You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 606

Usually, people spoke to Julie in a low voice out of respect, but now, she was the one speaking in a low voice, even though she was talking to Noah and Henry, who were younger than her.

She had never been on good terms with them as she was fighting constantly over the property that the family owned. However, she now had no choice but to put her pride aside and beg them for the sake of her daughter. Her motherly love was almost admirable.

But her words were not.

Although Henry did seem like a man who was easy to intimidate, he was not, actually.

"Aunt, I don't agree with you." As he said that, Henry adjusted his glasses, which made him look smarter.

"Your daughter imprisoned her own father, stole money from the company's funds, and smuggled drugs. Regardless of how you see it, she is a criminal. These are not things that could be done within one night. I am certain that she has been doing it for nearly four years now."

Upon hearing his cold words, Julie was speechless. Embarrassed, she stammered, "But she is still your sister, and she is young."

"Are you serious?" Henry interrupted her and turned to Noah. "How old will Vivian be this year, Noah?"

"She is twenty-eight," Noah replied instantly.

"Yes, you're right. Time flies, doesn't it?" Henry said with a sigh.

Julie's face paled. It became evident that neither of them were going to help her. She felt humiliated.

Thinking of that, Julie was almost out of breath. But then, a sudden idea flashed through her mind. Vivian had told her that Henry could be threatened, if such a necessity arose.

With a smile, Julie sat up straight and looked at Henry with a disgusted expression.

How could she not feel disgusted after thinking of him being homosexual? She found the thought so repulsive that she felt like throwing up.

Afraid that she might actually throw up, Julie lifted her hand and covered her mouth.

Looking at her disgusted expression, Henry was confused, but before he could even say anything, Julie interrupted him.

"Henry, you need to save Vivian, regardless of whether you want to or not. If you don't, the news of your affair with Adrian is going to become public," she said with a snort.

Henry's expression darkened. Just as he had expected, she was threatening him.

Henry and Adrian had kept their relationship a secret for the past few years. Even when Adrian came home to him with a lipstick stain on his body, Henry did not suspect him of cheating. He thought that as long as Adrian was loyal to him, nothing else would matter.

Except for John, no one had suspected their relationship. Adrian's family was on good terms with Henry's family, so no one doubted them. Moreover, since Albert and Kristina had been married, it seemed quite normal for them to be close.

Even if someone thought that their relationship was odd, they never dared to talk about it as Henry and Adrian came from very powerful families.

Henry thought that it was ridiculous of Julie and her daughter to threaten him. 'Am I really that easily scared away?'

Henry had come back to Ye family only because John had told him that people could only be shut up if he was in a powerful position that came with a lot of wealth.

"Aunt, are you sure that you want to talk about such a thing? You can't just waltz into one's private space and hope that they would let you walk out freely, right?" Henry asked coldly, staring at Julie as though he wanted to murder her.

Julie trembled with fear.

'His eyes

look so horrible, ' she thought to herself.

But that was only because she believed that they were friends.

If Ella were to learn about the true nature of their relationship, she would be the first person to stand against their love.

As Henry contemplated that, he lowered his head, but remained silent.

Seizing the opportunity, Julie continued, "I think you and Adrian know the kind of thing that Ella will do if she learns the truth. She will force Adrian to marry a woman from a respectable family. Then, you two won't be able to see each other for the rest of your lives."

Noah's heart sank as he thought of Albert.

'Threatening Albert with her life is something that that pervert woman could do. It was she who ruthlessly tortured her son Albert at that time; otherwise, how could he develop a dark personality?'

When Albert was still a child, he was cute and kind-hearted.

Noah noticed that Henry was just a moment away from giving up and placed his hand on his brother's shoulder.

Henry turned around and looked at his brother, his heart filled with guilt.

Noah pulled him aside and stood there, facing Julie.

After all, he was older, and he needed to protect his younger brother.

"Ms. Liu, since Vivian has broken the law, she should be punished, and that's the end of it. No one can help her now. I don't know if you're being brave or stupid, but you just threatened him in front of a policeman. Don't you know that it is a crime to threaten people?"

Noah asked in an intimidating voice.
