Julia had a guilty conscience, but she could not show it on her face. She immediately revealed a cute expression and looked at Bailey as she blew a kiss. “Sister, you’re so good. I love you!”

Lynn looked at Bailey and Julia, who had recovered their harmony, and felt relieved. Nothing was as important as her son inheriting the Shear Corporation.

Not to mention whether Julia had really taken a fancy to Xavier, even if it was the other way around, if Bailey had taken a fancy to Julia’s husband, Lynn would have asked Julia to get a divorce and give up her husband.

He would just be a son-in-law who was not related to her by blood. He was far less important than her son’s future. As for her daughter, when Liam inherited the Shear Corporation in the future, she would be able to have any good man he wanted.

Bailey picked up Julia and set off.

After receiving Julia’s notice, Xavier quickly set up the wine glass. Then, he poured red wine into Bailey’s wine glass in the middle and poured some unknown powder into it.

In order to avoid trouble, Xavier poured a little of it into his wine glass as well, leaving only Julia’s glass without any powder.

Xavier had already thought of his excuses. He was just drugged and was in delirium. When he saw the woman he loved beside him, the two of them became passionate and rolled together in heat.

When the time came, what’s done would have been done. Bailey would have nothing to say. After all, both of them were victims.

Even if Bailey wanted to investigate later, she would only find out that an outsider like Julia was once present. However, according to Bailey’s personality, she would not do anything to Julia. In the end, she would stop investigating because of Julia. Perfect!

Zachary, who was holding his phone, looked at the surveillance footage with a calm expression. However, the sinister aura in his eyes became stronger and stronger, as if it would erupt like a volcano at any moment.

Damn Xavier, he actually dared to scheme against Bailey!

Soon, Bailey and Julia appeared on the screen.

When Julia entered and saw Xavier, she pretended to be surprised and asked, “Brother-in-law, why are you here?”

Xavier said with a refined and warm expression, “Your sister and I have a small misunderstanding, so I want you to help me clarify it.”

As Xavier spoke, he gentlemanly pulled a chair for Bailey and placed her in the middle of the two of them. He was gentle, considerate, and thoughtful.

Jealousy was like a thick chain. The more Julia told herself that it was just an illusion, the more the chain of jealousy shrank around her, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Bailey looked at Julia, who was clenching her fists, and smiled gently. She asked gently, “Julia, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Xavier suddenly looked up at Julia, his eyes filled with strong warning.

Julia gritted her teeth to hide it. “I’m fine. Maybe I’m on my period? That’s why I’m a little unwell.”

“Then why didn’t you say so earlier? If we had known that you were not in good health, we would have changed the time. You can’t drink later. It’s not good for your health,” Bailey said.

Julia nodded obediently.

Seeing that the three of them were sitting down comfortably, Xavier said to Julia, “I asked your sister to ask you out today because I wanted to confront you. On the day of the Gaston family’s banquet, your sister took out a necklace from my pocket. Your sister said that it was a necklace she once gave you, so I don’t know why your necklace is in my pocket. I want to ask you today.”

Julia immediately entered her acting state. Her eyes widened as she asked in disbelief, “How is that possible? Why is my necklace in Brother-in-law’s pocket? Sister, did you see wrongly?”

After saying that, Julia reached out to Xavier and said angrily, “Where’s that necklace? Take it out and let me take a look.”

Xavier looked at Bailey and said gently, “Bailey, show your sister the necklace.”

Bailey took out the necklace from her bag. Julia took it from Bailey’s hand, and her originally angry face was instantly filled with smiles.

Julia smiled at Bailey and said, “Sister, you gave me this necklace before. It was just that I saw that it was very expensive and was a little embarrassed, so I bought an identical one myself and secretly placed it in your pocket. I wanted to give you a surprise. Later on, you didn’t mention this matter, so I forgot.”

Bailey’s expression was calm as she replied calmly, “Is that so?”

Julia immediately pulled a long face and said unhappily, “Sister, don’t you believe me? At that time, I thought that since we had exchanged necklaces, we could wear it out together. I would let others know at a glance that we were sisters with a great relationship! If you don’t believe me, you can look at my invoice.”
