Chapter 181 Let Go
It was early in the morning.
Shayla led Katelyn to a hospital.
Edwin’s sperm was in cryopreservation. Katelyn started her fertility shots after various examinations.
Katelyn would have artificial insemination after the ovulation happened.
“Mom, do we have to do so?” Katelyn became hesitant.
Shayla sneered. “Silly girl, where can we retreat now?
“We have no choice but to move on. Don’t look back.”
As for Julianna, she prepared for the coming lawsuit.
She received a court summons right after she hired a lawyer, Jason.
The lawyer hired by the Keaton family started the final negotiation with Julianna.
A ringtone sounded.
Julianna’s phone rang.
“Hello,” Julianna answered the call.
“Hello, Ms. Reece. I am Tim Hacker.
“Mrs. Keaton entrusted me to have a final negotiation with you regarding the custody of the children.”
Hearing this, Julianna took a deep breath and said, “Go on, please.”
Tim paused and then said in a low voice, “Mrs. Keaton wants you to give up the custody of the children. She will give you 30 million dollars as compensation.
“Well, your daughter will stay with you. The Keaton family just wants custody of the two boys. It is a fair deal.”
“Heh.” Julianna sneered.
“Please tell Mrs. Keaton that I will not give up custody of my children no matter what happens.”
“Ms. Reece, I advise you to think twice before going against the Keaton family because the consequen ce will be terrible. Possibly, you will get nothing in the end. I think it is a wise choice to accept compens ation from the Keaton family.”
Julianna sneered. “The Keaton family is powerful, but can they throw weight around?
“I won’t take the money. Tell Mrs. Keaton that I will meet her in court.”
“Okay, we will meet you in court if you insist.” From NôvelDrama.Org.
Soon, Julianna’s lawyer sent the Keaton family a lawyer’s letter.
Then, Jason called Tim.
“Hello, I am Jason Lord.”
“Hello.”
“I’m a lawyer on behalf of Ms. Reece.”
“You detained Ms. Reece’s children. It is illegal imprisonment. If you want a fight in a legal court, we will be there for you.
“We will do whatever to protect our rights and interests. The Keaton family will have to pay the price an d support the
children…”
The two lawyers began their argument.
Neither of them yielded, so the judicial process would take over.
Both parties took their cases against each other to court.
The Keaton family got support from a group of international lawyers, and Julianna hired the best legal t eam from Philadelphia
for her case.
Edwin felt helpless in this dilemma.
He didn’t want to fall out with Julianna. Edwin thought, Our relationship just improved a little. Now, it det eriorates because of
the custody of our children.
Grandma is stubborn, and so is Julianna.
I can’t persuade Grandma to give up the custody of the children.
Julianna will be unhappy if Grandma forcefully takes away the custody of the children.
Edwin had a headache.
However, he could do nothing. Therefore, the problem of custody became a court case,
The court would hear the case next month.
Coincidentally, the new year would come next month. This case annoyed both parties who had fallen o ut with each other.
This was the Reece Group.
Julianna continued to work though the lawsuit distressed her.
Julianna was reading documents in her office.
Bang! Bang! Coco knocked on the door and then walked into the office.
Coco nervously said, “Ms. Reece, Mr. Keaton is here…”
Before Coco finished her speech, Edwin had barged in with a long face.
“Mr. Keaton…”
“All of you, get out.”
Worried, Coco and her two colleagues left the office without delay.
Julianna became nervous. She subconsciously stood up from her chair.
“Edwin, what are you doing in my office?”
Edwin looked sinister. He walked close to Julianna, raised his eyebrows, and said sullenly, “Julianna, d o you have to do so?”
“Edwin, your family is too aggressive.
“You once promised me that you wouldn’t fight against me for the custody of my children. However, you went back on your
word, so I have no choice.”
Edwin took a deep breath and tried his best to be patient. “Grandma is old. Can’t you think for her?”
Julianna glared at Edwin. “Edwin, I am a mother. Why can’t you sympathize with me?”
Hearing this, Edwin lost his cool. “I am the father of these children. They are not yours.”
“As I said, I will send the children to you whenever you want to see them.
“However, you detained my children. That is terrible.” Julianna was so angry that her eyes turned red.
“Julianna, can we talk things over?” Edwin suppressed his anger and looked at Julianna with indignanc e.
Edwin wanted to remarry Julianna.
However, Edwin was so proud that he didn’t know how to bring up this topic. He thought, She is a foolish woman and knows nothing about my feelings.
