A Night with Her Cruel Mate

Chapter 42 Go Home With Terence

"Julia," Jean called out as she walked to her sister. "If I were you, I would be figuring out a way to resolve the on-going crisis, instead of coming here to find out the reasons why we did it.

I'm actually doing this to help you. You're an actress, but you've never been famous. After you receive attention from this, you'll want to thank me for it." Jean laughed with amusement.

"Jean, don't be so cocky," Julia retorted, her face darkening into a scowl. "I've been in this industry for many years and I've seen all types of scandals occur. If you think that you can put me down by slandering me, then you are obviously too naive."

"Really?" A sarcastic grin appeared on Jean's face. "That's great. I was afraid that you wouldn't able to withstand it. Then I would probably have less fun."

Julia narrowed her eyes at Jean and turned to glare at her mother. "I will never forget what you did to me," she spat with anger. "This is the last time I will ever call you my mother. From now on, we will be strangers. Even if I see you on the street, I will not look at you. I hope you remember what you did to me. If you can't live on your own, don't bother asking me for help."

"Julia, I..." Mandy wanted to say something, but cowered when she saw Jean's scowl.

She watched Julia storm out of the room, doing nothing.

Her lips moved, but no sound came out.

"What? Do you feel sorry for her?" Jean scoffed in disbelief.

"No, it's not like that," Mandy argued in a rush. "I'm just worried about you. What if Julia does something bad to you? What if you won't be able to deal with it?"

"You don't have to worry about it." Jean walked over to the windows and looked out. "It's just Julia. I can handle her."

She watched as Julia angrily rush out of the villa. Just when she was about to exit, Sherry went after her.

"Mrs. Chen, please wait for me。" Sherry panted as she caught up with Julia. "This is your favorite food. Even since you left, I've wanted to visit you, but I don't know where you live."

Julia was moved when she looked at Sherry's sincere expression.

She gently looked at the girl and replied with a smile, "Thank you."

Sherry gave Julia the lunch box and sighed, "Mrs. Chen, I read the news. I don't believe that you are the person they described you to be. But..."

"But what?"

"They are planning on taking you down. You need to be more careful," Sherry warned with concern. It made Julia feel very saddened by the fact that they wanted to ruin her.

She had always felt as if she didn't belong in this house, but now she realized that Sherry cared about her.

Julia's eyes turned misty and red. She looked at Sherry with a gentle gaze. "Don't worry, I'm fine. But you..."

She sighed with a bitter smile. "I'm not here anymore, so please be careful. Don't let her bully you."

"Don't worry," Sherry assured with a smile. "I don't care. I don't want to serve her anyway."

Sherry didn't like Jean at all. When she was a child, her parents had gotten divorced because another woman was involved. So no matter how nice Jean was to her, she couldn't bring herself to like her.

Sherry stared at Julia and offered, "Mrs. Chen, if you want to eat the food that I cook, then you can call me anytime. I will bring it to you myself." Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

"Thank you." Julia nodded in response.

Jean's eyes blazed with anger as she saw the tender conversation taking place between Sherry and Julia.

Jean knew that a lot of the maids didn't like her, but Sherry was the first to blatantly show Julia such kindness.

If Jean didn't take action, then she would have no dignity or respect as the villa's new hostess.

"Have you seen it?" Jean asked Mandy, who standing right next to her.

Mandy looked down and groaned, "I have already reminded you."

"Mom, I can't do it now. You're going to have to do it. I'll give you a week. After that, I don't want to see Sherry here again." 'I will soon be in charge of this house. I will not tolerate a maid who deliberately ignores me.'

Mandy looked at Jean; it felt like she was a stranger. But without any hesitation, Mandy agreed to help her. "Don't worry, I'll do it."

After leaving the villa, Julia didn't know where to go. So she drove Eric's car around the city.

She couldn't go back to Consuela's house, since it was still surrounded by the media. Not knowing where to go, she mindlessly drove to HT Group.

When she arrived, she saw Terence. Groaning, she intended to leave quietly, but Eric's sports car was too eye-catching. Terence easily spotted the car just as she was about to leave. When he saw the person sitting in the driver's seat, he quickly approached the vehicle.

Although she wanted to leave, she couldn't find the courage to do so.

Terence tapped on the window, signaling for her to open the door. After hesitating for a while, she unlocked the car.

Terence got in and sat in the passenger's seat and looked at her with arched eye brows. "Why did you come here instead of staying at home?"

As soon as Julia heard that, she knew that Terence had watched the news.

This scandal seemed to promote a lot of discussion.

Even though Terence didn't like watching entertainment news, he still found out about it.

"I..." Julia stammered, looking at the people entering and exiting the gate of HT Group. "I don't know where I can go."

"Get out of the driver's seat." Without saying another word, Terence and Julia switched places. He then drove straight to his house.

When they were still married, Julia had always wanted to come here to fulfill her wifely duties, even if it was just to help him clean up.

Unfortunately, Terence never gave her the chance to do so.

Julia didn't expect that the first time she would enter Terence's house was when they had already gotten divorced. It was ridiculous.
