Chapter 85 The Engagement Party
After sending Alex and Bruce off…
Julianna returned to Philadelphia and before she returned home, her phone rang.
Julianna took out her phone and took a look. It was Dexter calling.
Julianna hesitated and did not really want to answer the call.
She had slapped Shayla yesterday, and Dexter had probably called to denounce her.
However, since Julianna did not answer the phone, the phone kept ringing.
“Hello, Dad,” Julianna finally answered the phone.
“Julie?” Dexter’s dull voice came from the other side of the line.
“Dad, what is it?”
Dexter paused for a few seconds before asking, “Well, I heard that you had a very bad time with Shayla
yesterday?”
Yesterday.
After Shayla returned home, she threw a tantrum at Dexter and forced him to cut off his relationship with
Julianna.
Dexter was in a dilemma.
Julianna frowned slightly, and her tone was not very kind. “What’s wrong? Are you here to
denounce me, Dad?”
“Alas, your temperament is becoming more and more like your mother’s. You’re becoming sharper and
more unreasonable.
“If you could listen to my advice, things wouldn’t end up like this…”
Without waiting for Dexter to finish his words, Julianna directly interrupted him, “Dad, what’s the matter?
If there’s nothing else, I gotta go There’s still work to deal with later.”
Dexter pondered for a few seconds and hurriedly said, “Well, next month on the sixth. Mr. Keaton and
Kate are engaged. Are you coming?”
Julianna was stunned for a moment and directly refused, “I don’t think it’s necessary, right? My
appearance on such an occasion will only disappoint everyone.”
Hearing her refusal, Dexter felt slightly relieved.
He did not really want Julianna to come, but he was afraid that she would ruin the engagement
party again.
“Alright then. Since that’s the case, I won’t force you anymore.
“No matter what, both you and Kate are my daughters. I hope you can be happy and find good
husbands.
“What happened six years ago, I don’t want it to happen again.”
“Dad, don’t worry. I won’t come, and I won’t ruin it,” Julianna said with a chuckle.
“Well, Mr. Hodson is also a good man, and I have a good influence on him. If you have time, bring him
home for a meal.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJulianna raised her voice and tried to be as calm as possible, “Dad, I don’t think it’s necessary. You don’t
have to ask about my matters anymore.”
Julianna was self-aware and knew that Dexter did not really care about her
In the past, Julianna was also very eager for her father’s love, eager to get his care and love But now, all
the fantasies had been shattered.
“Julie, why are you becoming more and more disobedient? I remember that you used to be a very
obedient girl.
“As a girl, you have to be a little more docile…”
“Dad, the elevator is coming I’m going to get in the elevator. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now “With
that, Julianna hung up the phone.
Then Julianna hung up the phone.
Just as the elevator arrived, Julianna lowered her head and went into the elevator She couldn’t
describe how she felt.
In any case, she had already divorced Edwin. All her thoughts right now were on the three babies. and
the Reece Group’s business.
As for other things, she did not want to care about them anymore.
With a ding, the elevator reached its destination.
The elevator door opened.
Julianna lowered her head and walked home, somewhat upset.
Bang.
She walked too quickly, and when she turned, she suddenly bumped into someone’s arms.
“Sorry…” Julianna subconsciously apologized.
The person on the other side did not speak, but he still blocked the way and did not let Julianna
move.
Julianna rubbed her forehead and looked up.
Only then did she realize that the person standing in front of her was Edwin.
At this moment, Edwin’s handsome face was covered with gloominess, and his hawk-like eyes were filled
with blood.
He looked cold and haggard.
Seeing that it was Edwin, Julianna subconsciously raised her eyebrows and her heart almost jumped to
her throat. “Mr. Keaton, why did you come over?”
“Can’t I come over?” Edwin asked coldly
“Where you want to go is your freedom. Now please move aside, I am going to enter my house.”
Edwin stretched out his arm to support the wall, blocking her way domineeringly.
“Julianna, I want to ask you, when did you betray me?”
“When did I betray you?” Julianna tried her best to calm down.
“Grandma told me that the children are not mine.”
“Yes. They are indeed not yours.”
Edwin gasped.
His anger still erupted uncontrollably, and he directly grabbed her lower jaw with his big hands.
“During our marriage, you were already with Glenn, weren’t you?”
Julianna’s breathing stopped, and her eyes wandered in a panic.
