"The Great, Least, Richer, Poor Part 7 Ch 13"
At Genevieve/Julian-Julian was at home pouring a drink when Hugo entered the room. "Pour me a drink," father. "What have you been up to?" "Just the usual stuff." "Be careful; you just avoid jail time." "Oh, Julian, we are untouchable." As Madeline, Quinn, and Charlotte came into the room, she said, "I couldn't agree more, father." "Stop being a suck-up. Now that you're back, Quinn, I want you with us. I. The business." "Father, what about JJ?" "He can still run it. The business is for family." "But men only, right, father?" "Charlotte, you don't want to work with us. Something tells me we break the law for the business, and I don't want you to do that." "Charlotte, we could find you something." "Thanks, Mother." "Yes, I'm glad both my children are home." As Genevieve came in with Eja, she said, "Eja's missing his father; he's been crying today." "Hugo took him." "Eja, you're a Delatour. Stop crying." "Eja, stop crying." "Where's Jedediah?" "She's out with William. I hope this is good." "Me too." "It better be! A Winthrope wedding." Jedediah and William were having dinner together. "Jedediah, it's been nice seeing you." "Yes, it has been; I've been enjoying it." "Good. I know you still love him." "I will always love Matthew, but he's gone." William took her hands. "Are you ready to go to the next level?" "Sure, I believe I'm ready." They went to a room, and William kissed her. They were about to have sex when Jedediah had doubts and pulled back. "I'm not ready, I'm sorry." "What! Do you know how long I've wanted this! I had to do a lot to get this room!" William was upset and hit her right in the face, and Jedediah was shocked by it. Jedediah put her hands on her face. "I'm sorry. I'll take you home."
At Genevieve/Julian-Genevieve and Julian were in the living room. "You look upset." "My father wants Quinn to join us at the office!" "Yes, I'm upset." "Oh, Julian, you're better than him." "Thanks." Outside, William was walking Jedediah home. "I'm sorry. It will not happen again." Jedediah was still shaking about William. "I believe you." William left, and Jedediah fixed her makeup on her face and went inside. "Jedediah, how was your date?" "It was nice." "Oh, Jedediah, I'm glad you're seeing William. He comes from a good family." "Yes, Daddy." Julian left the room. "Jedediah, are you okay? You look sad." "I'm alright, Mother." "Jedediah, I want to be the mother you need me to be— the one you can open up to." "Thanks, Mother. I'll keep that in mind." Jedediah went upstairs. "Something's not right with my daughter," Genevieve said to herself.
