Once a Doormat, Now Untouchable

Chapter 598

Surprise flickered through Julian's eyes. Outsiders rarely gained access to the family hall. Given the urgency, he did not hesitate and headed there at once.

After the housekeeper explained the situation, he hurriedly said, "I'll go call Mr. Hampton right away."

"No need.”

Before the words could fully register, Julian stepped straight into the hall.

George reacted too late to stop him. Fortunately, the housekeeper spoke up in time. “The old madam allowed Mr. Sterling to enter."

George froze, cold sweat spreading across his palms. No sound came from inside for the moment, yet his heart pounded wildly.
