Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 93

Elliot invited Kieran for dinner, but he didn’t see this coming. Kieran brought Julie along.

Their lovey dovey behavior immediately stole the limelight, leaving Elliot feeling overlooked on the side.

Kieran was playing with Julie’s hair. Julie was about to push him away but stopped when she spotted Elliot behind them.

“Didn’t expect you to be this early, Mr. Sanches,” Kieran said, looking at Elliot.

Elliot regained his usual suave demeanor, smiling at Kieran “I thought I only invited you”

“Maybe you forgot to mention not to bring a female companion,” Kieran retorted, taking Julie by the hand, and heading for the Starlight Haven Hotel

Elliot followed closely behind.

In the private room, Julie sat next to Kieran. She hadn’t said a word since they walked in the door. Elliot’s gaze never left her face. Julie pretended not to

Even though the proposal was unsuccessful, Elliot was sincere.

Elliot asked, frankly, “I heard that you are in a legal battle with Creative Nexus Media due to Ms. Bertha’s previous engagement. I know a couple of lawyers with deep experience in this field. Their expertise should be more abundant than Julie’s. So I wanted to ask if I could lend a hand.”

What a clever roundabout way!

Kieran glanced at Julie next to him. I already have a lawyer, so no need to bother

Julie thought the dinner would continue in this uncomfortable atmosphere, but she didn’t expect Kierans next words to be, I thought you invited me for dinner because of my ex-wife, so I brought her along. Turns out you were worried about my lawsuit. I misjudged you”

Julie gave Kieran a sideways glance, feeling like the whole world owed him an Oscar With such acting skills, it was a shame not to be a movie star.

Since Kieran had stated his thoughts, there was no reason for Elliot to continue talking about irrelevant matters.
