The Diaz Group held a press conference to apologize, confirming that it was Caroline’s design. They said that they had wanted to memorize Caroline, but the reporters twisted the story, saying it was a co–creation when it was really just a tribute.
The Diaz Group blamed the reporters for everything.
They had an outstanding PR team.
Under the Diaz Group’s threat, no reporter dared to stand out and tell the truth even though they were slandered.
The Diaz Group leveraged its power.
It was that man’s style.
But soon, a new trending topic showed up and went viral on the internet.
Julissa checked it and jumped up from her deck chair.
She thought, “Zayne! You used me again!”
The title of the trending topic on Twitter was clear enough.
“The goddess of ‘Eternity‘ comes back.”
The photos of the report were Julissa designing jewelry in the Fowler’s old residence.
Julissa finally figured out why Zayne always snuck in to take photos.

Almost every photo was taken from the same angles as those when she was secretly photographed wearing “Eternity” back then.
Those photos captured Julissa’s side face and lowered eyes. Her stray hair clung to her angular chin. Her fair and ten- der skin was like porcelain. She was in a yard with bamboo chairs around, making her look natural and otherworldly at the same time.
The report went viral. The public didn’t care about the Diaz Group’s attempt at clearing its name anymore.
Julissa was angry at being used by Zayne again. But thinking of Reece’s dark face, she felt great.
As Julissa had expected, Reece’s face was so dark.
In those photos, Julissa looked fresh and happy. Reece had never seen her like that when they were together.
He thought, “Is she so happy with Zayne?”
His eyes grew cold.

Chapter 13 Get Her Back
“Get Julissa back!”
Their divorce procedure hadn’t finished, yet Julissa kept pushing Reece’s limits again and again.
Standing beside Reece, James hesitated. He had to say something although he was scared.
“Mr. Diaz, we… can’t.”
Reece raised his cold eyes.
“What do you mean?”
“Well…” James was nervous. “Ms. Rivera lives in the Fowler’s old residence now. We can’t get in…”

The Fowler family and the Diaz family had established rules in the previous generation. Neither of them could tres- pass on the other’s mines or old residences.
James wondered why Zayne was so obsessed with Julissa and protected her so much.
Julissa hadn’t expected Reece to call her.
During their three years of marriage, Reece barely talked to her and always asked the nanny to inform her everything that she needed to know about.
Julissa used to look forward to Reece’s calls.
She remembered every digit of his phone number, but he had never called…
Julissa refused the call.
Then, she blocked Reece’s number.
She knew Reece had a bad temper. Now that he was angry, he would only scold her on the phone.
Why would Julissa put up with that?
After a few minutes, a WhatsApp message popped up.
It was a friend request.
An automatic profile… A random WhatsApp name…
Julissa believed it was Reece.
He just joined WhatsApp.
Julissa thought, “What’s wrong with him?”
She wanted to ignore him but received a new friend request with a sentence.
“Accept the request, or you will regret it.”
Julissa walked to the deck chair and lay down lazily. After a while, she finally replied with satire, “Regret how?”

Chapter 13 Get Her Back
She got no reply after that. In the end, she stopped waiting and started humming.
Indeed, Reece had great power.
But in Archdale, he couldn’t enter the Fowler’s old residence.

In the jade business, everything could be casual. Stones worth millions were tossed around, and jewelry worth tens of millions just sat in the warehouse.
But no one could break the rules.
When Julissa was about to fall asleep, her phone rang.
Reece replied with a few words.
“I will fire Clara.”
Julissa was stunned.
The next second, she burst out into laughter.
Reece knew that Julissa and Clara supported each other in life and became very close during Julissa’s three years in Harmony Villa, so he used Clara to threaten Julissa…
It was a good idea.
But…
It was naive.
However, it could prove that Reece was really anxious and had no other ways.
But Julissa was confused because the Diaz Group shouldn’t be bothered by the Fowler family’s petty tricks. The Diaz Group was rich and powerful, earning endless money through developing mines. Although Cristina was a stupid teammate, Reece still had enough power to let her mess around as she pleased.
Out of curiosity, Julissa accepted Reece’s friend request.
Then, Reece video–called her right away.
Julissa refused it.
She said that her camera was broken.
So, Reece voice–called her.
She said that her microphone was broken.
Over the past ten years, Reece rarely typed on his phone. But today, he had to type word by word.
“Didn’t I tell you to stay away from Zayne?”

Julissa sent a confused emoji.
“None of your business.”

Reece was slow in typing. Usually, with his status, he only needed to give verbal orders, and his people would take care of everything.
But today…
Seeing that Reece was still typing after a long time, Julissa couldn’t help but laugh.
She thought, “Reece, look at you now!”
“Leave the Fowler’s old residence. Now!”
Julissa replied immediately, “No!”

Then, she replied again, “If you fire Clara, I will hire her to work for me.”
It seemed Reece had figured out how to send voice messages.
“Julissa, I finally know why you didn’t hesitate to divorce me and even agreed to leave empty–handed.
“Zayne promised to give you more money, right?
“You love money, don’t you? If you come back and beg me, I will give you ten times more.”
Reece’s words ruined Julissa’s good mood.
In the end, Reece still saw her as a snobbish ex–wife..
Julissa wished that she had never let Reece talk today. She should have known that his words would only piss her off.
In the end, Julissa didn’t reply because she had nothing to say.
She blocked his number.
After a while, Julissa calmed down but still felt sad.
She had loved Reece wholeheartedly for so many years. After crying for him and getting drunk for him so many times, Julissa thought she could finally move on, but she was wrong.
Julissa took a deep breath and called Zayne.
“Come here with your best photography equipment.”
She couldn’t change how Reece saw her. Then, she would show Reece what she got.
