Chapter 115
They went to find Caitlin!
Mr. and Mrs. Hayes actually went to find Caitlin!
Julian stood frozen, staring at the scene unfolding before him, his mouth hanging open in shock, sweat prickling down his back.
The reporters who had just been preparing to interview Julian were equally stunned. The atmosphere buzzed with whispered speculation.
“No way-who’s that girl p>
“She’s beautiful p>
“She really is. If Mr. and Mrs. Hayes came all the way out to greet her themselves, she must be someone important p>
“I honestly thought, with the way Julian was acting just now, that Mr. and Mrs. Hayes were here for him. Turns out, not even close p>
“I bet they don’t even know who Julian is p>
“He looked so embarrassed just now. If I were him, I’d want to disappear into a hole in the ground p>
“Seriously p>
Julian just stood there, listening to the murmurs of the press, his face turning from red to pale and back again. He was so mortified, he wanted the floor to open up and swallow him whole.
It wasn’t just that Mr. and Mrs. Hayes weren’t there for him—
They were there for Caitlin.
For Julian, this was the ultimate humiliation.
Caitlin? Who did Caitlin think she was?
How on earth had she gotten close to the Hayes family?
She wasn’t even in the same league as them!
Julian would never have dreamed that the Hayes family-the very people he’d
tried to curry favor with would treat Caitlin with such respect.
If he’d known this was going to happen, he never would’ve tried to approach them in the first place.
Now look at him. He’d made a complete fool of himself for nothing.
Julian drew a shaky breath, forcing himself to calm down.
Don’t panic.
He couldn’t afford to panic.
After all, Caitlin was his lapdog. She must have gotten close to the Hayeses for his sake.
That’s right—Caitlin, the country bumpkin, didn’t have any real skills except for being a people-pleaser. If it weren’t for that, Jarvis never would’ve cajoled him into marrying her in the first place.
Clearly, Caitlin was afraid he wouldn’t agree to remarry her tonight, so she’d cozied up to the Hayeses to win him over.
Yes, that had to be it. This update is available on.net
So, any minute now, Caitlin would come over with Mr. and Mrs. Hayes and introduce them to him.
As long as Caitlin brought them over, he’d be able to regain all the face he’d just lost.
Thinking this, Julian steadied his footing.
Ten seconds.
He just needed to wait ten seconds.
In ten seconds, Caitlin would appear in front of him.
Julian closed his eyes and silently counted down.
Ten, nine, eight p>
When he reached five, a woman’s voice sounded by his ear. “Julian p>
Caitlin! She’d come!
He knew she wouldn’t escape his grasp.
Julian’s lips curled into a smug smile as he opened his eyes—only to find Sophie standing in front of him.
“Sophie? Why are you here?” His face fell.
Sophie!
Not Caitlin.
Julian was momentarily at a loss.
Sophie blinked in surprise at his reaction. “Julian, the engagement party’s about to start. Who are you waiting for p>
Julian’s gaze darted back in Caitlin’s direction.
All he saw was Caitlin disappearing into the entrance of Building B with Mr. and Mrs. Hayes, the three of them already out of sight.
