Chapter 117
The moment she waved goodbye, her heart ached and she became confused.
Grandpa really just wanted to see her. She thought that he would put in a word for his family.
However, his honorable attitude made her feel even worse because the more she wanted revenge on
the Duvals, the more it would hurt him. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
How would she find the balance between Ernest and the rest of the Duvals?
Meanwhile, Julie and Sophia were enjoying a spa that was brought to them at home.
Sophia had always loved to indulge. Rickard forbade her from leaving but she was still able to spend
lavishly and pay for people to come over.
The duo lay on the comfortable couch and had golden masks on while enjoying the massage from
two masseuses.
“Oh, this is so comfortable.” Julie gave a satisfied sigh and asked the masseuse to put more pressure.
“Lower, lower, do it properly.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Julie took a sip of her fresh juice and asked her mother, “Mom, when is grandpa coming back? I
thought it was soon. Why haven’t we heard anything yet?”
Julie scoffed. “Are you looking forward to his return? When he’s really back, do you think we’ll still get
to do this?”
“That’s true.” Remembering how stern her grandpa was, Sophia pressed her lips together then
continued her relaxation.
When Ernest walked in and saw them laying there, his aged face looked unhappy. He walked over
without speaking.
When the masseuses saw him, they turned pale and immediately walked to the side.
“Hmm? Why did you stop? I’m not satisfied yet!” Julie unhappily removed her mask and stared straight
into the old man’s eyes.
“Ah!” She screamed and lost her composure.
“Dad… Dad, when did you get back?”
“Hmmph!” Ernest didn’t want outsiders to see this and waved his hand. “You can leave now and you’re
not allowed to come back here.”
The masseuses weren’t going to oppose that, so they quickly packed up and left.
Sophia realized that her grandpa was back and stood up next to her mother, like children who were
going to be punished.
“Why didn’t you inform us before coming back? I could have sent someone to pick you up,” Julie
quickly said to soften the mood, but Ernest wasn’t taking any of it.
“What? This is my home. Do I need your approval before coming back?”
“No, that’s not what Mom meant. She just wanted to make some preparations to welcome you home.”
Sophia smiled and went over to hold his arm, but he avoided it.
He angrily glared at them. “More like trying to cover up before I get home? If I didn’t come back. earlier,
I wouldn’t know that this was the lavish life that you’re living!”
“That’s an exaggeration.” Julie had been getting everything she wanted, so she couldn’t listen to the
harsh truth. She had to object.
“The Duvals are a successful family and Rickard is very capable. How are Sophia and I being lavish if
we want to put some effort into self-care?”
