrily rush out of the villa. Just when she was about to exit, Sherry went after her.

"Mrs. Chen, please wait for me。" Sherry panted as she caught up with Julia. "This is your favorite food. Even since you left, I've wanted to visit you, but I don't know where you live."

Julia was moved when she looked at Sherry's sincere expression.

She gently looked at the girl and replied with a smile, "Thank you."

Sherry gave Julia the lunch box and sighed, "Mrs. Chen, I read the news. I don't believe that you are the person they described you to be. But..."

"But what?"

"They are planning on taking you down. You need to be more careful," Sherry warned with concern. It made Julia feel very saddened by the fact that they wanted to ruin her.

She had always felt as if she didn't belong in this house, but now she realized that Sherry cared about her.

Julia's eyes turned misty and red. She looked at Sherry with a gentle gaze. "Don't worry, I'm fine. But you..."

She sighed with a bitter smile. "I'm not here anymore, so please be careful. Don't let her bully you."

"Don't worry," Sherry assured with a smile. "I don't care. I don't want to serve her anyway."

Sherry didn't like Jean at all. When she was a child, her parents had gotten divorced because another woman was involved. So no matter how nice Jean was to her, she couldn't bring herself to like her.
