Stop Panicking! Miss Jacobs will Not Look Back!-Chapter 291: She Will Settle the Blood Debt with the Paxton Family

Chapter 291: Chapter 291: She Will Settle the Blood Debt with the Paxton Family

In just a second, Juliana’s long eyelashes slowly drooped, covering the surging thoughts in her eyes.

She took a sip of chrysanthemum tea.

Setting down the teacup again, her gaze only revealed restraint.

"Oh, so that’s how it is, then you can’t help me much."

Eager to disclaim any association, Sean Paxton didn’t enthusiastically inquire about the matter.

At this moment, Juliana’s phone rang.

It was Elias Langley calling.

"Who are you with?" he asked over the phone.

"With Mr. Paxton." Juliana’s tone was as usual.

"Give him the phone."

Juliana handed the phone to Sean Paxton.

Sean Paxton’s face lost its familiar smile, "Elias, how have you been lately... What? Hospitalized? Oh dear! Look at what I’ve done, I truly didn’t know you were hospitalized. If I knew, I would have visited you right away... Okay, okay, right."

After the call ended, Sean Paxton returned the phone to Juliana, his smile broadening.

"This Elias, looks steady, but it turns out he can’t be without people even for a bit."

Juliana stood up as if naturally, "The adhesive quality between husband and wife, doesn’t Mr. Paxton miss Mrs. Paxton after being apart?"

Sean Paxton froze for a moment, saw her about to leave, standing up himself, his tone carrying a lengthened teasing.

"Women like President Jacobs, career-oriented, are rarely seen under their husband’s thumb."

Juliana returned a faint smile in response to his words.

"A career-oriented woman doesn’t mean ignoring her husband, ignoring her family. I apologize for today, lately there have been a lot of things on my mind, I didn’t satisfy Mr. Paxton, but I always believe whoever can solve my troubles is my ideal collaborator. Mr. Paxton is a smart man and surely will understand this sentiment."

After speaking, she left gracefully with Raine Kane.

Sean Paxton stood there, watching her departing back, his smile gradually fading, a flicker of ignored irritation and calculation in his eyes.

Juliana got in the car, her tense body finally relaxing.

Her hands clenched into fists, her eyes full of anger.

Florence Sinclair’s associate was Sean Paxton.

She remembered during the time of Summer Shaw’s accident, Isabelle Sinclair and Florence Sinclair went to Kenton successively.

Moreover, the evidence Evan Grant gave pointed directly to the Langley Family, Isabelle Sinclair didn’t have that capability, but Florence Sinclair, who later moved into the Langley Family, did.

Florence Sinclair’s outside help was Sean Paxton, then naturally the assassin was sent by Sean Paxton.

Great, really great!

Fourteen years ago tried to kill her once.

Fourteen years later, again wants her dead, also harmed her best friend.

Looks like the blood debt with the Paxton Family must be settled.

But to target Sean Paxton, it means having to eradicate Dylan Paxton backing him.

This tree, which even Elias Langley can only maintain surface peace with and can’t easily break ties, how can she uproot it?

Juliana was lost in thought, Raine Kane noticing her off state, asked: "Juliana, is there a problem with Sean Paxton?"

Juliana came to her senses, paused for two seconds and asked: "How’s the relationship between Sean Paxton and Elias Langley?"

Considering Raine Kane might not have spent much time with Elias Langley previously, she added, "Do you know?"

Raine Kane cautiously considered, her expression showing the unique seriousness and conflict of a novice.

"Well... to say they have a bad relationship, every time they meet, they call each other brothers and seem particularly friendly. But to say they really have a good relationship... every time Mr. Paxton asks for something, Mr. Langley almost never publicly refutes him. Yet oddly, when it comes to actually carrying things out, there are always minor troubles that make things not go so smoothly for Mr. Paxton."

She paused.

"So, I can’t figure out whether it’s good or bad."

Juliana fell silent at her words.

After changing clothes back home, Juliana finally arrived at the hospital.

Elias Langley was still awake, leaning over the hospital bed reading papers.

Juliana took off her jacket, walked to the side of the accompanying bed, and asked: "Until what time do you plan to read?"

Elias Langley didn’t lift his head, "You drank tea, can you sleep early?"

Juliana caught a whiff of jealousy, raised her eyebrows, "Isn’t your private relationship good?"

Elias Langley was still focused on the papers, "We are all in the same circle, inevitably there are interactions, just keeping appearances is enough."

Juliana laughed, "He goes around declaring a deep brotherly bond with you, if he knew your aloof response, wouldn’t he feel disheartened?"

Upon hearing this, Elias Langley raised his eyes to look at her for two seconds.

She wants to deal with Sean Paxton?

But now, with no wings yet spread, how could she be a match for the Paxton Family?

The man dropped his gaze back to the papers, the light casting faint shadows in his deep-set eyes, his tone calm without revealing any emotion.

"Sean Paxton can be considered exceptional among this generation in the Paxton Family, highly valued by Dylan Paxton. With the old classmates’ relationship there, maintaining basic friendliness, future actions will always have more convenience. This isn’t a personal connection, it’s the rules."

Juliana watching him, ripples stirred within her heart.

All these years he spared no expense searching for the Sinclair Family’s cherished pearl; she thought it was stubbornness stemming from old affection, yet it was for what was in her possession.

She thought his defiance of the Paxton Family was due to his upright stance, yet it was for the profitable venture.

Juliana suddenly felt she maybe never truly understood this man, whose brow held a bit of fatigue yet remained unfathomable.

Elias Langley noticing her sudden silence looked at her again, asking: "What’s wrong with you?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Juliana lowered her eyes, pulled the thin blanket, concealing the fleeting coldness in her gaze.

"Nothing, just tired, I’m sleeping. Don’t stay up late."

After speaking, she lay down.

Not only that, but she also turned her back to him.

Elias Langley keenly sensed that perhaps, in her heart, she pushed him away once more.

He wanted to say something, but ultimately only sighed silently, saying: "Juliana, before doing anything, discuss it with me, let me...have a mental preparation."

Juliana just responded with a low "hm" and closed her eyes.

Even if no one stands beside her, she still plans to settle the blood debt with the Payne Family!

A few days later, Elias Langley’s back wound scabbed, reaching discharge standards.

Juliana was accompanying him for pre-discharge medical checks when Zachary York walked briskly over, face carrying a hint of gravity.

"Mr. Langley, bad news..."

After saying this, he glanced at Juliana, halting his words.

Seeing this, Juliana withdrew her hand from adjusting his shirt buttons, intending to turn away.

Elias Langley however, grabbed her hand firmly, saying to Zachary York, "Speak."

Zachary York took a deep breath, steadied his breath, then said: "Isabelle Sinclair committed suicide in prison, confirmed dead."

Elias Langley frowned, immediately asking: "She was in a specially approved single room in there, with someone watching over her daily activities, not to mention sharp objects, even a hard toothbrush couldn’t be smuggled in. In such an environment... How did she commit suicide?"

Juliana’s eyelashes trembled, secretly withdrew her hand placed on his chest.
