Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 146

Hearing Julie’s heated tone, Kieran on the other end of the phone couldn’t help but grin

He seemed to be reminded of the vivacious Joyce Abraham, the one who would point her finger at him and order him not to leave school whenever she got mad

Julie, filled with rage, stormed back to the City Hall, where Kieran was indeed waiting for her.

As soon as she entered the City Hall, she was ushered into the staff break room by Tina

Tina seemed to admire and respect Julie even more now

Julie saw Kieran sitting on the sofa, being waited on like a VIP by the staff.

Without saying a word, Julie went straight up to him, grabbed his collar, and demanded, “Where’s my divorce certificater

“It was changed,” he replied calmly, apparently undeterred by Julie’s outburst.

Julie paused for a moment. “It was changed? What did you change it to?”

‘This one.” Kieran pulled out a marriage certificate and handed it to Julie.

The big words ‘Marriage Certificate‘ clearly indicated their married status. The couple photo on it was the same one they had used years ago, and they didn’t look much different now

The certificate also specifically marked “Remarried.”

Julie was probably too angry to speak. Her face was flushed, and she remained silent for quite a while.

Dylan had planned to stick around for the drama but was shooed away by Kieran before Julie arrived.

Kieran remained calm. He told Tina, “Clear everyone out and close the main door. No more entries/Julie’s here to settle scores with me, and I don’t want anyone else to hamper her performance.”

Julie stared furiously at Kieran, helplessly watching as Tina cleared the room.

Once the door was shut, Julie finally found her voice,

“Do you know that deceiving someone into marriage is illegal?” She finally blurted out.

“Are you going to sue me then?” He asked.

Kieran’s eyes were deep, and his lips slightly parted. His calmness seemed innate.

Sometimes, Julie felt utterly helpless dealing with Kieran. Like right now.

Yes, deceiving someone into marriage was illegal. But was she going to actually sue Kieran for this? Then she would be the real fool!

So, Julie took a deep breath and looked at Kieran, “I won’t sue you. Let’s just get divorced again. Kieran, I’m not the Joyce from eight years ago, I don’t want to marry you.”
