Love's Cunning Ruse novel Chapter 88

Julie was totally into Julien's strong, boyfriend-like vibe.

Perhaps because the landlady just witnessed Julien's strength, she didn't refute this time.

Then Julie stepped up to Adolf, saying, "I hope we can sort this out privately. But if you're not down with that, we can go through the legal process." After saying this, she took Julien's hand and headed for the door.

When they got to the doorway, Julien deliberately looked back at the landlord and his wife.

Seeing the scared look on the couple's face, Julie felt a bit smug. Adolf was injured by Kieran, so Julie wasn't planning to dodge responsibility, but she was disgusted by the landlord's behavior.

Reaching the doorway, Julie's mood instantly lightened, and she looked at Julien with a smile, asking, "What do you feel like eating?"

Julien went to the passenger side and opened the car door for Julie.

After Julie got in, Julien turned around and asked her, "Who exactly hurt Adolf?"

On the way here, Julie only mentioned that the landlord was hurt by a racket, but didn't elaborate.

Julien was smart, so if she asked, it meant she started to have doubts. After a two-second silence, Julie honestly replied, "It was my ex-husband."

Julien didn't know Julie's ex-husband was Kieran. Maybe it was because Julien was always indifferent to things around her, so Julie never mentioned her ex-husband in front of her. Plus, her marriage to Kieran was a secret, so she didn't publicize it.

So all Julien knew was that Julie had once loved a man she grew up with and divorced him for some reasons.

When she heard Julie mention "ex-husband", Julien frowned, "Did you two get back together?"

"No!" Julie answered quickly and firmly, which made Julien give her a few more glances.

She wanted to say something, but seeing Julie's lowered head, her tone softened, "Don't make yourself sad."

"Okay." Julie nodded. Julien didn't talk much, but her words always brought comfort.

......

At Noblewood Retreat, Kieran called Karl.

"Did she go to the hospital?" Kieran asked.

Then Karl replied affirmatively, "She just left the hospital, with a woman in black who looked very tough."

When Julie left Noblewood Retreat, Kieran knew she would definitely go to the hospital. But Adolf wasn't easy to deal with, Kieran worried that Julie might have some accidents, so he had Karl go to the hospital to protect her right after she left Noblewood Retreat.

When Karl arrived at the hospital, he happened to see the landlady grabbing Julie's hair. He was about to rescue her, but Julien suddenly stepped in to help Julie. Judging from Julie's actions, she seemed quite familiar with that woman.

Karl told Kieran everything that had just happened in detail, and sent the picture he secretly took of Julien to Kieran.

After looking at the picture, Kieran told Karl on the other end of the phone, "Handle everything that needs to be done, also tell Julie to go to work at the company tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Kieran hung up the phone and stared at the picture of Julien that Karl had secretly taken.

When Hayden walked into Kieran's study, he saw him staring at his phone in a daze.

"What are you looking at?" Hayden sat down next to Kieran, ready to see what he was looking at.

However, Kieran suddenly put away his phone, then turned his head and said to Hayden, "Do me a favor."

"Shoot." Hayden said.

"Check who this woman is." Kieran handed his phone to Hayden.

Hayden took a look, his pupils contracted. He looked up at Kieran and asked him, "What are you checking this woman for?"

"She's seducing my wife." Kieran said high-handedly, with a dangerous tone.

Hayden took a look at the picture without any expression, then looked up at Kieran, raising an eyebrow, "You mean, my woman is seducing your wife?"

"Whose woman?" Kieran suddenly stood up, walked over to the sofa next to Hayden. He looked him up and down, a wicked smile playing at the corner of his mouth, "You actually like women?"

"I like you." Hayden removed Kieran's hand from his shoulder, then finally turned to him with a somewhat serious tone, "Her name is Julien, she just returned from visiting her twin sister Flavia at home, I didn't have time to introduce you to her."

Julien?
