Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1498

Noel thought about entering the room to check on her, but he didn't know what identity to assume while doing so.

Was he a friend? Or fiancé, based on Sue's words?

Cecilia lay on the bed, her face pale. Desolation flickered in her eyes.

"Do you find me disgusting?"

Noel had hesitated, but he hadn't meant for Cecilia to interpret his actions that way. "I'll go call someone for help."

He didn't explain further, and turned to leave the room.

Soon, a servant came upstairs. Cecilia looked behind the servant but found no sign of Noel.

He had left.

Even if her mother had agreed to her request and brought up the marriage with Noel, he didn't agree.

Sue sat downstairs, still feeling uneasy. As she dressed and applied makeup, she used the time to calm her panicked heart.

However, Cecilia's words lingered in her ears. "Mom, I've been violated. If you don't let Noel marry me, I'll kill myself!"

"Madam," the servant reminded her as she seemed lost in thought. "Mrs. Lambert, whom you're scheduled to meet, is already here..."

"Alright." Sue picked her favorite blue ice crystal from her jewelry, and quickly went out to meet Mrs. Lambert.

She handed the crystal to her with a smile and said, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Lambert. Cecilia... has already fallen in love with someone. I invited you over without considering it thoroughly and didn't understand my daughter's feelings..."

Before she could finish, Mrs. Lambert's expression changed drastically. She didn't accept Sue's friendly gesture.

"Which family is this young man from?"

Sue knew Mrs. Lambert would ask this question.

Reluctantly, she had to answer, "It's not..."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across her face, and she changed her mind. "It's the Fulchers..."

"The Fulcher family?!"

Mrs. Lambert didn't wait for Sue to finish her sentence. Her eyes widened. "I've heard that the Fulchers have an illegitimate son. Could this person be the one your daughter likes?"

The Fulcher family had an illegitimate child?!

Doubt flashed in Sue's eyes, but she concealed it well. "Yes, exactly."

He returned like a demon, full of anger. As soon as he entered, he demanded all ten of Larry's fingers.

Larry was in pain, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead. He was still trying to defend himself through gritted teeth.

"I didn't! I really didn't do anything to her. I just wanted to marry her. She agreed, and even came to my house. She..."

Snap!

Noel didn't want to hear him babble too much. "Tell me everything that happened after you and Cecilia came here without missing a detail, or I'll cut off your tongue!"

When Noel mentioned cutting off his tongue, Larry really believed Noel. He started to feel afraid.

After thinking about it, he told Noel everything.

Then, he said, "Can't you see she was interested in me?"

Noel and the group of bodyguards listened with great incredulity. They now understood that Larry was a man with serious psychological issues.

After Larry's ex-girlfriend had upset him deeply, he wanted to get married and find someone not inferior to Lulu.

He also interpreted others' kindness and goodwill as indulgence toward him, and permission for him to harm them.
