CEO Ex-Husband, Don't Bother Me-Chapter 170 - 145: What About Last Night?

Juliet Jennings sobbed, "That time I went to Thailos a few years ago... when she and your son were attacked... I was the one who sent their photo to Wendy Lowe..."

Julian Donovan’s gaze hardened, and Juliet Jennings shuddered again in fear. ’So that’s why,’ he thought. At the time, she and Dylan had almost never been seen in public. How could Wendy Lowe, who was all the way back in the country, have known about them? ’So it was her—the woman he once planned to spend his life with—who had betrayed him!’ All these years, every time he recalled Naomi Shaw and Dylan’s assassination attempt, his heart would twist in agony and lingering fear.

Juliet Jennings tearfully explained, "I only did it because Wendy Lowe backed me into a corner! She had a compromising photo of me. You know that for an actress, if a photo like that gets out, my career in this industry would be completely over!"

It took all of Julian Donovan’s self-control not to reach for his gun and shoot her again just to vent his rage. "You made your own mess, and you paid for it with other people’s lives. You’re truly selfish and ruthless!"

"And what about last night?"

As he spoke, Julian Donovan reached for his gun anyway and aimed it at Juliet Jennings. Last night had been his most wrenching pain. His precious daughter had been hurt so badly. ’I really want to slash her leg, too, just to let her have a taste of it,’ he thought. ’No! I should slash her across that face of hers!’

Terrified by his chilling gaze, Juliet Jennings could only tremble where she lay. "Last night... I-I planned it with Wendy Lowe... And the photos from your teacher’s funeral last time..."

By the end, she was too frightened to speak loudly, because she heard the sound of a bullet being chambered. She completely broke down, screaming incoherently through her tears, "Julian Donovan, I only did all this because I love you too much! How can you be so cruel? How can you have no regard for our past?"

"Juliet Jennings, because of you, I made an enemy of Wendy Lowe. Because of you, I lost the woman I love most for three years. Because of you, I brought mortal danger upon my two children. This is all heaven’s punishment for me—punishment for hurting her for so many years over a woman who was never worth my love. And I accept it!"

Julian Donovan rose to his feet and said with icy coldness, "I will destroy you. After that, the score between us will be settled. For the rest of my life... I never want to see you again!"

With that, Julian Donovan turned and left without a backward glance. Juliet Jennings wailed hysterically behind him, "Julian Donovan, you can’t do this to me... Ah... Ahhh..."

He said he would destroy her, and she knew that with his power, he could do anything. She managed to prop herself up and grab her phone to call the mysterious person who had been texting her for help. But the person just coldly threw a single sentence at her: You’re of no use anymore. Her vision went black, and she fainted. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Of course, Julian Donovan wasn’t going to let Juliet Jennings die. He immediately arranged for doctors from his own hospital to save her. He had already recorded everything she had confessed. Once he publicly released all the vicious things she had done, she would be utterly ruined.

’Didn’t she also mention that Wendy Lowe had a compromising photo of her?’ He would have someone get it from Wendy Lowe immediately and release it along with everything else. Then, Juliet Jennings would never be able to make a comeback.

He wouldn’t kill her. He wanted her to live a life worse than death. He wanted her to live forever scorned by the world and pay the price for her viciousness.

When Willow Summers and Lillian Huxley heard that Joy was injured, they came together to visit. Their partners came along as well, giving Naomi Shaw her first chance to meet them: Walter Jennings and Caleb Rhodes. Walter Jennings had the resolute aura of a soldier, while Caleb Rhodes was a calm and wise man.

Julian Donovan, on the other hand, was the type of man who appeared gentle on the surface but was actually cold and arrogant. Felix Draper had already visited earlier. The arrival of Caleb Rhodes and Walter Jennings signaled that Julian Donovan had completely pulled Naomi Shaw into his social circle, even though she had been constantly pushing him away.

The three men went outside to chat, while the three women stayed in the hospital room with Joy. Joy sat obediently against the bed, playing with the toys Willow Summers and Lillian Huxley had bought for her. She would cry from the pain when her dressing was changed, but as soon as it was over and re-bandaged, she was always a well-behaved girl.

Naomi Shaw took out the two concert tickets Willow Summers had given her earlier. "Willow, look at Joy’s condition. I’m afraid she and I won’t be able to go to the concert anymore. You should take these two tickets back. You can give them to someone else. Otherwise, they’ll just go to waste if I keep them."
