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

Chapter 167

Since it was Julie’s request, Noah didn’t hesitate a bit to rip open the courier package, revealing a beautifully wrapped purple box inside. “Keep going,” Julie urged.

Noah opened the purple wrapping, revealing a delicate black velvet box that looked pretty fancy.

It reminded him of a ring box.

Julie glanced at Kieran, as if asking if he had anything to do with the package. After all, apart from Kieran and Elliot, no one else had ever presented her with a ring. And her name was clearly written on the box.

But Kieran just shrugged and said, “Anonymity ain’t my style.”

Well, figures…

A guy like Kieran, confident and unapologetic, when he gave her a ring, he’d put it directly on her finger, leaving no room for refusal.

While Julie and Kieran were talking, Noah had already opened the box.

Inside, there was a stunning ring.

The very emerald they had seen at the auction earlier that day.

After being stunned for a moment, Julie laughed and said, “Who’s so boring to send a fake over.”

“There’s a certificate of authenticity,” Noah held up the gem certificate to the camera.

Julie glanced at it and chuckled, “They’ve done a good job, even prepared a fake certificate.”

She casually teased, looking at Kieran with a playful smile, but his expression was serious. Her smile froze…

Kieran was usually confident, rarely showing such a serious look. Did this mean…

“What is it?” Julie asked hesitantly, “Wasn’t the ring bought at the auction? That can’t be the real one, right?”

She was partly asking Kieran’s opinion, partly comforting herself that it must be a fake. After all, who would spend 9 million dollars on an emerald ring for her…

But Kieran’s expression seemed to suggest the ring wasn’t a fake.

Instead of answering, he dialed a number on his phone.
