The next day.
Julius left the hospital but didn't go home or to the office. Instead, he drove to Crystal Springs.
This time, he was stopped by security at the gate before he could even enter the community.
After the snake incident at her house, Janina had informed the guards not to let Julius or Elena in. She had even printed out their photos and given them to the security team, telling them to look carefully. If anything like that happened again, she would hold property management responsible.
This instantly got their attention.
Photos of Julius and Elena were posted on the wall of the security booth, the first thing the guards saw every day. As a result, every guard had memorized their faces.
So, the moment Julius appeared, a guard immediately blocked his path, even pulling out a dusty stun baton as a precaution.
Frustrated, Julius knew he couldn't force his way in, so he had no choice but to call Janina. But she had long since blocked his number.
He had his assistant, Wayne, get him a new phone and finally managed to get through to her. However, the moment she heard his voice, she hung up with a sharp click.
All Julius could do was wait at the main gate, hoping for a glimpse of Janina and the children.
He waited from morning until night, and then through to the next dawn, but he didn't see Janina or anyone else from the Holt family.
He just wanted to see his children with his own eyes and tell Janina, face-to-face, that he was sorry.
A strange panic seized Julius's heart. He was terrified that Janina would take the two children and disappear from his world forever.
He hadn't even had the chance to be a good father.
He lived like a robot, his life revolving around nothing but studying. If he didn't learn well, he would be beaten.
He had no friends, no warmth. He even wondered if he would work himself to death. It was during his most desperate and helpless moments that Yvonne appeared.
When he first saw her, she had a high ponytail, wore a school uniform, and had a smile that was dazzlingly bright. Her smile felt magical, chasing away the gloom in his heart. It seemed that just seeing her could brighten his entire day.
And so, under the intense pressure of his studies, Yvonne became his only light in the darkness.
Back then, he had thought to himself that even though the world was a terrible place and he had contemplated ending his life because living felt so exhausting, he was willing to love this world one more time, just for Yvonne.
And so he endured. He worked step by step, building the Aurelius Group into the powerhouse it was today. He never imagined that Yvonne had been deceiving him from the very beginning. She was not the kind, pure person she appeared to be.
