Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 259

When Kieran set his mind on something, not even Amanda could stand in his way. Currently, Kieran was holding onto Amanda’s arm, showing no signs of letting go. His determination and confidence clearly indicated his resolution to stand his ground against Amanda.

Amanda and Kieran were watching at each other. In such a situation, Julie found herself at a loss for words and hence chose to remain silent.

Finally, Amanda relented, turning to Basil and saying, “Go get it.”

Basil returned with a black box, which contained an ordinary looking recording pen.

Amanda took out the recording pen and handed it to Kieran.

Kieran pressed the play button, and a voice came out. The voice had been altered, and the message was for Amanda to return home and take every opportunity to train Julie, as well as keep Julie indoors as much as possible.

Amanda said, “At first, I didn’t take it seriously, but after hearing this recording and finding out from Noah that Joyce had been kidnapped, had to believe it. With all the incidents that happened afterwards, it made me return home after Basil sorted things out.”

“Where did this recording come from?” Kieran questioned.

Amanda replied, “The day Basil accompanied me to the hospital for a full-body check-up, we found this recording pen on the desk when we returned.”

Basil pointed at the recording pen and said, “We’ve had professionals analyze the recording, but the technology is too advanced for us to find out the original voice. Amanda worried that you would be concerned, so…”

“Have Basil take grandma to rest,” Kieran instructed Basil.

Amanda held onto Kieran’s hand, “Kieran, I’m a bit uneasy. You mentioned before that Lucian is still alive, so I can’t help wondering, since he’s still alive, why hasn’t he come back? You’ve been searching for so many years and haven’t found him, could it be…”

“He is alive, and we already have some leads. You rest first, and I’ll take this recording to get it authenticated, see if we can figure it out.”

After Basil helped Amanda to retire, Kieran promptly handed the recording pen over to Payne.

Payne worked through the night, and just as the morning light graced the sky, he arrived at Noblewood Retreat.

Julie was woken up early in the morning by Bolt for training, with Kieran watching from the sidelines. Suddenly, Payne stormed into the room.

Seeing Payne’s dark circles under eyes, Julie was taken aback.

Grandma couldn’t take any more shocks. If they didn’t have definite news about Lucian, they didn’t want to disappoint her. After confirming that the voice in the recording was indeed Lucian’s, Payne couldn’t help but wave his hand, “I can’t take it anymore, my eyes must look like a panda’s by now.
