Chapter 275: Chapter 275: Giving Her a Sense of Security

"Tell Caleb Shaw that I will attend tomorrow night’s inauguration party at The Innovation Hub. Also, make sure Mrs. Sinclair knows this news."

Raine Kane didn’t quite understand the implication, but from Juliana’s calm tone, she sensed a storm brewing and immediately felt a chill. She lowered her head and said, "Understood, I’ll arrange it right away."

After seeing Raine Kane off, Juliana Jacobs looked out the window.

She closed her right eye, and the view outside became a blur. She clenched her fist and then gradually loosened it...

Elias Langley had delayed a lot of work to accompany her in the hospital, working late into the night before returning.

In order not to disturb her, he decided to rest in the study.

Early the next morning, just as he entered the master bedroom, he heard a loud crash from the bathroom.

Rushing in, he found it was Juliana who had broken the rinsing cup.

"Don’t move, let me clean it up."

Juliana paused as she was about to pick up a piece of broken porcelain.

Elias Langley crouched down and carefully took the broken piece from her hand, moving the trash can closer.

"Sorry, I wanted to put it away..."

"Go wait for me outside."

Elias Langley interrupted her.

Juliana stood up and went into the bedroom.

When Elias Langley came out after cleaning up, she was still sitting quietly on the edge of the bed, not moving.

The man bypassed her and sat on her left, reaching out to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear.

However, it was only when he touched her hair that her eyes blinked.

Elias Langley pressed his lips together to suppress the surge of emotions within him and said gently, "I will accompany you to rehabilitation therapy; you will definitely recover."

Juliana nodded, her throat too choked to speak, but Elias Langley held her in his arms.

That afternoon, Juliana arrived at The Innovation Hub.

The entire first floor had been set up for the party, and Caleb Shaw was conducting a final inspection before the start.

Seeing her, Caleb Shaw walked over.

"I didn’t rush you to work, why not rest more at home?" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Though the wound in her hair was well treated and covered so that it wasn’t visible, her slightly pale complexion still revealed her illness.

He had been a doctor and naturally understood the severity of her injuries.

Juliana smiled, "I wanted to install a few cameras."

Caleb Shaw raised an eyebrow, "For such a small thing, couldn’t you just have sent me a message?"

"But I also wanted to tell you, no matter what happens tonight, don’t be surprised."

Caleb Shaw was startled, then laughed, "As long as you’re well, Summer Shaw will be happy. What is there for me to be surprised at?"

Chatting, the two walked towards the lounge area.

In the evening, as the host, Juliana arrived early, dressed in an evening gown.

On such occasions, Elias Langley was naturally there to support his wife.

Juliana, still recovering from her injuries, didn’t persist for long before a faint headache set in.

"Go rest for a while." Elias Langley pulled her into his embrace.

"But there are still guests..."

Elias Langley smiled softly, "Can’t I represent you?"

Juliana laughed at his words.

The image of such a prominent figure greeting guests at the entrance on her behalf struck her as both amusing and a bit guilt-inducing.

Yet it was precisely this willingness to "stoop" for her in small matters that gave her the deepest sense of security.

"Thank you, dear husband."

This term "husband" pleased Elias Langley greatly.

With a look, he summoned Raine Kane.

Raine Kane caught on and helped Juliana go to rest.

Just as they turned, Mrs. Sinclair walked in with her adopted daughter.

Passing through the security scanner, the device didn’t alarm.

The sharpness in Elias Langley’s eyes dissipated.

"Elias, I didn’t receive an invitation. You won’t shut me out, will you?" Mrs. Sinclair said.

A composed, polite smile appeared on Elias Langley’s face.

"How could I? You’ve always lived a reclusive life. It’s an honor to have you at Aetherflame’s party. Welcome, welcome."

Mrs. Sinclair listened to his family-like tone with Juliana and her mouth twitched slightly.

He used to be like family with the Sinclair Family.

"You haven’t visited Mr. Sinclair for several days, have you?"

Elias Langley nodded frankly, "Juliana was hospitalized, I couldn’t leave. Didn’t you know?"

Mrs. Sinclair was taken aback by his words.

Caleb Shaw conveniently stepped forward, "Welcome, Mrs. Sinclair. Please come inside."

It was only then that Mrs. Sinclair nodded and led Isabelle Sinclair inside.

Tonight’s guests weren’t actually complicated; they were all leading figures in Kingsford’s industry, and even Sean Paxton wasn’t qualified to be invited.

Raine Kane assisted Juliana into the lounge.

As soon as the door closed, she hurriedly advanced and whispered, "April Wallace and her daughter have sneaked in as our party’s waitstaff; they might be up to something big tonight."

Juliana, sitting on the sofa rubbing her forehead, lifted her eyelids gently upon hearing this.

"Still not giving up?"

Raine Kane lowered her voice a bit, "Lena Dalton has drugs on her, targeting Mr. Langley."

Juliana was momentarily stunned, then suddenly laughed.

"I was just about to deal with Isabelle Sinclair, and she’s willing to act as the gun—a perfect setup coming right to me. Is my luck finally changing for the better for such a good thing to happen?"

Raine Kane, enlightened by her, chuckled with delight.

"Sounds fun, quickly tell me what will you do?"

...

At this moment, April Wallace and her daughter were smugly stationed in the temporary logistics area.

They had infiltrated by applying to an outsourced service company with fake IDs. The process went smoothly, and no one suspected a thing.

However, Lena Dalton was a bit nervous.

"Mom, will Mr. Langley drink this wine?"

"Just do as I say, it will definitely work."

April Wallace reassured her excitedly.

"I’ve already bribed a waiter. After you give Mr. Langley the drugged wine, he will ’accidentally’ soil his clothes, prompting him to go to the lounge to change. At that time, be proactive... soon we’ll have endless glory and wealth."

Lena Dalton nodded, adjusted her tie, and prepared to serve at the front.

April Wallace stopped her, "Did you take the fertility drug? Try to conceive tonight."

Lena Dalton whispered shyly, "I took it as the instructions said, on the way here."

"If you can secure the man in one stroke, Mr. Langley will definitely value you even more than Juliana. By then, as your mother-in-law, I’ll be stepping out in a luxury car, with eight bodyguards, and an entire house full of Chanel bags, changing one every day."

"Mom, the ceremony is about to start; Mr. Langley is alone now, we’re running out of time."

Lena Dalton brushed her off, picked up a tray, and headed to the front service area.

By this time, most of the guests had already arrived.

And Elias Langley was in conversation with two friends.

Lena Dalton stifled her excitement and stepped towards him.

Unexpectedly, she was stopped halfway.

It was the head waiter of the night who blocked her.

"There’s a lady over there who needs a sugar-free drink; please take one to her."

"But... Mr. Langley specifically requested that I serve him wine."

Lena Dalton quickly came up with an excuse.

The head waiter said displeasedly, "Leave the wine here first, take the sugar-free drink over to that lady, then serve Mr. Langley. I’ll watch it for you, okay?"

Lena Dalton had no choice and hurried to the logistics area to retrieve a sugar-free drink and deliver it.

Returning to the head waiter’s station, she saw the wine untouched, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

She then picked it up and walked towards Elias Langley...
