Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 174

“No, it’s not that… Hey!”

The blond man was dragged out by Julian.

Once in the living room, he slapped Julian on the thigh. “Do you remember me telling you my uncle lost a daughter? Doesn’t she look just like him?”

Julian lit a cigarette. “She grew up in this country, with a mother and a grandmother. How is that possible? Did your uncle have an affair?”

“No way. My uncle and aunt are madly in love. I’d have an affair before my uncle would.”

“There you have it,” Julian said, taking a drag. “She has a father, too, even if he’s as good as nonexistent. She can’t be part of your family.”

“You never know. Our family is… complicated, an international mix. Back then, there was a lot of internal conflict. My uncle was so brilliant, he was everyone’s target. They went after his newborn daughter to control him, but then she was lost, taken by some enemy.”

“Maybe she died.”

“Hey!” the man protested, slapping him again. “Have some decency. I believe my cousin will come back someday.”

“Fine.”

He then switched to gossip. “So who’s the woman you brought back?”

Julian briefly explained Isabel’s situation, since she needed a new identity anyway. “Why don’t we just say she’s your cousin? Since you think she looks like him, let your uncle meet her. If he takes a liking to her, he can make her his daughter on paper.”

“Oh.” The blond man suddenly put on an air of seriousness. “Are you sure about that? If she’s the wife Old Mr. Reed found for you, and she ends up in our family, marrying her won’t be so easy.”

Julian shot a kick at him. “Get lost.”

The blond man was used to it. “Alright, let’s set up a dinner for her and my uncle.”

Julian grunted in agreement. “So, did you just come here to gossip?”

“Not entirely.” The blond man got down to business. “I heard Richard’s partnership with the Blackwell Group fell through.”

Julian understood. “You want to make a play for the Blackwell Group?”
