Chapter 242:
Julie's POV
I could see the sheer shock etched on Steve's face. He recoiled slightly, staring at me in total disbelief, his voice choked. "What?"
"He sold me for money," I said, trying to calm him down. "But don't worry... nothing happened to me."
Suddenly, with a violent motion I didn't see coming, Steve lunged forward and kicked the coffee table. It flipped over, objects shattering across the floor. "I'll kill him!" he roared, his face flushed with rage. He headed for the door with long, frantic strides. I stood my ground and screamed at the top of my lungs, "Max, stop him!"
Max tackled him from behind, gripping him with all his strength to hold him back. Steve writhed in his grasp, shouting hysterically, "Let me go! I'm going to kill him!"
I ran to him, standing right in front of his face. "You promised me, Steve! Calm down... nothing happened to me!"
"How could he sell you?" he barked, his eyes burning with fury. "How did this happen?"
