Chapter 253: His Own Daughter
In Bayford City, at Harper Mansion.
Julia was sitting in the drawing room, watching the news on TV. The screen was displaying scenes from the perfume event and what had happened with Natalie.
James was also in the room, speaking with his assistant about something along with giving some important instructions.
"She’s just like Caryn," Julia remarked, unable to hide her admiration. "The way she handled the situation—it’s exactly like her mother. If Caryn were alive, she would have been proud of her daughter."
James was well aware of what his mother was watching. Despite his repeated warnings to her not to pay attention to anything related to Caryn, Julia never listened.
Once the assistant left, James turned his gaze to his mother, then to the TV screen, where Natalie was confidently mocking Faye with her bold words.
"Not just in looks, but even the way she talks—exactly like Caryn, isn’t it?" Julia said as she noticed James watching the screen as well. "Just like her mother, she’s always prepared to anticipate her enemy’s moves and shows no mercy."
James always intentionally ignored paying attention to any news related to Ford family and especially ignored this daughter of Caryn. He could not deny that resemblance she had with Caryn, not just looks even the way she carried herself. One gaze was enough for him to know it as Caryn’s existence could never erase from his mind, despite his efforts.
James averted his gaze from the screen and returned his focus to the file in his hands. "Mother, even if you insist on watching it despite my warnings, you should do it quietly. Others aren’t interested in hearing endless praises for unrelated people."
Julia frowned. "She is related to me, and I have every right to praise her."
James looked at his mother, his expression unreadable at her words.
