Chapter 34
After Julia recovered from the cold, she went to work. With her expertise, no one would question her even if she just sat the for inquiry.
Today, after a patient left, Julia’s phone rang. Seeing it was from her mother, Julia picked it up quickly. “Mom, is everything okay?” Julia knew Catalina would not call her at work even if she missed Julia very much. So Julia gave Catalina a video call every other day, catching her up with her daily life.
Julia, some people came and asked to see you. Will you come back and take a look?” said Catalina on the phone. She sounded gentle but somewhat hesitant
Julia was confused for a moment. But she quickly figured out what Catalina meant. She walked out of her office and told Catalina, “Okay, Mom. I’ll be right back. Before returning to the Lopez family’s mansion, Julia returned to the apartment co change her clothes and called Byron to cover for her at work
“Julia, you can rest assured to go back. I’ll cover you,” said Byron. He sounded energetic on the phone. He would be a reliable man if he were a few years older.
Julia smiled and thanked him. Then she took a cab home.
The Lopez family’s mansion was located in the wealthy district of South Hill, and the facade of the mansion was elegant and artistic, thanks to Catalina’s aesthetic judgment on arts.
When the servants of the Lopez family welcomed them in, Rashad and Eliza looked incredulous. On the contrary, the young man and woman behind them blushed, and a faint excitement spread on their faces. It turned out that Julia’s biological parents lived in such a luxurious place
It wasn’t until they sat on the sofa in the living room and faced Sergio and Catalina, who were drinking coffee elegantly across from them, that Rashad and Eliza realized this was really happening.
The child they adopted randomly from the orphanage more than twenty years ago seemed to be from a noble and rich family. Suppressing his ecstasy, Rashad was about to say something when the servant outside suddenly walked up with a smile and said. “Ms. Julia is back.”
As she walked into the hall. Julia smiled at Catalina and Sergio, who stood up and greeted her. She looked close to them. But when her gaze fell on the Valentines on the sofa, the smile on her face faded.
“Julia, you have finally come back. I haven’t seen you for so long, and I miss you so much,” said Tia. Tia and Willy were twins. They were two years younger than Julia.
Tia had always claimed to be the Princess of the Valentine family since they were young. And she never treated Julia with manners. But now she held Julia arm–in–arm and talked to her so kindly, Julia’s face was overcast with confusion. Tia had never done this before.
Tia’s hand unconsciously rubbed Julia’s exquisite and gorgeous coat twice. The Lopez family was much wealthier than the Valentine family. The coat on Julia looked low–key and elegant, but one could tell at a touch that the material was excellent. Only a few brands could afford these fabrics. Not to mention Julia looked much more elegant and noble than before. Tia had an inexplicable sense of inferiority when Julia glanced at her.
How good would it be if she were Julia, the eldest daughter of the Lopez family?
Tia tried hard not to look jealous of Julia, only to see Julia break free from her hand.
“What are you doing here?” Julia asked emotionlessly.
Just now. Tia talked about her relationship with Julia in front of Sergio and Catalina, and now Julia’s indifference seemed to slap her in the face.
“Julia, you are not still mad at me, are you?” Tia asked, looking aggrieved as if she had been bullied. She reached out, wanting

to hold onto Julia’s hand again. Outsiders might think that she and Julia were close and Julia was being mean to her
Julia once again pushed Tia’s hand away. “What are you here for! If you don’t tell me, I’ll have to show you the door.”
Seeing Julia’s attitude, Sergio and Catalina exchanged glances and remained silent while drinking tea, as if Julia was in charge of the family.
“Julia, why are you so mean to Tia? At least we lived together for 23 years. Do you think of us as your family or not?” Rashad could not help yelling at Julia. He could not bear the way Julia treated Tia. Also, he had been yelling at Julia for many years.
Eliza could not help but hold him back. She said to Julia, “Julia, don’t be offended. We don’t want you to lose your manners and upset your parents.”
Julia’s last name was Lopez now. Her parents were Sergio and Catalina. Unfortunately, neither of them had the idea of letting others teach their daughter a lesson. Catalina gently said, “Julia is the lost and regained treasure of the Lopez family, and this is her home. No one can say no to anything she wants to do!
Hearing what Catalina said, Rashad and Eliza were embarrassed. They didn’t dare to speak sarcastically to Julia.
“When Julia was with us, we also treated her as our daughter. Over the years, our family has been treating her well, which is evident to everyone,” said Eliza, looking kindly at Julia She said. “Isn’t it, Julia? Tell Mr. and Mrs. Lopez you have lived a good life in the Valentine family”
Julia let out a sneer secretly. Her eyes turned cold as she looked at her foster parents, who had never been so loving to her before. She said expressionlessly, “Indeed. I haven’t starved to death. And I have grown up. It is a good life if that’s what you
Intan.
The so–called good life was she could only wear Tia’s old clothes, despite Tia being two years younger. And Tia and Willy could cat whatever they wanted while she had to cat leftovers. Besides, she was not allowed to eat at the table
The Valentine family had a small company. So, it was not like they could not afford to raise her. They just did not care about her. Treated her as their daughter? Nonsense.
Over the years, she gave all her salary and scholarships to the Valentine family. After she saved Rylie and married Joseph, they even went to the Mullins family to ask for money several times.
They had taken everything from her.
Now, the Valentine family was standing in front of her parents and claiming to have given her a good life. How ironic was that? Rashad and Eliza looked awkward. They did not dare to say m more in front of Sergio and Catalina. What if Julia gave the lie to their words? Their efforts would be wasted then
