Leaving You Bereft (Willow and Julian) novel Chapter 29

Willow was aware of that, of course. That was why she did not turn down Julian’s offer right away. After all, who would say no to

earning more money?

However, she was no fool. Julian would not just make such a nice offer for no reason. He was not someone who would give away

his money so easily.

Willow smiled slightly. “What are the duties that I’ll have to fulfill?”

Julian looked at her and said crudely, “You need to cooperate with me for Project Aurelia. Also, you’ll need to satisfy me in bed.”

“Julian Ziegler!”

“I have urges.”

Willow did not agree to it right away. She replied flatly, “I’ll consider it.”

Julian produced a document and handed it to Willow. “This is the agreement. You can get a lawyer to go through the details listed

in the document. We can discuss more if you have any other conditions.

“Even if there’s no love between us, we’re still family. Think about it, Willow.”

Willow agreed to consider his offer. Still, she insisted on leaving. She refused to stay there for the night.

Julian did not try to stop her this time. He had other matters to take care of that night.

It was already very late by the time Willow exited the building. Most of the neon lights in the city had been turned off, leaving just

a handful of them that could be seen scattered around the area.

Just as Willow opened the car door, she witnessed an unexpected scene out of the corners of her eyes.

A man and a woman were clearly in a scuffle. The woman was trying to stop the man from leaving.

Willow recognized the pair.

It was Dexter and his girlfriend, Eleanor Sutton. Eleanor worked for the Nebula Group as the head of the PR department. She was

a proud and capable woman.

Yet, she was clinging onto Dexter desperately at the moment to stop him from leaving. It seemed like they were having a

relationship issue.

Sadly, it was almost impossible for a woman to stop a man from leaving.

While they were shoving or yanking the other person, Dexter accidentally pushed Eleanor to the ground. Eleanor was wearing a

dress and a pair of high heels. She grazed her calf on the concrete floor, and the rough surface of the floor scraped some skin off

her calf. Blood poured from the wound instantly.

“Ms. Harper…”

“You don’t have to be so courteous around me. I won’t be going back to working at Nebula again.”

Willow sounded calm and unruffled. She helped Eleanor get into the car and drove her to the hospital.

As a woman, Willow understood Eleanor’s situation pretty well.

Even though they had dated for three years, Eleanor still had not secured her chance to marry into the Ziegler family. Instead of Eleanor’s excellent capabilities at work, what Dexter needed more was a woman with a social background that was befitting to be

his spouse.

Therefore, the relationship he had with Eleanor was bound to come to an end.

Eleanor cried silently on the way to the hospital. Inwardly, Willow felt a bit down as well. She could see glimpses of the old her

from Eleanor. How she had fearlessly given everything she had for love…

In the darkness, Willow’s voice cracked a little. “Actually, marrying into the Ziegler family doesn’t necessarily guarantee you a happy life. Material wealth won’t make you feel truly happy if your partner isn’t a good man.”

Eleanor froze.

“Is Ms. Harper not happy with her marriage?” she pondered.
