Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 291

Julie hadn’t expected that in this critical moment, someone would step forward to save her life. Even more surprising was that the savior turned out to be Zenith.

After her last trip from Sycamore Village, Julie had given Zenith’s nail clip to Dylan, who had it tested. The results were exactly as Kieran had suspected. But neither Julie nor Kieran believed the test results.

Due to Julie’s unexpected kidnapping, they hadn’t had a chance to confront Zenith yet.

But they hadn’t expected Zenith to suddenly appear and save Julie.

When Zenith pulled Julie towards him, the inertia caused Julie to fall onto him.

A large crowd had gathered around, asking if Julie and Zenith were hurt. Some even captured the thrilling moment on their phones and posted it online.

Julie quickly got up from Zenith and reached out to help him up, but he ignored her hand and got up himself.

Zenith was wearing a white shirt. He bent over and picked up his black coat from the ground; he had been holding it when he fell. Because he had fallen on his elbow, it was bleeding now.

“Your arm…” Julie looked at Zenith’s arm apologetically.

Zenith just glanced down and said to her without much emotion, “I’ll send the bill to Simpo Co. You’re lucky you ran into me today.”

He didn’t seem interested in further conversation with Julie. He picked up his coat and prepared to leave.

Julie grabbed Zenith’s arm, “You’re hurt. I’ll take you to the hospital.”

“No need,” he shrugged off her hand and rejected her offer, but he smiled and said, “Tell Mr. Hernandez that he owes me one.”

Jesse had already parked the car in front of Zenith and opened the door for him.

Zenith got in the car and left Julie on the roadside.

Raines rushed to Hawthorn Lane, where Julien was sitting on a motorcycle, her long legs looking even longer in this position.

Next to her stood a young man, his expression a little aggrieved, but he didn’t dare defy her.

Julien tossed the motorcycle keys to Raines.
