For the time being, Julia sealed her lips.

Finally, the waiter arrived to serve the dishes. As she sat at the table across Barton, Julia silently tasted the food. Even though the meal was delicious, she could not enjoy the experience since her mind was somewhere else.

"So, Miss Gu, you wanted to see me. Can you tell me why?" When they finished their dinner, Barton placed his chopsticks on the table and wiped his mouth clean.

"Mr. Xiao, there is something important that I want to talk to you about." When she finally had the chance to speak, Julia did not mince her words. "I will be brief about this. We need to talk about Terence."

"Terence?" Barton remained unperturbed as if he expected Julia to bring up the topic. "You came to talk about HT Group, correct?"

"Yes I did." Julia nodded and swallowed a lump in her throat. "Mr. Xiao, I understand that what happened to Jean angered you. However, don't you think what you're doing is quite ruthless? Ev

nd looked at Julia coldly. He didn't believe what she said at all. The evidence was overwhelming, but he refused to believe that Jean really did those things. He was blinded by guilt and love.

He looked at Julia and uttered, "Then, you can call me unreasonable and crazy for all I care! You go back and tell Terence that if you want me to let him go, let him come to me himself and apologize. Maybe I might consider to do business with his company again. Otherwise, I won't cut a deal."

"What? This is preposterous! Mr. Xiao, you'll regret what you're doing right now, I'm telling you," uttered Julia, glaring at Barton.

Barton huffed, stood up, and was about to leave his seat.

Julia stopped Barton, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Mr. Xiao, I'm glad you found your daughter. I really do. But after your emotions subside, I advise you to look carefully at what kind of person your daughter is. Maybe you'll be surprised at what you'll find out."
