Chapter 120 I Need Your Help
Yuliana was a natural beauty as her facial features were exquisite, elegant, and graceful. She had a unique aura
that resembled the morning mist, radiating a clean and refreshing feeling while cooling simultaneously. Yuliana
even looked unlike others when she frowned or lowered her eyes.
Scarlett, an upper-class socialite, was a beauty. She, too, possessed a charming aura. However, Scarlett felt like she
had lost to Yuliana when she stood before the latter.
Margaret glanced at Scarlett and sighed abruptly. Her words hinted at something when she said, “I’m sorry,
Scarlett. I’m used to calling Yuliana that way, so I misspoke.”
Margaret paused for a moment, glanced at Yuliana, and smiled. “I forgot that Harry had already divorced Ms.
Livingstone, so it’s not appropriate to refer to her as my sister-in-law anymore.”
Margaret was not a fan of Yuliana. She had to treat Yuliana with respect even though she despised the latter before
since she had to consider Damian’s identity. Margaret thought, “But now that Damian has been sent to jail, Yuliana
is just an inmate’s daughter! How dare she act arrogantly before me? What’s more? Even Harry is still trying to
protect her!”
Yuliana ignored Margaret’s words for she knew Margaret was trying to get a rise out of her.
She meticulously checked the coat’s quality, materials, and size of the coat in her hands to ensure it had no
defects. Yuliana wanted to pass it to the sales assistant so she could pay the bill later at the checkout counter when
she was done shopping.
However, Scarlett greeted her suddenly, “Hello, Ms. Livingstone!”
Yuliana glanced at her, nodded, and answered indifferently, “Hi.”
“Yuliana, I’m guessing you are not aware of this!” Margaret gave her an implicit smile. “Scarlett is Harry’s current
girlfriend. They are talking about getting married now. Maybe a few months later, she will become my sister-in-law.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMargaret thought her words would anger or agitate Yuliana. Yet, Yuliana remained calm after listening to her
remarks.
She even congratulated Scarlett with a smile. “Congratulations.”
Margaret snorted coldly. She mused, “Yuliana is just pretending to be gracious and calm. She must be hiding her
jealousy!”
Scarlett thanked Yuliana before she looked at the coat in Yuliana’s hands, asking, “Ms. Livingstone, are you here to
purchase some clothes for your boyfriend?”
Even though Scarlett had not shown any hostility toward Yuliana with her words, Yuliana was an observant woman.
She could feel that Scarlett was being unfriendly to her.
Yuliana hummed in acknowledgment as she nodded at Scarlett. Then, she walked elsewhere with the coat.
Margaret snorted coldly as she watched Yuliana and Fiona walk away. “Even though she always looks aloof and
elegant in front of me, Yuliana is still a bitch! She had just been separated from Harry for a few months, and now
she has found a rich old man.”
Scarlett was made uncomfortable by Margaret’s harsh words. However, she didn’t betray her emotions. Instead,
she was stunned when she thought about Margaret’s remarks. “How do you know?”
Margaret was unfazed. She smirked. “What else could have happened? She was a married woman. Who else would
fall for her? Yuliana is destined to become another man’s mistress now!”
Scarlett frowned. Her intuition indicated that the truth should be different from Margaret’s words. She thought,
“The coat that Yuliana was holding just now is meant to be worn by young men.”
She pondered for a moment before asking. “Marge, do you know why Harry divorced Ms. Livingstone?” Scarlett
had asked Harry the same question before, and he had told her that they had an incompatibility of temperaments.
Scarlett was confident that Harry treated her differently from the rest of his women, and she didn’t wish to probe
into Harry’s previous relationship before she met Yuliana.
However, Scarlett’s confidence level dropped when she met Yuliana.
She thought, “If Harry could give up on a woman like Yuliana just like that, why would he fall for me?”
“Why? Have you seen Yuliana’s father? It’s only normal for Harry to divorce her sooner or later.” Margaret giggled.
Even though she hated Harry for being an illegitimate child, Margaret wouldn’t try to talk badly about him before
Scarlett.
Margaret continued, “You got to be cautious, Scarlett. Don’t be fooled by Yuliana. She is a manipulative woman.
Who knows what dirty tricks she would use to seduce Harry again?”
Scarlett smiled. “I’ll be careful.”
After leaving Margaret and Scarlett behind, Yuliana continued browsing around the shop. However, she didn’t see
anything nice other than the brown coat, so she went to pay for the brown coat at the cashier.
At that time, Scarlett was queueing up to pay for the men’s clothing in her hands while Margaret was chatting with
her. When Margaret noticed Yuliana and Fiona walking over, she paused.
Scarlett noticed something was amiss, so she followed Margaret’s sight. That was when she saw Yuliana
and Fiona.
The two women’s eyes met mid-air before Yuliana retracted her gaze.
They acted like strangers and did not greet each other even after Yuliana and Fiona walked closer.
Scarlett paid the bill first and left the place with Margaret, holding a few branded store shopping bags in her hands.
Soon, Yuliana and Fiona stepped out of the men’s clothing shop. They went shopping for a while before finding a
restaurant near the mall for dinner.
Shortly after Yuliana and Fiona sat down, Scarlett walked in with her arm through Harry’s while Margaret trailed two
steps behind them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFiona was the first to notice them. She patted Yuliana’s arm, telling her to look in the direction of the
entrance.
The moment Yuliana looked over, Harry happened to look in their direction too. He paused when he saw Yuliana.
Without any change in his expression, Harry moved his gaze away.
However, Scarlett was sensitive enough to catch on to Harry’s reaction in that brief moment as she tightened her
arm around Harry’s subconsciously.
Fiona watched as the couple walked into a private room and closed the door, and then she peeked at Yuliana.
Yuliana remained calm as though Harry was not her ex-husband but an irrelevant man.
Yuliana went to the restroom halfway through the meal.
When she exited the restroom, she saw Harry walking toward her while talking on the phone.
Yuliana retracted her gaze when Harry’s met hers. She mused, “I don’t want to greet or talk to him. It’s better for
us to be strangers.”
Harry suddenly grabbed Yuliana when she was about to walk past him. He voiced into the phone, “Contact. me
later,” before ending the call.
Yuliana glanced at the part of her hand where Harry had grabbed her. He quickly let go.
Harry’s gaze landed on Yuliana’s face for a moment. “Yuliana, I need your help.”
Yuliana pursed her lips and asked, “Can I say no?”
Harry didn’t answer yes or no. He stated casually, “Grandma wants to see you. She has been asking about you a lot
lately. If it’s okay with you, please allocate some time to visit her, as she doesn’t know that we are divorced. The
doctor told me that her condition was worsening. She might not remember any of us soon.”
Yuliana did not have the heart to say no to Harry’s request.
She thought, “Harry’s mother died when he was young, and he grew up under his grandma’s care. She is a pitiful
lady, for she became widowed at a young age. Even though she managed to raise her only daughter after much
difficulty, life didn’t treat her well. Her daughter died of illness several years after giving birth to Harry. Fortunately,
Harry accompanied her, giving her the motivation to live.”
