Love's Cunning Ruse novel Chapter 145

Janet was being so stubborn, and they were at City Hall, a formal place, Julie had been here more than once, and there were two uniformed cops standing guard at the entrance.

Theoretically, in such a place, with cops around, it should be impossible for any scams to happen.

Moreover, even if it was a scam, it wouldn't be just to trick a useless divorce certificate.

When Julie signed, she clearly saw the official seal. If this agreement to confiscate the fake certificate had any ulterior motives, using a forged seal would be pointless, as forging seals itself is a serious crime.

So, without much thought, Julie signed her name.

The main reason was that Janet's behavior was somewhat suspicious, so Julie asked to see the agreement again after signing.

But, an employee took the agreement away directly.

Janet looked at Julie and said, “Relax, why would we want your divorce certificate? The police will investigate whether this fake certificate is yours. Just go home and wait for the notifications!”

“I’d like to see the agreement I just signed...”

“Oh my God, aren't you the one who had the illegitimate child mentioned in the newspapers?” a couple who were registering their marriage suddenly pointed at Julie, saying excitedly.

Julie frowned, “Illegitimate child? Me?”

The woman realized she had misspoke, so she awkwardly stuck out her tongue and said, “...that's what the news said, a cunning woman of the 21st century, trapping men with an illegitimate child...”

“Illegitimate child? Men?” Julie looked at the lively woman, seeming a bit confused.

“You know, Mr. Hernandez from Simpo Co.! You’re the woman from the news, right?” The girl excitedly spoke, pulling out her phone and handing it to her boyfriend, “Look, it’s her, she looks identical in profile!”

“May I see?” Julie asked.

The girl readily handed her phone to Julie, and then turned to her boyfriend, “Didn’t you see the woman in the news? Don't people in your company gossip, aren’t there any inside stories?”

“You know I'm just an electrician, in charge of maintenance. How could I have access to core company matters! But there are definitely rumors, I was just a step late yesterday, otherwise I would have seen the woman in the picture...” The man hadn't finished speaking when Julie handed the phone back to the woman.

“Thank you.” After saying that, Julie turned and walked towards the exit.

She was leaving behind the clueless couple.

Janet watched Julie’s retreating figure leave through the front door, then turned and went upstairs.

At a window-side seat on the second floor, Kieran held the agreement Julie had just signed. He glanced down at Julie, who was pulling out her phone and walking towards Karl's car.

Julie stood by the car door and had a few words with Karl.

Unable to persuade him, she took out her phone again and fiddled with it for a while.

Kieran's phone rang, it was Julie calling.

He glanced at the name on the screen, then hung up.

Dylan came over and took the divorce agreement from Kieran's hand to have a look. There was Julie's signature and a clear official seal on it, Dylan tsked, “Kerry, you’re tricking her into marriage!”

“You're in on it too.” Kieran took the agreement back from Dylan, took the pen Janet handed over, and elegantly signed his name at the bottom of the agreement.

Tina stood behind Kieran. She never thought that Attorney Abraham and Mr. Hernandez had such a relationship. Until this morning, when Mr. Hernandez suddenly called Tina, “Get the documents from the lounge locker, and bring them to the City Hall entrance before 8:40.”

Tina was very surprised at the time, she didn't expect to have the chance to go into Mr. Hernandez's lounge, which was thought a privilege only Karl had.

Tina would definitely not tell Kieran that she had long thought Karl was Mr. Hernandez's true love...

“But, Mr. Hernandez... I don't know the password to the lounge and drawer.” Tina said softly.

So, Kieran told Tina the passwords for both the lounge and the drawer.

Tina thought there would be some important documents in the drawer, but she didn't expect to find just a divorce certificate.

A divorce certificate!

Tina suddenly realized. She remembered that Mr. Hernandez had announced at the Ray Group's cooperation banquet that he was married, but no one had found any clues about Mr. Hernandez's ex-wife for so long, so everyone thought it was just a joke from Mr. Hernandez.

Shocked, Tina brought the divorce certificate to the City Hall before 8:40 as instructed by Mr. Hernandez, only to see Mr. Hernandez talking with the staff member, Janet.

And their conversation was about... trying to get Attorney Abraham's divorce certificate back and having Attorney Abraham sign the remarriage agreement.

Mr. Hernandez really went to great lengths to remarry Attorney Abraham.

Kieran reached out to Tina, and Tina immediately handed over all the relevant documents for the remarriage to Kieran.
