Her Best Friend Bragged Online About Having A Secret Family With Her Man Chapter 07

Those words were like a bolt of lightning hitting Julian square in the head. 

He snapped his head up, his face turning pale instantly, his pupils vibrating violently. 

When Julian was in middle school, his parents were fighting through a divorce. 

While trying to stop them, he was beaten by his father until his 

body was covered in bruises and then thrown out of the house. 

I saw him when I went out to take the trash, and I brought him 

into my guest room to settle him down. He kept shaking, 

refusing to say a word. 

Until that night when I was about to go to my room to sleep, he suddenly grabbed me, using that exact same look, and 

asked: 

“Sera, are you going to throw me away, too?” 

Julian suddenly seemed to go mad. He violently pushed Cassie 

away and threw himself in front of me, clutching my legs, his 

voice breaking into sobs. 

“No… no… Sera… it’s not like that!” 

“I’m not throwing you away! I never thought about leaving 

you! Sera, don’t look at me like that, I’m begging you, please 

don’t leave me…” 

He broke down. 

His fragile psychological defenses crumbled completely before 

that one sentence. 

He seemed to revert to that gloomy teenager abandoned by the world, desperately clutching the only driftwood in his life. 

Cassie’s mask of dignity shattered. 

She looked in disbelief at Julian, who was kneeling on the floor 

weeping, and screamed: 

“Julian Thorne! Are you crazy? What are you doing? Look at me! Look at Miles! Our marriage certificate is the real one! We 

are the legal couple!” 

I put on a look of confusion and heartbreak, looking down at 

Julian: 

“She says… your marriage certificate is the real one?” 

Julian’s sobbing stopped abruptly. He froze. 

“So…” I let out a self–deprecating laugh, and tears finally broke through the dam. “So our certificate is fake. Julian, you 

actually forged a marriage certificate just to deceive me.” 

I used all my strength to push Julian away. 

“Don’t touch me. You make me sick.” 

I stood up and walked straight toward the door. 

“Sera! Sera, let me explain!” 

Julian chased after me like a madman. 

Cassie was behind him, desperately trying to pull him back. 

I turned around, took a deep look at Cassie in the distance, and arched an eyebrow. 

Then I let Julian chase me as I strode out. 

“That night at the Graduation Party, I really thought it was you! I had too much to drink, and Cassie was wearing your clothes, using your perfume… by the time I woke up, it was too late! Then she was pregnant; she came to the office with the ultrasound and threatened to kill herself. I had no choice… I 

really had no choice!” 

“No choice?” I turned around and slapped him hard across the 

face. 

“Julian, there are plenty of solutions in this world. You chose the most disgusting one.” 

“Calm down, Sera. Just come back with me. I’ll handle it. I’ll 

divorce her immediately. I’ll give you all the assets…” 

“No need.” I looked at him with a gaze so resolute it was 

foreign to him. “Julian, we are completely over.” 

I pushed him away and stepped into the elevator. 

As the doors slowly closed, I saw Julian collapse powerlessly 

onto the floor. 

Cassie rushed out with the child, screaming hysterically at his 

back. 

I didn’t feel the thrill of revenge. 

Instead, I felt a wave of exhaustion and emptiness surge up, 

consuming me.
