Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Not Afraid of Others Knowing

"That won’t be necessary. She will still be my wife, and your daughter-in-law."

Julian Sterling’s tone was resolute.

It was almost as if he were trying to convince himself.

"Good, it’s not too late for you to understand! From now on, just live a good life with Eve and stop thinking about pointless things! If that Jane Jacobs were a decent person, do you think your father and I would have stood in your way?"

After all, Florence Morgan was his own mother. If the woman her son had brought home had been a suitable young woman, they wouldn’t have objected so vehemently!

Although Julian Sterling knew his mother was right, he still couldn’t help but defend Jane Jacobs whenever he heard someone speak ill of her.

"You guys just don’t understand Jane. She’s... a good person."

"It’s clear to me you’ve been completely brainwashed by her!" Florence Morgan was too angry to speak with him any further. "If she hadn’t died, you still wouldn’t want to get your act together with Eve! A menace like her, her death was a blessing!"

"Mom! Don’t..."

"Enough! I’m done talking to you! I, your elder, was willing to stoop to such lengths to help you, and what do you do? You’re still defending Jane Jacobs! In that case, why did you even agree to this plan? You might as well just let Eve go through with the divorce, and the two of you can be strangers from now on!"

Julian Sterling’s heart clenched unexpectedly.

He had to raise a hand and clutch his chest to endure the pain.

"No! Evelyn Grant is my wife! She can only be my wife!"

"You’d better think this through yourself."

With that, Florence Morgan hung up.

Julian Sterling lowered his phone and sat alone on the sofa in the living room of the Sterling Estate, silent for a long while.

He had never imagined that one day, Evelyn Grant would actually leave him.

Let alone that there would be another man in her life!

And to make matters worse, that man was his own brother.

It was like a vicious slap across the face, stinging so much he could barely breathe.

’No, absolutely not!’

Suddenly, Julian Sterling shot up from the sofa!

He was going to find Ryan Sterling.

He was going to bring Evelyn Grant back to him.

Just as Julian Sterling opened the estate’s front door, a black Cullinan swung around and pulled to a stop right in front of him.

It was Ryan Sterling’s car.

Before Julian could say a word, Ryan got out of the car and, without any warning, threw a punch straight at him!

Caught off guard, he took the full force of the blow.

His tall frame swayed for a moment before he staggered and fell to the ground!

"What in the world did Evelyn Grant ever do to wrong you? You already divorced her, but you still refuse to let her go!"

Julian Sterling wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, spat out the coppery taste, and sneered, "Are you lecturing me? Ryan Sterling, Mom and Dad still don’t know you have feelings for your sister-in-law! If they found out, I’d love to see how you’d explain yourself!"

"I love her, so I’m not afraid of anyone knowing."

"Are you insane?!"

"So what if they find out? Evelyn Grant has already divorced you! She’s mine now."

Julian Sterling shot to his feet, grabbing Ryan Sterling by the collar and grinding his teeth. "She will never be yours! Never!"

"What gives you the right to say that?"

"Because she loves me! The one she loves is me, not you!"

"She loved you, I’ll give you that. But how did you treat her? Do you even deserve to be by her side?" Ryan Sterling wasn’t the least bit flustered.
