Chapter 44

The first time Julie laid eyes on Adeline, she was lounging around in the old Sanches family mansion, looking lazy and casual.

Their second encounter? A restaurant. After all, Julie had scratched Adeline’s car and owed her a pretty penny. She couldn’t just skip town.

So, she met Adeline at the restaurant, totally ditching the task Karl gave her and leaving Kieran hanging without a care in the world.

Adeline was a knockout. Her long, curly hair was draped around her waist, parted on the side, looking both soft and business–like. Her beautiful red lips. were slightly upturned, her eyeliner flicking up at the edges, and her eyelashes long and lush. She was wearing a tight black dress that made her look alluring and sexy. her allure radiating off her even from fifty meters away.

As soon as Adeline sat down, she ordered a couple of expensive dishes. Julie felt a pinch in her heart thinking about the price.

“Let’s not be formal. You can call me by my name since you’re a looker,” Adeline’s lips slightly curved as she looked at Julie. “You’re here about the car accident last night, aren’t you?”

Julie nodded. That morning, she had seen the repair bill Karl sent over. The cost was astronomical.

Adeline, seeing Julie’s troubled expression, laughed carefree. “I got a call last night. It was Karl, the secretary of Kieran, Simpo Co.’s CEO…”

When she mentioned that name, a deep interest flashed in Adeline’s eyes. Judging from her tone, she seemed to be more interested in Kieran than the compensation.
