Chapter 253 What Are You Looking At?
“Who’s there?”
Yuliana looked in her direction. She saw Harry and Scarlett in the middle of the crowd, talking to several young men and women.
Scarlett talked to the men and women before her most of the time. Meanwhile, Harry just stood there quietly, absent-minded.
Yuliana didn’t expect to run into Harry at Lucas’ birthday party.
On second thought, it was only normal to see Harry at the Fuller family’s birthday party.
Many of the Fuller family’s business partners attended the birthday party. Their business partners were within Juxshire’s circle, and they usually dealt business with one another. Even if they hadn’t done business with each other in the past, it didn’t mean they wouldn’t work together at present or in the future. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
The businessmen were only concerned about their own interests.
“Come on, just pretend you didn’t see them.” Yuliana looked away and took a sip of the juice.
The juice was cold.
She couldn’t eat too much cold food nowadays. If she didn’t pay attention to it, she would get sick.
When Xandria heard what she said, Xandria became enraged, “Yuliana, can’t you be tougher? When you see the Ziegler family’s scum, you should kick his ass!”
Yuliana smiled and said, “After that, what should I do next?”
If Yuliana were to do that, everyone would be put on the spot. Perhaps, Harry had such thick skin that he wouldn’t feel much pain, and she would instead hurt her own hand.
Xandria tutted and shook her head. “Yuliana, are you being too sensible, or are you being too aggrieved?”
Xandria thought, “She often thinks about the consequences first in everything she does.”
Yuliana practiced cautiousness and good manners, but Xandria thought it was meaningless.
Xandria didn’t dwell on the topic. Instead, she talked about a new bag from a brand she liked and wanted to invite Yuliana to have a look.
Yuliana hadn’t gone shopping in months. She stayed at home every day. She would also like to go out to improve her mood. Therefore, she made an appointment with Xandria. The duo could go out for some relaxation during the weekend.
As soon as they finished talking, Scarlett came over to them.
“Hello, Ms. Livingstone.” Scarlett glanced at Yuliana before turning to Xandria. “Hello, Ms. Yeager.”
Yuliana nodded politely. “Nice to see you, Ms. Lynch.”
Scarlett said, “I haven’t seen Ms. Livingstone for a long time. I heard from Wade that you’ve asked for a leave. Is that true?”
Scarlett’s cousin, Wade, was one of the students from Yuliana’s class.
Yuliana replied to her coolly.
Xandria sneered to herself, “The news that Margaret had bribed the kidnappers to kidnap Yuliana was already known in our circle. How can Scarlett not be aware of the recent upheaval in the Ziegler family?
Besides, Scarlett must have known about the relationship between Yuliana and Harry long ago. Why is she trying to play dumb now?”
Xandria rolled her eyes without hesitation.
Scarlett noticed Xandria’s expression. Scarlett didn’t pay much attention to it and kept a smile on her face. She paused for a moment before saying regretfully, “Actually, I’ve heard about the recent incident. I’m glad to see that you’re safe and sound. Ms. Livingstone, Marge has had a bad temper since she was a child. She had finally learned her lesson. I hope she will keep her temper in check in the future.”
Yuliana replied to her politely. “Thank you.”
“Then, I’ll leave you two alone. It’s time for Harry to come to me.” Scarlett nodded with a smile. She then

turned around and went up to Harry.
Meanwhile, Harry was in a business conversation with several men in their thirties and forties.
The Ziegler family thrived in business these days. As such, many people took the initiative to ride on his coattails.
Yuliana cast a glance at him indifferently. When she averted her gaze, she noticed a familiar figure. She immediately looked back in that direction.
She thought, “It’s him!”
The man wore a dark gray suit with a glass of wine in his hand and a smile on his face. He looked down as he listened to the people talking next to him. He was calm and casual.
The man seemed to have noticed Yuliana’s gaze, so he looked up to see Yuliana.
When they exchanged glances, the man nodded and smiled at Yuliana.
Some images flashed in Yuliana’s mind. She stared at him expressionlessly and didn’t respond to his greeting.
“What are you looking at? Why do you look so serious?” Christopher’s voice rose.
Yuliana averted her gaze and tilted her head to look at Christopher. He stood right behind her with his hand resting on the backrest of the couch. He looked in the same direction that Yuliana had looked before.
She was caught by surprise and said in a low voice, “Nothing.”
