One Night, Two Babies
Julius' intuition told him that the child was definitely not her best friend's.
Julius' intuition told him that the child was definitely not her best friend's.
About half an hour later, he was finally done with work. Upon seeing him shut down the computer, the bored Madeline sprang to her feet.
"Done with work?" she asked anxiously.
Julius glanced at her. "Yep." He then approached her.
"What do you want? Are you in a hurry to do something?"
What sort of task was she going to do this time? When Julius thought of what happened in the private room of the bar last night, it filled him with rage.
"Nothing. I'm just bored," she said.
Madeline could sense his anger, and knew that it would be safer not to anger him any further. Based on what happened yesterday, she finally found out why everyone was petrified of him.
Never did she imagine that this man was such a capable fighter.
Shouldn't a young and promising CEO like him keep bodyguards around wherever he went?
"Come with me. I'm taking you to meet someone."
Without explaining anything, Julius strode out of the office. Madeline had lots of questions in mind, but she still followed him out.
After getting in the car, she noticed that the route was getting more and more familiar. Pretty soon, the car pulled over in front of the Powell Group's gate.
"This is our destination?" she asked.
After he got off the car, she didn't follow him right away.
She stared at the tall building before them first. It had been so long since she was last here. She could still remember what happened the last time she was here.
She pleaded to Jorge for money in order to save her mother. But in the end, he refused her mercilessly.
Thoughts of what the Powell family had done to her filled her with fury.
Tears soon welled up in her eyes, gleaming beneath the sunshine. When Julius saw her holding back her tears, his heart ached for her.
He was wondering what sort of thought would make her this sad.
"The person I want you to meet is in there."
Having said that, he opened the door for her.
After a moment of hesitation, Madeline got out of the car.
There was nothing for her to be afraid of. Jorge already knew that she had returned, so there was no more need to hide from him.
Perhaps noticing how nervous and angry she was, he put his arm on her shoulder. Thereafter, they walked in side by side.
Julius' intuition told him thot the child wos definitely not her best friend's.
About holf on hour loter, he wos finolly done with work. Upon seeing him shut down the computer, the bored Modeline sprong to her feet.

The receptionist grabbed the phone, ready to call the CEO's office. But then, Julius stopped her.
"You don't have to call him. I'll go upstairs directly."
Having said that, he walked into the elevator with Madeline, leaving the receptionist no chance to react.
Madeline just followed behind him in a daze. She was confused about something. Did he want her to meet Jorge?
Without even knocking, Julius opened the door to Jorge's office and came in.
At this time, Jorge was reading some documents. He sensed that someone had entered the room. Annoyed, he looked up and met Julius' stern gaze.
"Ah, Mr. Glyn, what brings you here? Why didn't you call me in advance? I would've gone downstairs to welcome you."
Jorge smiled, walking to Julius with a courteous expression.
But when he came over, his eyes fell on Madeline and his face immediately turned pale. He had thought that Julius just came along with a secretary.
"Hello, Mr. Powell!"
Seeing that he froze, Madeline smirked at him, watching him with amusement.
"Um… it's nice to meet you. Mr. Glyn, is she your girlfriend? I saw her on the news with you before." Jorge was panicking, but he maintained his composure and acted like nothing had happened yesterday.
Madeline was staring at him in amusement. They hadn't seen each other for a few years, and she could tell that he had become so much better at acting.
"You really don't know my girlfriend, Mr. Powell? Think about your answer carefully before saying it. When and where did you last see her? Did you run into her yesterday?" asked Julius.
Jorge became even more flustered.
Jorge became even more flustered.
Madeline stared at Julius, visibly confused. Did he know about what had really happened yesterday?
"Well, um… What are you implying, Mr. Glyn? I can't quite understand,"
Jorge stammered nervously, his lips turning pale.
"Have I failed to make it clear enough for you?"
Julius' voice sounded calm, but his icy gaze made Jorge shiver.
"Of course, not. That's not what I meant."
Jorge wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, uncertain of what to say next.
He glared at the woman beside them. He thought that this damned woman had told on him. He was her uncle, for God's sake! How could she be so cruel?
"Jorge, did you know that she's my girlfriend when you tried to hurt her yesterday?" Julius grunted.
He had intentionally declared that she was his girlfriend to the public to avoid unnecessary trouble like this one.
However, Jorge didn't seem to take his words seriously.
"Hurt her? I don't know what you're talking about, Mr. Glyn. Is this some sort of misunderstanding?"
While Jorge was speaking, his legs grew so weak. He could no longer look at Julius in the eye.
Julius scoffed.
He then showed a video to him.
"This is the security footage from the bar yesterday. Are you still planning to deny it? How dare you hurt my woman, Jorge?"
