Julius paused for a moment. He lowered his thick eyelashes to hide the cloudiness in his eyes. Then he wheeled himself out and ordered in a light voice, “Back to the Magnolia Palace
“Well..” Zack looked upstairs and then at Julius hack, fooling a bit lost.
After a while, he
chile, he sighed and headed upstairs. “What a tough life.”
He muttered to himself, “Tm the heir to the Evans family, one of the four prominent families in Janivielle, yet here I’m managing a marketing account? Who on earth would believe it?”
In the Magnolia Palace, the elevator doors opened, and the people inside and outside exchanged glances.
Quiana was speechless when she saw Julius. She felt she could run into him everywhere.
She tapped the brim of her cap and stepped into the elevator. With a chuckle, she said, “Mr. Hawley, you’re really awesome. You used money to stir things up and win people over.”
Julius raised an eyebrow and said casually, “My name has been banned across the Internet. Quiana, you’re also quite impressive.”
Quiana squinted slightly and tilted her head. Her bright and rebellious eyes were full of confusion. “What do you mean your name has been banned?”
The elevator doors slowly closed. Julius‘ eyes sparkled with amusement as he leaned back casually and lifted his deep eyes. “Where do you go? I can give you a ride.”
Aflicker of darkness crossed Quiana’s eyes, and she simply said, “The Larson residence.”
In the Larson residence, Simon was reading the newspaper in the living room. When he saw Xavier retum, he asked seriously, “Did you find Quiana?”
With a somber face, Xavier replied, “No.”
Since the crew for the drama Burning Youth had been disbanded, they hadn’t seen Quiana, except for her news on trending topics online. They couldn’t even reach her by phone.
Xavier tried several times to force his way into the slums, but as soon as he touched the door, the electronic surveillance warned him off.
He finally found out that Quiana was at the Magnolia Palace, but he couldn’t get in.
Feeling upset, Mandy cursed, “That little bitch is so arrogant.”
“Xavier,” Wigona’s sweet voice sounded from upstairs, “did you find the source of the pills?”
Ever since they delivered the pills, they had been keeping an eye on the Hawley manor. They know that the pills worked for Edward.
Xavier took off his jacket and had a sip of water. “Not yet.”
He inquired through his connections on the black market and found that all those pills came from Quiana. And the price was two hundred thousand dollars per pill.
Quiana came from the slums, poor and unworldly, yet she fought so well and had such miraculous pills. Xavier thought she was not that simple as she
looked.
“She can’t escape,” Mandy said. Then she looked at Winona upstairs warmly. “For now, take a break from acting and activities. You need to focus on

Xavier looked up. “Why is Winona starting to draw again?
Mandy explained, “Mr. Wilson will be starting a class for drawing in a few days.”
“Mr. Wilson is starting a class for drawing” Xavier looked surprised. “He’s accepting students?”

The Wilson family didn’t think much of the Larson family. To be more precise, none of the four major families thought highly of the Larson family. After all, they came from different social classes.
In recent years, the Larson family had become well known among the rich and powerful families in Janivielle solely due to its marriage connection with
the Hawley family.
If Winona could become a student of Elliot, those families would have high regard for the Larson family.
Xavier lovingly ruffled Winona’s hair. “Then keep practicing well.”

crumpled the newspaper in his hand,
The manage agreement between Julius and Quiana had been in place for so long, but this was Julius‘ first visit to the Larson residence.
“It seems the Larson family doesn’t welcome the Julius” voice reached the room before he did, light and causal, yet very unsettling.
