The Heiress Strikes Back

562 Discovering Wallace

Julia glanced at Jason who had picked up his phone and put it down. She used the excuse of going to the toilet as she climbed up the stairs along the dark walls. Although the Crystal Pavilion looked beautiful, after so many years, it had not been completed. She had been in prison for so many years, but the lights in this building had not been repaired. Moreover, the original building model was still retained and there were no surveillance cameras installed.

In fact, from the past, every time she walked up this staircase, she was very afraid. This was because the corridor was dark and there were no lights, the staircase railing was on the verge of collapse, and the stairs were narrow and steep.

Although she could touch the wall and move forward, she had seen the filth on the wall before... Thinking about touching it with her hands made her feel nauseous.

However, at this moment, only such an environment could make her feel at ease. Although her back was covered in cold sweat, when she thought of what she was going to do next, she had no choice but to perk up and prepare.

She took out her phone and sent an “OK” gesture to Daniel. When Julia returned to the banquet hall, she seemed to have been completely drained. She took a few deep breaths of fresh air and forced herself to come back to her senses. She suddenly took a few sips of water to calm herself down.

Jason leaned over and supported himself with one hand on the chair. He held Julia’s hand with the other and leaned over. There was a very calm smile on his face. He blew into Julia’s ear very nastily. “Are you so nervous to be alone with me?”

Julia’s ears and neck were visibly red, and her eyes were flustered. She did not dare to look at Jason at all. Her entire body was tense, and she even tried her best to say calmly, “No.”

Jason was very happy with her reaction and returned to his seat.

“Yo! Sister, why do you only know how to look for men the moment you come out? You even forgot about your younger sister?” A familiar voice suddenly came from behind Julia.

“I, I want to go to the washroom first... Wait a minute...” Julia’s entire body was trembling. She didn’t even turn around. How could Sonia have come so quickly? She wasn’t mentally prepared at all.

After so many years, Julia had completely changed into a different person. She became even more silent. She did whatever others asked her to do. After so many years in prison, she had already become someone that everyone could bully.

In the washroom, Julia took a few deep breaths. Just as she was about to leave, she felt the door of the cubicle open.

“Sir... here...” Julia was shocked. She felt pressure. Wallace didn’t seem to notice that there was someone here and hid in the washroom.

After seeing Julia, Wallace’s pupils constricted. He subconsciously said, “President Sonia... why are you here? Isn’t this the men’s washroom?”

Wallace approached Julia and whispered, “Don’t make a sound!” Then, he retreated and distanced himself.

Footsteps outside the door stopped in front of the men’s toilet for a while.

At this moment, Julia was like a frightened deer, leaning against the wall and trembling.

Julia only dared to speak when there was no sound outside the door. “Sir... I’m sorry... Can I leave now?”

Wallace frowned and nodded. “I’m sorry.”

He didn’t expect to meet Zon the moment he entered. Wallace’s intuition told him that there was something wrong with that man and he had to avoid him.

“But why is President Sonia in the men’s room?” Although Wallace had only seen Sonia once, he had a deep impression of her. However, why would someone of her status be in the men’s room?

Besides... Wallace looked at Julia in front of him and felt that something was wrong, but he couldn’t say it for a moment. At least, he felt that Sonia gave him a different feeling today.

Julia was slightly stunned, as if she did not expect to be mistaken. She only nodded awkwardly and quickly left to step into the elevator.

Zon thought that Wallace had entered the elevator, so he quickly followed him. He didn’t expect a woman to be in the elevator. Could he really be seeing things? But he clearly saw Wallace just now!

A pair of hands grabbed Julia’s arms. The strength of his muscles caused her to be at a loss.

“What, what are you doing?” Julia was shocked by Zon’s actions. She had no idea where this man had come from. She had never seen him before.

“Did you see a man just now?” Zon asked sternly, scaring Julia so much that she trembled reflexively.

Thinking of Wallace, who she had met in the toilet just now, Julia took a deep breath and shook her head.
