Love's Cunning Ruse novel Chapter 48

Nowadays, the moment Julie heard Kieran's name, her gut reaction was to skedaddle.

"Sorry, Porter, Daphne and I have something to attend to, we're gonna bounce." Julie forced a smile, grabbed Daphne, and was ready to split the scene.

But just then, behind her came the confident voice of Raul, the law school professor, "Julie? Running away as soon as you see me? Are you afraid I might eat you?"

Raul, in his sixties, looked at Julie with kindly eyes. She had no choice but to turn around and face the music. But what she didn't expect was that standing next to Raul was the dean, and... Kieran.

He was wearing a dark gray suit, a white shirt paired with a blue-grey striped tie, formal and elegant. He stood amongst a group of leaders, radiating brilliance, calmly chatting with the dean.

Seemed like she was not getting off the hook today. Because Raul was already pointing at her, laughing as he said to Kieran, "Kieran, this is Joyce, who was head over heels for you, remember?"

Back then, Julie's pursuit of Kieran was indeed crazy, like she would do anything for Kieran, just unstoppable.

When Raul brought this up, Porter immediately chimed in, "Yeah, at that time Kieran said, if Julie could jump off the top of the school building, he would be her boyfriend. Julie was really determined back then, she even hired a professional parachuting team to perform a stunt at our school during summer break, which was way higher than the school building."

Back then, her family hadn't gone bankrupt yet, Julie was the pampered princess of the family, and didn't worry about any life issues. Her biggest goal in life was to chase after Kieran.

Bringing up such past memories, Julie now felt that she was really bold back then. How did she manage to not care about her image?

Even the dean enjoyed reminiscing about the past. "Thanks to Julie's leap, it made social media news and gave our law school a big shout-out!"

Many students gathered around, originally drawn by Kieran's popularity and good looks, but ended up being attracted by Julie's glorious deeds. All of them threw admiring glances at Julie.
