The moment Raelynn saw Julian, her first instinct was to turn and walk away.
Julian chased after her, sounding frustrated. "Raelynn, didn't you see me?"
She was treating him like the plague, and it rubbed him the wrong way.
"I saw you." Raelynn was forced to stop.
"Then why did you keep walking?"
"Who doesn't run when they see bad luck coming?"
Julian was speechless. He always thought his own tongue was razor-sharp, but Raelynn was definitely a match for him.
He honestly didn't know how to handle her anymore.
"A lot of people here today are in AI healthcare. If NexusMind is dead set on a project with such low odds of success, you should use this chance to network and ask for advice," he offered, genuinely trying to be helpful.
But Raelynn just laughed. "What makes you think the odds are low? Are you actually trying to be nice, or just insulting me?"
Julian was at a loss for words.
Had he said the wrong thing again?
Raelynn couldn't be bothered to argue with him.
She turned and walked away.
Julian rubbed his brow, feeling inexplicably suffocated.
When Seraphina walked over, she saw him still staring at Raelynn's retreating back.
He had completely ignored her just moments ago.
It filled her with an unsettling anxiety. "Julian? What were you talking about with Raelynn?"
He snapped out of it and looked at her. "Nothing."
He clearly had no intention of elaborating.
Seraphina's eyes darkened slightly. "Remember back at Longstride, when I said I needed to tell you something?"
Julian remembered. "Didn't you say it was nothing?"
She had backed out at the last second, so he hadn't pushed it.
Seraphina cast a sidelong glance in Raelynn's direction.
"I was hesitating, honestly. I didn't want to upset you. But... I can't stand seeing Raelynn pull the wool over your eyes."
"What do you mean?" Julian frowned slowly.
She let out a soft, helpless sigh. "Actually..."
"The woman trying to seduce Mr. Hudson—the one trying to steal your sister's fiancé... it might be Raelynn."
Julian's casual demeanor instantly vanished, replaced by a razor-sharp glare. "What?"
Seraphina looked hesitant but pressed on. "A few days ago, when Sebastian and I were in Houston meeting with some companies, I ran into Raelynn and Mr. Hudson. It looked like she was planning to move on to him the second things ended with Sebastian. In fact, Mr. Hudson even seemed like he wanted to marry her."
It was a massive bombshell.
Julian needed a long moment to process it.
His expression grew increasingly dark and shocked.
His heart twisted violently in his chest.
The inexplicable fondness he had been developing for Raelynn completely shattered in the face of his own sister's interests.
