Making Millions With The Eyes Of God

Making 229

The sharp reprimand from the woman caught the immediate attention of everyone in the living room – Victor, Travis, James, and the rest. They all quickly turned their gaze towards the entrance..

To their astonishment, Gilmore and Juline, graceful as swallows, lightly landed at the doorway.

Their entrance not only left those in the living room dumbfounded but also stunned the hundred martialists from Blade Gate who were outside.

Initially, seeing the two descending from the sky, the martialists thought they were being invaded by enemies.

They were poised to rush in, but upon recognizing Gilmore and especially Juline, they halted in their tracks.

The shock was palpable.

Hadn’t James rushed to Blade Gate last night and reported that Juline had been killed by and had fallen into an

abyss?

How was it that she appeared now, completely unharmed?

Similarly, inside the living room, when Victor first saw his daughter, he thought he was hallucinating.

But a closer look confirmed that Juline was indeed standing there, real and alive.

His face lit up with relief and joy. He quickly stood up and exclaimed. Juline, you’re okay?”

Juline nodded at her father, “Dad, I’m fine.”

Her expression then turned cold as she continued, “But it seems some people wish I was dead, so their sinister plans could succeed.”

Both Travis and James, in the living room, instantly caught the implication in Juline’s words.

The father and son exchanged a glance, both equally perplexed and shocked. How could Juline have possibly survived? Especially since, at the base of that abyss, a pack of vicious wolves lurked. If Juline was alive, she would surely reveal that Karl had stabbed her.

The revelation would surely expose the lies spun by the Wyatt family and their attempt to frame the Field family.

Travis and James were deeply unsettled.

Victor’s eyebrows furrowed as he looked at his daughter, Juline, what do you mean by that?

“Who wishes you were dead? I swear, they won’t escape my wrath

Juline responded, “Dad, did someone tell you that the Field family sent Gilmore to kidnap me to force the Wyatt family to drop the CBD project bid?”

“Yes, James told me all about it. I won’t spare the Field family. I seek vengeance for you.”

“No, Dad. The Field family didn’t send Gilmore to kidnap me. Instead, it was the Wyatt family who sent Karl to take Gilmore, aiming to get the Field family to give up the CBD project bid, Juline quickly corrected.

“And, did someone also tell you that Karl died trying to save me from Gilmore, and that, left with no options, Gilmore dragged me down with him, jumping off a cliff?” she continued.

A glimmer of realization dawned on Victor’s face.

He cast a glance at James, sensing the man’s unease.

“So it wasn’t like that?” Victor queried.

“No. Karl tried to kill Gilmore but instead stabbed me in my left arm, Juline revealed. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

A sharp look flashed in Victor’s eyes.

Karl had injured his daughter, and James hadn’t mentioned a word?

Moreover, the stories told by James and Juline contradicted each other.

It was clear to Victor who to believe.

He trusted his daughter.

She would have no reason to falsely accuse the Wyatt family.

Victor then said, “Juline, James mentioned you were dragged into an abyss by Gilmore, suggesting you met a grim fate amidst a pack of wolves. How come you’re here, safe and soundi

This was precisely what James and Travis in the living room wanted to know.

If they had been aware that Juline was alive, they wouldn’t have concocted the false tale to deceive Victor.

Juline’s gaze shifted tenderly to Gilmore standing beside her.

“It was Gilmore who saved me, she revealed to her father.

Victor’s skeptical eyes landed on Gilmore. “Is this Gilmore?” he asked Juline.

“Leader, this is indeed Gilmore, the boyfriend of Helene from the Field family,” a voice interjected as a man entered through the main door.

Gilmore looked over and saw that it was Benny

Spotting Gilmore, James, Travis, and a few presbyters all wore astonished expressions.

They hadn’t expected Gilmore, of all people, to boldly show up at the Wyatt family.

It felt like he was willingly walking into a trap.

Even Victor looked surprised, more so by the unusual softness in his typically icy daughter’s eyes when she looked at

Gilmore.

He understood what that implied

At that moment, Benny, with a face seething with rage, sneered at Gilmore, “Well, well, Gilmore. How audacious of you to come to the Wyatt family after killing Karl! Do you think our family is powerless?

Furthermore, despite having a girlfriend like Helene from the Field family, you’ve cunningly deceived Miss Gellar with your sweet words

“You treacherous, sly, and despicable man, today, the Wyatt family will ensure you face dire consequences!”

Travis hadn’t anticipated Benny’s sudden appearance, but it provided the Wyatt family an opportunity to defuse the awkward tension.

Immediately, Travis shouted, “Where are the martialists of Blade Gate?”

At Travis’s command, over a dozen martialists from Blade Gate swiftly entered.

“Senior presbyter, your orders?” they thundered in unison, ready to take action

“Arrest this murderer who took the life of my grandson, Karl! And if he resists, kill him on the spot!” Travis, pointing at Gilmore, ordered menacingly.

“Nobody lays a hand on Gilmore!” Juline, at that very moment, positioned herself protectively in front of Gilmore, her gaze piercing as she addressed the Blade Gate martialists.

She then turned to her father, Victor, asserting, “Dad, the Wyatt family is twisting the truth! Karl almost took my life!

“Now they’re trying to silence us to cover up their lies. Are you just going to stand by and watch?

“Is the Blade Gate under the command of the senior presbyter now, and not yours?”

Travis, hearing her words, promptly bowed towards Victor and stated, “Leader, I’ve always been loyal to you, and I’d never dare to overstep my boundaries.”

Victor replied coolly to Travis, “Travis, my daughter might have spoken hastily. Please don’t take it to heart.”

To Juline’s surprise, her father was defending Travis.

She looked aggrieved and said, “Dad, I’m telling the truth. Why won’t you listen to me?”

“Though James deceived me to escape punishment, it’s an internal matter of the Blade Gate, and I’ll handle it,” Victor declared.

His gaze then shifted to Gilmore. “But he’s different; he’s an outsider.

“Moreover, he killed one of our top apprentices, making him our enemy.

“And despite having a girlfriend, he’s involved with you. It’s clear he’s just toying with your feelings and using you.

“Hence, I agree with the senior presbyter. Gilmore must die!”

Juline, shocked by her father’s stance, immediately responded, “Dad, Gilmore isn’t playing with my feelings or using me.”

“Knowing he killed Karl, yet you still defend him. Knowing he has a girlfriend, yet you’re still with him. If he’s not toying with and using you, then what is he doing?”

Victor retorted in anger.

Even though Juline knew that Gilmore wasn’t as her father portrayed, she felt overwhelmed and at a loss for words

She realized that no matter what she said, her father would always view Gilmore as Karl’s murderer and as someone who was manipulating her.

Giving up on defending her stance, Juline said, “Dad, no matter what you say today, I stand by Gilmore.

“I won’t let anyone harm him. I’m willing to live and die with him!”
