Chapter 27: Naive Girl
Julia feels offended hearing Adam’s words, but she can’t retort, as what Adam says is true.
Julia doesn’t need to put up an act before Adam because she knows Adam sees right through the act that she puts on before Jack.
She married Jack because of his money, and whether Jack knew about it or not was none of her concern because the marriage was already done. She is in and part of this house now.
But Julia continues to put on her loving wife act as she doesn’t want to end up divorced, as she believes she has the right to everything Jack owns, and getting divorced is not something she is looking forward to.
Her biggest obstacle in getting everything that Jack owns under her name is Adam, as Jack’s son. He is the rightful heir.
Julia knows it’s going to be hard to convince Jack to put everything he has under her name. For that, she needs Adam to make a mistake, a mistake huge enough that would convince Jack that Adam is not ready to take on the family business.
Julia knows she needs to keep her mouth shut and not aggravate things with Adam because everything can go very south. She is playing the long game.
It doesn’t matter if she has suppressed sexual fantasies about her stepson because, at the end of the day, she is a gold digger, and the only thing that matters is money.
"What, no comebacks?" Adam tries to instigate, but Julia keeps her lips sealed and just scoffs at Adam.
Seeing that Julia has no intention of escalating the situation makes Adam smirks. He expected this much from Julia, as she is one cunning bitch. She knows her place in this family is still not comparable to his.
And now that he knows what’s going to happen in the future, he is going to make sure that Julia’s position remains the same in the family while he also turns her into his slut.
