The Wife He Forgot to Marry novel Chapter 175

His three older sisters had done so much to support Locke Group. If Yulen truly wanted to be like Julian, he’d have to learn to stand on his own two feet. But she knew he would never stop leeching off them; it was far easier than fighting for his own resources. How foolish she’d been, working tirelessly on R&D for Locke Group, taking no credit, all because she hadn't wanted to burden him. She wished she could go back in time and slap herself.

Julian, deeply interested in pharmaceutical R&D, struck up a conversation with Tallulah, Locke Group's R&D director. He was clearly impressed.

Tallulah preened under his admiring gaze, secretly delighted. She knew her looks and talent would attract a discerning man like Julian.

When Julian learned that Tallulah was also the treasured daughter of the Shipley family, he was even more amazed. He knew most heiresses were groomed as tools for strategic marriages; few pursued professional careers, and those with genuine technical skills were one in a million. For Tallulah to possess such strong R&D abilities and be willing to work at Locke Group was truly remarkable in his eyes.

Yulen watched Julian’s open admiration for Tallulah and assumed it was her impressive skills that had won him over. And why not? Though young, Tallulah was a graduate of a prestigious university and had won several awards for R&D projects in college. She had been an outstanding assistant to him, and her charming, versatile personality made her an invaluable asset at business functions.

Then, Julian overheard Nolan and Winona discussing their current project and his interest was piqued. As he listened to Winona speak with such confidence and eloquence, his surprise grew. He found her insights on R&D were even more brilliant than Tallulah's, and her explanations sparked several new ideas in his own mind.

When Nolan mentioned that Winona was a student of the world-renowned Professor Harper, Julian was floored. Jericho's legendary status was well-known. Countless people vied to be his student, only to be turned away. He was known for accepting only those with exceptional talent and skill.
