CEO's Ex-wife Stunned the World

Chapter 40 Please Have Some Self-Confidence

Edwin was even angrier at what he saw.

Glenn was wrapping his arm around Julianna‘s shoulder. The way he looked at Julianna was doting and

passionate, from which it could be seen that Glenn liked Julianna very much.

After dinner, they might go back and do something “indescribable“.

At the thought of that, Edwin was in a terrible mood.

Edwin cleared his throat and loosened his tie restlessly. His face was as cold as an iceberg.

“Edwin, what‘s wrong?”

“Nothing. Just order.”

Katelyn was speechless, and her face darkened.

She had just ordered.

“Edwin, why do you look absent–minded?”

“I‘m fine.”

Edwin tried his best to restrain his agitated emotions when he stared at Julianna.

Katelyn finally realized that something was wrong.

Following Edwin‘s gaze, Katelyn turned her head to look.

“Julianna!”

Seeing Julianna, Katelyn widened her eyes.

Her chest was immediately filled with a strong sense of jealousy.

No wonder Edwin had such a big reaction. It turned out that he had seen Julianna.

“Edwin, why don‘t you go and greet your sister?” Katelyn said sourly.

“Why are you greeting her? Come on, cheers.” Edwin picked up the wine glass in front of him.

Katelyn paused for a moment, then she raised her wine glass and lightly clinked it with Edwin‘s.

“Cheers...”

Before Katelyn finished speaking, Edwin had taken a big gulp.

The wine glass was empty.

Seeing this, Katelyn was extremely angry, and her face became gloomy.

Katelyn thought, Julianna, you damned bitch! Why do I see you everywhere?

It seems that the atmosphere will be destroyed again today.

Edwin poured another half glass of wine for himself and drank it up in one go.

“Edwin, what are you doing? You‘ll get drunk in this way. How can you drink Lafite like this?”

This bottle of Lafite was worth several hundreds of thousands of dollars. It should be tasted slowly, yet

Edwin drank it in big gulps.

On the other side.

Glenn and Julianna had bypassed Edwin and Katelyn, found seats on the left side of the restaurant,

and sat down.

They had reserved the best seats but had to give them up to avoid Edwin.

“Do you feel cold?” Glenn asked with concern because the air–conditioner was on full blast.

Julianna gently rubbed her arms. “A little bit.”

“Bring me a shawl, please.” Glenn turned to look toward the waiter.

“Alright, please wait a moment, Mr. Hodson.”

The waiter carried a plate of the special shawl of the restaurant and respectfully brought it over.

Glenn stood up, unfolded the shawl, and gentlemanly put it on Julianna‘s shoulders.

“Thank you.”

They looked at each other and smiled.

The press conference was very successful today.

Through the operation of Glenn‘s public relations team, Julianna was created as an inspiring image of a

professional woman who was independent, strong, and beautiful.

Various clarifying articles and clips of videos were spread on the internet.

In less than a day, Julianna‘s reputation had improved greatly.

In addition, after the news about the cooperation between the Reece Group and CI Technology

Entertainment was released, the shareholders calmed down a little. In the afternoon, the stock price of

the Reece Group stopped fluctuating greatly.

Julianna took it for granted to treat Glenn to a meal because Glenn had helped her so much.

Glenn looked at Julianna suggestively and gently. He asked with a warm smile, “What would you like to

have?”

“Asteak and a salad.”

Glenn casually flipped through the menu. “Then make it double.”

“Alright, sir.”

The steak here was very famous, and it was an essential main course to order.

“After dinner, would you please watch a movie with me?”

Julianna‘s eyes flickered slightly. “Glenn, you know, I have to go back and take care of Ann.”

“It won‘t take long to watch a movie.”

“Well, I‘m a little tired today. So forget it.” Julianna‘s eyes darkened and she tactfully refused.

Glenn smiled warmly and gently held her hand. “This movie was produced by my company. It is the

premiere today. I hope you can go with me.”

Julianna subconsciously retracted her hand. “Well, this is inappropriate. I...”

Julianna knew that if she agreed, it would be equivalent to agreeing to be Glenn‘s girlfriend.

“Julie, I have attended the press conference with you, and you should go to the premiere with me in

return.”

“Glenn, I can‘t adapt to such an occasion.”

“You don‘t need to do anything but just stand by my side and be my companion.”

Julianna smiled. “There are so many beauties in your company. Ask them to go with you.”

When Glenn heard this, a hint of disappointment appeared in his eyes. “Do you want them to go to the

premiere with me? Do you know what that means?”

Julianna was silent. She did not answer.

Of course, she knew that Glenn wanted her to present as his girlfriend.

But...

Julianna did not want to fall in love again.

Glenn gripped Julianna‘s hand a little tighter and looked at her quietly.

“Julie, are you sure you don‘t want to give a chance to you and me?”

“Glenn, you don‘t have to be like this. You know, I cherish our friendship very much.”

Hearing this, Glenn suddenly snorted coldly, “Friendship?”

Julianna was stunned. “Isn‘t that so? I‘ve always taken you as my best friend.”

Glenn‘s handsome face darkened. A man was willing to pay so much for a woman.

That wasn‘t pure friendship.

If a man had no intentions toward this woman, the man would not be so stupid to be a saint.

“Julie, do you really not understand me or pretend not to?” Glenn raised his eyebrows slightly and looked

at Julianna with a complicated gaze.

Glenn had never experienced such frustration in front of a woman.

And he had never been so attentive to a woman.

Unfortunately, it had been four years, and Julianna still refused to accept him.

Tonight...

Glenn wanted to solemnly confess to Julianna. If she didn‘t accept it, he would not act as the unselfish

protector for Julianna any longer.

Looking at Glenn‘s eyes, Julianna suddenly felt uneasy, and her eyes began wandering. “Glenn, please

don‘t be like this. I ... really can‘t.”

Edwin had caused great pain to her.

Julianna was really scared.

Love was like poison for Julianna. She didn‘t dare to touch it anymore, and she didn‘t even want to get

hurt again. No one knew what she had been through in these four years.

“Glenn, you are very good, really. You deserve a better woman. I... I am not worthy of you.”

Glenn held Julianna‘s face and gazed into her eyes affectionately. “Julie, can you face yourself, please?

Do you know how good you are?

“Would you please have some self–confidence?”
