Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 277

“Safe travels, come back alive, so you can die by my hand,” Hayden ended the call.

Julien was about to approach Hayden to discuss the mysterious man in black, when he suddenly turned around and asked, “Do you like flowers?”

Taken aback, Julien hesitated at the entrance of the room before turning around to leave.

“Stop!” Hayden’s commanding voice echoed from behind.

Julien stopped in her tracks and turned to him, “I don’t answer personal questions.”

“What do you want to say?” The topic of flowers was seemingly closed between them.

“I found Simon, the first in line to inherit the Fitzgerald family fortune, his private jet took off twenty-three hours ago, on a domestic flight path, but lost contact midway. I can’t locate the specific landing spot,” Julien reported.

“Vacation,” Julien replied. “I figured out the charitable donation. Simon initiated it, intended for global special cases, specifically for typical difficult diseases and targeted cancer patients.

“Do you believe that?” Hayden asked Julien with a meaningful look.

With that, he calmly left the study, leaving Julien standing alone.

After a while, Raines returned to the study to look for Hayden, but finding only Julien, he casually asked, “Where’s the young master…?”

“Get out!”

Taken aback by Julien’s outburst, Raines was surprised. However, he knew better than to argue and promptly left.

“Wait,” Julien called out to Raines before he could leave.

Raines stopped reflexively.
