However, Julianne needed money right now.

Previously, I had demanded that she return everything Irvin had given her. Irvin had promised that once she returned those things, he would give her something else, something even more than what she had given back.
But up until now, he still hadn’t given her anything.
How was she supposed to survive without money? How?
Julianne had always been used to a luxurious life, so even a single day without money felt unbearable to her.
She explained, “Irvin, I really wasn’t trying to slander Mille. I’m just worried about you two. I know you gave her everything because you feel guilty. But… have you ever thought about how dangerous it is for a woman to have such a huge sum of money?
“It’s like a kid walking on the street holding gold. It’ll only attract trouble for her.”
Irvin couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity of her words. She really just claimed to be worried about me?
“Lianne, do you really take me for a fool?” he asked.
Did she really think he would still believe that she had my best interests at heart?
Julianne, who still wanted to say something else, suddenly froze. She quickly returned to her senses and said, ” Irvin, I—”
Before she could say more, Irvin stared straight at her and said, “Lianne, if you want to live a peaceful life, don’t do anything else. You don’t need to worry about anything. As long as I have food to eat, you’ll have food to eat too.”
Although she had done many terrible things, he had once promised to take care of her for the rest of her life, and he would keep that promise.
Julianne stared at Irvin. She believed him when he said he would take care of her. However, that wasn’t what she wanted.
She had worked so hard, schemed so much, and even suffered humiliation at the hands of those people. She couldn’t accept ending up with nothing.
“Irvin, I know the only thing you want to do now is to protect Millie for the rest of her life. But have you thought about this? How are you going to protect her if you lose everything?”
Julianne believed that no matter how foolish he was, he shouldn’t just let himself end up with nothing.
“You don’t need to worry about that. Just take care of yourself and stop doing anything stupid.“Irvin said, signaling to his secretary to escort Julianne out.
Just as Julianne was about to say something, a group of police officers knocked on the door and entered. At the sight of the police, Irvin frowned. Meanwhile, Julianne panicked and instinctively hid behind him. Her reaction made Irvin’s frown deepen. He was about to turn to her, silently questioning whether she had done something again. However, the lead officer, Lance, signaled to the female officer behind him to hold Julianne captive.
“Julianne Sinclair, you are suspected of being involved in a kidnapping case. Please come with us,” the female

officer said.
Although there was no evidence proving that Julianne was behind the kidnapping because Travis was dead , I never stopped investigating the case where I was kidnapped and fell off the cliff. And I finally found strong evidence.
Strong enough to send Julianne to prison.
Seeing how the female officer walked toward her, Julianne panicked and grabbed Irvin’s arm tightly. “Irvin, save me!”
Even though he had seen many of her wrongdoings, his instinct was still to protect her. “Chief Crawford, what does she have to do with the kidnapping case? Is there a misunderstanding?”
When Lance said that Julianne was the mastermind behind my kidnapping, Irvin instinctively blurted, “No way ! ”
