You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 607

Only then did Julie realize that Noah was a policeman. There was a trace of regret in her eyes. 'How could I just ignore him? He is here.'

Although Julie was filled with regret, she still didn't want to give up.

"I was just discussing something with Henry. I was not threatening him. You can't just sling mud at me." Julie didn't dare to look into Noah's eyes while she spoke.

She was not only afraid of her husband, but also Noah. Perhaps it was because of the nightmares she had recently, but she was filled with guilt and didn't dare to have any conflict with Noah.

Noah captured Julie's uneasiness. A conniving look flashed through his scheming eyes. He still stood tall in front of Henry, not allowing him to speak.

"Ms. Liu, I'm Henry's brother. Whatever you want to discuss with him, you can discuss with me. I won't agree with what you just said, though. Before that, I want to say something else."

Julie was nervous; she knew that Noah was going to give her a hard time.

'Since when did they get along so well? It's not like they have the same mother. Besides, there are so many brothers that have endless conflicts over family property.'

"Henry is Henry! You are you! Why should you make decisions for him? Are you going to be the CEO of Ye Group on his behalf? I seem to recall that you are no longer the biggest shareholder of Ye Group." Julie was doing her utmost to cause dissention between the brothers.

She knew Henry wasn't a fool. He had to understand what she meant and moreover, he surely didn't want to give up his power as CEO of Ye Group. All men strived for fame and status.

Henry couldn't be that easily provoked though. All he cared about was his lover. Fame and status meant nothing to him.

Henry poked his head out from behind Noah and kindly reminded, "After the general shareholder's meeting, Noah is now the chairman of Ye Group. He holds forty-five percent of the shares. Whether Ye Group or Ye family, it's up to him now."

Julie was dumbfounded and her face showed it.

She questioned loudly, "What about your father? Are you rebelling against him? Your father is still alive. Are you planning on taking all the family property for yourselves? You are shamelessly ambitious!"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. It was all my dad's idea," Henry said with a smile as he hid behind Noah again.

Noah was a lean man but he had a thick and powerful back. Staring at it, Henry felt like he was seeking protection from the rain and wind behind his dad's back, just as he did when he was a child.

Henry pushed his glasses up and smiled. Noah had asked him to continue being the CEO of Ye Group. He was a brilliant leader. One day the Ye Group would be passed on to the kids Noah might have.

Julie was stunned. She didn't have any real power in the Ye family so she could only ever rely on her husband. When he was in trouble, she relied on her daughter.

'Now that my daughter is in trouble and my husband has nothing, what should I do? What are my options going forward?'

This spurred Julie on to save her daughter.

But before Julie could say anything, Noah brought up something from the past.

"I want to let you know that if any news about Henry and Adrian comes to light, I'll know it's you. You will end up in jail with your daughter. You know better than anyone else why my mother died."

"What? I..." Julie was absolutely flabbergasted. Her eyes widened as her jaw dropped.

Panic surged from her feet all the way to her head. She felt as if a pair of hellish bones were strangling her, just like in her dreams.

Noah was taking a shot in the dark, in all honesty. He had no idea that Julie was somehow tied in with his mother's death. He bluntly said, "You thought I wouldn't investigate? Even though twenty years have passed, with current technology, anything can still be restored and investigated."

Julie fell onto the sofa. The softness of the cushions held her and made her feel like she had no control of her body anymore. She felt exposed and completely helpless.

"I want you to die." Noah clenched his fists and took a deep breath to try and calm himself down. He didn't actually have any real evidence yet.

"Remember what I said. If any news about Henry and Adrian surfaces, I will send you to prison. Get out now!" He pointed at the door.
