At the cafe.

Yulia had been observing Quill from the side of the road for a long time before she entered. After not seeing him for a week, she noticed he seemed to have become thinner, and he looked tired as the dark circles around his eyes were obvious.

It was definitely all because of his girlfriend.

At the thought of this, Yulia felt bitter. She swallowed her sadness, forced a smile, and walked in.

Quill remained nonchalant when he saw her. He only greeted her and said nothing else after that.

Yulia sat quietly after ordering a cup of coffee.

She had a hunch of what Quill wanted to say and do, but she didn't want to speak at all.

She would let Quill initiate the conversation.

Sure enough, when her coffee arrived, Quill spoke.

"Our families used to be close, and our elders had the idea of saving each other during a crisis. If something were to happen to Hanover Corporation, the Maxwell Group wouldn't stay idle and vice versa. However, it's my fault for not doing anything when misfortune fell on your family."

Yulia quietly stirred the coffee before her.

"You weren't willing to accept my help before, but I have no choice but to do so now. Yulia, start a business. I will help you until the company is successfully established. I will let you transfer the managers of Hanover Corporation at will until the Maxwell Group is revived. Then my duty will be done, and I wouldn't disappoint Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell."

Quill was right. The elders of their families had vowed to do so, and he had also agreed to help.

However, Yulia still felt upset. She bit her lower lip and raised her head.

"You are just trying to get rid of me, aren't you?"

Her smile looked forced, "I didn't do anything, nor am I planning to. Can't I just stay at the company?"

Quill's face darkened.

"Yulia, we grew up together. I don't want to say something that would hurt you."

"Hurt me?" Yulia chuckled without care, "Then let's hear how awful it is."

Looking at Yulia, Quill thought of how aggrieved Vera was. He suddenly felt that there was no need to be tactful. "I heard we have an engagement?" Taken aback, Yulia stared at him blankly.

She knew he would ask her this, but she didn't expect him to be so blunt, and her mind went blank for a moment.

"Do we?" Quill asked again.

However, Yulia still did not answer. She bit her lower lip, feeling as if something tore in her heart.

However, Quill didn't force her to speak either, "The reason I asked you out today is to make things clear. If my memory serves me right, our families never made it official, let alone exchange any keepsake." Yulia finally understood where he was going with it. He was severing ties with her and denying the engagement from their childhood!

"Besides, my parents never told me I had a fiancee. So I want to know, how did the rumor spread?"

Hearing this, Yulia finally raised her

head, tears welling up in her eyes, "So the

On you asked me out

today is to sever ties with me? Quill, we grew up together, and I know

I you

love Vera. But that doesn't mean you

should treat me like this."

However, her tears had nothing on him. He continued to look at her coldly. Just like how she called to him after she hurt herself, "Quill, my knee hurts. Can you carry me back?"

All Quill did was look at her coldly. "You didn't break it. Either you walk or continue to sit here." Then he left straight.

Yulia felt absolutely frustrated back

then. In the end, Ernest was the one

who helped her up. He did not carry her either but said, "Quill is as emotional as a log. Why did you have ve to yes, the

go to him? If he said yes, sky would rain cash. Don't try to flirt

with him; you won't get anything out

of it."

Hence, Yulia learned her lesson. As she knew how indifferent Quill could be, she never fawned on him but just stayed by his side since then.

Like now, her tears still held no importance in Quill's eyes. He just frowned and said coldly, "We have no relation at all, so how can you say I'm severing ties with you?" Yulia was flabbergasted by his words, "You... What did you say? We have no relation at all?"

Quill pursed his lips and continued to look at her indifferently.

"How so? Our families agreed to the engagement. You may not know it, but I do. I've it engraved in my heart since I was a child. I always thought you knew." Hearing that, Quill's brows furrowed even further, "Then you should be glad I didn't know. If I did, I would've never given you any chances to bull."

He was savage this time, and Yulia finally understood how merciless he could be. He could help her for the sake of the Maxwell family, let her

transfer all the high-level personne

of Hanover Corporation, and sponsor her with as much money as she needed. But that was all he

would give her, not even the

slightest affections.

Truly merciless and cold.

This was the Quill she knew all along, yet he could be so affectionate to people he held dearly. Yulia bit her lower lip hard and soon tasted blood.

"I don't want to hear any more rumors about you being my fiancee again. For your family's sake, I'll give you a chance to set things straight, but if you can't, I'll do it myself. Also, consider my offer to help you revive your family name."

As soon as he finished his words, Quill's phone rang.

The indifferent look in his eyes turned gentle the second he looked at the caller. The discovery stunned Yulia, and her heart wrenched.

Why? Why could others have what she yearned for without effort?

While she still had nothing.

How could loving someone be so miserable? She just had feelings for him. Had she really fallen in love with the wrong person?

Just as Quill was about to answer the call, Yulia suddenly said, "I don't need to consider. I accept your help."

She really had nothing now. If Quill still did not belong to her in the end, what else did she have? She should at least have the Maxwell family in her hands. She couldn't lose just like that.
