Chapter 384 Confession

• “But why? I've already promised Chris that I would go to the piano concert with him. He'll be angry if I don't go.” After I said that, I got around the bodyguard and headed for the exit. I had just taken two steps when I was stopped by the bodyguard again, and this time he was blocking the exit. Obviously, he was acting on the orders of Julia. I tried to shove him out of my way but to no avail.
• “I don't understand, Mrs. Lane. Why are you so against us?” If Julia was behaving this way all because of Monica's mother, then it was unfair. Truly unfair to Christopher and me.
• Julia's eyes were downcast, and there was a sorrowful look on her face. It was as though she recalled a particularly bad memory. The air was heavy with tension as I watched her swirl the coffee in her cup.
