Lou gave a cold laugh when Sadie suggested Julian would handle Vivian. Didn’t you just say she’s already out on medical pale! ||

after her, would that even be possible?

Sadie stared blankly. “What? Julian isn’t going to deal with her?”

“That doesn’t make sense, she continued when Louisa remained silent. “Last time Vivian came after you, Julian blocked every appeal route the Price family. tried. If you hadn’t intervened, I think he would have let her die in prison.

“Now she’s literally stabbed him, and he’s doing nothing? What is he thinking?”

Louisa had no answer. If only she knew what went on in lulian’s mind.

While Julian hadn’t moved against Vivian, he also refused to accept any apologies from the Prior family.

They had rushed to the hospital as soon as they learned about the stabbing, only to be blocked by Teddy. Julian wouldn’t see them.

They tried several more times with the same result. The message was clear: regardless of whether Julian pressed charges, the damage was done.

Having offended him, they could forget about future collaborations. In Silverlight City, they would likely lose resources, clients, and even friends who would

be afraid to associate with them.

This deeply troubled Owen and Caden as they sat in the hallway rotude Vivian’s hospital room, sighing heavily.

“I can’t figure out what Julian is thinking.” Owen said. “But now that were on his blacklist, the Capulet family probably is too. If our families could through marriage, we could weather this together. United, we wouldn’t have to fear the Tudor family.”

Caden shook his head. “I’m not as optimistic as you. You’ve seen how obsessed George is with his wife. Getting him to marry Vivian it

impossible.”

Owen bristled. “What’s wrong with our Vivian? How is the Price family inferior to Louisa? Is marrying Vivian beneath him

Caden didn’t have the energy to argue. Yes, that was the principle, but George simply wouldn’t do

Just then, his phone rang. After hearing just one sentence, he exclaimed, “What? George and Enuisa are really divorced? The paperwork is done?

Owen perked up instantly. Had their fortunes suddenly turned?

Lily jumped in surprise, quickly steadying the IV stand. Be careful! If the needle comes out, you’ll have to be stock again.”

Before Lily could respond, Caden entered from outside.

Just because he’s divorced doesn’t mean hell marry you,” he snapped. “Can you stop this nonsense?

“No! He’s mine! He has to marry me? Hen divorced Louba, hasn’t he?

Her stubborn refusal to listen or accept reality made her seem like Georges perfect match.

Caden patience was nearly exhausted. “Vivian, can you stop being delusional? If George wanted to marry you, he would have agreed last time

“He divorced because of what you did to Louis–because he felt he couldn’t protect his wife anymore. It was to protect her, not for you. So please, stop

and accept reality!”

“No! No! No! Vivian screamed frantically, “What reality? Why should I accept that? He will marry me! I have a plan–trust me. He’ll definitely marry me!”

She clenched her fists tightly, her expression so wild yet confident that she seemed to believe George had already agreed.

The Price family exchanged worried glances. Could she truly have developed a mental illness?

Meanwhile, Louisa’s mood had soured over the news of Vivian’s release,

She had been feeling good–divorce finalized, on extra billion dollars in compensation, happily going to work. But her morning’s good mood had been completely ruined.

Still, she needed to visit her savior. On her way home, she stopped by the supermarket to carefully select some fruit.

Bob opened the door for her, his face lighting up with a warm smile.

“Why bring fruit? You’re not a stranger. Don’t do this next time,” he said, noticing her package.

“I understand, Bob,” Louisa replied, handing him the fruit. “Where is Mr. Tudor?”

“In his bedroom. Go ahead.”

Louisa walked toward Julian’s bedroom, having been there before.

Julian was resting in bed, reclined against the headboard reading a book, wearing a dark gray silk robe. His presence made the already cool–toned bedroom

feel even more austere.

Louisa felt his essence in every breath she took an odd sensation

Though she’d been in his bedroom before and had even slept there twice, those times she’d been alone. Now, entering while he was in it felt somehos Inappropriate.

But wasn’t she here to check on him? She froze, caught between entering and retreating

A cool voice came from inside, “Either come in or lease. Why are you just standing there?”

“Right, Caught, she had no choice but to enter,

Julian returned to his book without acknowledging her farther.

Louisa approached his bedside, her tone concerned, “Mr. Tudor, how is your injury?”
