Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 269

At Harmony Hillside Homes.

When Kieran and Julie arrived, Julien was arranging flowers in the living room.

It was surprising to see Julien, who usually excelled at martial arts, showing a knack for flower arranging. As they entered, they saw Hayden sitting on the couch across from Julien.

“The origin of flower arranging art lies in people’s love for flowers, expressing a kind of artistic conception through still life to experience the reality and brilliance of life. Now look at what you’ve arranged,” Hayden pointed at the pot of flowers arranged by Julien, his tone icy.

Upon entering, Julie saw a chaotic, cluttered mess. It was less flower arranging and more like shoving stems haphazardly into a pot. It was not a pleasant sight.

The arranger Julien, however, looked impatient at Hayden, “You asked me to arrange flowers, so I did. If you’re not satisfied now, I can remove them.”

With that, she reached out to pull out the flowers.

But Hayden stopped her, grabbing her wrist, “So you think you’re so great now, huh?”

“I am your pawn. You can throw me away, let alone scold me.” She pulled her wrist from his grasp, then noticed Julie and Kieran.

She turned to grab some documents to hand to Julie, “This is all the information on Zenith. In short, Zenith is clean, hardworking, ambitious, a graduate of a prestigious university, with no bad records, no stains on his life, and no suspicious activities.”

Julie opened the file and began to review it with Kieran.

Zenith was born and raised in Sycamore Village. He attended elementary and middle school there, then went to the renowned Whispering Pines High School for high school. Later, with a full scholarship, he was admitted to the Johns Hopkins Medical University. He met Fred during a lecture at the medical school, followed him to Veridia to develop his career, and became Fred’s proud disciple.

It was said that Fred and Zenith had a dispute over a paper on awakening vegetative patients. Rumors circulated that Professor Fred plagiarized Zenith’s theory, but Zenith, unable to fight back, was blacklisted by Fred. However, Zenith had personally accepted a written interview with a newspaper, clarifying that he had unilaterally decided to give up being a doctor.

Later, with Fred’s financial support, Zenith established Zenith Group, which specialized in crisis management for companies. Then, as everyone knows, the team under Zenith Group became the gold medal team, and Zenith, who had never been seen, became the chairman.behind Zenith Group.

His background was impeccably clean, indeed, they could not find any flaws.

But Julien said, “The more flawless the lie, the harder it is to expose, but it also raises more suspicion.”

Hayden stood up and said to Kieran, “Zenith’s parents died when he went to university, leaving only a blind grandmother at home.”

“If you think Zenith is suspicious, I’ll go to Sycamore Village tomorrow,” Julien said.
