Chapter 92
Chapter 92
Julie didn’t expect Karl to join her in the break room. While making coffee, she casually asked, “Karl, do
you want a cup of coffee?”
“No need, no need.” Karl frantically waved his hands. After all, this cup of coffee was worth a hundred
bucks, way too extravagant for him.
Julie nodded, immediately noticing Karl’s ufortable look. She then asked him, “Karl, is something
bothering you?”
Birds of a feather flocked together Kieran was a shrewd and cunning man, and his wife was equally
sharp, seeing right through him.
Karl nodded awkwardly and said to Julie, “I’m not feeling well today I was nning to go to the hospital
after work, but Mr. Hernandez has ast minute
dinner to attend”
Julie quietly listened to Karl’sment. She was actually quite grateful to Karl, who had been very kind to
her in the past. Even though she couldn’t help him now, she was still willing to lend an ear to his
comints
Seeing that Julie didn’t dismiss him, Karl continued, “Attorney Abraham, you know Mr. Hernandez’s
temper. If I just find some random woman to apany him, he won’t let me off the hook”
Julie had a hunch that Karl was about to ask her to apany Kieran. Sure enough, Karl pretended to
have a sudden realization and turned his gaze to her. ‘Attorney Abraham, so…
“Karl, I have to go home and look after the kid tonight,” Julle responded with a smile.
Karl’s half-spoken words got stuck in his throat. Of course, he knew that the kid Julie had to look after
was Kieran’s son.
Julie took the coffee she had made and walked away. Karl thought she was going to take it to the
office, but instead, she walked over to Tina and handed it to her. “Can you do me a favor? This is Mr.
Hernandez’s coffee.”
Tina was a colleague of Karl’s, so it was perfectly normal for her to help deliver the coffee.
Julie wasn’t worried about Tina overthinking the situation. After all, she had no control over what others
thought.
Although Tina was a bit confused, she took the coffee and went to Kieran’s office.
Karl, clutching his stomach, spoke to Julie, “Attorney Abraham, I just need someone to join him for
dinner. Is it really impossible? I’ve already made an appointment with the doctor”
Despite Karl’s pitiful look, Julie was firm and said, “Karl, maybe you should ask Mr. Hernandez for a
day off He can’t possibly let his only trusted Secretary work while being sick.”
“Trusted secretary” Julie’s words certainly had a hidden meaning Wasn’t she implying that Karl and
Kieran were in cahoots?
Finally, he reluctantly nodded and said, “You’re right. I did push you. Thanks, Attorney Abraham. I will
exin the situation to Mr. Hernandez myself. I just don’t understand what Mr. Sanches’ intention is in
inviting Mr. Hernandez to dinner”
Karl’s words were loaded.
However, Julie only noticed “Mr. Sanches.” Who else could Mr. Sanches be but Elliot?
Over the past two weeks, while she was hurt, Elliot had been the most proactive in contacting her. But
in the past few days, he had suddenly gone quiet. The reason being-
One day, Elliot found out through some channel that she was taking care of Ivan. He assumed that the
child was Kieran’s and Bertha’s and called her. “Attorney Abraham, Kieran hurt you so deeply Has your
scar recovered already?”
Julie was puzzled at the time How could her wounds heal so easily? The scar that Kieran left her would
never heal.
But Julie calmly asked Elliot, “Which scar are you talking about?”
“Kieran chose between your child and Bertha’s, letting Bertha’s child live. Now that Bertha has died,
you are helping her raise her child. What are you thinking?” came Elliot’s angry voice from the other
end of the phone.

Julie finally understood. Elliot thought Ivan was Kieran and Bertha’s child, so he thought she had gone
mad.
Julie should have cleared up the misunderstanding, but she knew there was no future for her and Elliot.
Elliot was stubbornly refusing to give up, which would inevitably hurt him.
So she didn’t exin but said, “Elliot, maybe I am mad. I was crazy for him years ago. I’m a woman
who’s willing to give up all principles for a man. I’m not worth your love.”
Before Julie could finish, Elliot hung up the phone. For several days after that, until now, Elliot hadn’t
called again. Instead, he had taken the initiative to invite Kieran for dinner.
When she heard Karl’s words, Julie immediately felt something was wrong.
Suddenly, Julie, who had firmly refused to be Mr. Hernandez’spanion before, called out to Karl,
who was about to walk away, “Karl, you’ve made an appointment with the doctor, right?”
