Chapter 106
The news of Julia’s injury quickly reached Lucia’s cars. Although he couldn’t attend Donald’s birthday party that day due to some prior engagement, many attendees knew her. They were all part of the same social circle, and gossip spread rapidly within that circle. It was only a matter of time before Lucia heard about it.
When Lucia arrived at the villa and saw Harry helping Julia change her dressing, she became furious. As the gauze was removed, she saw the horrifying wound on Julia’s hand. Pointing at Julia, she scolded, “You’re useless! How could you let her hurt you!”
“Mom, what are you saying?” Harry said seriously as he helped julia change her gauze. At the same time, he had to face Lucia’s wrath.
Lucia said sternly. “Didn’t I already tell you to sever ties with Ary? Are you still secretly contacting her behind our backs! Harry, how many times do I have to tell you before you truly listen? As long as I’m alive, don’t expect to marry Arya into our family.”
Harry replied, “I understand.”
With her hands on her hips, Lucia paced around the room, observing Julia’s pitiful appearance. She then thought of Harry and Arya’s relationship and felt extremely angry. “If you truly understood, you should have severed ties with Arya long ago.”
“I know what to do,” Harry said indifferently. He still focused on tending Julia’s wound as if he were handling a precious treasure. Even Julia was almost attracted by Harry’s focused gaze.
Lúcia said, “Let me tell you what to do. You should send Arya back to where she belonged. If you can’t bear to do it, I’ll do it. I don’t want Wright’s family to have anything to do with her.”
Julia looked at Harry’s serious side profile and saw that he still wanted to protect Arya. She could not help but envy Arya, knowing that Harry was so concerned for her and even willing to confront Lucia for her sake.
Julia was well aware that Harry was a devoted son, and seeing him go to such lengths made her envious of Arya.
She silently acknowledged that even if she stayed by Harry’s side for a lifetime, she might never have received such
treatment.
Lucia said, “She can’t stay long in Cromont City
Lucia still didn’t believe Harry’s words. Facing Julia directly, she issued her final ultimatum to Harry. “I’ll give you a week at most. If you can’t handle Arya’s affairs properly. I’ll take matters into my own hands. Don’t blame me for being ruthless. when the time comes.”
Lucia’s face turned red with anger. Seeing Julia’s pitiful appearance made her even more frustrated. Unable to express her anger, she could only leave angrily.
Watching Lucia’s departing figure, Julia sighed
Harry said, “Why are you sighing? I’m the one being scolded, not you.”
“Didn’t you notice that even though she didn’t scold me, her expression made me uncomfortable?” Julia looked at her hand. wrapped like a mummy’s hand. She was disdained of it and looked away. “I didn’t do anything wrong. I even tried to cover for you.
but it seems I still messed up.”
“What did you do wrong?” Harry asked.
Julia smiled. “In her eyes, I might have been wrong for not keeping you close by my side, allowing Arya an opportunity, and letting your thoughts linger on Arya
