Chapter 34
Quiana had the day off today. Her big scenes were coming up in a couple of days Alina hung back to sort out the schedule. and sign on the dotted line.
After the Julius incident, John wasn’t about to hire Quiana without a paycheck anymore. He had to pay her what she was worth, at least the going rate
Quiana wasn’t fussed. Before she left, she casually threw out, “Don’t forget to send them a lawyer’s letter”
The room was as quiet as a tomb, Julius was right there, and even Keith had to eat crow. They’d better shut their mouth up.
Leaving the set. Zack and Nolan were the most pumped.
Julius’s basically saying she’s his girl now!” Zack said.
“But… why do I think Quiana’s not too happy about it!” Nolan asked.
Zack clapped him on the back, laughing. “She didn’t deny just now.”
Nolan was speechless.
Leo smirked. “Mr. Evans, did you forget your face?”
Quiana was in shorts, showing off her long, slender legs, smooth and perfect, turning heads in the sunlight.
Julius looked away, his wheelchair keeping pace with her steps as he said calmly. “The Larson residence or the slums? I’ll take you back
Quiana’s tone was cool and distant. “No need
Quintana, one of the nine territories, was pretty average but definitely mysterious.
It was not a walk in the park for Julius, a frail man in a wheelchair, to be the boss of Quintana. The marriage was a no–go, and she didn’t want to get any more tangled up with Julius than she had to
Just as she was about to turn the corner and hail a cab, Julius grabbed her wrist. His hands were long and elegant, with well- defined bones. Quiana’s eyes flashed coldly as she demanded, “Let go!”
Julius didn’t just hold on, he gripped tighter, insisting. “I’ll take you there.”
“Damn it!” Quiana frowned, breaking free with force. She then grabbed his wrist in a swift move, her thumb sliding over his pulse. Her voice was icy. “Either call off the engagement, or you marry Winona.”
Julius let out a soit cough, his face emotionless as he replied. “I choose to marry you
His pulse was weak, his organs were failing, and his heart was barely beating. He was a man on death’s doorstep. Qutuna remained calm, raised an eyebrow, and gave a cool smile. “Sorry, there’s no third option.”
She turned to leave, her back showing a rebellious and cold demeanor.
Watching her disappear into the taxi, Julius finally looked away, glancing down at his wrist where her grip had left two clear marks on his skin. He rubbed the spot with his thumb, a vague smile on his face. “She’s really cold and ruthless.”

Julius!” Nolan ran over, asking curiously, “Did you scare the other investors into pulling out of the project?”
Julius shook his head and said calmly. “No.”
“Huh?” Nolan was dumbfounded. Apart from Julius, he couldn’t think of others who had the power to make so many investors withdraw and boycott Winona.
Julius pulled his sleeve down over his wrist and wheeled himself toward the Maybach, giving off a somber vibe.
“Julius.” Zack’s eyes lit up as he leaned in and whispered, “If you want to get close to her, it’s not that hard.”
Julius paused slightly, looking up at Zack.
Zack rubbed his hands with a sly grin. “Don’t forget, her half–brother still lives in the slums.”

In the slums, down in the basement. Hugo was holding a white bowl and a syringe, feeding potions and food to the line of living specimens in the lab.
“Quiana!” As soon as Quiana returned, Hugo dropped the bowl and dashed over excitedly, shouting. Julius just spent 6 billion dollars to place an order with the Divine Alliance to investigate The Seraphic! 6 billion dollars!”
Quiana exclaimed. “Oh, man!”
“He’s loaded!” Hugo’s big eyes shone. “Why don’t you marry him? I mean, he’s disabled–can’t do much. You could just wait for him to bite the dust and then inherit his fortune and Quintana. Becoming the world’s richest person is just around the corner!”
