The feelings he gave her that night were so overwhelming-just seeing his face now, she couldn’t keep her composure

And later, she unexpectedly had his daughter. There was no way she could ever forget him.

Julian leaned back, crossing his legs with a casual air. “I might not care about you, but there’s no way I can just ignore my own daughter.

“If the Hammond family wants nothing to do with you, that’s none of my concern.

“But my daughter? That’s a different story-I’d never walk away from her.”

He turned to Nicole and asked, “Do you want it all-the Hammond family’s fortune, power, everything?”

Seeing her mom’s face and hearing Julian’s words, Nicole’s mind was spinning. Then it hit her-hard. The truth was staring her in the face.

She blurted out, “Are you… my real dad?”

Julian slid a sheet of paper across the table to Nicole. “Here-this is the paternity test for us.”

Nicole grabbed it and read every word, her eyes wide with shock and excitement. “I can’t believe you’re my dad! No wonder I felt so close to you the first time we met.”

She honestly never imagined Julian would turn out to be her real father.

He was way more powerful than Leo ever was.

Julian grinned. “Honestly, I feel close to you too.”

He asked again, “Do you want everything the Hammond family has?”

‘Can I really have it just because I want it?

‘Of course I want it, Nicole thought.

Julian said, “If you want it, it’s yours. I’ll help you get it all.

“My family doesn’t let their kids stay out in the world for too long.

“So I’ll have to head back soon, and I won’t be able to leave again anytime soon.

“But I just can’t help worrying about you.

“So after thinking it over, if the whole Hammond family ends up in your hands, they’ll have to look to you for everything, and depend on you to live their lives.”

His expression grew even softer, full of fatherly warmth. “That way, when I go back, I won’t have to keep stressing about whether you’re doing okay.”

Nicole’s ambition was lit on fire.

Ever since she joined the Hammond family, she’d been walking on eggshells, always trying to please Leo and her three stepbrothers.

She also had to be extra careful dealing with all those rich heiresses, just to blend into the high society circle.

But if she could really take over everything the Hammond family had, she wouldn’t have to care about Leo or her stepbrothers anymore. Those rich girls would be tripping over themselves to suck up to her instead.

And if Alicia ever found out, she’d probably be so shocked and grossed out she’d be totally speechless.

If she ended up taking over everything the Hammond family owned, maybe even Nicolas would kick himself for ever giving up on her.

Then Julian handed Nicole and her mom an envelope.
