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

Chapter 119

It took Julie about thirty seconds to process Julien’s words before she stammered out, “How did you know about Bertha…?”

“I also know about your ex-husband, Kieran. I found out after I came back to the country,” Julien added.

At first, Julie was surprised, even a bit incredulous. But knowing Julien’s capabilities, it wasn’t too far-fetched for him to know these things, so she didn’t press further.

Looking at Julie, Julien asked, “Do you think Bertha could’ve committed suicide?”

Julie frowned and asked, “What do you mean?”

“Describe what happened the day Bertha jumped off the building,” Julien commanded, not sounding like he was asking or requesting.

Julie had always been honest with Julien. She didn’t tell him about Kieran, not because she wanted to hide it, but because she figured Julien was busy with other things and wouldn’t have time for her trivial matters.

So, when Julien asked, she answered truthfully. “I got a call to deliver coffee to Noblewood Retreat. As I was about to leave, Bertha fell from the building. I was sitting on my motorcycle and fainted. When I woke up, Kieran told me Bertha had passed away.”

“So, you didn’t see Bertha jump?” Julien inquired.

Julie shook her head. Then, as if remembering something, she looked up at Julien and said, “After Bertha jumped, I saw a shadow on the rooftop. I think it was a person, but my mind was all over the place, so I can’t be sure.”

Julien nodded, “Anything else suspicious?”

Julie shook her head, “No.”

Julie paused before asking Julien, “Why are you suddenly investigating Bertha’s death? Didn’t the police rule it as suicide?”

“Do you trust me?” Julien asked suddenly, looking at Julie sternly.

Julie didn’t hesitate; she trusted Julien.

After all, she had saved her life before. But her sudden question left her puzzled.

“So, should I trust you?” she asked back.
