(Livia)
I didn't respond to Julian's threat. There was no point arguing while he was driving, especially when he was already furious. I watched the houses passing outside my window and thought about the twenty million dollars. My parents had received all that money, yet I was the one being punished.
We reached the mansion twenty minutes later. Julian parked near the entrance and got out without waiting for me. I followed him inside, where Mrs. Harris was arranging flowers on a table. She greeted us, but Julian walked past her without answering.
"Livia, come here."
I stopped near the staircase and turned around. Julian stood beside the entrance to his study, waiting for me. Mrs. Harris looked between us before returning to her work. I could tell she was listening.
"What do you want?"
