Mary was flabbergasted. "Julien Rothschild?! Wasn't he recently appointed as the heir apparent of the Rothschild family? And you're saying that broad's new husband knows him?!"

Jimmy shot her a glare. "Did you not hear what I just said?"

Mary flinched, but Jimmy's eyes were serious, and he looked livid, so he clearly wasn't joking. "Alright, fine—Matilda. But tell me, what's the deal with her new husband? What on earth happened in Aurous Hill?"

Jimmy sighed emotionally. "It's a long story…"
