He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 284

Donovan knew exactly how Julian's mind worked.

Pushing him too hard right now would only make him rebel, throwing gasoline on an already volatile situation.

Julian just listened in silence, and that quiet defiance only made Donovan more anxious.

Ever since he was a teenager, this grandson had been entirely beyond his control.

He was too independent, too strong-willed.

Even when the family cut off every cent of his financial support years ago, Julian had still managed to build a massive fortune from the ground up.

Donovan knew the harsh reality: the Campbell family needed Julian far more than Julian needed them.

After letting his grandfather finish, Julian finally spoke. His tone was casual, yet wrapped in unbreakable steel.

"Grandpa, she's the only one I want."

There was no room for negotiation. He was making his absolute devotion painfully clear.

Donovan was stunned into silence.

Julian didn't try to fill the quiet.

Finally, Donovan found his voice again. "If you're truly dead set on this, she at least has to leave that marriage cleanly. I won't have the Hayes family pointing fingers and dragging the Campbells through the mud."

"Understood," Julian replied evenly.

Donovan didn't push it any further and ended the call.

Julian knew he had the power to do whatever he wanted.

But for Helena's sake, he had to keep his rebellious nature in check.

He knew better than anyone that if he forced the issue, he could win.

But doing so would guarantee that the Campbell family would harbor a permanent, toxic prejudice against Helena.

Julian refused to turn her future into a battlefield.

Almost the very second he hung up, a group of men walked into the room.

"Sir," one of the bodyguards greeted Julian respectfully.

Julian cast a brief, indifferent glance over them, entirely unbothered by their sudden appearance.
