The Man Who Waited vs. The Man Who Wasted novel Chapter 424

The corner of Julian's mouth quirked up almost imperceptibly.

"I thought you weren't the talkative type."

Gideon: "Depends on the person. If it's you and Jocelyn, I don't mind talking."

"Oh, right. Did Jocelyn tell you I've been to prison?"

Julian showed no surprise.

"I just found out from you."

"You don't mind?"

"As long as she doesn't mind, I don't."

"But you own the company. You're the boss."

"But she's the one who brought you in."

"So, if you two ever butt heads in the future, whose side should I take?"

Julian turned around and glanced back in the direction they had come from.

"Hers."

Gideon didn't quite get it, yet somehow, he understood perfectly.

Then, he heard Julian speak with slow, deliberate seriousness.

"Even if you betray me, never betray her. She has already suffered enough betrayal and pain in this life."

This time, Gideon offered a single, flat word.

"Understood."

But it carried the weight of a solemn vow.

Julian looked up.

In the pitch-black night sky, not a single star was visible.

The biting wind swept past his cheeks like fine, sharp needles.

The deep chill of the season had arrived.

Tomorrow, the landscape of this city...

Was about to change.

Eleanor was dead, but the eldest grandson of the Lowell family was still standing.

The foundation of the Lowells hadn't crumbled yet.

Consequently, the stream of mourners attending the funeral was endless.

Michelle wept hysterically in front of the memorial hall.

Putting on a vivid and spectacular display of filial piety.

Adrian wore a sharp black suit that made him look cold and solemn.

Audrey stood by his side, fully looking the part of the new Mrs. Lowell.
