Called Off the Wedding, Left Him Bankrupt novel Chapter 128

Juliet felt a pulse of tension between her brows.

"Tomorrow, you'll go interview at Holloway Enterprises," she said. "In three days, I'll throw you a welcome-back party and invite all the old-money families in the Capital. You spent seven years in Cloudcrest City—find a way to get Dominic to assign you to the Cloudcrest branch."

Cynthia listened quietly, quickly grasping her sister's intentions.

She was amazed Juliet had come up with a plan so quickly.

"Sis, are you sure you're not drunk?"

Juliet gave a soft hum of affirmation.

After all these years, her mind had learned to stay sharp—even after a few drinks.

She reached out and ruffled Cynthia's hair, her voice unexpectedly gentle. "I'll make sure your welcome party is a grand affair. It's about time the Tremaines had some excitement again."

Cynthia nodded, accepting it all. "I'll do whatever you say."

Juliet tilted her head, leaning against her affectionately. "Pumpkin, I don't care what it takes—I'll make sure Tremaine Holdings stays in our hands."

Cynthia let out a half-mocking, half-playful sigh. "Grandpa left Tremaine Holdings to you, not me. You were always the heir he carefully raised. If I managed to run it into the ground, he'd probably climb out of his grave just to yell at me."

"I just want to be your right-hand woman. That's enough for me."

Juliet chuckled softly, not answering. But at the corner of her eye, a tear slipped down.

Cynthia kept her arms wrapped around Juliet, her voice low and sincere as she apologized. "I'm sorry, Sis. I promise I won't be so reckless anymore."

Juliet nodded lightly. "You really can't afford to be. If you disappear for another ten years, I might not be here to see you come back."

Cynthia quickly pressed her hand over Juliet's mouth. "Don't talk like that."

Juliet looked at her with a quiet peace, gently pulling Cynthia's hand away. "You've been on a plane all day—you smell awful. Go shower."
