    She took a bath again and scrubbed her body three times. Then, she tossed her dress because Julian’s musky scent was all over it.

    Tears welled up in her eyes as the city beneath her slowly went to sleep

    The sky was dark as Julian went back to the Ziegler bresidence/b. The ck Rolls–Royce had just ground to a halt when Noah opened the car bdoor and /bbsaid /brespectfully, “Mr. Ziegler, Mr. Ziegler Senior is waiting for you in the studyb,/b”

    Julian stepped out of his car and frowned. “Why isn’t Grandpa sleeping at this time of night?

    bNoah /bchuckled. “bYou’ve /bbeen back in Brindley for a week, but you have yet to swing by and check on him. He wasn’t too happy about it.”

    Julian grinned and followed Noah to the study. The rich scent of aged bwood /bfilled the room, and the shadows of some tall nts were reflected on the window.

    “Good on you. You’ve got to be the toughest guy in the family now.”

    Julian could tell what Dominic bwas /bhinting at. He gestured for Noah to exit the study while he walked over and sat across from the old–timer. Smiling nonchntly, he said, “It’s just a small achievement. It’s nothing bto /bbe proud of.”

    Dominic stared at Jodian. He looked at thetter bfrom /ball angles, and he still believed that palian was bewitched.

    He moved a chess piece across the chessboard and grunted, “why, that’s humble of you. The Gibson residence was almost bumed down because of you

    “It’s bad enough you screwed up Gibson Group, but you even seduced Natalie. It only btook /byou several dinner appointments to charm her pants off. Aren’t you worried that Willow will get upset?”

    Julian smilled warmly, “Grandpa, you made it sound more serious than it actually is. Something bad happened to Jeffrey’s family, and I wanted to express my concem. That’s ball /bWhat makes you think I was seducing Natalie?

    Dominic was no longer in the mood. Tossing the chess piece, he sighed. “Julian, I’ve always been proud of how capable you bare/b, but there were times when I was worried that you were roaling things toond bfor /byourself.

    “Youve a bit of dealing with everything by being cunning. Now, you’re bdoing /bit to Willow. No one could take it. It’s wise to bavoid /bbeing too extreme.”

    Julian chuckled “You’re right, Grandpa. I’ll keep an eye out for that bad habit,”

    Domini nced at him and brought up another tople. “Dexter and Catherine were sentenced to imprisonment a few days ago. He’s getting four yearsb, /bband /bbshe’ll /bbe put bnd bars for two decades.
