Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 131

Now Julle understood why Adeline had told her not to hate her… At this point, Julie was beyond pissed

at Adeline, she was downright murderous.

This time, Julie didn’t stop, nor did she turn around because of Kieran’s words. She quickened her

pace, bolting in the opposite direction

to Kieran.

Julie was at her wit’s end. She hailed a taxi and said frantically to the driver, “Step on it!”

However, just as the taxi driver hit the gas, a black Jaguar appeared out of nowhere, blocking their way.

If the driver hadn’t reacted so quickly, they might have crashed into the car.

The driver was fuming that he rolled down his window and began to rant. Without a doubt in her mind,

Julie knew who the Jaguar belonged to, so she opened the taxi door to make a run for it..

But then, five or six men in black suits appeared out of nowhere, surrounding the taxi.

The driver, who was yelling just a moment ago, was now frozen with fear.

Seeing Kieran closing in on the taxi, Julle hurriedly yelled at the driver, “Lock the doors!”

The driver was startled by Julie’s shout and hurriedly pressed the lock button.

When Kieran approached the taxi, he tried to open the door, but couldn’t….

*Julie, get out. I need to talk to you.” Kieran’s voice came from outside the car door.

The driver was about to call the police. Suddenly, he saw a man outside the window holding a window

breaker, gesturing and shouting, “Open the door or back up!”

The taxi driver, with thirty years of experience under his belt, had never encountered such a situation.

The man outside didn’t seem like someone he could handle, so he had no choice but to unlock the

door. Julie was comered. Kieran opened the door and yanked her out.

On the way from the coffee shop to the hotel, Julie was very quiet, and didn’t resist, because…

That jerk Kieran had actually had Karl bring a rope.

Before getting in the car, Julie did struggle, but then Karl walked up to Kieran, rope in hand.

Kieran looked at Julie and said, “It’s your choice. Do you want to go alone, or should I let Karl tie you

up and take you away?”

After he finished speaking, a bunch of men in black closed in.

In the end, Julie got in the car herself. Did she have any other choice?

On the way from the coffee shop to the hotel, neither Julie nor Kieran said a word.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Karl felt a chill down his spine. The atmosphere in the back seat was

even more tense.

Fortunately, before long, the car pulled up at the hotel.

“Get out.” Kieran’s commanding voice ordered Julie.

Julie closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.

Kieran didn’t argue with her, he simply leaned over and carried her out of the car.

“Are you really doing this?” Julie opened her eyes, looking at Kieran.

Her calm tone was even colder than Adeline’s had been.

Kieran didn’t answer her question, he just carried her into the elevator.

After Karl pressed a floor, he handed the room card to Kieran and quickly exited the elevator.

“Put me down.” Julie looked up at Kieran.

“I have something to say. He replied.

“I have nothing to say to you.” Julle asked Kieran, “Will you let me go or not?”

-“No.”

As soon as Kieran finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his neck.

Kiaran had a long neck, which made him look particularly classy in a white shirt and suit. Julie bit him

on the neck without holding back.

Though his neck stung, Kieran still didn’t let go.

As the elevator door opened, Julie heard him say, “I never thought about letting you go.”

This sentence rang out with the sound of the elevator door opening. Julie wasn’t sure if she had heard

him right.

All in all, because of this sentence, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Kieran camed her into the hotel suite, then put her on the bed.

In that instant, all of Julie’s anger boiled over.

She snatched up a pillow from the bedside and hurled it at Kieran.

Kieran stood there, expressionless, as he accepted the pillow Julie threw at him.

Seeing that Kieran didn’t dodge, Julie threw two more pillows at him.

The man bent over to pick up the pillows from the floor, then walked towards the side of the bed while

looking at Julie affectionately, “Stop it. You’ll hurt your hand.”

“Stay away!” Julie grabbed the lamp from the nightstand, her eyes wide as she glared at Kieran, “I have

nothing to talk to you about. You leave, or let me go!”

