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

Chapter 177

At Lavender Club.

Adeline was fuming, glaring at the two trembling men before her and cursing them out. “You guys are completely useless! I asked you to kidnap a woman and you couldn’t even manage that!”

Elliot gave Adeline a glance, furrowing his brows. “Just what the hell happened?”

This was certainly unexpected.

The two men had a pretty solid plan. One of them pretended to be a janitor, knocked Julie out, and stuffed her into a cleaning cart before wheeling her out of Simpo Co. The other guy was supposed to meet him at the door.

Next, they were supposed to deliver Julie to Adeline, but on their way, a sedan appeared out of nowhere and blocked their path. Two armed men got out of the car.

Their job was just to bring Julie to Adeline. They never signed up to kill anyone, let alone face armed guys. So, to save their own skins, they ditched Julie. Elliot had suspected from the get-go that Adeline was behind this. That’s why he came to her first, instead of explaining everything to Kieran Hernandez. Now they were in a real pickle. They had no idea who the two men that appeared out of nowhere were. But one thing’s for sure, it was quickly spiraling out of control.

Adeline knew how serious this was.

Frowning, she dialed Kieran’s number.

Twenty minutes later, Adeline and Elliot arrived at Simpo Co. They weren’t alone. Dylan was with them.

After listening to Elliot’s side of the story, Dylan turned to Adeline, clearly unhappy. “I just finished dealing with a suicide case. Are you trying to keep me busy?”

Although this wasn’t Adeline’s intention, she knew she was the one who started all this. So, she kept quiet, letting Dylan chastise her for once.

Elliot informed Payne Hernandez about the location where the kidnappers grabbed Julie. Payne was reviewing the traffic department’s surveillance footage. Just like the two men had said, Julie was taken by two masked men, one tall and one short.

Having seen the footage, Kieran was already on the phone with the police. “Yes, that’s correct. Two men, one tall, one short. The tall one’s about 174 cm, the short one’s around 168 cm. I’ll send you the footage right now…”

Payne sent the suspects’ snapshots to the police station.

Dylan, still not entirely convinced, asked Kieran, “Could it be…”

Dylan suspected Lucian Hernandez, but didn’t voice his suspicion. Kieran knew what he meant.

The room fell silent, save for the clicking of Payne’s keyboard.
