Chapter 19 After hearing Noah's words , Julia fell silent for a moment . She knew how proud Noah was , yet here he was , asking her this kind of question . Worried she might say something that would break his heart , Noah spoke first . " Julia , I can accept it if you choose Oliver over me , but I can't take it if you come to me and then leave me for him . Could you not go to the shareholders ' meeting today ? " Julia had said many times she was done with Oliver , but if she truly didn't care , why make a point of attending the Miller Corporation shareholders ' meeting in Harbour City ? Seeing how insecure Noah looked , Julia was reminded of herself three years ago - when Emily left the country and Oliver flew out to see her every month . Back then , Julia had asked Oliver , " Can't you stay ? " Oliver had simply told her no . Now , Julia met Noah's eyes and answered seriously , " I have to go to the shareholders ' meeting today , but I'm not going to get back together with Oliver . I'm going because I want payback for everything I've suffered in the past few years . " She wasn't a saint . She wanted to make Oliver and Emily pay twofold for everything they had done to her . Julia stood on her tiptoes and cupped Noah's face . " Noah , I chose you , and I won't choose anyone else . As long as you're loyal to me , I'll never leave you . " That was her promise to him . For the past three years , she and Noah had lived every day on edge . So now , she wanted to give him the security he needed . Just moments before , Noah had been anxious and restless , but after hearing Julia's words , a smile spread across his lips . " I trust you . No matter what you say , I believe you . But if you're really going for revenge , having just those Miller Corporation shares isn't enough . I'll call in a few more allies for you . ' 11 Meanwhile , in Harbour City , Oliver had just arrived at Miller Corporation when Maxwell called . " Mr. Miller , there's a problem . Emily refuses to terminate the pregnancy . She's disred . " Annoyed , Oliver yanked his tie loose , and his gaze grew dark . " Find her ! No matter what , find that child ! " If that child weren't dealt with , there would always be a rift between him and Julia . Just as he entered his office , he saw Emily sitting in his chair . She'd been struggling with morning sickness . Her cheeks were sunken and pale . Seeing her , Oliver's expression turned icy . " Why are you here ? Didn't I schedule an appointment foldin you to terminate the pregnancy ? " Emily stiffened . She never imagined that the words " terminate the pregnancy " would roll so easily off Oliver's Three years ago , she would've left without hesitation . tongue . But now , her reputation was already in shambles , and no one in their circle would marry her . Even Martin had threatened to cut her off . If she couldn't win Oliver back , she would be cast out from the Evans family , too . Emily took a shaky breath and pulled out a doctor's report from her bag . " This child can't be terminated , " she said firmly . Oliver's gaze was ice cold . It made Emily's skin crawl , but she forced herself to hold her ground . " When I was a child , I injured my uterus saving you . The doctor said if I lose this baby , I'll never be able to have children again . " You can love Julia all you want , but you can't deny that I saved your life back then . You can't treat me like this ! " Oliver's expression changed instantly . He'd expected Emily to try all kinds of tricks to keep the child , but not this one . He might not love Emily anymore , but her saving his life when they were kids had been real . Noticing that he was wavering , Emily pressed her advantage , She grabbed his hand . " Oliver , forget about Julia . She's been gone for so long , and she's never once reached out to you . Maybe she's already found someone else . " I've always been here for you , and now I'm having your child . Why can't we just be together and build a family ? " She clung tighter and tighter to his hand , but Oliver slowly pried her fingers away . His expression was blank . " I do want a family , just not with you . " With that , Emily's knees buckled , and she nearly collapsed to the floor . She couldn't believe that the man who once loved her so deeply could say such things . It had only been half a month , but all she could find In Oliver's expression when he looked at her was disgust . His harsh words continued . " You and Martin played a big part in what happened between Julia and me . The fact I'm letting you and the Evans Corporation stay afloat is already more mercy than you deserve . " He'd never spoken so coldly to her before . After a long silence , Oliver finally made his decision . " Do whatever you want with the child . I won't acknowledge the child . If you want to have this baby and let it grow up without a father , that's on you . I don't care . "