Karl nodded, looking at Julie excitedly. “Attorney Abraham, have you changed your mind?”
“Karl, go get your check-up after work. I hope you get better soon, Julie said with a smile.
Although he didn’t understand why Attorney Abraham suddenly changed her mind, Karl felt his life was
suddenly looking up, so he rushed to tell Kieran. However, Kieran just coldly said, “Congrattions,
you get to keep your eyes.”
So i seemed that if he couldn’t convince Attorney Abraham, Kieran would poke him in the eye. The
thought made Karl feel terrified, and he decided to duck from sight whenever he saw Attorney
Abraham.
After work, Julie followed Karl’s guidance, walked to the underground parking lot, and waited next to
Kieran’s car.

Kieran came down by a private elevator and saw Julie standing by his car door as soon as he got out.
He looked straight past Julie, opened the car door, and got inside, then told the driver, “Head to the
Starlight Haven Hotel”
It seemed he intended topletely ignore her
Julie knew the car door hadn’t been locked yet, so she quickly opened it and said, “Mr. Hernandez,
Karl’s at the hospital for a check-up, I’m here to apany you instead.
Instead of Karl?” Kieran interrupted her, looking at Julie standing by the car door. His handsome face
was hidden in the darkness, but his contours were even more clear.
Julie thought for a moment and then nodded.
“My next n was to take Karl to sleep at the Starlight Haven Hotel, do you want to substitute him?”
His maic voice echoed in the car
Julie knew he was probably joking, but she couldn’t help but crack a smile. Then she got into the car.
She said coldly. “Didn’t realize Karl offered that kind of service”
Afterwards, she said to the driver in a friendly manner, “Austin, you better watch out.”
Austin was speechless for a moment. He had been driving for Kieran for over ten years and never
expected Julie to have a better sense of humor after the divorce than when they were married.
Austin’s mouth twitched.
On the way to Starlight Haven Hotel, Kieran remained silent. Julie felt the atmosphere was too
oppressive, so she took the initiative to speak, “We have a court hearing tomorrow. I’ve already
submitted your written application. There’s no need for you to appear in court. We’ll demand
compensation from Creative Nexus Media for viting your representation rights, reputation rights, and
privacy rights. Once the court decisiones out, all newspapers and online news outlets under
Creative Nexus Media will publish rification and apology statements to you in the most conspicuous
ces.” “Do you usually deal with business after work, Attorney Abraham?” Kieran suddenly spoke
after Julie finished speaking.”
Was Kieran implying she didn’t separate work from personal life?
Julie never thought about exining this matter, so she simply replied, “Sorry, Kieran, I’m that kind of
person who can’t separate personal stuff from work. Make sure you hire someone who can in the
future.”
“It’s okay, people who can’t separate work from personal life are also good, Kieran said meaningfully,
then turned to Julie. “Do you know who you’re meeting at the Starlight Haven Hotel?”
“Elliot might have misunderstood. He might have mistaken Ivan for your son and thought I was helping
you and Bertha raise a child. Julle deliberately paused midway, knowing Kieran was smart enough to
understand her meaning.
Indeed, Kieran immediately understood and said, “You are really smart, using me as a cover to reject
your first kiss.”
He really was a man who could hurt without reservation. Just one phrase, “first kiss, was enough to
make her heart hurt.
Julie was silent, looking out the window, choosing to remain quiet
“Did you ept?” Kieran’s voice was slightly provocative.
Julie turned her head. “You are telling the truth. I have nothing to refute.”
“Should I cooperate with you in front of Elliot?” He raised an eyebrow, asking her.
Julie responded calmly, “No need, I’m used to it. I don’t need you to deliberately cooperate, I can
handle it myself
The car stopped at Starlight Haven Hotel.
Kieran originally nned to walk to the car door and gentlemanly open it for her, but Julie opened the
car door herself and got out. As she opened the car door, Kieran happened to be standing in front of
her. When Julie got up, her head bumped into Kieran’s chin.
She was about to reach out and touch her head, but Kieran had already reached out and stroked her
long hair. “You’re so clumsy, don’t you know it hurts?” His doting tone was like a thick fog that wouldnt
dissipate.
Julie looked up in surprise, only to see Elliot, frozen, standing behind Kieran.
