Chapter 127


    Chapter 127


    After a moment of silence, Julie finally found the best way to answer Mr. Kennedy’s question.


    She quickly typed out a message on her keyboard, and Kieran on the other side of the phone received


    her message.


    She wrote, “Before you consider pursuing your ex-wife, I suggest you understand her wishes and


    feelings first.”


    Then, Julie replied again, “Mr. Kennedy, goodnight.”


    Julie quickly logged out of WhatsApp andy in bed.


    Thest words Kieran said during the video chat were still echoing in her mind. He asked her when she


    would be going home. Julie smiled faintly, but there was bitterness in her smile.


    Where was her home?


    Julie hugged her phone and curled up in the corner of the bed, falling into a drowsy sleep.

    Kieran, however, had a sleepless night.


    Although it had only been a few days, he seemed to have gotten used to the feeling of holding Julie as


    he fell asleep.


    He held the picture of him and Julie that he had snatched from Ivan, a faint smile on his lips.


    The most excited person that night was undoubtedly Ivan. He took the thickest dictionary off the shelf


    and shook it. Dozens of identical photos slid out from the pages.


    He looked at the photos with satisfaction and a mischievous smile.


    He thought Kerry was sometimes stupid. Since he dared to confront him with the photo, why wouldn’t


    he keep some copies?


    Ivan put a photo under his pillow, and then stuffed the rest of the photos into the dictionary, finally


    putting the dictionary back on the shelf with satisfaction.


    Then he went back to bed happily, patting his pillow lightly. He was already nning how to help his


    father….


    The next morning, when Ivan was dropped off at school by Noah, he had heavy dark circles under his


    eyes.


    Hayden suddenly appeared in front of Kieran. Karl was reporting today’s schedule to Kieran.


    Seeing Haydene over, Karl was surprised, “Mr. Simson?”


    “Do you need something?” If Hayden didn’t need anything, he definitely wouldn’t look for Kieran. Kieran


    knew this.


    Hayden sat across from Kieran and asked directly, “When are you going to see Joyce?”


    Although Karl was not a gossip, he now perked up his ears, curiously watching Kieran, waiting for his


    answer.


    “Are you too bored?” Kieran meant, when did Hayden have time to care about his rtionship with


    Julie?


    Hayden’s next sentence was surprising, “Julien said that if you don’t go to Oakhurst, she will go


    herself,!”


    Kieran understood. Hayden’s woman, Julien, to Hayden?


    s appearance was for Julien, not because he was interested in his private life. So how important was


    this


    Kieran looked at Hayden sitting across from him with a meaningful gaze. Hayden saw through the


    mischief in Kieran’s eyes with one nce, and said to Kieran with his eyes slightly narrowed, “Stop


    Julien from going to Oakhurst, or I’ll take Ivan to Oakhurst. You choose.”


    Kieran naturally heard the threat in Hayden’s words. He raised his eyebrows slightly, looked back at


    Karl, “Karl, get a helicopter ready for Mr. Simson to go to Oakhurst.”


    Karl thought the two men in front of him were both cunning, and neither could threaten the other. But


    since Mr. Hernandez was his master, Karl sull took out his phone, ready to pass on Kieran’s instruction.


    Hayden’s deep gaze swept over Kieran’s face, saying. “So you’re not going to pursue Joyce for now?”


    “Why the rush?” Kieran put down the newspaper in his hand and looked up at Hayden.


    It seemed that there was still room for negotiation between the two. Karl quietly hung up the phone


    again.


    Kieran stood up, walked over to Hayden and sat down, saying, “I want to give her some time to calm


    down…”


    Before Kieran could finish, Hayden’s phone suddenly rang.


    He took out his phone and pressed the answer key. Jullen’s indifferent voice came from the other end


    of the phone, “Are you at Noblewood Retreat?”


    Before Hayden could answer, Julien said again, “I saw your car at the entrance.”


    “What are you doing at Noblewood Retreat?” Hayden asked.


    Julien didn’t answer, nor did she hang up the phone. Shannon suddenly walked into the hall, carefully


    looking at Kieran and saying, “Mr.


    Hernandez, a Miss Julien wants to meet you…”


    “Let her in.” Hayden spoke.


    Julien was led into the hall by Shannon. As always, she was dressed in a crisp ck sult, her face


    expressionless.


    Kieran pointed at Hayden and asked Julien, “Are you here for me, or for him?”


