Chapter 343: Grace Lynch Sends a Message
CHAPTER 343: CHAPTER 343: GRACE LYNCH SENDS A MESSAGE
Gloria Galloway heard Julian Sterling’s voice from inside, and thought she was hallucinating; Julian Sterling wouldn’t come here.
She heard it quiet down outside, hurriedly pushed away the things at the door, and opened a crack to look out.
One look and she saw the injured Julian Sterling.
Julian Sterling sat on the ground, his face pale, seeing her at home, he didn’t speak.
Gloria Galloway was shocked; Julian Sterling’s body was more precious than gold, a day’s delay would cost millions. She hurriedly found the medical kit.
"Best Actor Sterling, please bear with it for a moment."
She knelt on the floor, started applying medicine for him.
Julian Sterling was sweating heavily, saying nothing.
Gloria Galloway’s medicine applying skills were very proficient, she breathed a sigh of relief after wrapping the bandages.
At this moment, Eleanor Hollis also arrived, saw the situation in the room, knew it was over, and quickly called the police to have the two men taken away.
"Gloria, are you okay?"
She went to Gloria Galloway’s side, looked her over from top to bottom.
Gloria Galloway shook her head, looking at Julian Sterling with some pity.
Hugo Quinn had already helped Julian Sterling up; his status was special, his body couldn’t be neglected, he was to be taken to the hospital for observation, this kind of knife wound was bad if inflamed.
Gloria Galloway and Eleanor Hollis followed behind, and went to the hospital together.
The doctor dismantled the bandages on Julian Sterling’s leg, checked again, then applied medicine to prevent inflammation.
Julian Sterling lay on the bed, suddenly feeling a bit unlucky, ever since he met Gloria Galloway, he’s been unlucky.
Gloria Galloway didn’t dare look into his eyes, the issue with the female star had just passed, and now she had brought such trouble to him.
"I’m here to terminate the contract with you."
Julian Sterling said calmly, picked up the warm water beside him, and slowly took a sip.
Gloria Galloway didn’t refute, seriously listened to him.
"You’re not suited for the assistant position."
Julian Sterling was ruthless, staring at her without blinking.
Gloria Galloway’s eyes instantly red, yet didn’t know what to do, because Julian Sterling was speaking the truth, she had already caused him too much trouble.
"Julian, heal your injury first."
Hugo Quinn, rarely spoke up from the side.
Julian Sterling gave him a slight glance, knowing he was doing this for his wife, a hint of helplessness passed through his eyes.
Afterward, no one spoke again, Julian Sterling’s injury was rather serious, he couldn’t walk for the time being, had to wait at the hospital until the wound scabbed.
Hugo Quinn and Eleanor Hollis needed to pick up their child, no longer planning to stay here, Gloria Galloway followed them down to see them off.
At the hospital’s entrance, Hugo Quinn suddenly glanced at Gloria Galloway.
"You and he have no future, whoever placed you by Julian’s side in the first place, there’s no future. I’ve known him for so many years, always knowing how determined he is, he’ll always wait for that woman, until she comes back, I advise you to give up early, don’t make it difficult for everyone."
Gloria Galloway’s complexion paled, yet she knew he was speaking the truth. She had seen the woman’s photo, no matter the aspect, the woman was far better than her, anyone not blind would know how to choose.
"Hugo..."
Eleanor Hollis tugged his hand, didn’t want him to speak such cruel truths.
Hugo Quinn comfortingly patted her hand, "I’m speaking the truth, Eleanor, when that woman returns, you’ll see, Julian would give up his life for her. Have you seen the scars on his wrists? When that woman left, he attempted suicide, nearly didn’t survive."
Eleanor Hollis suddenly fell silent, because she’d indeed seen the scars on Julian Sterling’s wrists before.
"Gloria, think carefully, now is still time to retreat."
Eleanor Hollis could only gently comfort, then along with Hugo Quinn got in the car,
Gloria Galloway stood there, only feeling her body grow colder.
She knew everyone was looking out for her, afraid he’d get hurt, but Eleanor Hollis got one thing wrong, it was already too late for her, she didn’t know when it started, her mind and heart were filled with that man.
She was a bit at a loss, thought she ought to go see Julian Sterling, so she bought quite a bit of food on the side.
Eleanor Hollis and Hugo Quinn had left far away, stopping at Marcus’ school entrance.
Marcus happened to come out, backpack on, saw the familiar license plate, quickly ran a few steps.
"Dad, in a few days it’s Christmas, have you prepared gifts for Mom and me?"
He had Eleanor Hollis’ knitted scarf around his neck, warm, his eyes bright.
Hugo Quinn ruffled his hair, his mouth curved into a smile.
"What gift do you want?"
Marcus touched the scarf on his neck, then looked up.
"Shall we go skiing as a family of three? I’ve heard Serenford has a snowy mountain, we can go skiing."
Hugo Quinn glanced at Eleanor Hollis, wanting to know if she could ski.
Eleanor Hollis shook her head, she grew up in the countryside, after marrying into the Quinton Family, she was always depressed, never exposed to these things.
"It’s okay, Mom, Dad can teach you, Dad is great at skiing."
Marcus had a face full of admiration, he had seen his Dad ski.
"Alright, I’ll take you this week, no need to wait until Christmas."
Christmas also had other matters to tend to, couldn’t be delayed.
Both big and small started getting excited.
Back home, Eleanor Hollis was about to enter the kitchen to wash fruit, but received a text message on her phone.
——Eleanor Hollis, do you know what kind of days I’m having now? Haha, everything I have is thanks to you, I’m telling you, I have an important secret, it’s about Marcus, if you don’t come, the secret will be buried with me.
Eleanor Hollis looked at the message, didn’t need to think, it must be Grace Lynch.
Since Grace Lynch went to prison, she hadn’t seen her.
A secret about Marcus? What exactly could the secret be?
She felt it necessary to meet her, so she immediately left the living room, greeted the father and son on the sofa, then went out.
At the detention center, she registered at the door, quietly sat at the table inside, waiting for Grace Lynch to arrive.
Soon, the door slowly opened, Grace Lynch was escorted over by two female officers.
She had changed so much, her face completely thinned, revealing high cheekbones, she seemed only to have bones left.
But what hadn’t changed was her gaze, still fierce.
"Eleanor Hollis, seems you’re doing well."
Grace Lynch said venomously, her gaze slithering over her like a snake.
Eleanor Hollis leaned back slightly, she was no longer the small woman she once was, even in negotiations, she held the upper hand!
