Didn't this prove he had nothing to do with Sienna?
Even if there was something going on, he clearly wasn't planning to go public, which meant they could continue living in denial.
Or perhaps he was keeping it quiet because he genuinely cared about his fans?
These obsessives still harbored the wild delusion that Julian valued them more than his own friends and family.
They desperately wanted his world to revolve around them.
But how could it?
Julian approached, his expression ice-cold.
"What is the meaning of this?"
"Are you trying to cause a public disturbance?"
Just those two sentences reduced the rabid crowd to a bunch of scolded children.
They were terrified of disappointing their idol.
He delivered the reprimand with a chilling calm, refusing to utter another word, leaving them looking at each other in stunned silence, unsure of what to do next.
However, their guilt was fleeting.
Soon enough, their minds went back to what he had done.
"Julian, why did you go to Luvia?"
Once one person spoke up, the rest couldn't hold back.
"My trip to Luvia was a private matter. I don't need to report my itinerary to you," he replied.
His stern demeanor was intimidating, though someone was already secretly snapping photos of him.
Not that it mattered-without his consent, those pictures would never see the light of day.
What media outlet would dare cross him?
The fans were used to seeing his gentle side, so facing his sudden icy dismissal left them deeply disheartened.
Still, a bolder fan spoke up. "Julian, we aren't trying to interfere with your personal life. But you're a public figure! We want to know where you go because we love you."
"We love you so much. Is it really that hard to just be honest with us?"
"You even used your private jet to fly those reality stars back home!

"Julian, we're just worried about you! We're doing this for your own good!"
Julian cast a glance at the speaker. He recognized her; for the past few years, this girl had been stalking his schedule, occasionally even popping up at his vacation spots.
She was an obsessive stalker.
Whether she actually loved him or not, he couldn't say, but she definitely treated him like her personal property.
Although these weren't the original rabid fans from his early career, they still triggered unpleasant memories.
He was completely unmoved by her words. In fact, he was disgusted.
"Thank you for looking out for me, but I need my privacy."
"Feel free to support my work, but please stay out of my personal life."
It took a lot of restraint for him to speak that politely.
But the girl wasn't satisfied.
"Julian, how can you say that?"
"We aren't interfering! We just want to be involved and know how you're doing."
"The internet says you did it all for Sienna. Do you really like her?"
At the mention of her name, the mob's emotions instantly flared.
"Julian, where is she? Is she with you?"
"You can't date anyone! We've loved you for so long. You belong to all of us—she
can't have you all to herself!"
"Yeah! You can't just abandon us!"
"We don't accept her! She isn't good enough for you!"
"Sienna is a leech! She's just using. you for fame Even if y you

"Exactly! You deserve the best!"
Hearing their delusional declarations, Julian only wanted to scoff.
"And who exactly is the best?"
His counter-question plunged the entire crowd into absolute silence.
