Love's Cunning Ruse novel Chapter 209

Julie stared at the photo. The man in the picture was indeed Lucian, and according to Julien's investigation, the plane was purchased by a mysterious buyer from London...

"Do you think the person who bought the plane could be Lucian?" Julie asked.

And that was exactly the question Kieran was pondering.

Looking at Kieran's thoughtful expression, Julie said, "After Lucian's plane crash, Simvar Co. was up to its eyeballs in debt, right?"

Even though Julie didn't care about Kieran's work, she wasn't unaware of such big problems the company had faced. The company of the Hernandez family used to be Simvar Co.

After Lucian's plane crash, the shareholders of Simvar Co. came out of the woodwork. It was only then that Kieran found out that under Lucian's management, Simvar Co. had racked up a whopping financial deficit.

The reason Lucian boarded that plane was to tackle the company's financial deficit.

But the accident on the plane didn't be expected. After Lucian's accident, Simvar Co. plunged into a severe crisis. All responsibilities fell on Kieran.

All the shareholders demanded Kieran - on behalf of the Hernandez family - to give them a decent explanation.

It was not until Kieran had the books checked that he realized Simvar Co. had been in the red for over a year. Later, a group of old-timers launched a business war in the company.

Simvar Co. was torn apart. Kieran resigned as the CEO accordingly.

Later, he established Simpo Co., and only then managed to buy back Simvar Co. All this showed that, most importantly...

Even if Lucian's plane crash was premeditated, even if Lucian survived that accident, he could only start afresh penniless.

If Lucian was the mysterious rich man who bought the plane in London back then, where did he get the money?

Even if the plane wasn't Lucian's, based on this photo, Lucian surely had a close connection with the plane's owner.

So, what on earth had Lucian been up to all these years since he disappeared?

These were the questions Julie was wondering about, and they were also the questions Kieran had contemplated.

Looking at Kieran, Julie asked, "Have you been looking for Lucian all these years?"

Kieran took Julie's hand and sat down by the bed, nodding, "When I reappeared in your life a while ago, when Bertha committed suicide by jumping off the building, I had just tracked him down."

"If Lucian didn't have a solid background all these years, he couldn't have stayed off the radar for so long under your and Hayden Simson's scrutiny, right?" Julie said.

Kieran laughed and caressed her face, "Honey, you're really smart."

"You're messing with me. I'm dead serious!" Julie stared at Kieran with a serious look.

Kieran seriously replied, "So am I. Shall we go on?"

"Go on with what?" Julie looked a bit lost now.

Kieran arched an eyebrow, looking at her slipping shoulder strap, "The thing we were interrupted just now. Shall we continue?"

He was not affected by what had just happened at all!

Julie reached out to Kieran, "I need to apply some medicine!"

"I'll be gentle so you won't need it."

"I mean I'm gonna apply medicine on my arm!!!" Julie held out her arm to Kieran, raising her voice a bit.

Kieran smirked, satisfied, "Darling, don't forget, keep your thoughts pure."

Julie went silent.

Kieran knelt on one knee by the bed, grabbed Julie's arm, and carefully applied the medicine.

"What are you kneeling for? Get up!" Julie patted the side of the bed. She felt a bit heartbroken seeing Kieran in such a devout posture.

He said seriously, "Actually, I feel tormented if I don't do something with you at night. Let me just kneel and train my willpower and patience."

He talked like she was torturing him.

"Actually, it's not bad to restrain a bit," Julie said weakly.

Kieran paused and looked up, "Are you referring to occasional restraint or long-term restraint?"

"How about changing the subject?" Julie squinted her beautiful eyes.

"Your smile is fake!" he pointed at her smile.

Julie pursed her lips. Wasn't it enough that she stopped smiling?

"What did you say you wanted to change the subject to?" Kieran held her other arm and continued applying ointment.

Julie told him what she had thought about during the day, "You call Creative Nexus Media and have them drop the lawsuit! I've thought it over, I don't think I should work in the legal department of your company."
