Love’s Cunning Ruse ( Mr.Kieran And Julie )

Chapter 180

Davina’s got a remote in her hand, hooked up to a tiny time-bomb strapped to the rope binding Julie. All it’ll take is one click of that button and boom! The bomb detonates, rope snaps, and Julie takes a plunge.

We’re talking a good dozen meters up. A fall from this height, Julie’s either a goner or she’s looking at some serious injuries.

Davina’s gripping the remote like her life depends on it, staring down Julie like a hawk, “Ever watched someone you love die right before your eyes?”

She lets out a hearty laugh, her face twisted into a cruel smile, “You’re about to find out! Kieran’s on his way. You’re head over heels for him, right? You’ll know what it feels like soon enough!”

Despite Davina pushing her to the edge, Julie, tied up and all, keeps her cool.

“Davina, we’re both law students. You know what you’re doing has consequences, Julie said, her brows furrowed in concern. “Is it worth it? You’re throwing your future away. What’s going on between us doesn’t worth destroying both you and me…”

“Shut up!” Davina snatches a gun from a guy standing nearby, pointing it straight at Julie. “If it weren’t for your parents, my dad wouldn’t be in prison; my mom wouldn’t leave him and take me to Veridia. If it weren’t for you, Rankin wouldn’t be dead! This is all on you! You started all this!”

“Your father… is Latham Field?” Julie’s jaw dropped.

A few years back, Darcey took off with a bunch of cash, Padgett died of a stroke. Julie and Kieran were newlyweds. Sansa Abraham got into a car crash chasing after Darcey, and was fighting for her life in the hospital. The Abraham family was on the brink of bankruptcy. Kieran even had to handle Padgett and Darcey’s funerals. Julie spent her days by Sansa’s side, refusing to accept that she was practically a vegetable.

It wasn’t until later that she found out her dad was involved in smuggling. The cops tracked down the smuggling gangs, and the Field family got caught up in the mess. The media only reported on Latham, keeping his family out of the limelight as they weren’t involved in the smuggling or embezzlement.

Julie only connected the dots today when Davina brought it up.

Being tied up like this, Julie didn’t exactly expect Davina to let her down easy.

So she fired back at Davina, “The person responsible for your dad’s prison sentence is himself. Smuggling and drug dealing are serious crimes!”

“If it weren’t for your dad, my dad wouldn’t have resorted to smuggling and embezzling!” Davina’s clearly lost her marbles, spitting out words filled with years of resentment.
