Not knowing how much time had passed, she suddenly heard steady footsteps outside the meeting room. Yulia turned around.

It wasn't too long ago that they had seen each other, but Quill was much thinner than before. It was obvious at first glance that he hadn't had a good rest during that period of time, and his eyes were bloodshot. Because of Vera's incident, he was physically and mentally exhausted.

He had to care for his wife on one hand, and had to deal with the Holt family on the other. It must have been exhausting for him.

Seeing him like this, the guilt in Yulia's heart grew even stronger.

Because of her, everyone was hurt. Perhaps, she shouldn't have returned home. If she had remained abroad, so many things would not have happened.

She didn't know if it was because of this incident, but Quill treated her even more coldly. He didn't even greet her when she came in. He pulled out a chair and sat down directly, then looked at her icily.

She knew that she was in the wrong. Although she felt sad, she did not say much. She just went forward and handed the document to him.

He didn't take it, so she placed the document on the table.

"These are all the important information of the company."

Upon hearing this, he narrowed his eyes. He was not sure what she was trying to do.

"Jasper and I know each other. He knew about Vera and I, and he felt that I was unjustly treated, which was why he did these things. Although he was the one who did it, I am also partly responsible. I can no longer accept your help in revitalizing the Maxwell family. I have already sorted out these documents."

Quill didn't read the information, nor did he reply. He just looked at Yulia and asked after a long time, "Do you know the truth about the fire?"

He was indirectly asking if she knew who had started the fire but kept silent about it, or if she was innocent and didn't know anything about it at all.

She looked at him, pursed her lips, and then sat down opposite of him.

"The arson actually happened twice. The first time was in a cafe. I had invited Vera out to have a chat, and at that time Jasper wanted to kill her by setting her ablaze but I stopped him. I told him that I didn't want to take anyone's life. I thought... he wouldn't do this, but I didn't expect..."

She really didn't expect that Jasper would do such a thing on the wedding day. He had trapped her in his plan.
