Chapter 140 Unwilling to divorce
As the waiter saw Julian’s face darken, she was startled. “Mr. Graham… Is there something wrong?”
She was just conveying Mr. Lance’s message, why would this S-class member of Glory Group’s be so angry?
S-class customers were extremely wealthy and influential, and she couldn’t afford to offend such a
high-profile client.
Initially, she didn’t dare to come and deliver the message, but Mr. Lance gave her a generous tip, and she
couldn’t resist conveying his words.
This was the Sunny Restaurant, where he often came for business discussions. If any unfavorable news
spread here, it would damage the reputation of the Graham family.
Julian suppressed his anger and regained his composure, saying, “It’s nothing, just don’t forget what I told
you earlier. Every time Miss. Spears comes to the Sunny Restaurant, charge it to my account.”
“Okay, okay, don’t worry, I won’t forget,” the waiter nodded repeatedly.
After saying those words, Julian walked out of the private room without looking back.
As soon as Niki saw Julian lift his leg and leave, she hurriedly followed, “Brother Julian… Wait for Niki!”
She was wearing high heels today, with tall heels that made walking very inconvenient. After a few steps of
running, her ankles were already sore.
She stumbled down the stairs, the high heels making a sound against the wooden steps.
Because it’s a place where wealthy people conduct business and have dinner dates, the Sunny Restaurant usually plays very elegant and quiet music. The serene atmosphere, coupled with the smooth and melodious piano tunes, creates the perfect ambiance.
Clearly, Niki’s hurried footsteps disrupted this refined atmosphere. The guests downstairs turned their heads towards her, casting curious glances.
Feeling embarrassed under the scrutiny of so many unfamiliar eyes, Niki suddenly stopped in her tracks, no longer hurrying forward.
However, Julian was walking quickly, and with just a brief pause of two steps, Niki found herself several meters away from him. With no other choice, she gritted her teeth and continued moving forward despite her trepidation.
“Niki…?” Suddenly, a female voice echoed.
Niki kept her head down, wanting to quickly leave the place. The moment she heard the voice, she startled.
“Sister Niki!” Another female voice followed suit.
Niki couldn’t help but raise her head and look towards the direction of the voices. It was two ladies-one wearing a pink dress with loose hair cascading over her shoulders, adorned with fluffy bubble sleeves, appearing adorable.
The other lady had a completely different style, wearing a black tank top and a black leather skirt, paired with
wavy, voluminous hair, exuding sensuality.
It was evident they were the two individuals she tried to win over during the previous banquet. One was Zoey,
and the person standing beside her must be Clara, right?
“Sister Niki, are you here to dine as well?” Zoey exclaimed with enthusiasm.
“Ah… yes,” Niki responded, although these two were the people she tried to get close to within the society Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
circle, and she had invested considerable effort into it.
However, it wasn’t the time for pleasantries now.
“What a coincidence! We’re here to have a meal too,” Zoey continued, completely oblivious to Niki’s
discomfort, as she spoke for herself.
“Oh, what a coincidence,” Niki said, her gaze glancing towards the direction Julian had gone. If she lingered
here any longer, he would be far away.
“But Sister Niki, are you dining alone? Did President Graham not come?” Zoey looked around, not seeing
anyone nearby.
Clara chimed in, “Wait, didn’t I see Mr. Graham just now when I entered? It seemed like he was leaving?”
“Really?” Zoey Immediately looked out upon hearing that, and indeed, at the entrance of the Sunny Restaurant, there was a man in a suit opening the door and walking outside.
Judging from his figure and demeanor, it was indeed Julian.
However, Zoey could recognize Julian at a glance, not because she was familiar with him, but because Julian’s posture was too striking, and his overall demeanor was very distinctive, exuding a sense of distance
unique to an untouchable prodigy.
Therefore, almost everyone in the prestigious circle of Los Angeles could recognize Julian at a glance.
“Niki sister, why aren’t you walking with President Graham? Did you have a fight?” Zoey’s tone was concerned.
“Ah… We didn’t have a fight,” Niki replied absentmindedly, clearly lost in thought and not focused on the
conversation.
The driver had long parked the car by the roadside, and Julian was now just a few steps away from the
vehicle.
Feeling anxious, Niki hurriedly uttered those words and walked away, leaving Zoey and Clara standing in place. Zoey only managed to say half of what was on her mind before she saw Niki’s hurried steps and
decided to withhold her words.
“Don’t you have any observational skills?” Clara squinted his eyes, watching Niki’s retreating figure and spoke
1.
Zoey blinked, sounding puzzled, “How did I lack observational skills?”
“When Julian just passed by, I clearly saw that he had a cold expression on his face, and there was an icy aura emanating from him. It was obvious he was angry,” Clara’s tone was teasing.
“He’s angry? Did they have a fight?” Zoey finally caught on “But Niki sister told me that President Graham dotes on her, never fights with her, and personally apologizes for any mistakes. I was so envious when I heard
that.”
Clara rolled his eyes directly. “You believe everything she says? You’re not just pretending to be naive, you are
genuinely naive!”
After saying that, Clara stomped upstairs in her high heels, leaving Zoey trailing behind, muttering to herself,
‘Did Niki sister deceive me…?”
Niki rushed and pushed open the door, panting heavily as she chased after the Sunny Restaurant at the
entrance.
But it was too late. When she reached the road, she only saw the taillights of the car disappearing into the
night.
“Damn it!” Niki angrily threw her handbag to the ground, causing the contents to scatter all over. Among
them, something emitting a blue light rolled into the grass.
Her gaze tightened instantly-it was her blue diamond! It was worth millions, and she had worked so hard to
acquire it!
Niki quickly turned on the flashlight on her phone and crouched down, carefully searching the ground. But after searching for a while, she couldn’t find it.
Already irritated, she became even more agitated. “Damn it! It’s all that shameless woman,
atalie’s fault!”
Natalie and Jerry got into the car.
“Doctor, are you okay?” Jerry fastened his seat-belt and looked at Natalie.
“I’m fine,” Natalie replied calmly.
Jerry didn’t say much. After all, this was Natalie’s personal matter, and it wasn’t appropriate for him, an
outsider, to interfére.
“Are you and Julian getting a divorce?”
“Yeah,” Natalie nodded, but after a moment, she shook her head. “It’s not about getting a divorce, we are
already divorced.”
“Already divorced?” Jerry frowned. Upon hearing this, he felt a complex mix of emotions, somewhat contradictory.
But mostly, he felt relieved.
“Yeah… The divorce agreement has been signed,” Natalie said, but halfway through her sentence, she

suddenly remembered that Julian hadn’t mentioned it since she handed him the signed divorce papers…
Could it be that he hasn’t signed them yet?
As Natalie thought about this, her expression changed instantly. What was Julian up to…? He didn’t want a
divorce after all…?
“Doctor, what’s wrong?” Jerry noticed the sudden change in Natalie’s face.
“It’s nothing, I just remembered something,” she composed herself and rolled down the car window as she
spoke.
Fresh air rushed into the car, and Natalie felt more awake.
Regardless of whether Julian wanted a divorce or not, she was determined to get one. If Julian suddenly
changed his mind and didn’t want a divorce, she would directly appeal to the court.
She was absolutely confident of winning.
Natalie regained her calm demeanor. She raised an eyebrow at Jerry and said, “Let’s continue discussing what we were talking about earlier. How can we resolve this matter and retrieve our funds?”
