Seeing Emelia, who had a pure and innocent look, behind Julian, Tara stared at her in hatred.

However, when her gaze met the ice in Julian's eyes, Tara looked away in frustration.

She was furious, but what could she do?

She couldn't even protect herself. Thinking of that, she shed tears again.

Julian entered the office. The policemen greeted him with smiles and served him tea.

Julian responded to them indifferently. Then he looked over at Heather and called, "Mom."

He didn't speak any extra words. Even others could tell they were not close.

Emelia felt helpless. She walked up and whispered to Heather, "How are you? Did you get hurt?"

She inwardly blamed Julian for not even acting as being close to his mother in outsiders' presence. Wasn't he afraid they would mock them?

Heather was a proud woman, so she didn't want others to know that Julian disliked her.

Fortunately, Emelia was sensible. She greeted Heather on Julian's behalf. Heather was touched. Shaking her head, she answered, "I'm fine, Emelia."

Tara's agent also rushed over from the Capital as soon as possible. She helped Tara up from the floor and said to Julian and others with reddened eyes, "Tara has known she has been wrong, Mr. Hughes, Ms. Duncan. Please forgive her and let her go. Now, this matter has been exposed online. She'll be in trouble in the circle..."

Before Julian answered, Heather sneered. "As I said, I could accept not to sue her, but she must announce to quit the entertainment business."

Tara's agent said with a bitter smile, "Is there any difference if she doesn't?"

Tara's agent also had her own plans. As long as Tara didn't quit the circle after the public had forgotten this incident, Tara could revive.

Even if she couldn't make big money, she could earn some allowances.

However, Heather wasn't a fool. She knew how scheming women could be.

Besides, she also noticed Tara's hateful gaze on Emelia. Although Julian stopped her, Heather still felt disgusted.

Heather was fond of torturing others the most, especially Tara, a shameless mistress. She wanted to vent her anger on Tara.

Raising her eyebrows, Heather said to Tara's agent, "Hence, I've changed my mind again.

"I want her to apologize to me on Twitter and tell the public she has deliberately driven a wedge between Emelia and me."

If Tara took the initiative to apologize and admitted her evil intention, she could fall flat on her face.

In the future, if anyone dared to hire Tara, the public would boycott that.

Upon hearing Heather's request, not only Tara but also her agent shed tears. "Ms. Duncan, please leave us a way out?"

"Do you feel aggrieved?" Heather was furious when seeing them weeping. She raised her voice and said, "If she hadn't deliberately made trouble, would I have given her a hard time? Would I have been slandered by the internet?

"I was leading a peaceful life, but she purposely provoked me. I almost had a heart attack. I was also scolded by people online. Who has considered my feelings? Who has given me a way out?

"What if I were so fragile that I was pissed to death by her?"

Heather blew up, and others were rendered speechless by her.

Her words made sense. She was enjoying her retirement, but Tara purposely provoked her. Heather was indeed innocent, although she fought back.

Heather pulled out her phone and browsed the post by the PR department of Hughes Group. She asked Julian aggressively, "Who allowed them to write this post like this? What does it mean by I feel sorry for my behaviors? I am not! I won't apologize. I didn't make any mistakes.

"If that happened again, I would splash the coffee on her and slap her. I would hit her more fiercely."

Heather was so aggressive that the lawyer behind Julian dared not to speak at all.

Julian's temples popped.

None one knew that he had a mental shadow for Heather's yells. When he was little, Heather was like this when arguing with Gerhard. She was aggressive and arrogant, almost breaking down Julian.

In the end, he had PTSD towards her voice. Whenever he heard it, he felt upset. For a long time, he would suffer from a migraine.

Hence, Julian always avoided having conflicts with Heather. Otherwise, whenever she yelled, he would have an intense migraine.

Emelia could tell that he wasn't well. Although she didn't know what had happened, she felt sorry for him.

Pinching his hand gently, she walked up and said, "Since this incident is also about me, may I have a word?

"I agree with Ms. Duncan's decision. Ms. White, please make an apology in public and explain what has happened in detail. In that case, we won't sue you." Emelia hadn't married Julian yet, so she addressed Heather as Ms. Duncan.

She agreed with Heather's decision because Tara did ask for it.

Tara lacked self-respect and turned out to be too shameless.

Heather didn't expect Emelia to agree with her. After all, this solution she came up with was well played. Emelia had always been soft-hearted, so Heather was afraid Emelia would stop her. Heather also knew Julian was pretty obedient to Emelia now. Hence, with Emelia's support, she felt more confident. Looking at Tara and her agent coldly, she said, "Now the ball's in your court." "Okay. I'll apologize," Tara said while sobbing.

If she said no, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to leave the police station. Julian had brought along a lawyer.

"Okay. We look forward to seeing it. Better I can see it tomorrow morning when I wake up." Heather felt delighted after venting her anger.

Since they wouldn't sue her, Tara didn't need to continue staying in the police station. She and her agent stood up and fled out as if they were running for their lives.

Emelia looked at their receding figure and didn't pity them at all.

If Tara hadn't played with fire, she wouldn't have gotten burned. She should have realized it now.

Julian and others also left the police station. Julian kept quiet because his migraine hadn't been relieved yet.

Although Heather argued for their own good and Julian didn't mean to complain, he had PTSD.

Heather stood beside the car and said to her son and Emelia, "It's all my fault. Sorry for asking you to come all the way here."

Julian didn't answer. Emelia had to reply on his behalf, "It's not your fault, Ms. Duncan. It happened because of me, after all."

"It's quite late now. What about you guys staying at my house tonight?" Heather invited them sincerely, studying her son carefully, afraid that Julian would turn her down.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
