You Are The Apple of My Eyes
Chapter 607 A Tragic Ending

Only then did Julie realize that Noah was a policeman. There was a trace of regret in her eyes. 'How could I just ignore him? He is here.'

Although Julie was filled with regret, she still didn't want to give up.

"I was just discussing something with Henry. I was not threatening him. You can't just sling mud at me." Julie didn't dare to look into Noah's eyes while she spoke.

She was not only afraid of her husband, but also Noah. Perhaps it was because of the nightmares she had recently, but she was filled with guilt and didn't dare to have any conflict with Noah.

Noah captured Julie's uneasiness. A conniving look flashed through his scheming eyes. He still stood tall in front of Henry, not allowing him to speak.

"Ms. Liu, I'm Henry's brother. Whatever you want to discuss with him, you can discuss with me. I won't agree with what you just said, though. Before that, I want to say something else."

Julie was nervous; she knew that Noah was going to give her a hard time.

'Since when did they get along so well? It's not like they have the same mother. Besides, there are so many brothers that have endless conflicts over family property.'

"Henry is Henry! You are you! Why should you make decisions for him? Are you going to be the CEO of Ye Group on his behalf? I seem to recall that you are no longer the biggest shareholder of Ye Group." Julie was doing her utmost to cause dissention between the brothers.

She knew Henry wasn't a fool. He had to understand what she meant and moreover, he surely didn't want to give up his power as CEO of Ye Group. All men strived for fame and status.

Henry couldn't be that easily provoked though. All he cared about was his lover. Fame and status meant nothing to him.

Henry poked his head out from behind Noah and kindly reminded, "After the general shareholder's meeting, Noah is now the chairman of Ye Group. He holds forty-five percent of the shares. Whether Ye Group or Ye family, it's up to him now."

Julie was dumbfounded and her face showed it.

She questioned loudly, "What about your father? Are you rebelling against him? Your father is still alive. Are you planning on taking all the family property for yourselves? You are shamelessly ambitious!" "Oh, I forgot to tell you. It was all my dad's idea," Henry said with a smile as he hid behind Noah again.

Noah was a lean man but he had a thick and powerful back. Staring at it, Henry felt like he was seeking protection from the rain and wind behind his dad's back, just as he did when he was a child. Henry pushed his glasses up and smiled. Noah had asked him to continue being the CEO of Ye Group. He was a brilliant leader. One day the Ye Group would be passed on to the kids Noah might have. Julie was stunned. She didn't have any real power in the Ye family so she could only ever rely on her husband. When he was in trouble, she relied on her daughter.

'Now that my daughter is in trouble and my husband has nothing, what should I do? What are my options going forward?'

This spurred Julie on to save her daughter.

But before Julie could say anything, Noah brought up something from the past.

"I want to let you know that if any news about Henry and Adrian comes to light, I'll know it's you. You will end up in jail with your daughter. You know better than anyone else why my mother died." "What? I..." Julie was absolutely flabbergasted. Her eyes widened as her jaw dropped.

Panic surged from her feet all the way to her head. She felt as if a pair of hellish bones were strangling her, just like in her dreams.

Noah was taking a shot in the dark, in all honesty. He had no idea that Julie was somehow tied in with his mother's death. He bluntly said, "You thought I wouldn't investigate? Even though twenty years have passed, with current technology, anything can still be restored and investigated."

Julie fell onto the sofa. The softness of the cushions held her and made her feel like she had no control of her body anymore. She felt exposed and completely helpless.

"I want you to die." Noah clenched his fists and took a deep breath to try and calm himself down. He didn't actually have any real evidence yet.

"Remember what I said. If any news about Henry and Adrian surfaces, I will send you to prison. Get out now!" He pointed at the door.

He didn't want to see his mother's murderer for another second.

Julie was so occupied in saving herself that she had forgotten about her daughter. All she could think about was hurrying out of the room.

The nightmares had really been playing on her mind. This old memory that Noah brought up seemed to really take the wind out of her sails. At this point, she didn't even have the energy nor strength to stand up.

Noah's arm was still trembling in the air. Henry could feel the resentment in his heart which made his ache as well. It was really evident when Noah traded the truth of his mother's death for the sake of Henry and Adrian.

Henry raised his hand to pull Noah's arm down. As he touched the trembling arm, he felt his cold skin. Henry held his hand tight, hoping to give Noah some warmth.

Henry wanted to say thank you, but it didn't feel like it meant enough. He didn't know what else to say.

"I'm sorry, Noah. I'm so sorry."

Perhaps it was because of the warmth he felt, but Noah seemed to snap out of his rage as his eyes gradually returned to their natural crystal clear state.

All of a sudden, Adrian pushed the door open and entered with John.

Adrian glared at the two men who seemed to be holding hands. He pointed at them and marched forward. "What are you doing? Let go of him!"

He forcefully pushed the men apart and wrapped his arm around Henry's neck, dragging him away from Noah.

"How dare you? Henry, do you have a death wish?"

"No, you've got it all wrong. My brother just..." Looking at Noah's gloomy eyes, Henry didn't want to unearth the sadness again. "I'll explain later. Now let go of me." "Humph!" Dissatisfied as Adrian was, he loosened his grip.

John glanced at the scene before him and then looked at Noah's pale face. "Are you okay?"

Noah looked up and said, "I'm fine. Why are you here?"

"Because of her." Adrian looked at the trembling Julie, who slumped on the sofa, and put one hand on Henry's shoulder, as if declaring his ownership.

"I knew she would come to you for Vivian. Your assistant called me as soon as she got here. Mr. Shi happened to have something to say, so I brought him here as well."

John nodded and looked at Julie. His deep and mellow voice sounded calmly.

"You don't have to ask Noah or anyone else for help. I've already asked someone to take care of Vivian."

Hearing her daughter's name, Julie regained her composure. She raised her head and looked at the domineering eyes looking over her. With her lips trembling, she said, "Mr. Shi, are you telling the truth? Vivi's love for you for all those years seems to not be in vain after all. Mr. Shi, you..."

"I brought her a wheelchair," John interrupted. "Didn't she want my father to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life? I also gave her one."

"Mr. Shi, when did you break her leg?" Adrian asked excitedly.

"Last night."

John's words initially shone like a beacon of hope to Julie, but in actuality, it was more like the light shining on a dagger. Finally, her face turned pale and she fainted.

Before Julie lost her consciousness, she couldn't help but think that her nightmares were coming true.

She was doomed because of Noah's mother, and her daughter's leg had been broken while she was in prison.
