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

Chapter 150

The moment “Mr. Lionel” was mentioned, everyone’s gaze shifted towards the direction Daphne was pointing at. At first, everyone thought Daphne was just trying to cause a distraction, but when they turned and looked, Lionel was actually standing in the jewelry

store across the street.

Next to Lionel was a woman wearing a blue cloak. She was tall and even from a distance, you could tell she was stunning.

They stood in front of the diamond ring counter, looking pretty close, like old friends.

The last time Mr. Lionel was caught up in some juicy gossip was with his manager, Albertine. But in the end, she tied the knot with the well–known director, Babur Farrell.

Before clarify his relationship with Albertine, Mr. Lionel was always at the center of the rumor mill. Be it an Oscar–winning actress or a supermodel, if he was in the picture, gossip was bound to follow.

But sadly, ever since he and Albertine called it quits, there’s been no more gossip about Mr. Lionel. He seemed to have turned a new leaf and stopped hobnobbing with female celebrities and models. He also seemed more focused on work.

Even at press conferences, he wanted more attention on his work. People all thought he was just being discreet about his love life, but no matter how much the media dug, there were no leads.

After a long scandal–free streak, who would’ve thought Mr. Lionel would show up in public with a woman, and while shopping for diamond rings, no less!

All the reporters dashed towards Lionel, completely forgetting about Daphne, who was their original target.

Daphne also followed the reporters. Just a few days ago, she had worked her butt off to get an exclusive interview with Mr. Lionel about his love life. The magazine interview hadn’t even been published!

If Mr. Lionel’s going public with his relationship now, then what was the point of the interview?

This might even jeopardize Daphne’s potential promotion.

Thinking about that, Daphne regretted impulsively giving the media a scoop about Lionel. Who knew he was here to shop for a diamond ring with a woman!

Like a detective, Daphne bought a baseball cap and a large shawl to disguise herself so that she won’t get recognized by the reporters. She then followed the reporters into the jewelry store.

The woman who appeared with Lionel in the jewelry store was classy. At first glance, Daphne recognized her.

It was Katie, a multi–talented actress who had worked with Lionel years ago. Because of their movie, The Mythical Dragon Whisker, fans gave them the nickname Kitty&Lion.

Back then, some people speculated that they fell in love during filming, but Lionel had dated many women afterwards, and he never publicly admitted being with Katie.

Looks like they’ve been in a low–key relationship all this time!
