Chapter 41 Chapter 41 "Heard you were sick a few days ago. Looks like you're fine now," Luciana said as she walked over, calm as ever. Juliette forced a smile. "Guess I am. Juliette thought if she stayed away for a few days, she could dodge this mess. Who knows Luciana really meant it when she said she wouldn't help? she muttered Luciana almost laughed. She had been coming to the palace every single day. If this were before, Juliette would've shown up every time. Now Juliette was too scared to show her face, all because she had to keep pretending to be sick. And Juliette had avoided the palace because she didn't want to get involved. But at the same time, Juliette worried Luciana might win Francesca over, and if that happened, Francesca might start favoring Luciana instead. So these days of pretending to be sick had been rough on her. Now that Francesca had called her in, Juliette had no choice but to stop faking When Francesca asked her to help, Juliette just brushed it off, pretending not to understand, acting all clueless. Finally, Francesca told her to go see Dorian. After leaving, Juliette immediately went out to find Luciana, hoping to drag her along Juliene said, "Back then, when Dorian made you angry, I was there too. But I never thought you'd stay mad this long. Mother's been worried sick these days about his confinement Don't you think it's time to help him out a little? Luciana couldn't hold back a laugh. Juliette really is a perfect daughter. "If you're so worried about Mother, why don't you do it yourself?" Luciana shot back. Does she bring up Mother because she cares about her, or is she just trying to get me to feel guilty?" Luciana muttered. Juliette looked away, eyes shifting. Tm not good with words. I'm afraid I'd make it worse. Father's already mad, and that god statue ended up with me, remember?" Luciana clapped her hands together, her eyes lighting up. "Well, isn't that perfect? Just say you wanted to take a look at it, so Dorian sent it over. Then you both forgot to return it, and that's why it never got back in time." "What are you talking about?" Juliette's face twisted in anger. "I can't even explain it as it is, and now you want me to admit I asked for it? One reason Juliette had faked being sick was to distance herself from the whole mess. Actually, Juliette had been cursing Dorian behind his back these past few days. 'Of all the things he could've sent, why did he have to send something from the palace?' she snapped. "You don't want to take the blame, and neither do I. I didn't ask you to help, so don't try to push me either," Luciana said coldly, giving her a sharp look Luciana turned to leave. There were still things to handle back at the estate. Juliette quickly stepped in front of her and forced a smile. "Fine, we don't have to help him. But he's still our brother. Can't we at least go visit him together? Juliette really didn't want to go alone. She had been waiting for Luciana all this time. Luciana paused, then finally nodded. "Alright. Let's go." It had been a while since she'd seen Dorian. Luciana wondered how he was doing with this whole confinement thing. In the past, Dorian had never been locked up this long. Maybe in this life, the new experience had been kind of fun for him "Princess!" A shadow suddenly jumped out from the side, startling both of them Donovan immediately stepped in front of Luciana, scowling at the man. 1/2 4.02 PM Chapter 41 It was Jacob-the long-absent Jacob. Last time, when Juliette never showed up, he had no choice but to ask Dorian for help. At first, Dorian didn't want to get involved and risk trouble. But Jacob's request had been simple he just wanted Dorian to assign a servant to look after him a little. Nothing fancy, no favors, not even speaking on his behalf. Just someone who could help him get rescue if he was half-dead and needed help 2/2 Title: ReelTalk EP 43 - Recreating Iconic ReelShort Looks with Sarah Moliski, Sarah Noelle, and Maria Barseghian Author: CrushReel Genre: Romance Status: ongoing In the latest episode of ReelTalk, fashion takes center stage as host Sarah Moliski joins forces with stars Sarah Noelle and Maria Barseghian to tackle a captivating style challenge.
