Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 106

Kieran led Julie into the elevator without immediately pressing the floor button, giving Elliot a chance to join them. This was obviously deliberate on Kierans part.

“Elliot

The party tonight is a trap. Elliot, I need to warn you that Mrs. Sanches is planning to announce your engagement to Bianca at this event. As soon as the elevator doors closed, Julie spilled the beans

Kieran stood behind Julie and Elliot quietly, giving them enough space and time

In fact, Elliot already knew about this. Adeline had called him when Julie and Bianca were squabbling in the main hall. He was shocked when Adeline blurted out over the phone, Your future fiancée is bullying the girl you’re sweet on, in other words, Bianca doused herself with red wine and framed Julie To put it another way, the main purpose of this party is for our stepmother to force you into an engagement with Bianca I was going to let your girl tell you herself, but it seems she’s tied up at the moment.”

After that Adeline hung up. So, Elliot rushed to the hall, only to find that Kieran had already defused the situation.

When the elevator reached the first floor, Kieran walked out without looking at Julie and Elliot Julie and Elliot also exted the elevator She knew Kieran was giving her time.

Elliot grabbed Julie’s hand, his bright eyes full of anticipation as he asked, “Why did you warn me?”

“That’s what your sister wanted me to do” Julie left no room for further speculation.

After a moment of silence, Elliot gradually let go of Julie’s hand, but still asked persistently. “So you’re really telling me this not because you care about me? Not even from a friend’s perspective or a stranger’s perspective?”

“No, I just don’t like Bianca and I didn’t want her to have her way, Julie lied smoothly, showing no signs of deceit even in front of Elliot.

Although she denied it verbally. Julie’s decision to tell Ellint the news had nothing to do with Bianca Even though she didn’t love Elliot, she knew that she told him the news out of concern for him. But she chose to lie with a poker face.

Elliot stared at Julie, trying to find any flaw in her expression, but all he saw was her calm and indifferent eyes. His heart suddenly turned cold

After a while, Elliot looked at her cautiously and said, “Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I might be heading to Ray Group’s overseas branch soon Would you want me to stay?”
