“Julissa, you really disgust me.”
Reece has said all the harsh words before, and now there is nothing unacceptable.
Julissa’s face was calm, but the cold smile at the corner of her lips carried a bitter undertone.
“Wasn’t I always like this in your eyes?”
Reece’s eyes were once as deep as the sea, a sight that Julissa often found herself unable to sleep at night, consumed by longing.
But now, when he looked at her, there was only disgust.
She had nothing to be sad about anymore.
Julissa calmly and casually said, “Also, I am very grateful that I did not get pregnant.”
Reece’s dark eyes slightly darkened, his tall figure looming in front of her, the light blocked out most of it, and the sound of his breathing stopped near her ear.
“What do you mean?”
“If I really were pregnant, that would be the beginning of endless torment,” Julissa raised her head slightly, determination shining in her beautiful eyes. “Who do you think you are? If I were pregnant, I would have to watch you and Cristina being all lovey–dovey! And when the child is born, would they have to call Cristina ‘mom“?”

Reece frowned, a moment of confusion flashing in his eyes.
“How could you think like that?”
Julissa sneered.
“Isn’t this what the Diaz family is best at? All irrelevant people, in your eyes, are just tools, without personality, without self, and not even worthy of their own opinions!”
In the dim light of the corridor, Julissa’s delicate face reflected a hint of paleness, her eyelids filled with tears, but stubbornly refusing to fall.
The chill in Reece’s eyes dissipated, revealing a hint of emotion.
But when he spoke, he was still as cold as ever.
“You shouldn’t have written that story.”
Ultimately, it was her “dribbling” and using the child to seek attention that was wrong in the first place.
Now all this outcome is her own fault.
At this point, Julissa let out a deep sigh.
No matter what you say to him, it’s like “playing the lute to a cow.”
“Now that everything is settled, can I leave?”
This time, Julissa no longer wanted to have any dealings with Reece!
“No.”
Those two words fell heavily on Julissa’s heart like a soul–sucking demon.
“Why?!”

“Grandpa prepared a family feast tomorrow night to celebrate your pregnancy.”
Reece coldly said, “You explain it yourself.”
Julissa felt like she was being driven crazy by Reece.
“Our divorce agreement was already in the final process, the Diaz family’s banquet has nothing to do with me, you explain the children’s matters to Grandpa yourself.”
Reece spoke with an unquestionable, firm attitude.
“You made your own mess, now deal with it.” “You made your own n
Harmony Villa.
The place that Julissa thought she would never come back to, she returned to once again.
Reece didn’t allow her to go back to her own home, saying “she was not trustworthy.”
Once the family banquet was over, a decision would be made.
In Harmony Villa, Reece was working in the study while Julissa was resting in the bedroom next door.
The irritable mood was like an elusive thread, lingering in Reece’s mind, unable to shake off
That woman, full of lies, really makes people sick of her!
The door of the study was suddenly knocked on, and Reece thought it was Julissa.
She came over now, probably wanting to explain the child’s situation.

Thinking of this, Reece furrowed his brows tightly, and then relaxed slightly imperceptibly.
“Come in.”
Reece put away the files on the table and looked up, only to see James.
“It’s so late, what are you doing here?” Irritated emotions resurfaced, and Reece impatiently reopened the file in his hand.
“Mr. Diaz…” James cautiously asked, “How did it go at the hospital today with you and Ms. Rivera?”
“What else can we do?” Reece’s tone was full of disdain. “That woman just keeps spouting nonsense!”
James’s body trembled.
“What are you going to do now?”
“Tomorrow is a family banquet, bring it back for Grandpa to handle.”
The Diaz family had the strictest rules, and for Julissa to deceive others using the Diaz family bloodline this time was a major taboo. She would definitely face consequences when she returned home.
No matter how much Grandpa doted on Julissa, he could not tolerate the Diaz family’s authority being challenged.
As soon as it was handed over to the old man, James‘ heart sank.
the Diaz family rules he had seen…
“Mr. Diaz, will this…?” James’s face had already started turning pale. “Too cruel?”
Reece had no mercy in his heart: “She should have thought about the

consequences when she did this!”
With that, Recce coldly threw the file in his hand onto the table, the loud noise causing James to shudder violently.
