Second Marriage The Billionaire's Planned Love (Quinn and Julian) novel Chapter 111

Chapter 111 The Setup

Julian said, “No need. I’ll handle it. If I want her, I’ll win her myself.”

Veronica scoffed. “You say that like you’ve got experience. I’ve dated before, remember? I’m a woman. I understand how women think.”

Julian replied, “If I need help, I’ll call.”

He ended the call.

Julian turned slightly and spoke to the bodyguard in the passenger seat.

“Look into something. Find out why Chase showed up at that hotel tonight.”

It might have looked like coincidence. But Julian never believed in coincidences.

Especially not when Chase showed up with Quinn’s parents and coworkers.

If nobody cleared Quinn’s name, she would have been humiliated in front of everyone. And once something like that happened, the stigma would follow her forever.

It could ruin her life.

Her parents and colleagues had all witnessed it. Word would spread fast. One person would tell ten, ten I would tell a hundred. Soon every relative and acquaintance would hear about it.

For a woman, that kind of damage to her reputation was almost impossible to erase.

As for Harold, Julian had no intention of letting

Julian would not have ignored it.

But Quinn was not a strange

She was the woman he cared about most.

Once Julian gave the order, the people working under him moved quickly. Within a short time, they pieced together the truth through call records and timelines.

The whole thing had been arranged by Quinn’s sister, Rosalie. She was overseas, but she had instructed Chase to set everything up.

Rosalie chose the restaurant. Rosalie picked the time. The bodyguard continued his report.

“Boss, we found something else. Harold’s wife only went to the hotel after receiving a phone call. That call came from Rosalie.”

That made everything perfectly clear. Rosalie had carefully planned the entire scheme.

Her goal was simple. She wanted Quinn completely disgraced.

“Rosalie.”

Julian quietly repeated the name. His eyes turned cold.

Meanwhile, Rosalie, who was still abroad, had been in a foul mood for hours. Then her phone vibrated.

A message from him. She grabbed the phone immediately and replied. At the same time, she subtly hinted that she might return to the country soon.

Of course, she would never say directly that she wanted to meet.

A woman had to maintain some reserve.

If she acted too eager, she would seem cheap. Men would think she was too easy to get, and they would stop valuing her.

So she waited.

She waited for him to take the initiative. To invite her back. To ask to meet. To confess. To make their relationship official.

Rosalie believed she understood men very well.

Controlling a man. Managing a relationship. Those things had always come naturally to her.

But Julian was not an ordinary man.

When Rosalie talked with him, she had to be extremely ca

He was either in meetings or entertaining clients. If it had been another man, she might have doubted him.

Is he really that busy?

But this was Julian.

Julian Sterling.

A man who controlled a massive business empire.

International trade, jewelry, shipping, ports, infrastructure, hotels, healthcare, consumer goods.

No matter which industry people talked about, the Sterling family was always involved.

Not only involved. They were usually leading the field.

Many of their projects even stretched overseas.

A man like that, how could he not be busy?

So Rosalie showed understanding. She even expressed concern for how hard he worked. Last time, he told her he bought her a small gift.

The package arrived the next day.

Inside was a designer handbag worth tens of thousands of dollars, along with a bouquet of flowers.

Compared to his billions, it might have been nothing.

But they had never even met in person.

And he was already that generous.

Rosalie was very satisfied. The next day, she sent him a gift in return. A luxury lighter worth tens of thousands.

From her experience, returning a gift at this moment sent the right message.

A man would think she wasn’t a shallow woman chasing money. And next time he gave her something, the value would only go higher.