Jorge watched the video on the smartphone and his face soon turned pale. He was so horrified that he collapsed to the floor.
After glancing at the video, Madeline turned her gaze to Julius. She didn't expect that he'd actually retrieve the security footage of the bar.
So, he came here just to get revenge for her after he had finished work?
"Mr. Glyn, she's my niece, but she didn't even visit us after coming back from abroad. I was mad at her, so…"
Having heard what he said, Julius narrowed his eyes and finally understood what was going on.
It turned out that Madeline really was a member of the Powell family. Why didn't Stephen find out about this?
Everything about the Powell family was known to him. As long as he conducted an investigation, he'd know about everything. However, this woman was the exception.
Jorge become even more flustered.
Modeline stored ot Julius, visibly confused. Did he know obout whot hod reolly hoppened yesterdoy?
"Well, um… Whot ore you implying, Mr. Glyn? I con't quite understond,"
Jorge stommered nervously, his lips turning pole.
"Hove I foiled to moke it cleor enough for you?"
Julius' voice sounded colm, but his icy goze mode Jorge shiver.
"Of course, not. Thot's not whot I meont."
Jorge wiped the beods of sweot on his foreheod, uncertoin of whot to soy next.
He glored ot the womon beside them. He thought thot this domned womon hod told on him. He wos her uncle, for God's soke! How could she be so cruel?

The receptionist grabbed the phone, ready to call the CEO's office. But then, Julius stopped her.
"You don't have to call him. I'll go upstairs directly."
Having said that, he walked into the elevator with Madeline, leaving the receptionist no chance to react.
Madeline just followed behind him in a daze. She was confused about something. Did he want her to meet Jorge?
Without even knocking, Julius opened the door to Jorge's office and came in.
At this time, Jorge was reading some documents. He sensed that someone had entered the room. Annoyed, he looked up and met Julius' stern gaze.
"Ah, Mr. Glyn, what brings you here? Why didn't you call me in advance? I would've gone downstairs to welcome you."
Jorge smiled, walking to Julius with a courteous expression.
But when he came over, his eyes fell on Madeline and his face immediately turned pale. He had thought that Julius just came along with a secretary.
"Hello, Mr. Powell!"
Seeing that he froze, Madeline smirked at him, watching him with amusement.
"Um… it's nice to meet you. Mr. Glyn, is she your girlfriend? I saw her on the news with you before." Jorge was panicking, but he maintained his composure and acted like nothing had happened yesterday.
Madeline was staring at him in amusement. They hadn't seen each other for a few years, and she could tell that he had become so much better at acting.
"You really don't know my girlfriend, Mr. Powell? Think about your answer carefully before saying it. When and where did you last see her? Did you run into her yesterday?" asked Julius.
Jorge became even more flustered.
Jorge became even more flustered.
Madeline stared at Julius, visibly confused. Did he know about what had really happened yesterday?
"Well, um… What are you implying, Mr. Glyn? I can't quite understand,"
Jorge stammered nervously, his lips turning pale.
"Have I failed to make it clear enough for you?"
Julius' voice sounded calm, but his icy gaze made Jorge shiver.
"Of course, not. That's not what I meant."
Jorge wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, uncertain of what to say next.
He glared at the woman beside them. He thought that this damned woman had told on him. He was her uncle, for God's sake! How could she be so cruel?
"Jorge, did you know that she's my girlfriend when you tried to hurt her yesterday?" Julius grunted.
He had intentionally declared that she was his girlfriend to the public to avoid unnecessary trouble like this one.
However, Jorge didn't seem to take his words seriously.
"Hurt her? I don't know what you're talking about, Mr. Glyn. Is this some sort of misunderstanding?"
While Jorge was speaking, his legs grew so weak. He could no longer look at Julius in the eye.
Julius scoffed.
He then showed a video to him.
"This is the security footage from the bar yesterday. Are you still planning to deny it? How dare you hurt my woman, Jorge?"
Jorge watched the video on the smartphone and his face soon turned pale. He was so horrified that he collapsed to the floor.
After glancing at the video, Madeline turned her gaze to Julius. She didn't expect that he'd actually retrieve the security footage of the bar.
So, he came here just to get revenge for her after he had finished work?
"Mr. Glyn, she's my niece, but she didn't even visit us after coming back from abroad. I was mad at her, so…"
Having heard what he said, Julius narrowed his eyes and finally understood what was going on.
It turned out that Madeline really was a member of the Powell family. Why didn't Stephen find out about this?
Everything about the Powell family was known to him. As long as he conducted an investigation, he'd know about everything. However, this woman was the exception.
Jorge become even more flustered.
