Chapter 13 Though the legal advisor worked for Stanton Group , it was Juliana who had helped him get the job . He figured that , no matter what , he should at least let Juliana know what was going on . As he walked away , he pulled out his phone , intending to call Juliana , but then he saw her walking toward him from the front desk . The legal advisor couldn't help but admire her as she approached . The young woman wore a black sleeveless turtleneck and high- waisted black pants that draped beautifully , perfectly complementing her tall frame . Her energy , the cascade of long hair , and the confident stride she carried herself with made her look like a force of nature . She carried a luxury tote and had a trench coat draped casually over her wrist . Her presence exuded a relaxed yet confident charm that was both mature and graceful , with an unmistakable self- assuredness . Chapter 13 It was rumored that she had even gotten her private pilot's license . She had also successfully scaled extremely high - altitude ice mountains on multiple occasions . A woman like her - confident , independent , and stunning - was truly one in a million . It was said that Grover had pursued her for a long time . So why was he now seeking a divorce ? " Ms. Everett , what brings you here ? " The legal advisor greeted her respectfully . " Well , Everett Group and Stanton Group have business dealings , " Juliana said , immediately picking up on the tone in his voice . " You seem like you have something on your mind . Is there an issue at work ? " The legal advisor shook his head . " Could I … speak with you for a moment ? " " Is it work - related or personal ? " Juliana asked , sensing something more . " It … concerns you , " he replied quietly . " No need ," she said confidently , looking him directly in the eye . Chapter 13 " If there's something at Stanton Group you need to discuss , you can speak to me directly " The legal advisor hesitated , his expression worried . " Grover wants a divorce . " Juliana paused for a moment , then let out a cool smile . " Tracie … she really dug her own grave . This is for the best . " " What did you say ? " The legal advisor was taken aback . " An … average woman who sold her body , schemed against Grover , and ended up with a marriage license , " Juliana said with disgust , as though the very mention of such a woman could contaminate her . The legal advisor immediately understood . " I know what to do now . I'll get to work , Ms. Everett ." " Good ." He walked into Grover's office and saw him just hanging up the phone . " You're right on time . Wendi wants you to come with me to pick her up from school , " Grover said , looking up with an appreciative glance at Juliana . Juliana smiled faintly . " Sure . " Chapter 13 After work , the two of them went to pick up Wendi from kindergarten together . Wendi was a huge fan of Juliana . As soon as she saw her , she grabbed her hand and refused to let go . When they got home , the two of them continued holding hands , chatting and laughing as they walked into the villa . " Juliana , next time you go rock climbing , you have to take me with you ! I want to learn how to climb too ! " Juliana teased , " Just don't cry from being scared , okay ? " " I won't ! " Wendi proudly raised her chin . " If I get scared and cry , I'll give you my latest Stitch plushie , Juliana ! " Juliana couldn't help but laugh . " Okay…" The scene looked so harmonious , like a mother and daughter , that even the housemaids couldn't help but smile . At that moment , Eunice Shepard came out of the kitchen , and Wendi immediately called out to her . " Eunice , I want steak for dinner , the tenderest kind ." She hadn't had steak in over a week . She used to eat a whole plate every meal . Chapter 13 After asking Eunice , Wendi turned to Juliana and asked , " Do you want steak , Juliana ? " " I'd love it ! " Juliana said . Eunice's expression changed slightly . " Oh ? " Chapter 14
