Why was she here?
Yulia looked very calm. "Didn't I just say I work here? As for your other question, I can only tell you the Maxwell family went bankrupt, and my parents are dead. I have nothing now; I'm no longer the young lady of the Maxwell family."
The jovial smile on Ernest's lips gradually disappeared after he heard the latter part of her answer. He looked at Yulia and found the news hard to accept, so he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"You don't have to look at me like that. I'm no longer sad, so you don't have to think I'm pitiful.
I do not need that."
After saying this, Yulia straightened her back as if she didn't care.
The atmosphere was silent for a long time. Ernest sighed heavily.
"Sorry, I didn't expect things to turn out like this. What I said just now was unintentional. I apologize."
"You don't have to apologize. You didn't know. This is how you usually talk, so I don't blame you. But if you continue to say such things after you know, then I might really get angry."
The two of them looked at each other for a while, then smiled.
"Why didn't you tell us about such a huge thing sooner?" Ernest asked.
Not only were Quill and Yulia childhood friends, but Ernest grew up together with them as well. They were the best of friends.
However, the Hanover family and the Maxwell family were close, but the Lowell family was not.
"I don't like to talk about these things. Besides, when it happened, it was chaotic. I didn't have time to do other things."
Speaking of those sad days, Yulia still felt negative and low. However, she managed to get a grip quickly. She smiled at Ernest and said, "There's no need to bring it up now that everything is over. It's just that the young lady of the Maxwell family is gone, but another Yulia Maxwell appeared. It's good that I'm able to be a smalltime employee here now."
"Quill doesn't know, does he?" Ernest asked.
Yulia was stunned and shook her head. "I didn't tell him."
"I guessed so."
Based on their relationship in the past, if Quill knew Yulia was working here, there was no reason for him to let her be an ordinary employee. Not only because of their friendship but also Yulia's abilities qualified her for more.
She was capable and smart. After all, she was the only daughter in her family. She had been running the company with Mr. Maxwell for a long time.
"You should tell him. After all, you need to climb the ladder."
"I don't think that's necessary. The reason I didn't want to tell any of you is that I want to do it my way and not..."
However, Ernest suddenly interrupted her, "If you want to prove yourself through your efforts, then there is no need. You've already proved yourself long ago. The young lady of the Maxwell Group is not a pushover. Those who have suffered losses because they looked down on you are more than proof of your ability, now..."
"It's not the same now." Yulia's hands were clenched into fists. She mumbled, "That was in the past, but now ... I used to have the support of the Maxwell Group. There were a lot of people who could help me. Now... I'm all alone. How can I prove myself?"
Ding...
The elevator arrived, and the door opened.
Ernest did not go out but looked at her. When Yulia realized which floor it was, she was taken aback for a split second. She took a few steps back and pressed against the wall after coming back to her senses. "You're here to see him, aren't you? Go ahead."
"Aren't you going with me?" Ernest asked.
