With the father and daughter working hand in hand, Julie was doomed; she was no match for them.

"Vivian's right, Julie," Bill said in a doting tone.

“I'm neither blind nor stupid. Why would I cheat on a wife who is perfect like you? If there was a woman better than you, you could suspect me of having an affair with her. But Patricia... Let's be honest, she doesn't even come close to you."

“But you..."

Julie wanted to show the evidence she had gotten from Heaven.

Bill's generous financial assistance to Patricia was clear proof that their relationship was far beyond friendship.

It was absolutely impossible that they weren't having an affair!

“I know that I'm not a good husband,"

Bill continued, changing tracks from flattering Julie to evoking her pity by blaming himself.

“Over the years, I have spent more and more time at work, but less and less time with you. I just wanted to make more money. I never meant to neglect you or your feelings.”

ALL of sudden, Bill raised his head and looked straight into Julie's eyes with a fiery gaze.

“But, Julie, you know what? You come from a noble family, while I'm just a poor boy from a small town. I wanted to catch up to you. I wanted to prove myself! I didn't expect that you would misunderstand me while I was trying to become a man that was worthy of you."

His speech was a knockout.

Even Maria could see that.

At the same time, a thought occurred to her.

Why had Julie, the daughter of the wealthy Smith family, married a nobody like Bill? Now she had her answer.

Although Julie looked cold and arrogant on the surface, she was actually very sensitive and sentimental.

And for a woman like Julie, the most irresistible thing was to hear a man say something so romantic to her.

Bill obviously had a knack for saying just those right things.

He knew how to play Julie like a fiddle, and he had done it once again.

Judging from the tears pooling at the corners of Julie's eyes, he knew the impact of his speech was great.

Bill's sweet words had weakened Julie's resolve. Not knowing what to believe, she took a deep breath and finally showed the evidence that she had gotten from Heaven.

"I hired a hacker from Heaven to investigate. You... You've spent so much money on Patricia over these years. How are you going to explain that?"

Hearing the mention of the famous hacker organization, Heaven, the gentle expression on Bill's face changed to astonishment, and even ferocity.
