Chapter 50 His Hand
And it turned out that her efforts truly paid off. Shortly after Julia had taken some of the dishes, Mr. Adam's son suddenly approached. He stood beside Julia and glanced at her with a curious gaze.
"Why are you alone, Madam? Where's your husband? It seems Mr. Alexander is so incredibly busy that he didn't have time to attend this event. Father was really looking forward to meeting and speaking with Mr. Alexander and discussing some things that might be beneficial. He had even prepared a special proposal for Lord Alexander so that they could work together after this."
"My husband is also very curious and longs to meet with Lord Alexander in person, young sir. However, what can I do? There are some very serious matters that must be handled and cannot be replaced by anyone but himself. Therefore, he had no choice but to leave this afternoon. Because he respects you and Mr. Adam so much, that's why he asked me to come here in his place and give you and Mr. Adam some eye injuries." Julia immediately signaled to someone she had been waiting for, then handed the package to the young master. Naturally, Master Adam's daughter was overjoyed. She immediately took the package and looked at it, feeling utterly amazed.
"What is this? This is a gift my father has long desired. Even he couldn't afford it. I believe Lord Alexander is a truly exceptional businessman, proving his ability to acquire something this valuable. Just a moment, Madam. I'll invite my father over."
Not long after, the young master hurried away, taking with him someone who had become the center of attention at the time. Many businessmen wanted to speak with him, but none of them had the opportunity to speak directly. And of course, this was one of the things that really ended it all, especially when the man suddenly appeared in front of Julia. The man was wearing a black coat with a very thick mustache, wearing black gloves as well, and carrying a cane. Julia looked at the man very carefully, even every inch of him she examined very well. Luckily, the woman used contact lenses to take pictures of some parts that could be done because after all, this man's presence could be used as very vital evidence to determine whether this man was really a suspect or not, because of course, this was one of the very serious matters. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Adam. It's a great honor to meet you at this event. I'd like to apologize for my husband's inability to attend due to a truly urgent matter, and I'm also sorry he really wanted to meet you. However, I've given you what my husband entrusted to me; I hope you enjoy it."
“The dragon stone diamond is a gift that can never be valued by anything, Madam. And even reportedly this object was once lost because it was fought over by several businessmen or even a very famous kingdom. It is said that this very expensive and valuable jewelry was even traded illegally and then lost to one of the most terrible mafias in this world. Suddenly I received a gift that I have always dreamed of and even I thought if it was impossible for me to get it is something I will never be able to express in words. This is something so extraordinary and I feel very grateful to have received it. Even serving Lord Alexander forever seems to never be able to repay all this kindness. And I also do not think is this fate? He knows so well what I want.
Julia smiled sarcastically, not by chance at all. However, her husband had known from the start what Mr. Adam liked and what Jogja was so desperately desired by the man named Mr. Adam. And now, as she stared at Mr. Adam's fingers, she was truly curious about what was there. Finally, she decided to pretend to spill what was in her classroom onto Mr. Adam's gloves.
"Oh my God, I didn't mean to. I'm so sorry, Mr. Adam. What should I do? I need to get a handkerchief to clean your gloves."
Even when Julia wanted to help Mr. Adam pick up the gloves, Mr. Adam immediately withdrew his hand. It was such an odd action, and it made Julia even more incredibly curious. Finally, something extraordinary happened: Mr. Adam chose to go to the bathroom and clean everything up. However, Julia immediately ordered one of her men, disguised as a servant, to come into the bathroom and see what was happening. Naturally, some footage had been taken, showing Mr. Adam removing his gloves and washing his hands so hurriedly. Everything was captured so clearly, providing evidence that Mr. Adam was one of the people Kay had been referring to.
“Young Master, I apologize again. I had no intention of doing anything. I'm just easily nervous. I've never met so many people, let alone such great people like you and your father.”
Mr. Adam's son smiled, then shook his head perfectly, as if to signal that everything was fine.
“You don't need to worry so much, Madam. Trust me, if it's all okay, I can wash my hands. Besides, it's just gloves, and I have so many gloves.”
“Does Mr. Adam not really like cold weather?” Julia asked, obviously not wanting to do something like this, not wanting to be made too clear about everything.
"You could say that. Actually, my father has a skin condition. Vetiligo, you know that, right? And because he feels embarrassed and the treatment process is not easy at all, that's why he always wears gloves."
"I know and have heard of this too. It's a very annoying immune-attacking disease. It's especially noticeable in people with brown skin."
The servant, who had been on Julia's orders, seemed to signal that he had successfully obtained a recording that could be considered evidence, and then Julia nodded slowly while still speaking to her son, Mr. Adam. Underestimating an elite police officer like Julia was a big mistake.
