Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 229

The van came at high speed, straight in Julie’s direction. Julie reacted quickly and immediately took Ivan in her arms. When the van was only about fifty meters away, it turned on its high beams.

Julie couldn’t evade in time and could only instinctively protect the kid in her arms.

At the eleventh hour, a black Bentley Mulsanne zoomed in from the parking lot. It was aimed straight for the van. The sound of the Bentley Mulsanne accelerating echoed in Julie’s mind. The van, which was only ten meters away from Julie and Ivan, was suddenly knocked into a nearby telephone pole by the Bentley

Mulsanne.

The friction between the tires and the ground caused dazzling sparks. The shrill sound traveled through the air to Julie’s ears. The van was knocked to the side by the Bentley Mulsanne with a loud bang. Then, both cars came to a halt.

The severe impact triggered the Bentley Mulsanne’s airbags, protecting Kieran’s head.

Still in shock, Julie quickly picked up Ivan from the ground and shouted towards the Bentley Mulsanne, “Kieran!”

Holding the child, she didn’t even get close to the car when the van suddenly revved up, dragging its battered body towards the river.

“Kerry!!” Ivan pointed at the Bentley Mulsanne.

Kieran unbuckled his seatbelt, pushed away the airbag, and got out of the car.

The front of the car was deformed. He got out and saw à stupefied Julie and Ivan, letting out a deep sigh of relief. He quickly ran to them, checking them with concern, “Are you guys okay?”

Julie quickly shook her head. It was then that she noticed Kieran’s arm moving stiffly, so she put down Ivan and hurried to grab Kieran’s hand.

“Ouch…” he sucked in a breath.

“Did you hurt your arm?” she frowned.

Kieran, however, suddenly extended his other arm and tightly embraced her.

Ivan, scared, also clung to his leg. Kieran dropped a passionate kiss on Julie’s forehead, then quickly took out his phone to call the police.

The police arrived quickly at the scene and immediately dispatched people to salvage the van that had just fallen into the river. The police searched extensively, but

in the end only the van was retrieved, and the van driver who had fallen into the river was not caught.

Karl was notified and came to handle the aftermath. Noah also rushed over and took van home. Then, despite Kieran’s protests, Julie took him to a nearby hospital.

Luckily, his arm was not seriously injured, just a strained muscle.
