After everything settled, Sebastian and I went to meet Julian.
If I'm not mistaken, this should be our last meeting.
Even if he gets out of prison in the future, he likely won't have the chance to meet us again.
He had his hair shaved into a buzz cut, a stubbled chin, and even his posture was slightly hunched.
He was nothing like the ambitious young man I met when I was eighteen.
Through the glass window, Sebastian and I crushed the last bit of hope he had left.
When Julian learned that the investment he received years ago had been arranged by me with Victor's help, he completely broke down.
He slammed his hand against the glass, his bloodshot eyes widening to their limit.
Before he was taken away, I heard his roar:
"You think he'll love you? After all these years of us together, he's turned his back on me, what makes you think he'll love you?"
"What kind of woman doesn't he have? How could he possibly look at you? He's just playing around!"
Victor tried to cover my ears, but I refused. I stood there, calmly watching Julian's frantic state.
He was drifting further and further away from me, just like that painful memory was also fading. I won't forget him, nor will I forget that painful memory.
But so what?
I won the championship at the competition, increased my visibility in the industry, and now I've gained a bit of fame. The future is still long, and I won't stop here. When Julian's shadow has completely disappeared, I held Sebastian's hand.
"Let's go."
As for the person whose hand I was holding, whether he would ever stop loving me one day, there was no need to worry anymore.
When my confidence comes from myself, not from a man's fleeting love, I'll be invincible.
