Love's Cunning Ruse novel Chapter 30

Kieran was being a total jerk, just as expected.

Julie tried to pull away from Kieran's grip on her chin but couldn't fight against his strength. So she gave up.

She, instead, stared at him with bright eyes and a sarcastic smile, "So, tell me, how much is all this stuff you taught me worth?"

He released her chin, sat down, and stared right into Julie's eyes, "How much do you have?"

"I lost my only job and have no income. Aren’t I looking for a new beau? If I find one, it depends on how much he's willing to spend on me. Right now, it's your fault I can't get my hands on any money because you've messed up my plans."

Julie was like a little wildcat with claws, who used to be docile towards Kieran, but now she was more like a prickly hedgehog, ready to spike at anyone who came near.

Kieran followed her gaze, then suddenly turned to look at Julie, "Need help finding a job?"

She didn't believe he would be that kind.

In Kieran's mind, the proud Julie would refuse him arrogantly.

But, to his surprise, a small smile spread across her face. She looked at him gently and said, "Sure! If Mr. Hernandez wants to do a good deed, find me a high-paying job that doesn't require much work. I'd be so very grateful!"

Pride was something Julie used to have. But after all the years of hardship, she realized that only those who were alive had the privilege to talk about pride.

So, when she said this, there was little hesitation in her voice.

Kieran turned back, glaring at Julie, slowly echoing her words, "High pay, minimal work..."

"Would you like to be my bedmate?" He asked.
