Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

“Why don’t you deal with work first? No need to hurry to look at the wedding dress,” Annalise said. “Don’t worry. I won’t give them a chance.” Julian looked at Annalise with a smile on his lips. As long as he was with her, he would feel at peace. His joy was indescribable. He was full of anticipation, looking forward to every brand-new day. Annalise looked at the comparative analysis. She was surprised. “How did Alexander’s sales increase so quickly?” Julian looked at Annalise’s clothes and went to get her a jacket. He said, “Timothy knew Alexander’s performance won’t improve, so he cooperated with him.” “I see.” Annalise understood. “It’s still cold outside. Put your coat on. Let’s talk in the car.” Julian put his coat on Annalise. The driver took them to the bridal boutique to look at the wedding dresses. This is the work of an internationally renowned designer, Rizo. Julian had ordered custom-made wedding dresses. Since last year, Rizo had designed more than twenty dresses. All of them were hand-stitched, and each of them took a few months to complete. They were delivered last night. Now, it was time to see how they fit. Once Julian’s car left… A servant saw it and quietly returned to her room to look for the spare phone. She sent a message to Layla, who had already gone overseas for a project. Less than twenty minutes after their car drove out, Julian received a call from his assistant. Something had happened at the company. Someone was about to jump off the building. His assistant had already called the police immediately. He also verified the identity of the person threatening to jump off the building. He was the CEO of a small company. Last year, Parks Group acquired his company. “Which company? When did we buy it?” Julian asked. “It’s Superstar Media. Last December,” the assistant replied. Julian narrowed his eyes. “I remember Superstar Media. We gave him the price he wanted. When he left, he even thanked me profusely.” Julian’s greatest advantage was his knowledge and sharp memory. He did not participate in the acquisition of many companies. However, coincidentally, he had been involved in the acquisition of Superstar Media. He still remembered that the CEO of Superstar Media wanted to shake his hand to thank him. Julian had disliked the other party for being too vulgar. He asked his assistant to shake the man’s hand instead. Moreover, if the CEO were dissatisfied with the acquisition and wanted to kill himself, he would have done so last year. He would not jump off a building right after the New Year. “Yes. At that time, he was indeed satisfied with the price. I sent someone to ask around. We found out that he lost all his money last night.” Julian said coldly, “Is he planning to extort Parks Group after losing all his money?” Julian hated men who gambled the most. Only those who had no sense of responsibility would lose all their assets. It did not matter if the man died, but wouldn’t his wife and children starve? The assistant sighed. He said, “Mr. Parks. From the looks of it, he’s serious about jumping. Perhaps he was agitated after losing all his money. That’s why he did something so extreme. The passers-by are also horrible. Many people are shouting at him to jump quickly. Because he’s on a high floor, he can’t hear them. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. I’m trying to persuade him now.” “Try your best to persuade him. How much money does he want? Agree to it first,” Julian said in a deep voice. No matter what, human life was at stake. Julian wanted to save the person first. Consider it as good karma for the child in Annie’s belly. “Yes. I’m trying to persuade him, but he wants to see you and talk to you in person,” the assistant said. “I’m busy today,” Julian said coldly. He wanted to accompany Annie to look at the wedding dresses. A person like the CEO of Superstar Media was not worthy of his time. That man was pushing his luck. “Mr. Parks. I’m afraid that he’ll do something rash.” The assistant was in a difficult position. “Stall him until the police arrive,” Julian said. “Okay, I’ll buy some time.” The assistant hung up helplessly. “What’s wrong?” Annalise asked Julian. “The CEO of a company we previously acquired lost all his money. He came to Parks Group, threatening to jump off the building.” Julian looked down on such a man. “Honey, why don’t we look at the wedding dresses another day?” Annalise said. Julian reached out to hold Annalise’s hand. He comforted her. “Don’t worry. Nothing will happen. If he wants to see me, he must be after money. He doesn’t want to die. We should do what we have to do. Don’t be affected by such a person.” Last night, he had been looking forward to seeing the wedding dresses today. He wanted to see how stunning Annie would look in a wedding dress. “No, I suddenly want to go home. Let’s rest at home today and look at the wedding dresses tomorrow,” Annalise said. When she heard someone wanted to jump off a building, she had an ominous feeling. She had a vague feeling that there was a scheme going on. She might have been traumatized by the incident with Nancy and Trevor. Now that something. seemed to be happening again, she felt suspicious. She felt the best way to end these schemes was to not be present at the venue. She no longer wanted to look at wedding dresses. “Alright, let’s go home. Should we go back to the Parks residence or our own home?” Julian asked Annalise gently. He would agree to all of Annalise’s requests. “Let’s go back to our own home. We haven’t been back for a few days. Mom and Dad will come over tomorrow,” Annalise said. During this period, her parents had moved to the Xander residence. The orchids there were in full bloom. “Alright. Mr. Dewey, drive back to the villa.” Julian ordered. Ten minutes later, Julian’s phone rang again. It was Albert. As soon as the call went through, Albert accused him hysterically. “Julian, where are you? This is a matter of life and death. Are you not going to come? Huh? We’ve all arrived. As the acting president, how can you not be here?” “You got there so quickly. Did you know that someone was going to jump off a building?” Julian asked bluntly. “You!” Albert was so angry that he stammered. “Julian, stop slandering me. I came over today to take a look at the performance report.” Albert gritted his teeth with every word. Clearly, he was furious. “You’re a kind and respectable person. Since you’re there, help me deal with this matter. Didn’t you always say that the company is the most important thing?” Julian’s voice was still indifferent. How could Julian not remember? When grandpa fell sick last year, Albert brought Christopher to the hospital to pressure him. Albert must have wished that grandpa would die in the hospital. “Of course, I’ll prioritize the company. However, your reaction and public relations skills tell me you’re not worthy of being the Parks Group’s president,” Albert grunted and hung up. Immediately after, Samuel called. Julian picked up the call. Samuel said, “Julian, I heard that the boss of a small company is causing a commotion at Parks Group. Is he trying to jump off the building?” “Yeah.” “Are you at the office yet?” “I’m not.” “Julian, I know you don’t tolerate this behavior, but there are all kinds of people in the world. Some are irresponsible, others beg, and others are selfish. Of course, some are indeed in dire straits. “We would meet all kinds of people in our lives. The best mindset is not to despise evil or to be ruthless but to live harmoniously. Even if you know he’s not planning to jump, you should still cooperate and give him a way out. “Sometimes, an accident like this can prove most crucial,” grandpa said. Julian understood what grandpa meant. Sometimes, he should do things not only for himself but also for others to see. Grandpa was talking about Julian’s reputation. He said, “I understand, grandpa. I’ll be there in a moment.”
