Chapter 434 Just a Junior
Nicole also knew that Julia was currently in a terrible mood because of Richard. So, she reached out, threw her arm
around Julia’s shoulder, and comforted her by saying, “Julia, I brought you to the amusement park today so you
could enjoy yourself. This amusement park has just opened recently, and I heard that there will be a never-before-
seen acrobatic performance.”
Julia forced a smile and changed the topic casually. “By the way, where is Hayden? Why did you not bring him
along?”
“Hayden? He is busy playing with his computer at home. Besides, my main purpose this time is to take you out and
let you get some fresh air. So it does not matter if Hayden joins us or not.”
When Nicole saw Julia was no longer frowning, she eased up a little.
Afterward, they two headed inside. Yet, Julia suddenly stopped in her tracks, stood still, and stared straight ahead

Nicole found her behavior odd as she turned her head to look over and asked, “What’s the matter, Julia?”
Alas, she received no reply from Julia. Instead, Julia’s focus was fixated on that one spot, and her body became
tense at what she had seen.
Therefore, Nicole also looked in the direction that Julia was staring out of curiosity and noticed a couple standing
together while linking arms at the booth in front of them.
The man had a slight smile on his gentle face as he held some knick-knacks in front of the woman and said
something to her with a smile. This man was none other than Richard. As for the woman, Nicole had seen her in the
newspaper before. That is Christi Zuniga, the eldest daughter of the Zuniga Family!
“Nicole, a-am I seeing things?” Julia asked tremulously. At this moment, the two people in front of them were so
intimate, as if they were a couple who had been together for a long time. Julia could not find any flaws or signs of
them acting.
Julia didn’t know what was wrong with her, but she could feel her heart aching. She felt suffocated but couldn’t tear
her eyes away from the scene before her as she held Nicole tightly. It didn’t take long for tears to immediately
stream down her cheeks.
As Nicole watched Julia drowning in her sadness, she didn’t know how to begin comforting her.
Moments later, Julia wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and stormed forward. Nicole hurriedly
followed behind her, fearing that Julia would impulsively get entangled in a conflict with the people before her.
Julia directly strode toward Richard and stared straight at the man before her with teary eyes.
In the meantime, the smile on Christi’s face faded slightly after Julia’s arrival. She glanced at Julia and Nicole with
confusion and asked, “How may we help the two of you?”

Nevertheless, Julia paid no mind to Christi as she fixed her gaze on Richard. Finally, she gritted her teeth and spat,
“So, this is where you have been!”
Richard looked at Julia—a cocktail of emotions flashed across his face. Despite this, he immediately restrained
himself, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. Then, he pulled Christi closer and explained to her in a low
voice, “Christi, I would like you to meet my junior back in college, Julia Hull, and the genius doctor who cured Old Mr.
Benedict, Nicole Anderson.”
Not a single ounce of oddity could be traced when he introduced them both. Furthermore, the gentle expression he

introduced them.
“This is my fiancée, Christi Zuniga.”
When Julia heard Richard introduce Christi as his fiancée, her eyes instantly reddened with anger. In a fit of rage,
she nearly charged forward and hit Christi. Fortunately, Nicole managed to lock her down firmly by the side.
Then, Nicole pulled Julia to stand behind her and smiled at the two in front of him. “What a coincidence to bump
into you today, Richard. I did not expect to see you here. But, there are still things that we need to do, so we will get
going first.”
As soon as those words left her lips, she immediately dragged Julia and left.
Before the two walked far, they heard Christi’s voice. There was a tinge of doubt in her voice as she asked,
“Richard, do you not think that lady who approached us just now was acting a little weird?”
Richard merely replied, “She had a crush on me during our college days, but I rejected her. Plus, there is nothing
major between us now. I will avoid her in the future.”
“Oh, so that is what it is.”
Julia almost blew up when she heard what Richard had said. If Nicole had not grabbed her, she would have stepped
forward and slapped Richard.
“Julia, Christi is the only daughter of the Zuniga Family in Durobrivae. Therefore, you cannot afford to offend her,”
Nicole said in a low voice as she stood beside Julia.
