Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 125

Hayden turned to look at Julien silently.

Julien was not a woman to shy away from eye contact, so they stared at each other as the scenery outside the window whizzed by. Finally, it was Julien who broke the silence. “If you don’t want to spill it, that’s cool”

If she wanted to get the truth about something, she could totally dig it up herself. It was just faster to get the answer from Hayden.

However, to Julien’s surprise, Hayden broke his silence and unexpectedly replied, “If Kerry had planned to save Bertha’s kid from the start, Ivan wouldn’t be alive today”

That was the last thing Hayden said, without any further explanation. As for the rest, perhaps only Kieran himself could clarify

But Julien was puzzled. Given the tight bond between Lucian and Kieran, why would Lucian fake his death?

Even though confused, Julien didn’t ask Hayden any more. She just let the silence linger in the carriage.

Simpo Co. reception room.

Porter never thought that Julie would resign so firmly, who threw in her resignation letter as the first thing in the morning. When he tried to call Julie again, her phone was disconnected.

So, Porter thought of confirming it at Simpo Co. He got a definite answer from Karl, “Attorney Abraham has submitted her resignation this morning.”

“Do you know where she is now? I’ve been trying to reach her all morning but no dice. I can’t get through to her! Porter felt guilty towards Julie, because if it weren’t for his insistence, Julie would never have signed that contract.

He speculated that Julie’s resignation might be related to the rumors flying around lately. He knew that back in their school days, Julie was crazy about Kieran. All things considered, it was he who got Julie into this mess

Feeling guilty, Porter came to Simpo Co. to find her. But more importantly, he was afraid that the penalty for breaching the contract would fall on his shoulders after Julie left.

So, his top priority now was to find Julie.

But what he didn’t expect that Karl gave him a cold glance and said, “Mr. Hernandez’s intention is for you to just approve Attorney Abraham’s resignation. As for the rest, Mr. Hernandez will handle it.”

Upon hearing Karl’s words, Porter finally got it. Mr. Hernandez didn’t want him to meddle in this matter.

Porter glanced at Karl tentatively, cautiously asking. “And the penalty…

“Attorney Abraham will pay it all.” Karl answered.

Porter finally felt relieved. He thanked Karl with a flattering smile. Thanks! I’ll get on with approving her resignation right away.”
