Chapter 305 Eat With Stephen

The woman's long hair was curled, and her smile was gentle.

Seeing that Yvette did not speak, she was not embarrassed and said, "I was very happy when I heard that you had escaped from death. I have been looking for a chance to treat you to a meal."

When the woman spoke, she stood appropriately beside the man, revealing only half of her body and face, looking like Lance's timid girlfriend.

As a woman, Yvette's sixth sense was very strong.

This woman must like Lance.

In an instant, Yvette's good opinion of him because of his decisiveness during the divorce vanished.

Huh! Scum!

He really had good luck with women. He was surrounded by women.

Yvette said indifferently, "I'm sorry, but you mistook me for someone else."

Juliette wanted to say something else. However, the elevator made a tinkling sound and arrived at the designated floor.

Yvette directly walked out and did not even look at Lance.

There were only the embarrassed Juliette and Lance, whose face was cold, in the elevator.

Before Yvette reached the corner, her phone rang.

She picked it up and said in a sweet voice, "Stephen."

She looked very much like she had received a call from her boyfriend..

Immediately, Lance's face turned sullen.

When they were divorced, she promised that she would not hide from him. Now she did not avoid him, but she pretended not to know him.

She spared no effort to show that he was a stranger to her.

Juliette, who was at the side, observed Lance's expression and knew that he was angry. As for where his anger came from...

She looked at the elevator door that was about to close. Her eyes darkened.

Juliette learned about Yvette's return from Lance. However, that was all. Lance did not say anything else.

She turned to look at Lance and asked, "Did Yvette throw a tantrum at you?"

Lance's attention was still focused on Yvette's sexy dress, which set off her good figure. She looked pure and charming in it. She really dared to wear it.

"No. She has lost her memory," he told Juliette gloomily.

"Lost her memory?" Juliette was a little shocked. No wonder Yvette behaved like she didn't know Juliette just now.

"I really didn't expect it," Juliette murmured.

In fact, when Juliette knew that Yvette had come back alive, Juliette was a little flustered.

Juliette had helped Lance for so long without regrets and asked her father for support during Lance's most difficult time. She used all the resources of the Beckford family to take a big gamble. The effect was very obvious, she had bet on the right person.

With Lance's strength, even if he did not have the help of the Beckford family, as long as he wanted to, it would only be a matter of time before he rose again.

The help of the Beckford family was just icing on the cake.

However, the media reported the Beckford family's wisdom as timely help and publicized it.

They made the Beckford family the benefactors of the young master of the Wolseley family.

The Beckford family had benefited from this and had the absolute right to choose from many of the new projects of the Wolseley Group.

Juliette's decision brought the Beckford family to a higher position. The Beckford family was satisfied.

The only regret was that Juliette was not yet Lance's wife. Before Yvette came back, this matter had already been discussed by Tanya and Juliette's parents.

Only Lance opposed, yet Tanya would definitely not listen to him.

As his mother, it was impossible for her to watch her son go astray and have no descendants.

Therefore, Tanya took Juliette as her daughter-in-law and brought Juliette with her everywhere. And Tanya expressed that Juliette had not been married to Lance because the fortune teller said the right time had not come yet.

It was not that Lance had not stopped Tanya. Tanya had been tortured to the point of neurasthenia by Colton's affairs in the past few years. As long as Lance objected, she would cry and blow up.

In the face of the coercion of the elders, Juliette had always stood firmly on Lance's side.

She made it clear that she had no intention of marrying Lance or anyone else and told Lance to rest assured.

She even wholeheartedly devoted herself to the work and got several important projects for the Wolseley Group, which greatly increased the profits.

Because of this, she received the position of vice president of the Wolseley Group.

In the end, Lance did not mention this matter anymore, but he also used action to show his attitude that he would never marry again.

The unanimous silence in the Wolseley family made the media think that Juliette was Lance's future wife.

They thought that Tanya was superstitious, so Juliette and Lance could not get married.

In addition, Juliette had been doing charity work all year round and showing a gentle and kind image in front of the public, so everyone felt it was unfair to Juliette.

However, they had never thought about how many benefits the Beckford family had gotten from the Wolseley family. The Beckford family were originally wealthy merchants in Philadelphia, yet now, they even had a place in New York. Who exactly did they rely on?

While public opinion and elders were pressuring Lance, Juliette pretended to be magnanimous. She could gain benefits and Lance's guilt.

She was not in a hurry. She had plenty of time to wait. Anyway, regardless of whether Lance was married or not, the woman beside him could only be her.

And now, Yvette came back alive. Juliette was anxious.

However, Juliette was calm and steady enough not to show it at all. Otherwise, she could not have pretended to be innocent in front of Lance for so long.

At this time, Juliette was still collected and said in a serious tone, "Lance, how are the effects of the treatment in Luxembourg these days? Does your head still hurt?"

"It's okay."

Lance was concise, and he was not too concerned about this matter.

When Yvette disappeared, he could not sleep all night. The longest time was a week, and he really had not slept for a minute or a second.

Tanya was afraid that he would suddenly die, so she forced him to see a doctor. Later, he took medicine to stabilize the time of sleep, but because of this, he had a nerve ache. Once this illness flared up, he could not work at all, and there was no medicine to cure it.

He could only go to a foreign research institute to use a specific device to treat it. Fortunately, it only happened once a year, yet this time, after the divorce, it flared up again.

It was not a good sign that the time was four months ahead, yet Lance did not take it to heart.

At this moment, all his attention was on the woman just now.

If not for the fact that he had to meet an important guest tonight, he would have gone to her the moment he got off the plane. He didn't expect to bump into her here.

In the car on the way back, he listened to Frankie report on Yvette's life.

She ate with Stephen.

They ate three meals together a week.

After dinner, they even went to the park for a walk, looking like they were in a relationship. Thinking about the intimate way she had called Stephen just now, Lance was filled with jealousy. Seeing that the man's attention was not on her, Juliette was very upset and began to talk about work. "This time, with the help of Quinn Michael, I believe that we will definitely be able to get the contract."

She had spent a whole month staying abroad to persuade Quinn so that the Wolseley family could gain a foothold in the new energy industry.

In the eyes of outsiders, Juliette did that purely for the Wolseley family, but it was not true.

The market for new energy was too big, and it was not something that the Beckford family could dominate. Yet as long as the Wolseley Group entered this industry, the Beckford family could get the biggest portion of it.

Juliette had already considered it in her heart.

Although this job was difficult, it could help her become Lance's wife and gain benefits, so she was happy to do it.

Moreover, everyone would only think that she would definitely marry Lance. Otherwise, there was no need for her to work so hard for the Wolseley family.

However...

Juliette's eyes darkened.

She didn't expect that Yvette would come back from the dead after Juliette spent a month abroad.

But so what? Juliette had carefully schemed for five years. Her plan would not be disturbed b a dead person.
