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

Chapter 70

Karl mistakenly thought Kieran was off to pick a fight with Mrs Hernandez, so he tailed after him. He feared Mr. Hernandez would lose his cool and scare Mrs. Hernandez away. But to his surprise, Kieran just went out to have lunch, then headed to a bakery and ordered a small orange–flavoured cake.

Next, he delivered the cake to Julie in the name of Daphne.

After they left the bakery, Karl was ready to drive Kieran back to the office, but Kieran asked him to get out of the car, “Go back to the office and let Julie clear out storage room number four to use as her office”

“What?” Karl was stuck at the car door. Was he asking Mrs. Hernandez to clean the storage room herself? Wasn’t he still pampering her yesterday? What’s with the sudden change of attitude today?

Karl looked at Kieran, puzzled But Kieran’s car was already gone.

He had no choice but to return to the office and, per Mr. Hernandez’s instructions, told Julie to clean storage room number four.

Julie didn’t object. She was more accustomed to this than Kieran’s sudden intimacy.

Lunchtime was approaching. Julie had already arranged to have lunch with Porter, so she had to put aside cleaning the storage room temporarily

She arrived at the restaurant where she’d arranged to meet Porter. As soon as Porter ordered, Julie said, “Mr. Porter, does our contract with Mr. Hernandez mention a penalty for breach of contract?”

Porter, who had just picked up his fork, paused, “Why do you ask?”

“How much would we have to pay Kieran if we switched lawyers? Julie asked directly.

Porter was so startled he dropped his fork, “What’s the matter with you? It’s clearly written in the contract that if you quit on your own, you have to pay. the full penalty, which is three times the remuneration!”

“What?”

Porter, emotionally charged, sat next to Julie. This case is simple, just a common news infringement case. With Mr. Hernandez’s status, winning this lawsuit is a piece of cake. You really don’t need to chicken out. Do you think the bonus I gave you is not enough?”

“It’s not about that.” Julie decided to be honest with Porter, “I thought I could stay by his side without any reservations, but now I realize I was wrong.”

I’ve always wanted to ask you something “Porter looked at Julie hesitantly.

Julie gave Porter a sideways glance, “Go ahead.”

*Mr. Hernandez publicly admitted at the Ray Group dinner that he had an ex–wife. If I remember correctly, you disappeared after graduating from college. I’m wondering, Mr. Hernandez’s ex–wife is?”

“I know her.” Julie had already predicted what he was going to ask. He would surely keep asking if she didn’t answer him; if she admitted it, she wasn’t sure if she could trust Porter.

So, she chose an ambiguous answer. That should shut Porter up.
