Chapter 370
Trapped in Love
Chapter 370 Letâs Go and Save Mommy Yuliana pouted her fiery red lips and approached to hook her arm with Neilâs. She then said.
coquettishly, âYeah, I came back yesterday. Neil. Iâve been calling your name for a while, but you didnât hear me. Which pretty girl caught your eye?â
Neil chuckled. âStop that. I wasnât looking at anyone.â
Yuliana did not believe him and looked around. When she saw Daniella, deep disdain rose in her eyes.
âNeil, does Daniella look like Aunt Lyra? I donât think so!â
Neil smiled. âTheyâre not bound by blood at all. Of course, they donât look alike.â
Daniella turned abruptly when she felt Neilâs gaze and was taken aback to see Yuliana. Soon, she recalled that Yuliana was Graysonâs biological granddaughter. With a smile on her face, she adjusted her handbag and walked toward Yuliana However, Yuliana scoffed as Daniella approached and spoke sarcastically when they came face to face. âWearing a luxurious gown doesnât make you a noble young lady.â
Daniella responded with a sweet smile. âYulia, you must be joking. Iâm just glad Iâm not embarrassing Grandpa.â
While chatting, she retrieved a delicate box from ber bag and handed it to Yuliana. âYulia, itâs a small gesture. We had a bit of a misunderstanding before. I hope we can put that behind us. After all, weâre cousins.â
Yuliana glanced at the box indifferently and accepted it. Upon opening it, she found a diamond bracelet.
Puzzled, she wondered, Why is she giving me a diamond bracelet? Itâs a new design from MK and costs 25,000 dollars.â
Yuliana then looked up and scrutinized Daniella. âIs she trying to win me over?â
Yuliana said tentatively. âThank you. But I have nothing for you. I hope you donât mind.â
âItâs fine. Youâre my cousin, and I should give you a gift after your return from abroad,â Daniella explained warmly.
Yuliana reluctantly accepted the gift. She had long known that Grayson had spoiled Daniella during her time abroad.
Yuliana couldnât afford to embarrass Daniella in front of everyone, especially since Grayson. remained the head of the Xander family. If she angered Grayson, it would be detrimental to her fatherâs position in the company.
Yuliana decided it was wise to maintain a friendly relationship with Daniella, as she might need her help to mend her fatherâs relationship with Grayson. âAlright, thank you for your thoughtful gift.â
Thoughtful gift?â Daniella thought with a hint of sarcasm. She had spent nearly 27,000 dollars on that gift, but Yuliana had labeled it as thoughtful However, she endured it in silence to maintain favor with the Xanders.
As for Neil, she believed he needed to respect her since all the Xanders supported her.
Unfortunately, as soon as he exposed her true identity, she would lose her position in the Xander family.
Neil checked the time on his wristwatch. It was almost time to start presenting gifts to Grayson, but Caroline was nowhere to be found While contemplating this, Neilâs phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket. He retrieved it and saw. that Axel was calling. A sense of foreboding washed over him. He answered the call and moved toward the door. âAxel?â
âIâm Tyler, not Axel!â Tylerâs voice was cold Uncle Neil, where are you?â
Neil frowned, sensing something amiss in Tylerâs tone. âWhatâs wrong. Ty?â
âMaster Jordanâs bodyguards have taken Mommy away. Theyâre hurting her. Uncle Neil, you have to go and rescue her!â
Neilâs grip on the phone tightened, and he swiftly headed to his car. âTell me everything. Iâll rush there now.â
Tyler explained urgently, âMaster Jordan suspects that Mommy and that despicable father of mine intentionally started the rumor to slander him and Casey.â
