Love’s Cunning Ruse ( Mr.Kieran And Julie )

Chapter 4 

“Let go of me!” Julie raised her chin, staring firmly at the man in front of her, her eyes gleaming with a cold resolve. 

“Bertha Stewart is dead,” the man’s voice suddenly came from above.- 

Julie’s entire body stiffened in an instant, her struggling came to a halt. A slight ripple appeared on her 

calm face. 

Bertha’s death wasn’t surprising to her, as she had witnessed the whole process herself. But when this fact came from the lips of Kieran Hernandez, her heart felt like it had been pricked. 

She remembered the day she decided to divorce him, asking him, “Kieran, would you be sad if the person who died on the operating room that day was me?” 

She distinctly remembered the icy look in his eyes back then, as cold as falling into an ice cellar. 

He sat elegantly on the sofa, legs crossed, his gaze seemingly veiled in mist. His faint lips uttered a weak voice, yet resolutely answered her, “No.” 

Then he picked up the pen she had given him and elegantly signed his name on the divorce agreement. 

On the day of the divorce, she left him resolutely. 

Looking back now, she was the real fool back then! 

Gradually, her recently mournful expression returned to a flawless mask. 

Julie lifted her head, a smirk tugging at her lips. “She was your fiancée. Shouldn’t you graciously accompany her on her final journey? Shouldn’t you hold a solemn funeral and continue playing the role of her devoted lover?” 

Julie coldly pushed the man in front of her and with a mocking smile, she said, “Rest assured, I won’t expose you.” 

She turned around, her hand already on the doorknob. 

Yet before she could open the door, the man suddenly hoisted her over his shoulder, and then unceremoniously tossed her onto the bed. 

Julie tightly grabbed the man’s hand, causing both her and Kieran to fall onto the bed together. To avoid crushing her, Kieran supported himself with one hand on the mattress. 

Kieran looked down at Julie, his eyes veiled in mist, with a teasing tone in his voice as he whispered in 

her ear. 

“Why are you so eager to escape? Are you afraid of me?” 

Even under him, even though her breathing had become somewhat difficult, Julie chuckled in derision, answering, “Because I’m a human. It’s normal to be scared when facing a wild beast, isn’t it?” 

“After all these years, you’ve become quite the master of sarcasm,” the man didn’t mind her sarcasm, instead, he smiled. 

Julie looked at the man, her teeth gritted. “Sometimes, people need to be a bit tough to protect themselves, right? Mr. Hernandez, do you really have to wait until I harm you before you let me go?” 

She looked like she could attack him at any moment. 

Kleran calmly gazed at Julie and started to speak, “Considering you were the only witness present when. Bertha jumped, so…” 

Before Kieran could finish his sentence, Julie coldly interrupted, “You want me to give a statement, don’t you? I’ll go to the police station to cooperate with the investigation. Can you let me go now?” 

She looked at Kieran calmly, her tone icy. 

Kieran stood up, released her, elegantly adjusted the cuffs of his snow–white shirt, and calmly told her, “The police will be here shortly. Once you finish giving your statement, I’ll naturally let you go.” 

Julie knew that if she didn’t give a statement, this man might not allow her to leave. So, almost involuntarily, she hugged the blanket and without hesitation, leaned against the edge of the bed. 

Suddenly, she thought about how many women might have slept in this bed, causing Julie to immediately drop the blanket. 

“No other woman has ever slept in this bed,” Kieran immediately noticed what Julie was thinking and explained. 

Only then did Julie relinquish her somewhat disgusted attitude, wrapping the blanket around her and giving Kieran a glance. 

Kieran calmly looked at Julie, wrapped in the blanket, and then casually said, “Although no other woman has slept in this bed, the sheets are what I used last night.” 

Kieran had the habit of sleeping naked, something Julie was aware of. She promptly looked at Kieran with a disgusted expression, then quickly threw off the sheet and got up from the bed. 

Kieran’s lips curved into a mocking smile as he looked at Julie, then turned and left with a hint of  sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
