28 Chapter 28: Uncle Stands Up for Her
On the day Noal Quarter was to return, Julla Land also returned to Jade Gardens.
In the living room, everyone was there.
Arabella Shaw sat in her wheelchair, visibly uneasy.
Grandma Quarter looked rather unwell.
Arabella had no idea how things would turn out afterwards.
Leah Thompson picked up her teacup and took a few sips nonchalantly.
Eliza Quarter wanted to speak up, but she was quelled by a glower from Leah Thompson.
Noah Quarter rubbed his temples; he truly had not expected Arabella Shaw to be pregnant.
“Grandma.
“What are you going to do about this matter?”
Grandma Quarter looked calmly at Noah Quarter, “This time, it’s up to you to decide. I won’t
interfere!
“After all, I won’t be watching over you for much longer.”
Arabella’s face turned pale, her eyes red as she looked at Noah Quarter without saying a word, biting her lip.
Julia Land was quite calm inside, considering she had already divorced Noah Quarter.
She hoped that from now on, she would have no further entanglements with Noah Quarter or
Arabella Shaw.
Noah Quarter glanced at Julia Land and then at a visibly uneasy Arabella.
He stood up and said softly to Grandma Quarter, “Grandma, I will marry Arabella:
He couldn’t fail Arabella again.
After Noah Quarter spoke those words, he looked at Julia Land and saw her calm demeanor, which filled him with a touch of displeasure.
Arabella suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with tears of joy as she looked at Noah Quarter.
Grandma Quarter, feeling weary, waved her hand, “Do as you will. I’m old; I can’t manage you all.”
She turned to Julia Land, “Little Julia, I, the old woman, have wronged you.”
Julia Land smiled. She was grateful.
Had it not been for Grandma Quarter’s fondness for her, Noah Quarter would not have chosen to marry her. It was his dowry that allowed her to save Little Violet.
The root of all the problems was just that she loved him, and he didn’t love her. It was best to let each other go.

Land holds?”
She’s no longer a Quarter Family daughter–in–law; how can she still own shares in the Quarter Family business?
“I will return the Quarter Family shares to the Quarter Family” declared Julia Land indifferently. Just then, Alexander Strong walked in with a man.
Julia Land was taken aback upon seeing James Thompson following Alexander Strong.
How… how did he come here?
Julia suddenly remembered what he said the night before.
He said he’d come to back her up.
At the time, she thought he was just joking.
James Thompson admired Julia’s stunned expression, his lips curving slightly upwards.
When Leah Thompson saw James Thompson, she stood up in shock, exclaiming, “You… Why have you come?”
Why had this formidable person come?
James Thompson looked at her indifferently, “Came to see the Grandmother.”
Alexander Strong, “?”
Didn’t Mr. Thompson say he was coming to see Julia Land?
Leah Thompson, “?”
Since when was James Thompson so familiar with the Quarter Family? She had no idea.
With his unexpected presence, Leah Thompson had a bad feeling.
Maybe she was worrying too much.
Noah Quarter also stood up, respectfully greeting, “Uncle.”
Alexander Strong’s feeling grew even stranger. Wasn’t Mr. Thompson Julia Land’s uncle?
With a meaningful glance at Alexander Strong, James Thompson approached Grandma Quarter, “Grandmother, hello, I’m James Thompson.”
Grandma Quarter faced the distinguished man before her with trepidation.
From the Thompson Family in Capital City, she had only met the mother–in–law, Leah
Thompson’s mother Mrs. Thompson the Second.
She had never met this eminent eldest son of the Thompson Family.
She had, however, heard some things about him.
“Hello, thank you for coming to visit me, Mr. Thompson. Please, have a seat, said Grandma Quarter with a smile.
Whether intentionally or not, James Thompson took a seat next to Julia Land.

