A Secret, That No One Else Knew...

The office was in silence.

"Just do it." Ford stared at the screen, his pitch—black, ice—cold eyes as sharp as a knife was looking at the photos.

"Are you sure?" Jack raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes full of ridicule.

"Cut the crap!" Ford snorted coldly.

"You're so....."

"Huh?" Ford's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a pervading sense of menace.

Jack swallowed the words that came to his tongue and said "Okay."

Not long Jack left.

In the office, he was the only one left, and the empty space made him feel more lonely.

Ford stretched out his hand and pulled open the drawer. He picked up a cigarette but didn't light it. Instead, he knocked the table with the cigarette between his fingertips.

He was not an idiot.

Julia's evasion of him showed that she really wanted to leave...

But the true love that was imprinted in the flesh and blood couldn't be forgotten easily, and those feelings that were engraved in the bones wouldn't be dispersed.

It was hidden in another place.

The man's desire for control was burning, and he had to regain it back.

The insider phone rang. Ford pressed the speakerphone and the other side spoke respectfully, "President, Miss Green is here for you."

Ford's thin lips curled up. "Tell her to come up in fifteen minutes."

"Alright."

Julia sat at the front desk and waited to see him.

She managed to dodge the attacks of many fans' raw eggs and vegetable leaves with great difficulty and came here.

The fan who photoshopped and posted her photos had good intentions at first, but she didn't expect to cause such a disaster.

When the incident first occurred, a small group of fans were discussing in great pleasure. They didn't expect that a vast amount of hardcore fans would rush over and curse Julia violently.

There were also some fans lying in ambush near at her apartment.

Fortunately, the security of Cloud Bay Apartment was top—notch, so there was no need to worry about being found. These people could only be stationed 500 meters away from the Apartment.

Moreover, she didn't need to go that way to enter. She could directly enter through the underground driveway.

It was mainly because of Lily that she was in such a sorry state.

How could she have many fans?

As Lily opened the window, she said, "Look, these fans are welcoming you."

However, she heard those fans were full of anger and their slogans were the same. It was obvious that they were here to take her life.

Lily, who was overly optimistic, had already gone to wash her miserable car.

Not long after, the receptionist politely came over and said, "Miss Green, come with me."

Under her lead, the two of them arrived at the elevator entrance and waited. At this moment, the elevator door opened and the sound of high heels came from behind.

A young woman dressed in expensive clothes said impolitely, "Excuse me."

The receptionist turned around and obviously recognized her. She respectfully called out, "Hello, Miss Cassie."

Cassie did not answer. She looked at Julia who was wearing a mask and hat. Even so, Cassie still recognized who this woman was.

She no longer looked at Julia. She arrogantly raised her head and said, "You guys wait for another elevator. I want to go up and find Brother Ford."

Her fair skin was tender, her eyes slightly curved, and she had a beautiful pure white face. She made an arrogant gesture, looking a little strange and incongruous.

The receptionist awkwardly said, "Miss Cassie, we are also going to the president's office."

Cassie rolled her eyes and thought for a moment, "Then I'll bring her up. You can go."

"That… isn't good, I should bring Miss Green up." The receptionist hesitated, sheepishly worried.

"Don't worry. I just want to help you." Cassie's voice carried a hint of arrogance. In this building, everyone would respect her, but this secretary dared to refute her.

The secretary looked embarrassed. She was extremely reluctant to offend Cassie. Everyone knew that she was the person recruited by the president. It was said that she was his cousin.

Cassie was delicate and frail like a flower in front of the president. In fact, she was arrogant and domineering, and narrow—minded as well. Whoever offended her, she would make things hard for them.

Julia wanted to relieve the tension and said, "Miss, you go first. Let Cassie bring me up."

"You... know each other?"The secretary heaved a sigh of relief, "Then I'll have to trouble Miss Cassie then."

Actually, she didn't know Cassie very well. Julia only knew that Cassie was the daughter of Ford's aunt. His aunt had adopted Cassie because she couldn't have children. In name, she was Ford's cousin. Actually, the two of them had no blood relationship at all.

Julia only had a few acquaintances with her before. Later on, she heard that she was studying abroad. Now, she should have just returned.

Looking at each other, Julia could tell that Cassie was not a friend but an enemy with just a single glance.

After the elevator door was closed, the two of them stood side by side. Cassie was only 1.58 meters tall. The five—centimeter high heels did not give her much height. But she looked rather cute.

The moment she opened her mouth, the hostility in her voice could not be concealed.

"What are you doing here?"

Julia wasn't stunned by the question, she stared at her for a second and reacted after a while. Cassie had just returned from abroad. She did not know about the matter between her and Ford.

"Just about something." Julia didn't want to talk too much.

Cassie sneered, her voice was full of ridicule, "After all these years, you are still pestering Brother Ford!"

Julia still had a proper smile on her face and did not reply. She wouldn't waste her time quarreling with her. With such childish behaviour, communicating with her would be very tiring.

In her twenty—year—old body, there was a two—year—old IQ.

Cassie became even angrier when she saw that Julia didn't even reply to her. She couldn't help but laugh when she thought of the Twitter post she saw earlier.

"You don't think that you have divorced with the bald old man and can still seduce Brother Ford, do you?" Cassie laughed gloatingly. "Maybe you do. You are shameless for money."

"An old man in his sixties, no matter how many times you call him father, he still needs to take medicine. It's really difficult for you."

"However, only these old men are interested in you. A truly wealthy person won't care you at all."

"You're not in the same world with us, so don't make futile efforts."

After Cassie finished speaking, she felt a burst of joy. The reason why she hated Julia was that Ford treated her differently.

Only because there was a secret that no one else knew.

When she was fourteen years old, she went to the small garden to look for her Brother Ford. When she accidentally saw Brother Ford stared at Julia who was sleeping beside him. And she saw him bent down his head and kissed her hair.

It was a sunny day. The youth's gentle eyes could not conceal his emotions. She could still remember it clearly, and she never saw him show that kind of expression to the others.

Only then did she understand that what everyone thought was not necessarily true.

Everyone felt that Ford hated Julia, but it wasn't true. Only she knew the truth.

Julia shook her head and pursed her mouth, saying, "You're quite experienced."

"What?"

"You know that calling father is useless. Taking medicine is a must."
