Kaitlyn‘s tone was calm, but her words pierced through Julian‘s heart like sharp daggers.
At this very moment, Julian was forced into a corner.
He wouldn‘t dare admit that he wanted to take Vince‘s place in
front of the latter‘s face.
Even so, he couldn‘t blurt out that he was scared of Vince in front of so many people. In the end, he kept mum and said nothing.
The air between them was tense, the tension so thick it could be cut with a knife.
Matthew and Quinton exchanged glances, smiling at one another as they watched the scene before them unfold.
They knew their little tricks had no use to Vince, but…
They were still hoping for a slim chance it might happen.
If Julian could disrupt Vince‘s circle and sow discord among everyone, they would probably get the opportunity to take Vunce’s position.
Julian took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He narrowed his eyes at Vince before saying quietly, “It‘s my fault for barging in here so suddenly, Young Lord York.” “However, I couldn‘t help myself.”
He flung a laptop to Vince‘s face.
“You were the one who sent this to Daily Hong Kong, weren‘t you?”
Everyone threw a quick glance at the laptop, then exchanged grins of amusement with one another
They all knew just how much this achievement meant to Julian.
Yet, it was easily written off.
This was why Julian was throwing a fit of rage.
Vince shot a few careless glances at the laptop, but he didn‘t give a straight answer.
“Why would you doubt me rather than Harvey?”
“Logically speaking, this news would benefit him the most.”
“It‘s true he‘s a b*stard,” Julian spat coldly, “but at least he keeps his promises!”
“There‘s no need for him to play small tricks and stab me in the back for no reason!”
“There‘s no chance that he‘s the one behind this.”
There was something else that Julian didn‘t say.
Based on Harvey‘s position, there was no point for him to do something this petty.
And since the third house was already standing with Marcel, Harvey would have to be insane to do something like this in the first place.
Quinton chuckled playfully.
“I know Harvey, Julian. I know him more than you ever could.”
“Even I wouldn‘t be so sure that he was the one who did such a thing.”
“And why would you be, anyway?”
“Looks like you got to know him pretty well after joining him in battle, huh?”
“Are we supposed to see this as an act of betrayal?”
“Nobody cares about your motives, Julian,” Matthew added.
“After all, everyone here has their own goals.”
“But you… You trust a man who‘s going against the Yorks of Hong Kong! Not to mention, it‘s the same person Young Lord York is trying to finish off!”
“Are you betraying us?”
“If that‘s the case, then I‘m afraid that you have to get out of here!” .
“Anyone can set foot here, but we won‘t allow a damn traitor!”
Julian ignored their blatant insults and narrowed his eyes at Vince.
“You haven‘t answered my question yet, Young Lord York.”
“Did you do it or not?!”
