When she returned home, Vera was still trembling, and she even felt exceptionally cold.

She turned on the heater and got under the quilt.

Probably because of the fright, even with the heater and the quilt, Vera still felt insecure.

Should she tell Quill about the incident? But what if it was just her imagination? She'd be a judgemental woman then. Moreover, Yulia was gasping for air when she came, and her gaze was filled with concern. If Yulia truly wanted to harm her, would she be able to leave the cafe unscathed and come home to hide under the quilt?

So should she tell Quill about it?

Vera's mind was a mess; she couldn't shake off the fear. From what she could tell, Yulia might have actually wanted to harm her but stopped at the critical moment. Perhaps her conscience arrived in time, or she was afraid of bearing the consequences.

However, no matter the outcome, it could be said the idea had crossed her mind at one point.

If Yulia did not save her in time, what would become of her?

Vera did not dare envision. She closed her eyes and curled up under the quilt.

After Yulia came out, she did not look for Vera but went straight to Jasper.

Seeing she had returned, Jasper sat comfortably with his long legs crossed and a faint smile on his lips.

"Why are you doing this?!"

Yulia walked over and questioned him directly.

Jasper raised his eyebrows and said, "I told you already, haven't I? I want to help you. I'll be at your beck and call. No?"

"Did you tell me your plan beforehand?" Furious, Yulia questioned him. "And, I never agreed to that. All there was, was your yapping!"

Hearing that, Jasper approached Yulia. He squinted as he scanned her. "What? Are you backing down, or have you gone soft?"

Yulia didn't reply to him but only pursed her lips as she stood there.
