Chapter 333: Chapter 333: You Can’t Just Fix Things by Getting Rid of Me Each Time There’s a Problem
Elias Langley turned his gaze towards her, "Keeping Florence Sinclair is because she is a valuable piece of evidence herself, no matter what you plan to do, protect yourself first."
Raine Kane continued to report: "The other person who appeared in the live stream yesterday was Old Mr. Hughes. The one who invited him in and sent you the friend request was the same person, but the registration information was under an illiterate old lady. Clearly, the identity was stolen."
Elias Langley closed his eyes, "So, does this person have the video footage?"
This obvious answer left Raine Kane silent.
Old Mr. Hughes is easy to handle, for the sake of his grandson and the Hughes Family’s reputation, he would certainly keep his mouth shut.
But the person lurking in the shadows, holding the evidence, is the real uncontrollable threat.
"If it affects you, maybe we should divorce." Juliana Jacobs said.
Elias Langley instantly furrowed his brows, "We can solve this problem, but you can’t just solve me whenever there’s an issue."
"No, I’m calm," Juliana was very composed, "I’ve already stirred up enough trouble, but I must preserve your dignity within the circle, as you are more valuable and can do more than me. Besides..."
Her voice choked slightly.
Elias Langley grasped her hand.
"First, you are not at fault. The harm you experienced is a challenge directed at me. If I let go of you at this moment, it would be surrender; second, true safeguarding isn’t pushing me to a safe island. If I can’t protect my own woman, then I, Elias Langley, am the most useless man. What dignity would there be to speak of?"
As he finished, he hugged Juliana tightly in his arms.
Juliana’s cheek pressed against his warm chest, clearly hearing the steady and powerful heartbeat.
Once, this embrace also made her feel cold.
She blamed him because of Isabelle Sinclair, pushed him away because of Florence Sinclair, and distanced herself because of Clara Fairchild.
But when it was her turn to be trapped in an unbearable whirlpool, he reached out to her without any hesitation, embodying the phrase "a couple is one" to the fullest extent.
This unconditional trust and shelter, like a blazing warm current, fiercely shattered the defenses she had built with ice.
However, at that moment, Mrs. Sinclair’s phone call came.
"Is Juliana by your side?" Mrs. Sinclair asked.
"Do you need something?" Elias Langley’s voice showed no emotion.
"You both should come back someday."
Mrs. Sinclair hung up the phone without explaining.
Elias Langley put away the phone, his gaze turned cold.
"I’ll go with you."
Juliana’s check-up was complete, there was no need to stay in the hospital. Seeing Elias Langley’s expression, she knew Mrs. Sinclair’s summons was not good news. Since he chose to bear it together, she was willing to face it with him.
An hour later, the red flag stopped at the entrance of Sinclair Manor.
It was cold again today. When getting off the car, Juliana shivered involuntarily from the biting cold air.
Elias Langley immediately wrapped her in his arms and walked inside.
In the Sinclair Manor’s living room, Sebastian Sinclair and Old Mr. Sinclair were not present, only Mrs. Sinclair and Florence Sinclair were there.
"Mom, it’s cold. I made some longan and red date tea for you to warm up."
As she spoke, Florence Sinclair handed Mrs. Sinclair the steaming cup with both hands.
Mrs. Sinclair accepted the cup of tea, the warmth spreading from her palm to her heart.
These days, with Florence Sinclair staying at home, she showed great concern, caring for her thoroughly and considerately.
Feeling this affection, the advice her husband had given her in the past began to loosen slightly in her heart.
Perhaps his view was a bit biased.
Although Florence wasn’t her biological daughter, she was also very obedient and considerate, and she even resembled the daughter she had lost, Helena. Isn’t this a gift from heaven to console her?
Having taken a sip of the sweet longan tea, with a gentle smile hanging at the corners of her lips from the warmth Florence Sinclair had brought her, Elias Langley and Juliana Jacobs walked in together.
The smile on Mrs. Sinclair’s face instantly froze at the corners of her mouth and faded.
Elias Langley ignored her attitude, moving further inside with Juliana Jacobs.
Because the further inside, the warmer it got.
"Mrs. Sinclair, you called us here for something?" Elias Langley asked.
Mrs. Sinclair did not answer directly but turned the tablet on the table towards them.
The paused scene on the screen was precisely the footage of Juliana Jacobs and Auden Hughes "entangled" in the teahouse’s private room.
"Elias, regardless of what you think, in my heart, you’ll always be a member of the Sinclair Family. This woman has behaved inappropriately, which would not only affect your career but also drag down the Sinclair Family’s reputation. Today you must make a decision."
"What decision?" Elias Langley feigned ignorance.
Mrs. Sinclair’s voice raised slightly, "You must divorce her!"
Florence Sinclair’s lips curled slightly in a barely noticeable smile.
Elias Langley sneered, "Since Mrs. Sinclair has seen the video, you know my wife is the victim. Instead of pursuing who was responsible for orchestrating this, you’re eager for me to divorce my injured wife. Is this your character?"
Mrs. Sinclair was momentarily speechless.
Florence Sinclair, fearing she might waver, quickly advised, "Elias, Mom’s first reaction upon seeing this video was to worry about you. After all, if it can be sent to Mom, it can be sent to everyone. If the video gets exposed, Juliana would be greatly humiliated, and your diligently built career would be severely affected. Mom is thinking for your own good."
"Are you threatening me?" Elias Langley said coldly.
Florence Sinclair’s breathing halted.
Does he know something?
Seeing Elias Langley targeting the adoptive daughter, Mrs. Sinclair sternly interrupted, "Elias, don’t be stubborn. Before the video gets seen by everyone, quickly sever ties with her. Your teacher, Mr. Sinclair... also thinks so."
Juliana raised an eyebrow at Mrs. Sinclair.
After being apart for so many years, she even learned how to lie.
Anyway, someone who could even sacrifice her own daughter couldn’t be expected to have reasonable actions or words, could she?
Juliana chuckled softly, saying nothing.
Elias Langley remained indifferent to Mrs. Sinclair’s words, instead focusing on critical information within them.
"Who sent the video to you?"
"It was..." Mrs. Sinclair hesitated, "I don’t know who it was. I received it in my inbox early today but does that matter? Right now, what’s important is not letting you get implicated by Juliana!"
Elias Langley walked to the table, tapping the screen with his slender finger a few times, then took out his phone and dialed.
The call was answered almost instantly.
"Trace an anonymous email, IP origin. I’ll wait for the results on-site."
Florence Sinclair felt a jolt in her heart.
In reality, though calculating Juliana’s move was risky, it was the most sophisticated plan she thought of.
She sacrificed her fiancé to set up this scenario: to make Elias Langley abandon Juliana while also showing the Hughes Family that Auden Hughes was not clean, dispelling the notion of canceling the engagement.
However, Elias Langley’s acuteness became the sole variable in this multifaceted scheme.
Nevertheless, the anonymous email was forwarded by her to someone else, who then sent it from abroad anonymously to Mrs. Sinclair’s email.
So even if he could trace the IP address, it wouldn’t lead back to her.
Yes, Elias won’t find out!
He definitely won’t find out!