She just thinks that I will take the children away from her.
Julianna frowned and stared at Edwin coldly. “Yes, we can as long as you send my children back first.”
Hearing this, Edwin finally lost control of himself. He took a step forward, grabbed Julianna by the arms , and shook her a few times. “Your children! Your children! I will tell you the last time.
“The children aren’t yours. Without me, they wouldn’t be in this world.”
Because of the violent shakes, Julianna felt that her bones were about to fall apart. Julianna struggled and said, “Let go.”
“Julianna, don’t challenge my bottom line again.” Edwin narrowed his eyes, and a fierce look flashed pa st his face.
“Let go of me. Don’t touch me.” Julianna panicked. She just wanted to get rid of Edwin now.
“Julianna, you made me angry.” Looking at the struggling Julianna, Edwin felt hot in his lower abdomen as if he was possessed by a ferocious beast.
Speaking, Edwin wrapped his arms around Julianna, trapped her in his embrace, lowered his head, an d then kissed her.
“No… You jerk…” Julianna was in a panic when Edwin lifted her up.
Edwin fiercely pinned Julianna on the desk.
“Edwin, don’t touch me, ah… Let go…”
“Julianna, am I too soft to you recently?
“I will punish you today.”
“Ah!”
Julianna struggled with fear like a fish on the shore.
Unfortunately, her resistance was futile before Edwin.
In desperation, Julianna groped a pen container on her desk.
She grabbed the pen container and hit Edwin on the head with it.
Bang!
Edwin calmed down a little because of this violent attack.
While Edwin was in a daze, Julianna broke free from him.
“Edwin, don’t touch me again, or I will teach you a lesson.”
Julianna looked angry and flustered, and her hair and clothes were messy.
Edwin rubbed his head and said through his gritted teeth, “Julianna, you don’t know what’s good for you.”
Speaking, Edwin rushed over.
“Ah!”
Julianna ran around her desk to dodge Edwin like a frightened bird.
Then, she ran towards the door as if to run for her life.
Bang!
The door was flung open.
Julianna ignored the subtle gazes of her workers and ran out of the office in a panic.
Julianna thought, I have to leave this place now.
Otherwise, Edwin will humiliate me again.
I swore that I wouldn’t let him touch me again.
Edwin ran after Julianna.
Julianna fled, and Edwin chased after her. Neither of them cared about what the others thought.
Julianna ran into the elevator and hurried downstairs.
Edwin was a bit late, so he missed the elevator. Without hesitation, he took the stairs to chase Julianna.
“Oh my, what are Ms. Reece and Mr. Keaton doing?”
“I don’t know. Tsk, tsk, tsk. There are good shows in the company every few days.”
“Mr. Keaton must have taken liberties with Ms. Reece again.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Focus on your work.”
This was the lobby.
Edwin arrived at the lobby at the same time as Julianna did. He must have run like hell.
“Julianna, stop right there.”
“Edwin, don’t come over.”
The elevator was close to the door, so Julianna ran out of the elevator and then out of the company.
This was a bustling street.
People came and went, and there were a lot of cars.
Julianna, who thought of nothing but to get rid of Edwin, tried to flee.
In a panic, she wanted to cross the road to the downtown area not far away.
I can get rid of him as long as I am in the downtown area. Julianna thought.
Julianna arrived in the middle of the road..
Right then, a car dashed toward Julianna at a high speed. Moreover, this car ran on the wrong side of the road, so the driver was probably drunk.
“Ah!” Julianna screamed. It was too late for her to dodge the car now.
“Julianna, be careful.” Edwin stopped, grabbed Julianna by the arm, and fiercely pulled her backward.
The car whizzed past.
A terrible car accident didn’t happen, but the car still brushed past Julianna.
“Ah.” Julianna fell to the ground and rolled on the floor..
The car drove away without stopping.
“How did you drive?” Edwin was so scared that his face turned pale. He rushed to Julianna.
The cars behind Edwin had to stop for this incident, and the drivers stuck their heads out of the car wind
Julianna got scratches on both her arms and knees from the fall. Lying on the ground, she could not get up
alone.
“Uh!”
“How do you feel?” Edwin lifted Julianna up and checked her wounds.
After a painful groan, Julianna struggled to stand up.
However, she weakly fell again before getting on her feet.
Few people drove like that..
Therefore, that driver did try to crash Julianna.
Fortunately, Edwin pulled Julianna backward in time. Otherwise, Julianna would have been knocked dow
