Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 231

Julie suddenly realized she didn’t know a thing about Kyle, the guy who was nearly her brother-in-law, and she didn’t really know Sansa either.

Looking back, she noticed that Sansa always had her back whenever she was in a jam, but she never really had a heart-to-heart about Kyle with her.

Even when the whole Abraham Group was going belly up. Sansa still managed to set Julie up with Kieran. Although she was using Kieran, she was always looking

out for her sister.

These thoughts sent Julie into deep contemplation.

Kieran knew what was going on in Julie’s head. He put his arm around her, pulling her close, “We’ve still got a ways to go before we reach Noblewood Retreat. You can take a nap. I’ll wake you when we get home.”

Julie leaned on Kieran’s shoulder, closed her eyes and began to speak slowly, “The news said that the president of S&J International Law Firm went abroad this time to set up a new office here. If he’s in love with Jessica, why would he shell out big bucks to buy Sansa my mother’s ring?”

“That depends on whether he knows Sansa is in a vegetative state now.” Kieran’s words left Julie somewhat puzzled.

All she knew now was that no matter what happened in the future, she had to face it bravely.

Maybe it was due to the lack of sleep the previous night, Julie dozed off unknowingly.

On their way home, Dylan whispered, “Bertha once said that Lucian bears a grudge against Julie because he thought you were forced to marry her and that she ruined your happiness. But now, you and Julie are always so lovey-dovey, both in public and in private. He must know that if he watches the news. So why would he still want to get rid of Julie? I mean, if tonight’s van was really targeting Julie…”

“Before we puzzle over that, shouldn’t we also ponder why he’s reluctant to come back to us?” Kieran, holding Julie in his arms, asked Dylan.

Dylan found this question very reasonable and nodded in agreement, “If he really survived the plane crash by sheer luck, why wouldn’t he acknowledge you, his only kin?”

“And before we ponder that, shouldn’t we also wonder how a person could possibly survive a plane crash like that?”

Dylan exclaimed excitedly. “Exactly! How did Lucian, who’s disabled in both legs, survive that plane crash? There’s a lot of suspicion there!”

But no matter how many questions there were, as long as he was still alive, all the questions would eventually be answered.

Dylan smoothly parked the car at the entrance of Noblewood Retreat.

Kieran said, “It’s kinda late now. You can crash here for the night.”

Dylan nodded, then got out of the car to open the door for Kieran.

Julie was sound asleep. Even when the car had stopped, she didn’t open her eyes.

“Do you need to wake her up?” Dylan asked.