From Leah Thompson’s respectful yet fearful manner towards James Thompson, and Grandma Quarter’s demeanor towards him,
For the first time, Julia Land felt
that she might not have really understood James Thompson all along.
She hung her head, deep in thought.
It seemed she had provoked a man who was not to be trifled with.
The butler served tea to the distinguished guest.
The atmosphere in the living room was very quiet, yet suffocating.
“Everyone, please sit down.”
“I think I just heard something about shares?” James Thompson said indifferently, “Am I visiting at an inopportune time?”
Unable to ascertain James’s true purpose for the
Grandma Quarter didn’t beat around the bush, “They were discussing the matter of the shares I’m giving to my daughter–in–law.”
With the topic mentioned, those who understood naturally wouldn’t inquire further about another family’s affairs.
But James was there to back Julia Land today, so naturally, he would inquire.
From the time Noah had saved Julia from Wesley Turner, C
He didn’t just want to destroy Wesley Turner,
He also wanted to teach Noah a lesson.
However, James had considered Julia’s feelings for Noah at the time and didn’t take action.
James turned his head to look at Julia, the corners of his mouth curling into an indulgent smile, “Little Julia, your uncle is here, why don’t you greet me?”
This indulgent sentence
Made Grandma Quarter and the others turn towards Julia in shock.
Julia stiffened, what exactly did he intend to do?
James’s smugness surfaced as, unseen, his dress shoe nudged Julia’s, “Little Julia, don’t be afraid. If the Quarter family dares to bully you, your uncle will teach them a lesson.”
Julia lifted her head, discreetly moved her foot away and tried to smile at James, “Thank you,
uncle.
Leah Thompson asked obsequiously, “Mr. Thompson, do you know Little Julia?”
Although she was the stepdaughter whom Mrs. Thompson had brought into the family, she could only address this Mr. Thompson, not as brother.
James smiled, “Of course, we know each other well.
He was the costly guard dog she intended to keep with an annual salary of a million, very

well–acquainted indeed.
Julia shuffled her foot back, nudging him to remind him not to talk nonsense.
Leah looked at Julia, surprised yet pleased, “Little Julia, why didn’t you tell any of us?”
If she had known carlier that Julia was well–acquainted with James, she would have slapped Arabella Shaw far away.
Julia could only respond with a faint smile.
James, worried he had upset Julia,
Explained to Grandma Quarter, “Little Julia once saved my life.”
James thought that in the future he was sure to be a slave to his wife.
Grandma Quarter nodded; it turned out Little Julia had saved James.
Now, only Arabella was anxious and unsettled in her heart,
Would this man help Julia stay in the Quarter family?
Julia turned to Noah, “Let’s settle everything today, contact the lawyer, and I will return the Quarter family shares back to the Quarter family.”
She originally wanted to mention the divorce certificate she had already received and the six–month contract deal she had signed, but seeing Grandma Quarter’s aged face, Julia chose not to bring it up on the spot.
Leah somewhat regretted raising the issue of the shares too soon.
She looked at James, unsure whether he would speak up for Julia.
James didn’t speak up to stop it; not wanting the Quarter family shares was fine.
But what was owed still had to be given.
Noah contacted the lawyer, and while waiting for the lawyer, James openly fed Julia an apple.
“Little Julia, what happened to your hand?”
“…a fracture.”
Julia bravely ate the apple that was fed to her lips.
Noah was sitting on the sofa opposite Julia, watching her eat the fruit James fed her, his brows slightly furrowed.
“Julia, let’s go upstairs to talk.”
Julia glanced at Noah, she also wanted to talk to him, “Okay”
As Julia went upstairs, James turned his head to Grandma Quarter with a light smile, “Does the Quarter family intend to leave Little Julia with nothing after the divorce?”
Grandma Quarter had a flash of realization in her heart; so this man was here to support Little Julia.

for Little Julia”
“No way!” Eliza Quarter’s complexion turned ugly. “When she married my brother, he already
gave her a hundred million as a bridal gift”
“Shut up!” Grandma Quarter glared angrily at her own granddaughter, disappointed.
With James blatantly standing behind Julia, she still failed to read the room.
James sneered, glancing casually at Eliza, “A hundred million for a bridal gift, is it?”
“Is a hundred million a lot?”
“My Little Julia is invaluable. It’s only you who like to flaunt the hundred million bridal gift.” *Heh, pathetic. Is the Quarter family planning to go bankrupt? Do you need me to be the good guy and help you through it?“
