Love’s Cunning Ruse ( Mr.Kieran And Julie )
Chapter 101

Chapter 101

But what Julie saw was completely different from what she had imagined. The kitchen was not messy at all, but very tidy Kieran, clad in a casual light grey home wear, was skillfully frying eggs in the kitchen, quite unlike the man she remembered

Perhaps her intense gaze was too much for the egg-frying man, because he suddenly turned around and said to her, “Come help me tie the apron.”

Instead of heeding Kieran’s instruction to get the apron, she strode into the kitchen “Why don’t I do II?”

“You’re all dressed up. You shouldn’t be in the kitchen. Be a good girl and bring me the apron. His voice sounded very appealing

Seeing his insistence, Julie reluctantly turned around to fetch the apron. She used to live here and was very familiar with the layout of the villa. Even after Bertha moved in, not much had changed.

Julie handed the apron to Kieran. “Tie it yourself!”

“You have to help me, or the eggs will get burnt,” He said, holding the spatula in one hand and leaning towards her.

But Julie stood there, unmoving

“If my clothes get dirty, you’ll have to pay for it,” He said

The moment she heard about paying, Julie flared up. “Why should I pay if your clothes get dirty?”

“Because this egg is for you; He said matter-of-factly.

He flipped the egg in the pan once more, then turned his back to Julie. “Help me tie the apron” Julie had no choice but to help him.

Then, Julie left the kitchen and went upstairs to grab her bag. Knowing that Kieran would arrange for someone to send Ivan to school, she quickly said hello to Noah and then left while Ivan and Kieran were still in the kitchen.

Noah, in his fifties, was a highly trained butler who graduated from a professional butler college and was very well-versed in high society etiquette. As far as Julie could remember, Noah had always worked for the Hernandez family. He was one of the few people who supported her marriage to Kieran back then. After marrying Kieran, Noah had looked after her in many ways.

Seeing Noah again made Julie feel very reassuring. She pulled out her phone and called a cab,

/Wing the driver the address of the courthouse

On the way, Julie watched Noblewood Retreat recede into the distance, and for the first time, she realized that five years could change a person so much. The man who used to be incapable of doing housework was now cooking skillfully She never thought a day would come when she saw Kieran cooking elegantly in the kitchen.

Indeed, people did change, but it wasn’t her who charged him…..

Back at Noblewood Retreat, when Kieran and Ivan emerged from the kitchen, Kieran holding the fried eggs.

“Where’s Julie? Kieran asked Noah.

Julie

“as already gone

Noah told him the truth. This didn’t surprise Kieran at all. He knew Julle was avoiding him. He looked down at a somewhat disappointed Ivan. “Eat up. Noah will take you to school later, Mama Julie will definitely be back tonight”

“Really?” At Kieran’s promise, Ivan’s eyes immediately it up. Only after seeing Kieran nod did Ivan quickly finish his milk.

Kieran had no plans to attend court. This was something Julie had anticipated

Today was also the first time Julie stood in court as a lawyer Porter from Accolade Law Firm was there, even bringing Grant along to cheer for her.

After exchanging pleasantries with Porter, he went to the restroom. Seeing Porter and Grant come to support her, Julie was deeply touched. With a sincere smile, she said, “Thank you for your support*

Grant obviously knew about Porter using Julie to get the Kieran case, so he replied, “I m truly here to support you, but Mr. Porter is probably here to watch the trial. I’m sure your time at Simpo Co. hasn’t been easy, right? I also think it’s wrong for Mr. Porter to use you, even though he’s my boss”

“Knowing he’s your boss, how can you say that? Aren’t you afraid hell fire you?” Julie was surprised to replace someone standing up for her, and it comforted her.

The people from Creative Nexus Media soon arrived.

The trial was practically a foregone conclusion. The judge ruled entirely in favor of Kieran’s claims. Creative Nexus Media was utterly defeated. Not only did they have to pay a hefty compensation, but they also had to publish an apology letter on the front page of their websites and newspapers for a month.

Given Creative Nexus Media’s current financial situation, the compensation alone was enough to bankrupt them. But what relieved Julie was not her first victory, but the fact that her contract with Kieran was over once the trial ended. She was finally free from the dangerous man that was Kieran.

Julie had brought the contract she signed with him when she left in the morning. After the court proceedings, Porter suggested throwing a victory party for Julie

However, Julie firmly declined. She told Porter, “I need to go back to Simpo Co. first and inform Mr. Hernandez of the victory”

Understanding Julie’s eagerness to share the good news with Kieran, Porter nodded. “Alright

Julie took a cab to Simpo Co. Having been in the president’s office every day recently, Julie practically faced no obstacles and made her way from the entrance of Simpo Co’s building to the president’s office.

Right out of the elevator, she ran into Karl and Kieran. They seemed to be heading to the elevator. Afraid of missing her chance, Julie quickened her steps to reach Kieran and Karl,

“Mr Hernandez, I have something.”

“Did you win the case?” Kieran cut her off before she could say anything.

Chapter 101

Julie nodded, then said, “I came today to talk about..”

“Get in.” Kieran had already entered the elevator. Karl followed him.

It seemed that Kieran and Karl had plans to go out. Julie pondered a bit but ultimately decided to follow Kieran into the elevator.

“Did you tell Daniel? Kieran glanced at Karl, asking.

Karl quickly nodded. “Everything’s been arranged.”

Tell me the schedule for the next few days, Kieran said

From the moment they entered the elevator, Kieran and Karl’s conversation didn’t stop. Julie didn’t have a chance to get a word in. By the time Karl had reported Kieran’s schedule for the next few days, the elevator had reached the underground parking lot.

It seemed like Kieran had only just noticed Julie’s presence. As he walked out of the elevator, he said to Julie, “We’ll talk in the car.”

Julie had no choice but to follow Kieran into the car. It wasn’t until she was in the back seat that she finally had a chance to speak, “I came today to talk

about our contract”

“Go on.”

“Now that I’ve won the case, does that mean our collaboration is over and the contract is automatically expired?” Julie pulled out the contract she had been carrying.

Kieran took the contract, gave Julie a deep look, and then asked, “And after the contract ends? What’s your plan?”

“Then I don’t have to work at Simpo Co. anymore. As for my future plans, that’s my personal business.” Julie tried to make her tone sound friendlier.. She didn’t know that no matter how friendly her tone was, as long as she was talking about this matter, Kieran wouldn’t be pleased. She waited for a long time without a response from Kieran.

Julie had to take the initiative again. “Mr. Hernandez, since you’re not saying anything. I’ll take that as agreement”

“Do you know what today is?” Kieran suddenly asked Julie.

Julie was completely stumped. She racked her brain. It wasn’t anyone’s birthday, nor was it the memorable anniversary of Kieran’s divorce. She couldn’t think of why today would be special.

Just as Julie was about to ask what was so special about today, Karl, in the front seat, said, “Mr. Hernandez, we’re here.”

Kieran said to Julie, “Let’s get out. I’ll tell you what today is. With that, he opened the door and got out of the car.

Julie sat in the car, not moving. She was unfamiliar with this place. Kieran had already gone around to her side of the car, helping Julie open the door. “Come out.”

Since he had said so, Julie couldn’t continue sitting in his car, so she had to get out. Once she got out, Julie saw they were at the entrance of a shopping -mall. Before she could react, Kieran had already grabbed her hand and pulled her into the mall.

Looking at Kieran’s handsome but cold back, Julie couldn’t help but frown….
