Chapter 375 Do Not Disappoint Me
Christopher looked into her eyes and said without hesitation, “No.”
He paused, “But if you keep investigating, I can’t guarantee the safety of you and Rowan. Yuliana, ordinary people have little power to do anything, just like Terrence and you. Even if that thing is in your hand, what can you do? Give it to Caleb? But how can you believe that Caleb is not one of them? Or, even if he is not, will the higher-ups take action based on just a few photos and a video? People in their position have always thought about more than one aspect. Any decision they make affects a lot of things, and the relationship behind them is even more intertwined. But it’s easy for them to deal with you Yuliana, I know you want to seek justice for your father. You don’t want him to die for no reason, but have you ever thought about the consequences? What should Rowan do if something happens to you? What if something happens to Rowan? Will you be able to face it?”
Yuliana knew that Christopher was telling the truth, but she was still unwilling to accept it. Over the past year, she had always dreamed of Damian. She had dreamed that she lifted the white cloth and watched him lying there coldly.
Her heart was torn between her father and her son. “Should I let my father die in vain and be held responsible for all the crimes and scolding, while those people can enjoy fame, wealth, and power, and live a good life?” Even if Damian had done something wrong, he should not have been murdered while being held accountable for all the crimes.
In fact, Damian didn’t have to bear all the crimes.
After Damian died, she often wondered if Damian would not have died if she didn’t marry Harry back then, obeyed Damian’s arrangement, went abroad with Sabrina and Jacob, and lived in seclusion.
Christopher didn’t answer Yuliana’s question.
He and Yuliana knew the answer.
Christopher said, “Yuliana, your father doesn’t want you to do anything. He just wants you to live your own life.”
This time, when Yuliana heard Christopher say things like this for the second time, she was overwhelmed by countless emotions. She wanted to cry, but finally, she let out a chuckle.
“Heh!”
It was a sense of powerlessness, knowing that she was like an ant in front of those with absolute power and could only be at the mercy of others.
Then, her eyes fell on Christopher again as she looked at him coldly, “You asked me to think about Rowan. What about you? Have you ever thought about Rowan when you work for them? Have you ever thought about Ms. Solace?”
“Didn’t Rowan have you? As long as we don’t tell him I’m his father, it doesn’t matter to him.” Christopher smiled and said, “Besides, you know, I just got out of prison, so I have to settle down. I used to offend a lot of people because of my identity as a member of the Solace family. If I want to live as before, I have to find a strong backer. Yuliana, you should thank me. Otherwise, you won’t have a chance to stand here and talk to me, while Terrence won’t live either.”
Yuliana felt incredible listening to his words.
She could not believe that a person who used to be so arrogant and disdainful would be willing to become a lackey of others.
She thought, “Could a person change after a few years in prison?”
Then Yuliana thought of Christopher’s release from prison.
Although she knew very well that Christopher couldn’t have been the one who murdered Scarlett three years ago, all the evidence at that time pointed to Christopher. She wondered, “Why did new evidence suddenly appear a few months ago to confirm that Christopher was wronged and get the real killer årrested? Did Christopher exchange something with those people?”
Yuliana stared at Christopher with scrutiny for a while, then suddenly looked away. She looked at the garbage piled up like a hill in the distance, and asked, “Can you let Terrence live?”
“Yeah.”
“Okay” Yuliana’s eyes flashed with determination. She unlocked the buckle of her shoulder bag, took out the memory card from the purse, and handed it to Christopher. “This is what Terrence gave me.”
Christopher stood up straight and was about to reach out to take it when Yuliana suddenly clenched her fist and held the memory card in her palm.
“Christopher.”
He looked up at Yuliana.
“Since you want me to trust you, then I will trust you once. Don’t let me down.”
After saying that, she opened her palm again.
Christopher took the memory card from her palm and said, “I’ll take you home.”

Yuliana refused Christopher, walked straight past him, walked to the car, and opened the door to get in.
When she got home, Yuliana sat in her room all night.
She thought about a lot of things. She thought about whether Terrence could be released after the memory card was given to Christopher.
She wondered if Damian would blame her if he knew what she did.
She was also thinking about how to tell Sabrina.
After Damian’s death, his ashes were placed in the cemetery, but they were not buried. Sabrina had been waiting to clear Damian’s name and send the person who murdered Damian to jail.
She said that only when that day arrived could Damian be buried in the ground.
Yuliana sat in a daze until dawn. She remembered that she had to go to work today as it was Monday.
She had a headache, and her muscles were sore and weak.
For the first time, she didn’t want to go to work.
Yuliana called Craig and James respectively, telling them that she wanted to take the day off and would not go to the company. She also made arrangements for her work. Then, she climbed to bed, put on an eye mask, and fell asleep.
But before she could sleep long, the door was pushed open.
Rowan ran in with his slippers in his hand, climbed to the bed, held Yuliana like a bear, lifted Yuliana’s eye mask, and pressed his forehead against Yuliana’s forehead, saying in fear, “Mommy, are you sick?”
Hearing Rowan’s voice, Yuliana found it heartwarming. She reached out to hold Rowan and didn’t open her eyes, “I just have a headache. I will be fine after sleep.”
“I will sleep with you, okay?”
With that, Rowan got under Yuliana’s quilt.
Yuliana held Rowan in her arms and soon fell asleep.
Perhaps Yuliana had been overthinking, so she dreamed of Damian again.
In the dream, she was around five or six years old. Callie had been on a business trip for nearly half a month and hadn’t come home. Yuliana kept calling her on the phone, crying and asking her to come back, but Callie could always comfort her rationally.
At night, there was heavy rain and thunder.
She curled up in the corner with the quilt in her hand and kept crying. Looking at the night sky filled with lightning outside and listening to the thunder, she trembling with fear.
Damian seemed to have something to do that night and didn’t come home.
Only she and the housekeeper were at home.
However, the housekeeper lived on the first floor. There were storms, thunder, and lightning outside, and she couldn’t hear Yuliana crying at all.
Just as Yuliana was about to pass out from crying too much, the lights in the room suddenly lit up.
Damian walked into her room with his body cold and picked her up from the bed.
Not Disappoint Me
“Ana, don’t cry. I’m sorry that I came home late.”
