Facade Love: Marrying A Perfect Husband

The guards then dispersed and divided themselves into several groups. Keeping a distance then sitting slightly apart from their master. Cleo knew this was must be Robert's instruction.

The head guard and a person who had more control over orders than she did.

Cleo was busy looking for a figure she knew and wanted to meet. The woman was sitting not far from her. Wearing comfortable clothes in the form of a long-sleeved maroon shirt and a black inner t-shirt, plus pale blue jeans.

The big-eyed woman greeted Cleo. Raised her hands when she saw Cleo approaching. Cleo commented with a smile. She had always liked Julia's style of clothing. Although sometimes it was just simple and never flashy.

Julia could always look cute in whatever fashion style she used.

Those big eyes looked around.

"Are you having a hard time getting out to just meet me?"

Cleo took a seat right in front of Julia. After signaling her guards to keep their distance and didn't try to attract attention.

Cleo asked one of the waiters to deliver drinks. She gave a faint wry smile.

"As you last could be observed, Harry is a unique person. He can do whatever he wants and make it difficult for others."

Julia put on a serious face.

"Alright. I already knew that his family is now in serious trouble."

Cleo wasn't surprised to find out that Julia was aware of Harry's family matter due to entire the news has spread.

"I'm sure he can handle it. So you don't have to be burdened. But there's something more important I want to talk to you about."

Cleo attended to Julia's expression change carefully before rephrasing her question.

"May I know who is the little girl in the photo in your home?"

Julia frowned.

"You came to see me just to ask this?"

Cleo nodded.

"I know this sounds weird. But I want to make sure before asking any further."

Julia was very calm even though she was curious.

"Are your asked referring to the photo that I put on the small table in the living room?"

Cleo nodded again.

"When I helped you that day. I accidentally saw and noticed it. Then, is that your childhood photo?"

Julia nodded.

"Yes. It's a photo my adoptive father took when I was little."

Julia showed restlessness in a small measure.

Cleo took out her phone. Showed Jenny's childhood photo and asked Julia to pay close attention to it.

In the photo, there was a about 6 or 7 years old little girl. Wearing a pastel blue dress. And was carrying a doll beside her hand. The photo was taken without any alertness because that girl was looking sideways at the camera when she was being shot.

Julia couldn't help it, feeling a kind of tension welling up in her mind and heart.

"What does this mean? Why does the girl in this photo look so much like me?"

Cleo also wanted to know in more detail.

"You noticed that too? You guys look alike and may even be one person."

The photo on display in Julia's home was probably taken when she was 8 or 9 years old. It was about a year or so after the incident of Jenny disappeared. So if somebody managed to match the time, many things became clear.

"I got it from Harry. I asked his secretary, Dirga, to send it to me. And do you want to know who the little girl in this photo is?"

Julia didn't want to guess. But one thing she accidentally thought without intending to make up a story.

"This girl is Jenny. Harry's missing cousin. And the girl who is rumored to have not returned since 17 years ago."

Cleo stared at Julia's eyes without blinking.

"Therefore, can you explain how your childhood has been so far?"

Julia showed her doubts. She was too shocked even though she had heard the news about a little girl named Jenny who disappeared and caused a commotion among Theodore's family.

Julia still felt a need to doubt Cleo's presumptions.

"I know we look similar, Cleo. But, if you want to entangle me with this little girl…"

Julia had a hard time making a choice. Her heart and mind were currently raging. Memories of her past slowly appeared unintentionally.

"I don't know who my real parents are. But if I were Jenny…"

Uncertainty and a strange feeling ran through Julia's body. She didn't even realize a waiter had brought them two drinks.

Julia lowered her head and began to think hard. When the piercing gaze Cleo did not stop cornering her.

"Same as you said early. About you didn't know who your real parents are. Doesn't that mean there's a possibility that you are Jenny? The little girl they are looking for and we just need to confirm?"

Julia then began her life story.

On the other place.

Muliawan, who seemed annoyed to all the lost plans that he had devised as carefully and as accurately as possible, vented his disillusionment in anger. He cursed his incompetent subordinates and asked him to be held accountable.

When he had received the report that Cloud Tv was being flooded with many incoming calls asking for clarification on Harry's accusations. Asked them to immediately state along with evidence.

Some of the callers even cursed and ridiculed them. That people didn't stop being annoyed because they were so brave to lie many stories to the public and make up the stories out of the real context.

A confidant man suddenly made a suggestion.

"We better close this issue with another bigger issue."

Muliawan's interest spread. He seemed interested and he wanted to hear that whole scheme perfectly. The subordinate stated his thoughts.

"Don't we still have one ace that we can use to embarrass Theodore's family, especially Harry Miles?"

Magically, their minds seemed to be connected. Muliawan knew what his men were thinking and he didn't think it was a bad idea.

Muliawan sat back on his chair.

"Do whatever you think! And give me good news afterward!"

Muliawan's eyes darkened, even it was being more when he was filled by evil hopes. He stared blankly ahead and spoke to himself.

"Don't blame me if I do it this far!"

He then closed his eyes and tried to relax. Not interested in knowing how bad and messy the tv station company he had built a few years ago was. Muliawan did not seem to feel sorry for him if he had to close the TV station to pay for several losses and lawsuits.

Harry showed anxiety he couldn't share with anyone else. He had suddenly felt strange and uncomfortable ever since he came out of the press conference hall. He suddenly thought of Cleo and wanted to meet her.

But when he got news from Robert that they were accompanying Cleo to meet someone, Harry's tired eyes narrowed.

"He went out of the residence and you guys let her?"

Robert couldn't dodge.

"Young Madam forced us, sir. And she conveys that her purpose has to do excited with your problem."
