Julia feels offended hearing Adam's words, but she can't retort, as what Adam says is true.
Julia doesn't need to put up an act before Adam because she knows Adam sees right through the act that she puts on before Jack.
She married Jack because of his money, and whether Jack knew about it or not was none of her concern because the marriage was already done. She is in and part of this house now.
But Julia continues to put on her loving wife act as she doesn't want to end up divorced, as she believes she has the right to everything Jack owns, and getting divorced is not something she is looking forward to.
Her biggest obstacle in getting everything that Jack owns under her name is Adam, as Jack's son. He is the rightful heir.
Julia knows it's going to be hard to convince Jack to put everything he has under her name. For that, she needs Adam to make a mistake, a mistake huge enough that would convince Jack that Adam is not ready to take on the family business.
