Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 184

When Kieran heard what Julie had to say, he let out a rare chuckle.

Something seemed to cross Julie’s mind and she asked Kieran, “The dead guy earlier…”

“The one tied up in the factory. Their mouths were sealed so we didn’t notice them during the rescue,” Kieran explained.

A frown creased Julie’s forehead as she thought about the two kidnappers. They were going to let her go, weren’t they?

“So how did you escape?” When Julien forcefully yanked her out of the factory, the bomb only had two minutes left. How did Kieran manage to get out in such a short time?

If the bomb expert was successful, why did it still go off?

Kieran recalled the situation at the time. He thought he was a dead.

With a minute and a half left to the explosion, the bomb expert had no other choices. Any move Kieran made with his bulletproof vest on could trigger the explosion.

Unable to stop the timer, the expert could only try to disable the bomb’s stabilizer. With forty seconds left, he finally managed to remove Kieran’s vest.

Since they couldn’t stop the explosion, Kieran had no choice but to ditch the vest and run. The expert and Kieran were closest to the side door, so he dragged the expert out through there. When the bomb went off inside the factory, everyone at the front door didn’t see Kieran come out, so they naturally thought something had gone wrong…

Kieran briefly explained the whole story without going into much detail, but it was still enough to give Julie a heart attack. She couldn’t imagine what would’ve happened if Kieran hadn’t escaped….

Knowing what Julie was thinking, he gently pulled her into his arms, his large hand gently patting her back to comfort her.

He leaned down and planted a tender kiss on her forehead.

Before they could enjoy this sweet moment, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside…

Harding walked in, followed by a nurse. Seeing Kieran and Julie’s actions, he awkwardly cleared his throat, then he asked in a friendly manner, “Do you need me to step outside and knock again?”

Kieran stood up, vacating the spot next to Julie so the nurse could come over and give her an injection.

Julien, holding a contract in his hand, appeared in the room and handed it to Kieran, “This contract is void.”

It was the stock transfer contract Kieran had signed with Davina. Harding was quite surprised when he saw Julien outside the factory. Now, they finally had the chance to have a proper chat, “I heard Flavia mention you a couple of days ago, but I didn’t expect you to be in town.”

“Have you and Mr. Watson returned from your honeymoon?” Julien rarely showed such interest in other people’s personal lives.

Harding was speechless.

Daphne was back to her normal self. Now, she was excitedly watching Harding. As a magazine reporter, she really…had a soft spot for this kind of gossip.

Julie also became curious. After all, the idea of Harding and Mr. Watson, two attractive men, together was inarguably intriguing. Especially since Julie often heard
