Goodbye, Ex-husband! I'm Pregnant with Your Uncle's Child!-Chapter 74 - He Let Me Swipe at Will

The conference room was left with only Julia.

It was very quiet.

She suddenly chuckled softly.

Actually, she had another guess.

Whichever guess it was, it didn’t matter anymore.

Thinking that this photo could threaten her?

That was laughable.

What did others’ gazes have to do with her?

What did it matter if people pointed fingers and talked?

Julia casually folded the photo and strode out of the conference room with it.

Grace Land got into her car and sighed in relief, finally resolving this crisis for the Langston Family.

She believed Julia would choose the most beneficial option for herself.

Grace Land first called Cory Langston, informing him that Julia agreed to give the Langston Family seventy billion.

“Wife, you always find a way,” Cory Langston, who had been pleading for help during this period, also relaxed, “How did she agree?”

Grace Land said softly, “Anyway, I gave birth to her.”

“You’re right.” Cory nodded on the other end of the phone.

Grace thought of her younger daughter, “Stella cannot marry Mr.

Wang.”

This time, Cory also conceded, feeling sorry for his own daughter, “Once Julia transfers the money to me, I will go and apologize to Mr.

Wang.

When is she transferring the money?”

Grace replied, “Within three days.”

The couple ended their call.

Grace thought of the photo she had given to Julia today.

Her daughter was indeed smart, quickly guessing that the photo was sent by the old dean.

She also remembered which year she had received the photo.

It was the year Julia turned ten when she received the photo, but she would not tell Julia that.

When she received the photo, her only thought was to prevent the Langston Family from knowing this shameful secret.

That’s why she kept it secret and never considered bringing Julia to the Langston Family.

She dared not call the police on the old dean either.

Because the old dean had once called her, threatening to harm her daughter if she did not give him money.

Grace Land had not given him the money and chose to ignore it, leading to the subsequent photo.

She had only been married into the Langston Family for two years at that time, and it was hard on her; she could not be blamed.

Grace Land clenched the handbag in her hand, deciding not to think further about Julia.

Upon returning to the Langston Family home, as soon as she entered, her younger daughter ran over.

“Mom, you worked hard.”

Stella kindly took the bag from Grace Land’s hand.

“Don’t worry, your sister agreed.”

With Grace Land’s words, Stella also felt relieved.

“Mom, thank you.”

When it was time to leave work, Julia shut down her computer punctually and clocked out.

Thomas Sullivan had something to discuss with Julia, but after failing to reach her through the office phone, he called her personal phone only to find out she had already left work.

Julia, steering with one hand, answered Thomas’s call, “It’s time to leave work, what’s up?”

Thomas ground his teeth, annoyed that she had left work earlier than him, the boss, “May is going shopping at the mall, if you’re free, could you help me accompany her to swipe the card?”

Julia didn’t really want to go, but since she wasn’t in a good mood today, she decided to go shopping too.

“Okay, send me the address.”

When May Woods saw Julia, she instantly recognized her as the secretary who had come to the school with Thomas that day.

“Where’s Mr.

Sullivan?” May looked behind Julia, saw no one, and was a bit vexed.

“The chairman is still busy with work at the company, so he asked me to accompany Miss Woods shopping,” Julia Land said with a smile.

The two didn’t really know each other, and May Woods initially looked a bit displeased, but when Julia went to swipe her card for every purchase, she cheered up.

Arabella Shaw didn’t expect to run into Julia Land.

“Secretary Land, I want to buy this dress.

Go swipe the card.”

While Julia went to pay, May Woods held the dress up to the mirror, checking her reflection repeatedly.

Arabella looked at the dress in May’s hands and smiled, “The dress is beautiful.”

May turned to see a woman in sunglasses, looking somewhat familiar, “Thank you.”

“Are you a friend of Julia Land?”

“Do you know Secretary Land?

We’re not friends; she’s my man’s secretary.”

A flicker of interest showed in Arabella’s eyes.

Julia really seemed down on her luck, accompanying her boss’s girlfriend shopping.

When Julia came back from paying, she acted as if she didn’t know Arabella.

She turned to May Woods, “Miss Woods, do you want to buy anything else?”

May did want to keep shopping, but knowing she should think long-term, she was worried Thomas Sullivan might dump her if she spent too much.

“No need, just these for today.”

Feeling a bit disappointed.

Arabella picked a dress, glanced sideways at Julia, “Julia, long time no see.

What are you buying?

I never thought your job description would be like this.”

Julia sensed the mockery in Arabella’s words.

She smiled graciously, “Miss Shaw sang ‘Leap’ beautifully on the show, just a pity you didn’t get this season’s New Talent award.”

Touching the nerve.

Arabella was silently cursing Julia; she handed the dress to a salesperson, “The new season’s dresses, deliver them to Imperial View Gardens in my size.”

She was always a major customer of this store.

When May heard Julia mention the song ‘Leap’, she also remembered who the sunglass-wearing woman was.

She complimented, “Miss Shaw, you look much better in person than on TV.”

“Thank you.”

“Julia, last time you sent the doll to little Beibei, I haven’t thanked you,” Arabella playfully said, “How about I buy you some clothes now?

I have Noah’s card with me, spend as much as you want.”

Julia smiled, “Oh, that’s okay, I’ve already bought a lot.”

Arabella sneered internally, sure, bought a lot, more like bought a lot while accompanying the boss’s girlfriend.

The Langston Family’s supermarket was about to go bankrupt; Julia probably wouldn’t have much money in the future either.

At that moment, the store manager approached, holding a bill, “Miss Land, sorry to keep you waiting.”

“Thank you,” Julia said with a light laugh as she took the bill.

May curiously peered at the bill, clicking her tongue as she counted the string of zeros, “Secretary Land, you actually spent three million all at once.”

Really rich.

Julia responded with a dazzling smile, “My boyfriend’s credit card is with me; he told me to spend freely.”

“Wow, your boyfriend is really nice!” May was truly filled with envy and jealousy.

Standing by, Arabella’s thoughts shifted to Mr.

Thompson, and she suddenly felt cooler.

That smacked-in-the-face feeling.

Julia had an even richer boyfriend.

Julia handed the bill to Arabella to see, “Miss Shaw, you really don’t need to buy me clothes, I bought a lot tonight, too much to wear.”

“…….”

Arabella felt uncomfortable, “No need then, I have other things to attend to, I’ll go now.”

The living room was lit with a warm yellow light.

A man on the couch crossed his legs, his phone resting on them.

Asleep on the couch, Julia Land squinted her eyes as she woke, raising her hand to shield her eyes, then turned over, the suit jacket covering her falling to the floor.

She moved her hand away from her eyes and saw James Thompson, “What time is it?”

She had accompanied May Woods shopping at the mall and returned home, intending to lie down for a rest, not expecting to fall asleep.

She stretched and stood up.

The pale skin around her waist became visible.

“Ten o’clock.”

James rose, picking up the suit from the floor to place it back on the couch.

“Did you enjoy shopping today?”

He had received the notification about the millions spent from his credit card while he was still in a meeting.

James lifted Julia, settling her onto his lap.
