Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 206

Everyone in the office was gobsmacked.

Julie was surprised herself. Weren’t her and Kieran’s relationship supposed to be a secret? When did it become so public?

Just as Julie was puzzled, Annalise took her by the hand and said, “Come, let’s go to the restroom together.”

Julie was practically dragged away by Annalise.

While dragging Julie, she complained, “Kieran is so inconsiderate. I just got off the plane…”

Annalise took Julie to the balcony, and then said to her, “I was actually coming to confront you, you know?”

She knew Annalise was referring to the matter about Hayden. She had promised Annalise that if she saw Hayden, she would definitely tell her.

The last time Julie saw Hayden was on the day she was kidnapped by Davina, but she didn’t think to notify Annalise.

Fortunately, Annalise, although looking serious, ended up patting her shoulder, laughing, saying, “It’s fine. I was just poking fun. I came mainly today to clear up some rumors.”

“What rumors?”

“The love triangle between you, Kieran, and me. Didn’t you know?” Annalise asked in surprise.

Julie shook her head in confusion, “What love triangle?”

“The news reported it, saying you’re the third party interfering in me and Kieran’s relationship, and that Kieran and I have been a couple since school. They even said you shamelessly ruined our relationship.”

As she took out her phone and said, “Someone even leaked a photo of Kieran biking me home. You were standing right in front of us. I found out that the photo was uploaded by that bitch Davina.”

While Annalise was speaking, she turned on her phone’s front camera, aiming it at her and Julie faces, saying, “Smile.”

Julie obediently smiled. It wasn’t until Annalise took the photo that Julie realized how silly she had been.

“Why did you take a picture?” Julie was confused.

Annalise posted their selfie, and the previous photo of her sitting on the back of Kieran’s bike, on Twitter.

Julie took out her phone, and saw the two photos and the text that Annalise had just posted.

“Left: Ms. Annalise and her niece-in-law. Right: Ms. Annalise and her nephew.”

This was her way of clearing up the rumors?

Annalise said, “You retweet it.”
