BossNovelChapter 534
Julie unleashed her rage, her eyes burning with genuine hatred.
Joseph's face twisted in displeasure, his pride wounded. He hadn't expected to see himself as such a failure in
Julie's eyes. To avoid marrying him, Julie had gone to the extrof killing Granny Anita, the sweet old lady who
had tried to set them up. "You're insane! Completely out of your mind!" Feiman shouted, anger boiling over.
"You're beyond help."
"Ha!" Julie spat on the ground, her eyes blazing. "It's all because of the Salstrom family pushingtoo far.
Where's Katelyn today, huh? She's the root of all this, insisting I'd be the perfect daughter-in-law and pushing me
towards Herman. | went on that date full of hope, only to be met with nothing but scorn from the Salstroms.
What gives you the right to treatlike trash?"
After lashing out at Katelyn, Julie turned her fury on Anastasia. "What makes you better than me? A street vendor
with no college degree, knocked up before marriage, and yet you waltz into the Salstrom family. Are they blind?
Preferring someone like you over me?" Flynn snapped back, "With your jealousy, hypocrisy, and cruelty, you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdon't deserve to set foot in the Salstrom household. You're not even fit to tie Anastasia's shoelaces."
"She might be wonderful, but she couldn't even protect her own child. And me? I'm carrying the Salstrom heir.
Anastasia, your child was unlucky to land in your womb-heard it was a boy, ha! Died by the hands of that old hag
and me. Do you hate me? Con, take your revenge for your child if you dare. If you don't have the guts,
you're not even worth my contempt."
Julie deliberately provoked Anastasia, hoping to make her lose control and lash out in front of everyone. That
way, even Herman wouldn't be able to stand by Anastasia.
But Anastasia remained composed. There was hatred in her eyes, but she wasn't about to lose control.
She stared coldly at Julie and said, "Your actions will be judged by the law, not by my hands."
"Hypocrite," Julie snarled. "Anastasia, don't pretend you didn't want Granny Anita dead when you stabbed her. |
just finished what you started. I'm so disappointed in you. If you had just finished her off, | wouldn't have had to
step in. You're a hypocrite, a murderer just like me. We're in this together. How can you face Herman now?"
Julie's words struck at Anastasia's guilt. She had indeed harbored thoughts of killing Granny Anita, even if she
hadn't gone through with it.
Herman sensed Anastasia's turmoil and stepped forward, taking her hand before the gathered crowd, showing
their united front. "Anastasia has nothing to feel guilty about and owes the Salstroms nothing. | understand all
her actions, and as her husband, | failed to protect her and our child."
With these words, Julie was defeated.
What could she possibly have to compare with Anastasia?
The guests admired Herman for his clear sense of right and wrong. After all, who wouldn't feel rage if their child
had been harmed?
Human emotions are not like plants and trees, unfeeling and stoic.
Women may seem fragile, but as mothers, they are fierce protectors, ready to sacrifice everything for their
children.
Many mothers in the audience empathized, imagining themselves in Anastasia's shoes, possibly acting even
more drastically.
Flynn raised his voice: "Julie, Herman rejected you from the start. It's your own obsessive desire that's led you to
this point. You think you can just have whatever you want? Matters of the heart can't be forced, and frankly,
you're just selfish. You can't stand losing, but it's not about love for Herman."
"I've lost, so whatever you say is right," Julie spat bitterly, glaring at Joseph. "Joseph, you spineless coward, your
woman and child are attacked, and you do nothing? You're not a man."
Joseph stepped forward, his face indifferent, his laugh mocking. "A mere plaything, | couldn't care less. I've had
women who could offera fresh green hat every day without repeating. | never said I'd marry you. Don't
flatter yourself. Herman's discarded rag is of no interest to me."
With that, Joseph turned on his heel, striding defiantly towards the exit.
Julie cursed him: "Joseph, you'll never know peace, you scum..."
Breaking free from her bridesmaid's grasp, she pulled a hairpin from her hair and lunged at Joseph's back,
screaming, "You can die!"
