Gernard's expression grew more serious.

"Juliet, I can agree to anything else, but not this. You are the heiress of the Skyler family; you must not do something that would destroy someone else's marriage."

"What do you mean by destroying someone's marriage?" Juliet pouted. "I've already looked into it; they're getting a divorce. Besides, didn't you also hire a lawyer to help? You've done so much already, so why won't you help me with this?"

Gernard was surprised at how much she knew, his brows furrowing. "Juliet, why not like someone else? Why must it be him? Since you've investigated him, you should know he isn't someone you can trust."

He tried to reason with her, "Aveline once saved his life, yet he wants to divorce her and has caused her so much pain. If that's how he treats his savior, do you think he'll treat you any better?"

Juliet dismissed his reasoning, saying, "He dares to treat his wife that way because she has nothing. He wouldn't dare do the same to me; I have the entire Cooper family behind me. If he ever tries to hurt me, he'll have to think twice about whether he can afford to provoke us."

Gernard's frown deepened. "Juliet, are you determined to be stubborn about this?"

Juliet released his arm abruptly, "I like him, and I'm going to be with him, whether you help me or not! If you won't, I'll find a way myself!"
