Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 1459

Not knowing how much time had passed, she suddenly heard steady footsteps outside the meeting room. Yulia turned around.

It wasn't too long ago that they had seen each other, but Quill was much thinner than before. It was obvious at first glance that he hadn't had a good rest during that period of time, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Because of Vera's incident, he was physically and mentally exhausted.

He had to care for his wife on one hand, and had to deal with the Holt family on the other. It must have been exhausting for him.

Seeing him like this, the guilt in Yulia's heart grew even stronger.

Because of her, everyone was hurt. Perhaps, she shouldn't have returned home. If she had remained abroad, so many things would not have happened.

She didn't know if it was because of this incident, but Quill treated her even more coldly. He didn't even greet her when she came in. He pulled out a chair and sat down directly, then looked at her icily.

She knew that she was in the wrong. Although she felt sad, she did not say much. She just went forward and handed the document to him.

He didn't take it, so she placed the document on the table.

"These are all the important information of the company."

Upon hearing this, he narrowed his eyes. He was not sure what she was trying to do.

"Jasper and I know each other. He knew about Vera and I, and he felt that I was unjustly treated, which was why he did these things. Although he was the one who did it, I am also partly responsible. I can no longer accept your help in revitalizing the Maxwell family. I have already sorted out these documents."

Quill didn't read the information, nor did he reply. He just looked at Yulia and asked after a long time, "Do you know the truth about the fire?"

He was indirectly asking if she knew who had started the fire but kept silent about it, or if she was innocent and didn't know anything about it at all.

She looked at him, pursed her lips, and then sat down opposite of him.

"The arson actually happened twice. The first time was in a cafe. I had invited Vera out to have a chat, and at that time Jasper wanted to kill her by setting her ablaze but I stopped him. I told him that I didn't want to take anyone's life. I thought... he wouldn't do this, but I didn't expect..."

She really didn't expect that Jasper would do such a thing on the wedding day. He had trapped her in his plan.

Perhaps he was not afraid of being sent to prison at all, she figured.

"So, you knew that he might hurt someone, but you didn't tell me?" Quill's tone was deathly cold as he stared at her.

It was the first time Yulia had seen this kind of look in his eyes. Even though he had never liked her since she was a child, he had treated her with respect.

However, now, the expression in his eyes was completely different.

She felt as if her heart was stabbed by knives, and she almost couldn't breathe.

"No, it's not like that," she hurriedly explained. "On the night before you got married, I went out for a drink and got really drunk that night. I thought of attending your wedding the next day though. Quill, I like you very much. I have liked you since I was a child. I have always hoped that you will look at me properly one day, to give me a chance. I always hope that I can be your wife someday. However, you are not interested in me. Even so, the Maxwell family had brought me up to not hurt anyone despite what happened. Thus, I really hope that you can believe me when I say I really didn't know about it."

Upon hearing her words, he let out a derisive laugh.

"Don't you believe me?"

"If you really took the matter seriously, you would have notified me immediately after the first incident. Also, you'd be alert about his actions after that. Although it is not entirely your responsibility, you didn't take the issue seriously. Therefore, you have no right to say these things to me."
