Chapter 11 - Julian Tries To Force A Quick Secret Courthouse Marriage
Julian intercepted Audrey as she stepped out of her penthouse elevator into the underground parking garage. He stepped directly into the path of her car, forcing her to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting him.
Audrey rolled down her driver's side window, her eyes flashing with pure rage. "Are you out of your mind?! Move out of the way before I run you over!" Julian ignored her anger, walking right up to the window frame.
"We need to talk, Audrey," Julian insisted, his voice frantic and desperate. "My mother filed that lawsuit, but I can make her drop it today." Audrey stared at him as if he had lost his mind completely.
"You think after everything you and your mother have done, I would ever marry you?!" Audrey scoffed bitterly. Julian leaned closer, gripping the top of the car door with both hands.
"It's the only way to save your father's legacy from public ruin," Julian argued persuasively. "We go down to the courthouse quietly, sign the marriage papers, and the lawsuit disappears overnight."

Audrey looked at him with utter disgust, realizing the depths of his manipulation knew no bounds. He was using a fabricated lawsuit orchestrated by his own mother to force her into a legal trap.
"Tell your mother she can keep fighting in court," Audrey said coldly, shifting her car into reverse. "Because I would rather see my family lose every penny than share one more second with a parasite like you."
