Love the Second Time Around

Chapter 20

 

Chapter 20 Scam

Julius turned around in horror when I called out to him. But when he realized nobody was backing him up, he snarled at me. “What the f*ck were you shouting for, Liliana? And why’d you come back? Think you’re a bigshot now?”

I quickly shoved him away and stood before my father, extending my arms to defend him. “I told you I’m not selling the copyright, and you can give up on the money. If you harass us anymore, I’ll call the cops on you.”

“Do it then. I’m suing you guys for fraud anyway. Can’t believe a slut like you are the daughter of two professors. What a joke. Oh, and your brother is still working on his degree, isn’t he? Say, what if I tell his classmates his sister is nothing but a common whore? I wonder what would happen to him?”

It was then I realized Julius was nothing but a scumbag who would do anything to get his hands on my copyright. My father’s face was red with fury, which was bad. He had hypertension, so he mustn’t get agitated, but this b*stard came and ruined that.

Thus, I calmed my father down first and took a deep breath to hold my anger down. “Julius, you’re not short of money,” I said coolly. “You’re the sales director, so why do you care about the money anyway?”

 

Julius looked surprised that I was shooting him that question, but he composed himself and shot back at me angrily, “Just so you forget, you almost made me blind, so that money goes to my medical fees. Besides, you took fifteen thousand from my family as a betrothal gift, and I had to pay for your expenses after we’re married. Of course, I’m entitled to your money.”

I knew he was scum, but this must be a new low. First of all, I didn’t even spend a single cent of his money after we were married. He ignored me most of the time after our marriage, and I made my own money from my work. In other words, he lied, and now he was acting like an entitled Karen.

 

To be frank, I was infuriated by his demands, but at the same time, I was amused. “Honestly, I’d rather be a nun than your wife if I had known your true colors sooner.”

Julius looked at me closely, his gaze filled with nothing but murder and greed. The sight of him made me sick, but I held it down.
