Juliana panicked completely. She feared that Jackson would confess his feelings for her by taking
advantage of the situation.
By then, she wouldn’t be able to explain herself.
Juliana wanted to call Jackson, but she didn’t know what to say.
Flirting discreetly was the highest form of affection in a relationship. Denying or admitting one’s feelings
would be deemed inferior.
Moreover, she didn’t want to lose such a loyal dog like Jackson! While considering countermeasures,
Sophia called her.
Sophia previously thought it was Jackson being impulsive, but after seeing the photos, she realized
Juliana had a problem,
too.
What sister would hold her brother’s face and look at him affectionately?
What sister would lean on her brother’s chest and intertwine her fingers with his?
What sister would tie her brother’s tie and adjust his belt for him?
At the thought of this, Sophia clenched her phone tightly and waited for Juliana to answer the phone.
Even though Juliana didn’t dare to answer the phone, she had no choice but to do so.
After taking a deep breath, she then answered the call before it automatically hung up.
As soon as the call went through, Sophia’s angry voice was heard. “I want an explanation of the
photos, Julia!”
In the past, she thought Juliana was pure and kind, generous. and elegant, virtuous and talented. She
was Sophia’s pride.

Nevertheless, after what Juliana did, she began to doubt that all the good traits Juliana possessed
were nothing more than a facade.
Having heard Sophia’s roaring at her for the first time, Juliana’s heart ski**ed a beat and tears fell down
her cheeks.
“Mom, there’s nothing between me and Jack. The p-photos were taken out of context.”
“You mean Jackson threatened you to take those photos?”
Juliana heard the sarcasm in her words. Her face suddenly turned pale.
Women were always sensitive about relationship matters. Sophia must have noticed she was
pretending to be intimate with Jackson.
“That’s not what I meant, Mom. My relationship with Jack has always been good, but I forgot the sense
of boundaries. It was my fault and I will never do it again.”
Hearing Juliana’s s*bs, Sophia felt irritated for no reason.
“Shut up. What right do you have to cry? If it weren’t for you, the Yancey family wouldn’t have had such
a big scandal!”
Juliana was taken aback by the yell, and her crying stopped immediately.
How could this happen?
In the past, crying was her most powerful weapon, and everyone would go soft on her.
But now, it no longer worked anymore.
Juliana couldn’t let this happen. If it went on like this, she would completely lose the Yancey family’s
cash cow.
“Mom, it’s all my fault. I will resolve this scandal, no matter what the cost is.”
After that, she hung up the phone.

Despite feeling something was off with Juliana’s words, Sophia did not give it much thought since she
was still angry.
It wasn’t until she saw the new post on Juliana’s official Twitter account that she realized it.
[I didn’t expect that the private photos of me and my brother, Jack, would cause such a big
misunderstanding. Those photos were merely staged. I had asked for his help to test out some styling
for wedding photos, but I didn’t expect that they would be misunderstood by everyone. Even though I
have no idea how the photos were spread and the person who wanted to tarnish my reputation, I
congratulate them on their success in doing so. Although I know everyone will not believe whatever I’ve
said and will assume that I am defending myself, I will prove my innocence.]
After this post, everyone was waiting for Juliana to prove her innocence.
As it turned out, she had simply posted a very poetic message.
[The world is so big and the road ahead is so long, but my body feels so cold…] Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Upon seeing the post, Cecilia said, “You’re so cruel to yourself, Juliana!”
It was because she guessed that Juliana wanted to prove her innocence by ending her own life.
Even though it was a dumb trick, it was useful.
Netizens had also guessed that Juliana was going to take her own life, which led to a very lively
comment section.
[Can you stop making death threats? This trick is way too outdated now, all right? If you dare, just show
us that you’re really willing to die!]
[I’m really anxious to know whether Juliana is going to cut her wrists, jump off the building, or hang
herself?]
[Definitely the first option, since it’s the easiest for her to be

To the commentator above, don’t be so vicious. We’re talking about a human life here. Do you think
you would be at peace if something really happened to Juliana?]
[That’s right. Even if the photos were real, and Juliana is
messing around with her brother, it’s just morally corrupt.]
[Quit arguing. I’ve contacted the hospital. Let’s just wait for the outcome…]
Meanwhile, Juliana was lying in the bathroom of the VIP ward. Blood trickled out of her wrist, dripping
on the clean, white foor
To be realistic, she had cut herself deeply.
The rapid loss of blood took away her body warmth, making her feel as if she had fallen into an ice
cellar.
Her sight gradually blurred and darkness came.
Engulfed by fear, she felt terrified and subconsciously wanted to cover her wrist
However, she was awoken by the sound of the door opening.
Upon rushing into the bathroom, the doctor frowned at the strong stench of blood.
Meanwhile, a journalist disguised as a nurse was secretly recording everything on the livestream.
Juliana leaned against the shower’s frosted glass door, resting her left hand on the floor tiles and
placing her right hand on Eer waist
Blood gushed out from the wound on her wrist, flowing toward the drain on the ground.
Her pale face was soon turning translucent, and her pupils were dilated. Her body reeked of death.
Upon seeing the doctor, she felt relieved and fainted soon after.
The doctor managed to catch Juliana before she fell to the ground.
After stopping the bleeding urgently, she was sent to the emergency room.
Juliana’s acting was so real that almost everyone believed she really wanted to die.
The journalist’s live-streaming channel was crowded, and #Juliana was forced to end her own life#
surged up the trending topic in the blink of an eye.
After the Yancey family learned about the news, they were so worried that all of them came to the
hospital.
Juliana had come out of the emergency room, but she had lost too much blood and was still in a coma.
Sophia’s eyes reddened when she saw the bandage on Juliana’s wrist.
She called the attending doctor Kevin over and asked anxiously, “How is my daughter?”
“She’s still in danger. The wound is too deep and there’s too much blood loss. It’s a good thing that the
hospital just happened to have spare blood bags, otherwise Ms. Yancey…”
Even though Kevin didn’t finish his sentence, everyone knew what he meant.
However, they didn’t know that Juliana had confirmed that the hospital had kept an inventory of Rh-
negative blood type blood bags before she planned her stunt.
It was the blood that Cecilia had forced her to draw previously. It just so happened that the blood was
now used on her instead.
Sophia’s body swayed. She deeply regretted the harsh remarks she had made before to Juliana.
“Julia won’t have any after-effects, will she?”
“This can only be confirmed after Ms. Yancey wakes up and
The True Larly Strikes Back

finishes various health examinations.”
Before leaving, Kevin reminded Sophia, “Ms. Yancey is very weak. Don’t give her blood supplements to
prevent overdosing.”
“Understood.”
After Kevin left, Sophia walked to the bedside and carefully held Juliana’s hand.
She looked at Jackson and growled in a low voice, “How did those photos get leaked out?”
“I had someone check my phone. Someone hacked it and stolet the photos.”
“It must be Cecilia. There’s no one else except her!” Sophia said angrily, “Just call the police!”
