Love's Cunning Ruse novel Chapter 154

MoMo was twirling the diamond ring, looking at Ivan with both surprise and guilt. "Really? So if I took Ms. Albertine's ring, will she divorce Babur?"

Ivan, deep in thought, looked at MoMo. "I don't know if Ms. Albertine would divorce Babur, but if you take her ring, she's definitely going to scold you tonight."

"What should I do then? Sillyvan, can I stay over at your house tonight?" MoMo looked at Ivan with a pitiful face.

Ivan eyed MoMo and replied coolly, "Boys can't just bring girls home to spend the night."

"I'm not a girl, I'm Cupid, the god of love, a little angel. You can take me home. I'll shoot your parents with my little bow and arrow and I promise they'll never divorce!"

Ivan looked at her, speechless.

She must have been watching too much TV!

Ivan ignored her, but he was still thinking about the ring.

After school, Ivan was the first to rush out.

Noah, who was waiting at the gate, hadn't recovered before he saw Ivan get into the car. "To the mall!"

"But Mrs. Abraham said......"

Noah was interrupted by Ivan before he could finish. "If you don't drive me to the mall, I'll tell Shannon that you sneaked a smoke."

Such a little kid, and he's already threatening people!

Noah had been trying to quit smoking for ages, but decades of addiction weren't so easily overcome. He had just said he was going to quit, and then Ivan caught him. If Shannon knew he hadn't smoked again, wouldn't he get a lecture when he got home?

So, ensuring Ivan's safety, Noah took out his phone to call Julie. Because Julie just said she would personally pick up Ivan after school.

Unfortunately, before he could make the call, the phone was grabbed by Ivan. "What are you doing?"

"Mrs. Abraham said she would pick you up, where are you going? I need to inform Mrs. Abraham." Noah replied.

Ivan quickly took Noah's phone to his chest. "I'll just send my mom a message. Let's hurry to the mall! I want to buy a gift for my mom."

Ivan took out his phone and sent Julie a message, then let Noah take him to the mall.

Julie received Ivan's message: Mama Julie, don't come to pick me up!

As playful as ever, Ivan's tone made Julie somewhat uneasy.

She dialed Noah's number, but no one picked up.

Julie, still worried, called Ivan, only to be directly hung up on.

Julie, still uneasy after a few moments of hesitation, decided to call Kieran.

Kieran was sitting in the main seat of the conference room, with the company's department managers and general managers reporting on the latest quarterly situation.

His phone, set to silent on the table, suddenly lit up.

Kieran glanced down at his phone, a subtle move that drew everyone's attention to Mr. Hernandez.

Because it was a call from Julie, Kieran handed the phone to Karl.

"Pick it up." Then Kieran turned to the department manager calmly. "Continue."

Three minutes later, Karl approached Kieran with his phone. "Mrs. Abraham said... she can't reach Ivan or Noah."

After a moment of silence, Kieran motioned for Karl to hand him his phone. He dialed Ivan's number while pointing out flaws in the department manager's report. Then he said, "Meeting adjourned."

Kieran remained calm throughout the process.

When the company executives stood up, Ivan's call connected.

Ivan's childish voice came through the phone. "Kerry, you've got a great son!"

"If my good son doesn't behave, I can give him to someone else anytime." Kieran's tone was somewhat suppressed.

Ivan, who had always been good at reading moods, chuckled on the other end of the line. "Then please send me to Mama Julie!"

"Where are you?" Kieran cut to the chase.

Ivan thought for a moment, then replied, "Grand Emporium Plaza. But don't tell Mama Julie, Kerry, you better hurry, or you might lose lovely Julie."

"Give the phone to Noah." Kieran ordered. But...

Ivan, as usual, disobeyed. "If you don't come, I'll tell Mama Julie what's hidden in your safe!"
