Not long after she was beaten, Yvonne had undergone a kidney transplant.
As luck would have it, a matching kidney donor was found just in time to save her life.
Julius was frustrated because the doctor had repeatedly told Yvonne to rest and not work too hard. If she fell ill again, he would have to take time off to be with her.
Lately, Yvonne had become incredibly clingy. She would call him constantly, asking him to come over.
Julius was at his wit's end. He had to run the company during the day and then spend his evenings with Yvonne, who constantly brought up the topic of marriage.
It wasn't that he didn't want to get married, but he just hadn't made up his mind yet.
Sometimes, he felt that he didn't love Yvonne as much as he thought.
He hadn't wanted to come to the launch today.
He didn't know how to face Janina.
Having their two launches clash was a tactic by the DL Group to generate buzz and, at the same time, promote Yvonne's Nexora brand.
Janina's Meridian was destined to be a mere foil.
He knew he was wronging Janina, but he had promised Yvonne that if her kidney surgery was successful, he would help her secure her own brand, as well as handle the subsequent promotion and launch.
There couldn't be two tigers on one mountain. He had to choose Yvonne.
"Julius, Nexora is my passion project. You promised me you would see it on the international fashion week stage."
She looked up at him with her delicate, still somewhat pale face, her eyelashes fluttering.
Julius gave a slight nod. He didn't want to argue with her about it.
The success of Nexora wasn't solely up to him. He had paved the way for her; the rest was up to her.
As for Janina…
He figured that, for the sake of their two children, he would compensate her as much as he could with money.
After all, Yvonne needed public recognition more than Janina did.
Unexpectedly, after lunch, the three of them ran into each other in the main hall.
