This was the place she’d called home for decades.
And now, out of nowhere, she was expected to leave it all behind. How could she possibly accept that? How could she bear to say goodbye?
She was used to the grand house, the daily pampering, the luxury car waiting outside whenever she wanted to go somewhere.
Trailing behind Vida, Veronica seemed to have lost all her usual sparkle.
The two of them looked for all the world like a pair of defeated strays.
“Mom, Auntie,” Julian stepped forward and took the suitcase from Vida’s hand.
Vida looked up at him. “Have you heard from Caitlin? I read she’s now Miss Gonzales of The Capital. If I’d known this would happen, I never would’ve let you divorce her!”
The Gonzales family was the most powerful in The Capital.
And Keira only had Caitlin as a granddaughter. If Julian and Caitlin hadn’t split, he’d be the Gonzales son-in-law—the future heir to the entire dynasty.
Julian shook his head. “No, I haven’t.”
Veronica’s voice trembled with frustration. “Julian, she loved you so much—how could she just forget you like that? Caitlin must have a heart of stone.”
That was the Gonzales family, after all!
If Julian hadn’t divorced Caitlin, Veronica herself would be the family’s beloved cousin, moving among the city’s elite. Instead, look at her now—fallen so far.
She bitterly regretted not forging a better bond with Caitlin.
Julian sighed. “Mom, Auntie, please, don’t mention Caitlin again. That’s all in the past. I’m engaged to Sophie now. Just give me some time—I’ll make a comeback. I’ll show Caitlin she made a mistake. I’ll make her regret ever letting me go.”
Determination blazed in his eyes as he spoke.