“What if I don’t leave? Are you planning to hit me with that lamp, or kill yourself?” Kieran hugged her

pillow and looked at Julie leisurely. Julie remained silent. If she could, she really wanted to kill Kieran

herself before committing suicide.

During Julie’s silence, Kieran took another step closer to Julie, “Go ahead, hit me. If you hit yourself, I

will be distressed.”

“Distressed? Julie’s smile was as cold as ice. She looked at Kieran, “Get lost!”

Julie threw the lamp at Kieran.

She knew Kieran would dodge it, and she also knew her threats were useless.

In fact, Kieran simply sidestepped, easily avoiding the lamp Julie threw at him.

While Kieran was dodging, Julie dashed towards the door, but Kieran caught her. He pressed her down

on the bed behind him.

Julie raised her head and was about to bump into Kieran, but he was one step ahead, holding her

forehead and successfully pushing her back onto the pillow.

“Bertha didn’t commit suicide.” Kieran suddenly blurted out.

Julie, who was resisting, was taken aback.

After a while, she said coldly. “Why should I care how she died?”

“What you’re saying doesn’t match what you’re thinking.” Kieran let go of Julie’s head, pinning her

failing hands down, “I have something to show you”

“I won’t look!” Julie closed her eyes, stubbornly turning her head away

But what she didn’t expect was, a familiar sensation suddenly seeped through her lips….

That’s the warmth of Kieran’s lips on hers.

Julie’s eyes popped wide open. Before she could shake off her shock, Kieran had already sat up,

releasing her.

Just as Julie was getting up from the bed, Kieran handed her a brown paper bag.

Julie took the bag, put it down, and stood up. While Kieran was off guard, she swung a slap at him.

*Kieran, we divorced five years ago. We’ve had zero contact since. Why are you looking for me now?

Are you even a man?”

Julie had no idea how hard she slapped him. She could actually feel her fingertips tingling.

She grabbed her bag and bolted for the door, but Kieran quickly caught up.

He grabbed her shoulders, turned her around, and pinned her against the door panel.

His eyes were deep. He stroked her face, his lips grazing down her lips, sometimes gently, sometimes

more firmly.

Julie was wearing a white shirt and a pair of black skinny jeans, the hem of the shirt tucked into her

jeans. Just as Julie was struggling. Kieran’s hand had already slipped into her waistband, unbuttoning

her jeans….

She tried to grab his arm, but he easily restrained both her arms with one hand and raised them above

her head.

“Am I a man? You should know better than me, right?” His voice was as low and husky as usual.

Julie clenched her legs tightly. Her eyes filled with tears as she glared at him, “Your actions now only

prove you’re a beast!”

“A beast?” Kieran cocked his head. The red mark Julie had left on his neck was glaringly obvious now.

His gesture seemed to hint that Julle was the real beast.

He put his hand around her waist, lifted her up, and walked straight to the bed.

Julie, who was only wearing a shirt, suddenly felt a chill. By the time she reacted, she was completely

naked.

Kieran’s actions were actually very gentle, but Julie’s skin was so tender that he occasionally left a few

red marks on her skin.

The tears that had been pooling in Julie’s eyes finally fell. After Kieran threw her on the bed, she

stopped resisting. Instead, she stubbornly wiped her tears while staring at Kieran, “Come on! Whatever

you want to do, do it all at once! I’ll go along with it, okay?!”

Kieran stood still. Actually, he had no intention of doing anything to her. It’s just that if he didn’t strip her,

this woman would eventually

run away

Seeing Kieran didn’t respond, Julie’s trembling voice had a helpless undertone. She glared at Kieran

with her swollen eyes, asking him, “What do you want from me? Are you going to force me to die?”

Kieran tossed the document bag to Julie, his gaze deep. “You said you’d cooperate with me, didn’t

you? Read everything in the folder, then I’ll let you go.”

Julie looked at the document bag with skepticism, unsure why Kieran insisted on her reading its

contents.

But to escape Kieran, to get away from him, she eventually picked up the yellowed document bag. With

a stiff and slow motion, she reached in and pulled out the papers inside..
