69: Chapter 69 He Stands Behind Her
69 -69 He Stands Behind Her
“Austin Langston’s debut plan is ready,” Douglas Hayes said through the video conference, waiting for Julia Land to make a decision.
He was the person Julia Land had recruited to manage Orange Brokerage.
Julia Land first went online to check out the show “Let’s Sing Together”, which features duets with A-list celebrities.
And the recent episodes had been trending.
If a newcomer had solid talent, they could gain a lot of fan attention.
She then checked Arabella Shaw’s official announcement.
Arabella was also going to participate in this show.
“Do you have a way in?
To participate in this program, you at least need a spot,” Julia Land remarked.
With that comment, Douglas Hayes knew she had agreed.
“I know the head director of the show, so getting a spot for one episode is feasible,” Douglas Hayes replied confidently.
“Alright, I’ll leave it to you.”
They discussed the company’s future plans.
As a talent agency, it was essential to have artists with promising futures.
“For now, visit the Film Academy and look at this year’s graduates,” Julia Land thought for a moment, “We need to build a reputation quickly, and Austin Langston is the first step.”
At that moment, someone rang the doorbell.
“Just a moment, I’ll go see who it is,” Julia Land said.
She slightly closed her laptop screen and went to answer the door.
Outside was the bodyguard responsible for delivering the new sofa.
“Thank you,” Julia Land said as she opened the door to let them bring in the new sofa.
They also took away the old sofa.
James Thompson had a way of keeping up to date; as soon as the sofa was replaced, he sent a message, “Sophia, have you covered your face with a mask yet?”
Julia Land seriously typed back, “No, because I spilled red wine on the old sofa.”
The red wine hid the fervent traces from last night.
Taking a sip of coffee, James Thompson stopped abruptly, “How are you so clever?”
Julia Land chuckled lightly, choosing not to continue the exchange, feeling it might otherwise go on forever.
She returned to her bedroom to open her laptop and continued discussing company matters with Douglas Hayes.
After the discussion, she went to knock on Sophia Hart’s door.
“Sophia, get up and eat something.”
A strained voice came from the room, “Alright.”
Sophia Hart turned over, reaching for her phone on the nightstand.
She glanced at a message from an unknown number.
“Sophia, are you alright?”
Sophia deleted the message.
It had the effect of instantly sobering her up.
Twenty minutes later, she opened her door, dressed in pajamas and clutching a teddy bear as she walked into the living room, “Grace, what are we eating?
Ah, I’m so tired.”
“I’ve made chicken soup; have some first to warm your stomach,” Julia Land put down her phone, went into the kitchen, and soon came out with a bowl of chicken soup that wasn’t too hot, just warm.
Sophia sat on the sofa, put down the teddy bear, and took the bowl of soup, savoring it, “The sofa’s actually new.”
Her words had a playfully teasing tone.
The soup was delicious, and she finished it in two breaths.
Julia Land bent down to take a tissue from the coffee table to wipe Sophia’s mouth.
That bend allowed Sophia to catch a glimpse of the skin on Julia’s lower back.
There were many ambiguous marks there.
“Grace, don’t wear short clothes that show your waist these next few days.”
Sophia blushed, tempted to look again.
It was really quite…
embarrassing.
Julia Land instinctively touched her lower back.
She couldn’t see the backside, obviously unaware of the situation there.
He had spent a long time behind her last night.
Julia Land sent a message to James Thompson.
Julia Land, “Don’t you dare come over tonight.”
James Thompson glanced at his phone and with his well-defined fingers, he sent an emoji in the chat.
James Thompson, “@@”

“Miss Land, there are three people downstairs asking to see you.
A woman claims she’s your mother, and the other two gentlemen are surnamed Langston.”
Visitors who wish to enter the Sincere Heart Community Building must register at the management office first.
Then the management staff would call the residents.
Julia Land raised an eyebrow.
Why was the Mrs.
Land who had vowed to cut ties with her here, and people from the Langston Family as well?
How very odd.
“I won’t see them.
I’m not available today.”
She knew very well that they wouldn’t be visiting her without an ulterior motive.
Only if she were foolish would she agree to see them.
“Alright,” the management staff hung up and explained to Grace Land and the others, “Sorry, Miss Land said she will not see you.”
Grace Land felt humiliated.
She looked at her husband, “She won’t see us, let’s just leave.”
Cory Langston was reluctant to just leave like that, “Let’s wait for her.”
He then turned to the management staff with a very polite tone, “Would you mind calling her again for us?
We’ll wait for her, we really do have something important.”
Seeing his polite demeanor, the management staff reluctantly made another phone call.
“Miss Land, those people just now said they will continue to wait for you on the first floor.”
Suddenly, Grace Land grabbed the phone and demanded, “Julia Land, if you don’t see us today, I will come here every day.”
Julia Land covered her mouth, chuckled, “Oh, I can’t let others say I lack hospitality.”
She hung up the phone.
Grace Land snorted, hung up the phone, and said to Cory Langston, “Husband, she’ll come down soon.”
With a slight smile on her lips, Julia Land kindly placed an order for three cups of coffee on the delivery app and had it sent to Mrs.
Land on the first floor.
She was being so hospitable, even offering them coffee, to ensure they would have plenty of energy to wait for her forever.
Sophia Hart thought she was about to receive guests and was ready to retreat to her bedroom.
Julia Land humorously pulled Sophia to sit down, “I’m not going to meet them.”
Downstairs, Grace Land and the other two had waited for over ten minutes, only to be greeted by a delivery person with coffee.
Victor Langston, holding a coffee, wasn’t too dense to figure it out quickly, “Dad, Julia Land has no intention of meeting with us.”
Grace Land had married into the Langston Family and given birth to Victor and Stella Langston, technically making Victor Julia Land’s stepbrother.
Cory Langston frowned, slightly agitated, “Let’s head back.”
Julia Land received a message from her bodyguard.
Informing her that Grace Land and the others had left the Sincere Heart Community Building.
She supported her chin, pondered for a moment, and was indeed a bit curious about what had happened with the Langston Family.
Unfortunately, she didn’t have the resources to investigate at the moment.
Come evening, Julia Land prepared for a walk in the park.
Sophia was too lazy to go.
With no other choice, Julia Land changed into a set of sportswear and headed downstairs.
When the elevator reached the first floor,
she walked out with her hands in her pockets and looked up only to see James Thompson sitting in his car.
He got out of the car and approached her, “I didn’t go up to find you, you came down on your own.”
They looked at each other.
And shared a smile.
“I’m going for a walk,” Julia Land led the way, the setting sun cast a warm hue on her figure.
James Thompson followed behind, watching her.
Having someone to accompany her on her walk felt a bit different.

James Thompson took long strides to catch up to her and walked beside her, “The Langstons who came to find you today are losing money in their supermarket.”
Julia Land nodded in realization, “So they’re losing money and came to find me for what?”
A hint of a cold smile tugged at James’s lips, directed at the Langston Family, “You’re worth tens of billions now, remember?”
“Oh, so they came to rob me, huh?
But what makes them think I would help them?”
Julia Land lightly touched the tip of her nose with a slender finger.
“Do I look like the Virgin Mary?”
