Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 185

Chapter 185

Between the two questions, Daphne found the first one easier to answer.

*Julien called me today asking where you were. Lord Lion and Mr. Sanches are good buddies, so Lord Lion gave Mr. Sanches a ring too…”

“Hold on. How did Julien’s call to you get to Mr. Lionel?” Julie cut in.

Daphne shot Julie a stern look: “Still want to know how I saved your ass?”

“Alright, go on.” Julie said.

Since the IV drip would take a while, she had time to listen to Daphne’s story.

Daphne recounted the whole story.

In reality, when Dylan and Payne figured out the vehicle the suspect might have used, one of the locations was close to Daphne and Lionel’s, the Enchanted Pathway factory. Worried about Julie, Daphne took it upon herself to go there. Lionel had no choice but to follow her, unless he planned on knocking her out cold.

In the end, Daphne had to promise Lionel she wouldn’t act rashly, even if Julie was really in the factory. Only then did Lionel, while contacting Kieran, follow Daphne to the factory.

As a public figure, Lionel’s life was worth a pretty penny, so even if captured, he wouldn’t be in immediate danger. If Julie really was in the factory, Lionel could notify Kieran before getting nabbed. Besides, the cops were on their way, so Lionel dared to take the risk with Daphne.

Turns out, Julie was indeed in the old factory. As planned, Lionel sent a message to Kieran, while he and Daphne kept a close eye on the situation with

binoculars.

It wasn’t until the cops arrived that Davina’s people split into two groups to keep them away from Julie’s location. Lionel and Daphne were ready to make a break for it when Hayden’s crew showed up. As the rope snapped, Daphne and Lionel were conveniently at the closest point.

So, they quickly grabbed the rope and saved Julie.

Even though Julie was now safe and sound in her hospital bed, the story still gave her the chills.

Daphne looked at Julie and said, “You owe me big time! Next time my mom sets me up for a blind date, you have to cover for me.”

“I’m still curious about you and Mr. Lionel…”

“Oh, that was a nightmare!” Daphne looked at Julie bitterly, “I never should have agreed to that magazine’s invitation to interview him. That’s where my misfortune began!”

Seeing Daphne’s bitter face, Julie couldn’t help but laugh, “How did it become a tragedy? Mr. Lionel is handsome and talented…”
