Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 237

Kieran’s guess was correct, and although the men he sent follow Kyle’s whereabouts, they ended up with no information.

Aside from meetings with company staff and partners, Kyle was holed up in his hotel all the time. Kieran and Julie were left in the dark.

At Opulent Skyline Suites, Kyle was lounging on a big leather couch, legs crossed, cradling a gray laptop. He asked Lisa, “Are Kieran’s guys still here?” in a chilly

tone.

“They’re still downstairs.” Lisa answered, “Mr. Kyle, do we need to get rid of them?”

“No, did you get any results on what I asked you to look into?” Kyle asked.

Lisa nodded, “Mr. Hernandez has been in touch with Professor Fred lately.”

Fred was a world renowned neurosurgeon who had focused on comatose cases for nearly 30 years. Ten years ago, he had a grisly car accident, causing him to lose both his legs. The incident hit him hard, and he’d been in therapy ever since. It wasn’t until two weeks ago that he got back on the horse. Before the accident, Fred successfully woke up several patients from a vegetative state using modern treatments and some unique methods.

Kieran reaching out to Fred was likely due to Sansa.

“Does Julie know about Kieran contacting Fred?” Kyle asked.

Lisa shook her head, “Mr. Hernandez probably didn’t want to give Ms. Abraham false hope, so he didn’t tell her until he was sure Fred could help Sansa.”

“Get in touch with Fred.” Kyle simply said, then got up and left.

Lisa was always good at reading people and understanding their thoughts. Most of the time, she could get what Kyle was driving at, even without a detailed explanation.

But this time Kyle asked her to contact Fred, which made Lisa feel a little confused. “Mr. Kyle, do you mean you want Professor Fred to turn down Mr. Hernandez’s request?”

Kyle glanced back at her, his gaze icy.

After a while, he said, “No, we want him to take Kieran’s request, but…”

He beckoned Lisa over, then whispered something in her ear.

After hearing him out, Lisa turned and left.

Not wanting to disturb Kieran’s work, Julie went straight to Feliz Gastro House after leaving the hospital.

Once Kieran wrapped up his work and grabbed his coat to head to Feliz Gastro House, Karl knocked on his office door.

“What’s up?” Kieran opened the door to see Karl standing there.

“Professor Fred’s assistant called. They’ve agreed to your terms. The Professor will be flying in tonight and wants to meet with you for dinner tomorrow to discuss, the details.” Karl said.
