Chapter 106 Deserved Consequences

“Did you… need something from me?” Julia asked, trying to control her emotions, pretending not
to know.
“I’m here to tell you,” Easton’s voice was cold, like frozen snow, “that you must pay for spreading false rumors. You may only be 13, but that doesn’t mean you can escape responsibility. This was deliberate slander, and it had a very negative effect.”
Julia’s hands began to shake again.
She couldn’t bear to hear any more.
Matheo had already made it clear that he wasn’t going to help me. Emily was just someone who relied on Matheo; she couldn’t help either.
The sting of tears welled up again.
“Expect a court summons, Julia,” Easton said with icy finality, as if he were pronouncing a death
sentence.
Julia’s eyes widened, but she couldn’t get a word out.
“And don’t let me see you again,” Easton added with a wry smile, his tone full of contempt.
“If you’re thinking of going into show business, too bad.” There was a casual coldness to his voice, yet it was sharp and ruthless. “As long as I’m around, you’ll never make it in entertainment.”
She had prepared herself for this, but hearing it still made her heart quiver uncontrollably. A mixture of regret and sorrow washed over her.
I regretted everything
I really regret it now….
After all, I shouldn’t…
After saying that, Easton ended the call.
Julia put down her phone and suddenly crouched down on the floor, hugging her knees and bursting into tears.
Her tears flowed again, and the bitterness overwhelmed her.
The matter was over.
Easton left it to his manager to follow up.

Jean had watched Easton handle the entire rumor incident quickly and efficiently. It all felt
surreal.
In the original plot, this had been a major setback in Easton’s career, yet he had resolved it so easily.
It was almost magical.
“What nonsense are you thinking about now?”
Easton came over and gently ruffled Jean’s hair, a faint smile playing on his lips.
“Shouldn’t you be happy for me?”
The man furrowed his brow slightly, pretending to be annoyed.
Jean quickly caught on and gave him an embarrassed grin. “Of course I’m happy… I’m just a little surprised that everything went so smoothly. I thought it would…”
Easton curled his lips and interrupted, “Let’s not talk about it anymore. You need to get some rest today.
“Would you like to take a shower?” He asked calmly, tilting his head toward the bathroom.
Jean blinked in confusion. “I’m staying here tonight?”
I had thought Easton would just drive me back and drop me off at home later.
But he actually wanted me to stay the night?
“Is that a problem?” Easton asked with a half–smile.
Why did the little girl look so shocked?
Was it really so strange for me to let her stay here?
“I’m just… a little flattered,” Jean pouted honestly.
“Why are you flattered…” Easton smiled helplessly, his eyes quickly softening. “You’re my sister.”
For some reason, Jean’s heart fluttered at that moment.
Easton said nothing more. He went into the bathroom, adjusted everything for Jean, then came our and urged her to take a shower. After all, they had just come from the tunnel and hadn’t cleaned up yet.
Jean’s luggage had also been brought. She took out some clothes and followed Easton’s suggestion to take a bath.
Easton’s bathroom was even more beautiful than Jean had imagined.

The tub itself was spacious, pristine white, gleaming like fine porcelain.
Jean couldn’t help but shake her head.
Easton really did know how to enjoy life. The view from this oceanfront apartment was unbeatable.
But now it was my turn to enjoy it.
She took a long, comfortable bath, and her mood immediately improved.
The frustration and exhaustion of the day seemed to wash away completely.
She looked out at the starry sky and the relaxed, quiet coast.
Finished
I hadn’t expected things between me and Easton to thaw so suddenly. Our relationship had taken a big step forward.
But if one day the real heiress showed up and he found out I wasn’t his biological sister, would he still treat me the same?
Not just Easton, but Sienna, Dominic…
They were all so nice to me now, but in the future…
If it came down to choosing between me and Sarah, who would they choose?
Jean shook her head quickly.
Better not to think about it.
Expectations always led to disappointment.
Relying on myself is the only way forward. Saving money is the real answer.
Fortunately, I had already saved quite a bit. Even if everyone abandoned me one day, I’d still have my own foundation.
After the bath, Jean came out in oversized loungewear.
