Now , she realized he'd simply loved the wrong person . But none of that mattered anymore . With all the shareholders present , Julia made it official and called for a vote to remove Oliver from his position as CEO .

At that moment , all the humiliation and heartbreak Julia had suffered over the years was finally swept away . She had done what she wanted . Rising from her seat , she shot Oliver a cold , dismissive look . " Oliver , you've paid back everything you owed me . From now on , we're even . Let's never see each other again .

She nodded . " Alright . " you out . need a word with Oliver . " ད་ While waiting outside , Julia heard a fight break out behind the boardroom doors , but she didn't intervene . She believed that Noah wouldn't get hurt . Soon , Noah emerged , holding his suit jacket in one arm . His white shirt was splattered with blood , but none of it was his Oliver followed close behind . There was blood on his lip and temple . His eyes were swollen from where he'd been hit . Julia ignored him ; she looked only at Noah. " Are you hurt ? " Noah smiled . " I'm fine . I told you I'd help you get your revenge . " Julia gave a shaky smile . Her eyes shone with unshed tears . " Thank you . " At that moment , Oliver finally understood that Julia didn't love him anymore . She truly loved Noah , and he had lost everything . With her fingers tightly entwined with Noah's , Julia said , " Let's go home . " As they reached the elevators , Oliver's anguished voice rang out from behind them " Julia ! If I hadn't made that mistake all those years ago , would we have ended up like this ? " He had never cried in front of Julia before . This was the first time . Julia paused for a moment but didn't turn around . " Oliver , does it even matter ? In this world if you make a mistake , you have to live with it . " I never wanted love out of gratitude . I wanted someone who truly loved me . If you only want to be with me because I saved your life , that's not the love I want . " Maybe even if you hadn't made that mistake , we still wouldn't have worked out , " No matter how much Oliver called after her , Julia never looked back . She just took Noah's hand and walked out of Miller Corporation for good . Julia didn't keep the Miller Corporation shares for long . She sold them the very next day to Oliver's biggest rival . Within days , that rival forced Oliver out of the company . Meanwhile , at the hotel , Julia looped her arms around Noah's waist and teased , " I've sold the Miller Corporation shares . Are you still jealous ? " Noah , who had been quietly sulking , no longer hid his jealousy . He pulled her onto the counter , pinned her against the cold mirror behind her , and pressed his warm lips to hers . He pa more pressure on her waist , enough to make julia gasp . With a sly grin , he said , " You sold Miller Corporation to his greatest enemy . Aren't you afraid he'll hate you forever ? " Julia just shrugged . " That's hits business , not mine . Or do you really want me to hang on to something from my ex - husband ? I didn't know you were so EXTITOUS " Chapter 24 2/2 Noah just smiled , lifting her up in his arms . Julia tightened her grip around his neck . Her heart was fluttering from the sudden motion . She knew Noah was being a little possessive , but she didn't mind . At least she knew he truly loved her . His lips brushed against her ear . " I came all the way to Harbour City for you . Don't you think you owe me a little something ? " Noah had never been in a relationship before , but he knew more than Julia did . Even the smallest gesture from him made her whole body tingle , leaving her breathless . After that , Noah didn't give Julia another chance to speak . For the next three days , Julia hardly left their suite . Noah had reserved all the presidential suites on that floor , so no one else was allowed in . The only sounds coming from the room were Julia's occasional moans . Since she was exhausted , they spent two extra days in Harbour City before heading back to Jelburge . On the day they were set to leave , Julia spotted Oliver and Martin standing outside the hotel entrance .
