Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

Chapter 396 Everyone fell silent . Lambert forced himself out of his daze and looked toward his employer . Renault's wrist hung at an odd angle , already dislocated . Cold sweat ran down his forehead . " Mr. Youngkin ! " Lambert cried , panic rising in his voice . " Let me get you to the hospital ! " Renault brushed his hand aside and let out a hoarse snicker . " Well , well . I underestimated you , Sebastian . I didn't expect you to find someone that skilled in such a short time Fine , then . You win . Take Julia and go . I won't bother her again . " I met his gaze .

Malice gleamed in his eyes like a dark promise . " Good , " I replied curtly and led them both out . I didn't believe him for a second . But my goal had been to intimidate him , and I had succeeded . There was no reason to linger . After Sebastian left , Lambert carefully set Renault's wrist back into place . The latter gritted his teeth , trembling with pain . " Is that all we're gonna do , boss ? " one of the henchmen muttered . " We're just gonna let it slide because a woman told us to ? " Renault smirked through the pain . " Please . You really think that's the end of it ?

I can always take back my word . No one says I can't . " His grin widened . " Besides , that woman might be strong , but she can't be everywhere at once , can she ? " The henchmen's faces brightened in anticipation . They understood exactly what Renault meant . Renault was ready to retaliate . They trio arrived at Astergrad University . Julia put on a theatrical gasp . " Oh no ! The gate's locked ! I'm too late ! What should I do now ? I guess we'll just have to stay at a hotel together ! " " Absolutely not , " Sebastian said at once . " Listen .

We won this round , but I saw the look in Renault's eyes . This is far from over . I can't be around you all the time , Julia . You need to stay alert . " Still uneasy , he turned to Byleth . " Can you keep an eye on her at school for now ? " Byleth gave a calm nod . " I shall satisfy your every request . Julia's jealousy flared the instant she heard it . She knew Byleth could protect her , and that made it worse . ' I shall satisfy your every request , ' she mimicked bitterly in her head . ' Hah ! Over my dead body , you smug bitch . You're not taking him from me .

' As we neared the university gate , Renault's expression flashed in my mind again . The thought unsettled me enough to remind Byleth once more to guard Julia closely . I only let them leave after she gave a firm assurance . " Fine , mister , " Julia huffed . " I'll accept your bodyguard , but don't forget that I'm going to be your wife . Nothing will change that ! Especially not her ! " Chopter 396 +25 Bonus " Duly noted , Julia . Now go to your dorm . I still have work to do . " I waited until they disappeared beyond the gate before turning the car around and heading straight to my office .
