Julian didn’t know what to say.
To be honest, watching how powerful Lucas was, he was starting to regret his decision.
Was it really the right move to follow Tessa all the way to Millford?
If things had gone according to plan, he should’ve been soaking in the bathtub at Lily’s villa right about now.
In Julian’s point of view, the two of them would be enjoying a sweet little life.
In reality, Lily had always been thoroughly disgusted with him.
But now that they were already in Millford, going back empty–handed would be a huge loss.
If Aurora woke up smoothly, all of Tessa’s effort at Walton Corporation would be completely wasted.
That thought left a bitter taste in Tessa’s mouth.
She couldn’t let that happen.
“Whatever the case, we’re here now. There’s no way we’re just turning around and leaving!”
She told herself with fierce resolve.
She turned to look at Julian, her gaze unreadable.
Julian felt a chill crawl up his back under that stare.
Something about it unsettled him, though he couldn’t say why.
Crossing his arms, he asked nervously, “What are you planning?”
Tessa chuckled and crooked her finger at him.
He hesitated at first, but her smile was dangerously captivating, like it had its own charm.
He leaned in.
The moment he heard her plan, Julian immediately took two steps back. “Are you
insane?”
Tessa raised a brow. “Insane? Hardly. This world forced me into it. Otherwise, how the hell would I have survived till now? That’s simply impossible.”
Julian frowned, completely unable to wrap his head around it.
Tessa didn’t come from a bad family, and Grace treated her well–so why did her thinking always skew toward something so twisted?
She was even a little extreme.
It was Tessa’s idea to put Aurora into a coma this time.
He’d only been dragged into it.
But the truth was, he’d never had thoughts like that before.
Even at the height of his hatred for Aurora, it had never crossed his mind to go that far.
What on earth was going on with Tessa…
Tessa looked into Julian’s eyes and saw the unease clouding his expression.

Tessa was right.
They were in the same boat now.
If one of them went down, the other wouldn’t be spared either.
They both knew that all too well.
The priority now was keeping Aurora from waking up.
And making sure Tessa kept her position.
That was crucial.
“I get it. Don’t worry.”
Seeing him relent, Tessa’s expression finally eased a little.

Crossing her arms, she said impatiently, “What, you’re backing out now? Don’t forget, we’re in this together. If anything goes wrong, you’re not getting out of it either.”
Seeing his hesitation, Tessa could only resort to threats.
If Julian kept wavering, then what was the point of bringing him here in the first place?
That would’ve made everything meaningless.
Meeting her threatening gaze, Julian finally pressed his lips into a tight line and gave a hard nod.