    “I’m here to work.” Julien handed Kieran a folder.


    Kieran took it and opened it.


    The contents of the folder were a few photos and a USB. The background of the photos was the


    University of Zurich in Switzend, and the extremely blurry figure in the photos was immediately


    recognized by Kieran. That was…Lucian.


    Julien said, “ording to thetest news from the National Security Agency, Lucian went to the


    University of Zurich a week ago. ording to the investigation, Bertha’s sister, Cami Stewart, is now


    studying at the University of Zurich. You should have received this news earlier than us. If you’re


    willing, we can work together to catch Lucian.’


    “Work together?” Kieran said coldly. He dropped the photos in his hand, looked up at Julien and asked,


    “Why?”


    “To protect Julie. If Lucian’s purpose of going to Zurich is to find Cami, then he might already know


    that Ivan is not Bertha’s biological son. Lucian is now a dangerous man, and we both know that.


    Bertha’s cause of death hasn’t been fully investigated yet, but if her death is rted to Lucian, the next


    one he might hurt could be Julie. If you cooperate with us, we’ll support your investigation all the way


    and ensure the safety of Julie and Ivan anytime.”


    Julien stood opposite Kieran, looking at him firmly.


    At first, Julien didnt understand Kieran’s past actions. She didn’t get why Kieran would say he wanted


    to save Bertha’s child at the operation room door, nor why he ignored Julie for the past five years, but


    recently started to contact her frequently and even used every method to keep her by his side


    It wasn’t until recently that Julien figured out the truth of the past years, and then she began to


    understand Kieran’s seemingly contradictory behaviors.


    Julien stood opposite Kieran, waiting for his answer.


    However, Kieran asked, “The National Security Agency will fully support me? Do I have that much of


    power? Ms. Julien, what exactly are you guys up to?”


    Since Kieran got straight to the point, Julien didn’t beat around the bush either. She admitted to Kieran,


    “Our goal is to investigate the cause of the ne crash in that year”


    Although Julien simply exined, Kieran understood her meaning.


    She meant that the National Security Agency would fully cooperate with him to find Lucian’s


    whereabouts, but after finding Lucian, Kieran needed to cooperate with the National Security Agency to


    reveal the truth about the ne crash. Because Lucian was the only survivor of that event, and there


    was an important agent of the National Security Agency on the ne.


    Hayden turned to look at Kieran and seriously advised him, “I suggest you agree to cooperate.”


    “Going all out to protect Julie and Ivan’s safety? Does the National Security Agency have that power?”


    Kieran looked at Julien seriously.


    Julien looked at Kieran calmly. “I promise you.”


    After that, Julien handed her phone to Kieran. The phone screen disyed a flight she had booked,


    which was to Oakhurst at three o’clock in the afternoon.


    So Julien was serious. That was also why Hayden came to find Kieran today.


    Julien told Kieran, “If y


    you don’t n to bring Julie back, then I’ll go to Oakhurst right away.”


    “Safe travels.” Then, Kieran turned to Karl and said, “See them out.”


    Kieran was the first person to speak so bluntly to her.


    “So, you’re sure you don’t want to cooperate with us?” Julien asked onest time.


    Kieran turned around, “I don’t like people who beat around the bush. If you’re not going to tell the truth,


    it’s hard for me to cooperate.” When she was with Hayden, Julien felt like she had used up all her


    wisdom. There must be a reason why Kieran and Hayden could be friends. Judging from Kieran’s keen


    insight, he was not easy to deal with.


    After years of being with Hayden, the biggest lesson Julien learned was never to lie to someone


    smarter than you.


    St Julien took off the micro inte from her ear, threw it on the ground and crushed it with her shoes.


    She also took off the bug disguised as a ck earring from her ear and threw it into a mug full of water


    nearby.


    ‘Going to Oakhurst is a mission assigned to me by the National Security Agency. If Mr. Hernandez is


    unwilling to cooperate, the National Security Agency doesn’t mind using Julie as bait.”


    To be honest, the National Security Agency is threatening Kieran to cooperate with them.


    And Julien’s purpose was, “I’m flying to Oakhurst at three o’clock this afternoon. If you set off before


    three o’clock and find Julie before the National Security Agency, they won’t be able to take action


    against her.”


    So Julien is here to warn him, her purpose is to get Kieran to go to Oakhurst as soon as possible and


    bring Julie back. She had made it very clear. The next move is up to Kieran….
