Sweet Wife So Charming: CEO: Hold Back Your Heart-Chapter 271: Sucking Up

The next day, Fiona Rhodes appeared at the hotel next to AE Entertainment.

Regardless of what Julian Sinclair thinks, she absolutely cannot return to Vesperia and absolutely cannot leave Julian Sinclair.

"Sister Fiona, here’s the coffee you wanted." Julia stood in front of Fiona Rhodes with a fawning smile, her posture so humble it was pitiful.

"Just put it there." Fiona Rhodes, looking at her phone, caught sight of her from the corner of her eye and couldn’t help but frown slightly.

Even though Fiona’s claim to be Julian Sinclair’s fiancée had been denied, she was still the eldest daughter of the Rhodes family, wealthy beyond measure.

In terms of financial power alone, Julia didn’t dare face off with her, having to fawn and flatter her instead.

Moreover, ever since that day when Julian Sinclair stood up for Moira Young, Moira had really become the top star at AE Entertainment.

For Julia, who had caused trouble for Moira several times before, Moira didn’t even have to say anything, and Julia was already bullied so badly by opportunists that she didn’t dare enter the company’s main doors. Helplessly, she had to resort to brown-nosing Fiona Rhodes.

She stood cautiously beside Fiona Rhodes, her meek demeanor completely unlike her former arrogance towards Moira Young.

Seeing that Fiona Rhodes remained silent, Julia bit her lip hesitantly and spoke, "Sister Fiona, I heard that LV recently released a limited-edition bag that’s really pretty. I barely managed to get someone to bring one back from Vesperia for me. If you like it..."

"No need. No matter what brand of limited-edition bag it is, if I want it, there’s nothing I can’t get." Fiona Rhodes interrupted Julia’s words, finding it laughable that she would lack such items.

Julia’s attempt to flatter Fiona was completely off the mark, so naturally, Fiona didn’t give her good face.

For a moment, Julia didn’t know what to do, standing hesitantly beside Fiona without daring to speak again.

After some unknown time, Fiona suddenly stood up and slapped Julia, "Why are you still here? Hurry up and get lost!"

"Sister, Sister Fiona." Julia didn’t understand why Fiona suddenly lashed out.

"Don’t call me Sister Fiona. You’re not worthy! If it weren’t for your stupidity in offending Moira Young, I wouldn’t be in this difficult situation now!" The more Fiona thought about it, the angrier she got, wishing she could tear Julia to pieces.

Julia felt even more aggrieved, opening her mouth to defend herself, "But wasn’t it your idea to suppress Moira Young?"

"I told you to suppress Moira Young, but I didn’t tell you to be foolish enough to do it yourself!" Fiona glared at Julia with resentment, "You’re more of a failure than a success!"

"Sister Fiona, my life in the company is really difficult right now, you, you can’t just abandon me." Julia didn’t expect Fiona to burn bridges and looked at her with both resentment and fear.

Fiona only sneered repeatedly, "That’s your problem, what’s it got to do with me?"

"But I did it to help you..."

"Did you really do it for me or for yourself? I think you know better than I do." Fiona interrupted Julia again, impatiently urging her to leave, "Get out of the office, I don’t want to see you again."

Julia couldn’t believe it, "Sister Fiona, I’ve always been loyal to you, how can you treat me like this?"

Fiona lost all patience to talk nonsense with Julia, directly pushing her out of the room and closing the door behind her. No matter how much Julia shouted outside, Fiona pretended not to hear.

Without Fiona’s backing, Julia couldn’t stay at AE at all.

With the troublemakers gone from the company, Moira Young’s life became even smoother. She was flooded with resources and her schedule was packed.

At 8 PM, Julian Sinclair drove over to pick up Moira Young.

As soon as Moira got in the car, she fell asleep from exhaustion and didn’t wake up even after they got home.

Julian Sinclair, utterly helpless, carried her to her room himself, tucked her in, and then quietly left.

As the night cooled like water, Moira slept soundly, but Julian furrowed his brows in frustration.

"Fiona Rhodes must return to Vesperia." Julian gripped his phone, his tone unusually firm.

His father’s voice came through, growling, "You know Fiona Rhodes is your fiancée. Doing this will only bring dishonor to the Sinclair family."

"Fiancée? I recall we’ve already annulled the engagement with the Rhodes family." Julian’s lips curved into a cold smile; he didn’t acknowledge this fiancée.

"Julian, can’t you find a lady from a better family? Why that little girl you adopted, with all her scandalous background you’re aware of!"

"So what?"

"You!" His father, enraged, felt his blood pressure shoot up, "You fool! Do you realize how precarious your position is, with so many vultures watching you!"

Julian’s face was expressionless, a self-mocking smile on his lips, "Ha, those people aren’t worthy of my attention."

"Arrogant fool!" His father was exasperated but also helpless, "The Rhodes family has already sent word. If Fiona Rhodes can’t stay in China, they’ll withdraw the Sinclair Group’s domestic agency rights!"

Julian didn’t want to continue this conversation with his father, curtly stating, "If the Rhodes family continues to pressure us, I believe with my capabilities, cutting off one of their arms won’t be difficult."

"What do you mean by that?" His father frowned.

"Just what it sounds like." Julian’s gaze was cold, he didn’t even say goodbye before hanging up.

His father was livid, but being thousands of miles away, there was nothing he could do about Julian.

He had no choice but to turn his thoughts to how to clean up the mess.

Neither the Rhodes family nor the Sinclair family could afford any misstep, for it would spell doom.

Recalling his son’s previous car accident, he sighed. As a father, he couldn’t bear the thought of outliving his son.

It was late at night, and Moira was in deep sleep. Julian returned to the room and upon seeing her sleep so peacefully, couldn’t help but smile, slipping under the covers to cuddle her.

At 7 AM, having gone to bed early, Moira gradually awoke.

As she intended to get up, she felt a tight hold around her waist. She twisted her body and turned around to see an incredibly handsome face.

Her mood inexplicably improved. Initially planning to get up, she changed her mind, nestling back into Julian’s embrace.

After she closed her eyes, the man beside her finally opened his. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

In truth, he had woken the moment Moira turned, but he pretended to be asleep to see her reaction.

Watching her curl up like a kitten into his arms, Julian felt his recent frustrations dissipate. Hugging Moira a bit tighter, he closed his deep-set eyes once more.