She knew that Edwin had a bad temper.
Provoking him was not a fun thing
“Mr. Keaton, during our marriage, I have never cheated on you.”
“Glenn and I… We only got together after I divorced you.”
“Hmph, is that so?” Edwin stepped forward and pressed Julianna against the wall.
In the past few days, Edwin kept asking himself.
Who exactly do I love? Can the relationship between us continue?
Julianna panicked and tried her best to keep calm “Mr. Keaton, we have already divorced. Both of
us have a new life.
“Please don’t disturb me in the future.”
Edwin sneered, “So women are more heartless than men.”
“Whatever you say. You are going to be engaged soon. Don’t bother me anymore.”
Edwin’s eyes narrowed, and his heart was in turmoil.
“Mr. Keaton, I’m going home. Please let go…” Julianna tried to sneak away under his arm.
Edwin held her wrist and slammed her against the wall. “Julianna, I really want to strangle you to
death
“How are you going to betray me?”
“Mr. Keaton, you are really funny. I was with another man only after we divorced.
“Now please let go of me. Don’t pester me like this. We are all adults, so there is no need to do this.”
“Don’t call me Mr. Keaton anymore, and don’t pretend to be unfamiliar with me.” Edwin’s breathing
quickened.
Whenever Edwin got close to Julianna, his body would always be on fire.
Julianna’s heart trembled. She wished she could penetrate the wall and escape to the other side of the
wall. “Edwin, what exactly do you want?”
What exactly did Edwin want?
Edwin was also unclear.
He only knew that his mind was in a mess right now, and he was restless and uneasy.
However, pride made him unwilling to admit that he could not let go of his feelings for Julianna.
Edwin suddenly lowered his head and kissed Julianna’s lips hard.
“Julianna, I will kill you…”
“Ah, don’t be like this. Someone help.”
Julianna pushed Edwin with all her might and shouted in the corridor.
“Click.”
A neighbor opened the door and peeked out to check.
“What are you doing? Hurry up and stop. If you don’t stop, I’ll call the police.”
Edwin turned around and looked at the neighbor coldly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe neighbor fixed his eyes and saw that it was Edwin. He was immediately shocked.
He hurriedly pushed his glasses and looked carefully. It was indeed Edwin.
Edwin was the richest man in Philadelphia, and he was often reported on TV. Therefore, almost
everyone in Philadelphia knew him.
The neighbor was so scared that he closed the door again. He, a commoner, did not dare to meddle in
other people’s business.
“Edwin, don’t act recklessly.”
Casey heard the voice and quickly opened the door. “Ms. Reece, Mr. Keaton…”
Edwin resentfully let go of Julianna.
“Just you wait, I won’t let this go.”
After saying that, Edwin turned and left with a cold face.
After Edwin left, Julianna still had lingering fears and leaned against the wall to catch her breath.
“Ms. Reece, are you alright?” Casey rushed to Julianna.
“Let me help you get into the house.”
“Okay.”
When Julianna returned home, she swallowed a few pills to resist depression and lay on the sofa.
After a long time, she gradually calmed down.
In the blink of an eye.
It was the day of Edwin and Katelyn’s engagement party.
The engagement party was held at Bellevue Hotel..
On that day, the entire hotel was reserved.
All the celebrities in Philadelphia attended the engagement party.
Glenn called Julianna early in the morning.
“Julie, today is Edwin and Katelyn’s engagement party. Are you really not going?”
5/6
On the other side of the line, Julianna chuckled. “What am I doing there?
“I have a lot of work to do.”
“Shall we have dinner together tonight?”
“Okay.”
Julianna was Edwin’s ex-wife, and probably no one wanted her to show up.
At the engagement party.
On the stage filled with flowers, the emcee was dressed in bright and beautiful clothes He stood on the
stage and happily hosted the engagement party.
“Today is Mr. Keaton and Ms. Reece’s engagement party. Welcome, dear honorable guests
“Congratulations to Mr. Keaton and Ms. Reece for getting engaged. Let’s have a toast. Let’s wish them a
happy new life.”
The party was bustling.
The people who came were all celebrities from different walks of life, and Melina also personally came to
greet the guests from the business and political fields.
Shayla was like a butterfly as she excitedly walked around.
It was finally the engagement party today.
After the engagement, Edwin and Katelyn would officially get married.
