Chapter 22
Marcus thoroughly investigated the full story of Celeste’s termination in less than an hour and hurried back to tell Julian his findings.
Julian looked furious after listening to Marcus‘ explanation
There was a hint of hostility in Julian’s expression, but this time, Marcus wasn’t afraid of him. Instead, he angrily said, “I feel temible for Celeste. She got bullied by two adulterers. You can’t let them off the hook, julian!”
Julian didn’t respond. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and stared intently at a name on his computer.
It displayed the name “William Prescott.”
Since Julian had looked into Celeste before, he law who William was–William symbolized Celeste’s past and represented her untold weakness.
Before this, Julian had never thought that he could be this hostile to someone, even if it were someone insignificant to him. But even so, William was still an eyesore, and Julian wouldn’t show him mercy.
