Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 37

Julie felt a bit on edge as she listened to the sound of running water from the bathroom. She wanted to bolt from the house, leaving him alone, but was worried that if she returned, her small room might’ve been torn apart by Kieran’s single command.

So, Julie had no choice but to spend her time contemplating strategies on her tiny bed, which felt like ages.

She wanted to whip out her phone and call Karl, begging him to come and fix this hot mess. But then she remembered her phone had been snatched by the man in the bathroom and handed over to Karl, who was to contact Adeline about compensation.

Julie took a deep breath and glanced around her home.

Finally, her gaze settled on an empty vase on the table.

After all these years of knowing Kieran, she had never seen him drunk. If he started to lose control, she could knock him out with the vase. Maybe that was a good idea.

With this thought, Julie’s hand had already touched the vase.
