Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 77

“Why don’t you have me, huh? I’ll even pay you.” Kieran flung open the bathroom door at some point, wearing only his underpants, without even the time to put on his clothes.

Kieran had quite the physique, one that was worth appreciating. As transparent water droplets trickled down his body, Julie found her gaze irresistibly

drawn to him.

Adolf hadn’t expected a man to suddenly appear from Julie’s room.

The reason he dared to flirt with Julie so blatantly was because he knew of her background. He knew she was financially strapped and had a critically ill

sister to take care of

He had long noticed Julie’s beauty and had finally mustered up the courage today, only to have a man suddenly appear in Julie’s room.

And this man seemed somewhat familiar, especially the aura he exuded, which was hard to ignore.

To Julie, the words Kieran had just spoken might just be the most shameless she’d ever heard.

Kieran had given Adolf quite the scare. It took him a while to recover, and then, disgruntled, he looked up at Kieran and asked, “Who the hell are you?”

“Tm this woman’s boyfriend,” Kieran paused, then added, “And the man whos about to trash your reputation.”

“Oh, you’re full of hot air. Do you know who I am?” Adolf let go of Julie, obviously intending to take on Kieran next.

Julie knew that Adolf could act so rudely because he had some claut behind him.

The moment Adolf let go of her, she instinctively ran towards Kieran

It was a sense of security deep within that had Julie’s actions outpace her thoughts

Her brain hadn’t even reacted when she limped over to Kieran’s side.

“Give me your phone” Kieran looked at Julie calmly

Julie didn’t understand what Kieran would do, but she handed over the phone anyway

Her phone never had a password Daphne always said she didn’t live like a modern person at all.

Julie watched as Kieran swiftly dialed a couple of numbers on her phone screen, then put the phone to his ear
