Chapter 145


    Chapter 145


    J was being so stubborn, and they were at City Hall, a formal ce, Julie had been here more than


    once, and there were two uniformed cops standing guard at the entrance.


    Theoretically, in such a ce, with cops around, it should be impossible for any scams to happen.


    Moreover, even if it was a scam, it wouldn’t be just to trick a useless divorce certificate.


    When Julie signed, she clearly saw the official seal. If this agreement to confiscate the fake certificate


    had any ulterior motives, using a forged seal would be pointless, as forging seals itself is a serious


    crime.


    So, without much thought, Julie signed her name.


    The main reason was that J’s behavior was somewhat suspicious, so Julie asked to see the


    agreement again after signing.


    But, an employee took the agreement away directly.


    J looked at Julie and said, “Rx, why would we want your divorce certificate? The police will


    investigate whether this fake certificate is yours. Just go home and wait for the notifications!”


    “I’d like to see the agreement I just signed…”


    “Oh my God, aren’t you the one who had the illegitimate child mentioned in the newspapers?” a couple


    who were registering their marriage suddenly pointed at Julie, saying excitedly.


    Julie frowned, “Illegitimate child? Me?”


    The woman realized she had misspoke, so she awkwardly stuck out her tongue and said, “…that’s


    what the news said, a cunning woman of the 21st century, trapping men with an illegitimate child…”


    “Illegitimate child? Men?” Julie looked at the lively woman, seeming a bit confused.


    “You know, Mr. Hernandez from Simpo Co! You’re the woman from the news, right?” The girl excitedly


    spoke, pulling out her phone and handing it to her boyfriend, “Look, it’s her, she looks identical in


    profile!”


    “May I see?” Julie asked.


    The girl readily handed her phone to Julie, and then turned to her boyfriend, “Didn’t you see the woman


    in the news? Don’t people in yourpany gossip, aren’t there any inside stories?”


    “You know I’m just an electrician, in charge of maintenance. How could I have ess to corepany


    matters! But there are definitely rumors, I was just a stepte yesterday, otherwise I would have seen


    the woman in the picture…” The man hadn’t finished speaking when Julle handed the phone back to


    the woman.


    “Thank you.” After saying that, Julie turned and walked towards the exit.


    She was leaving behind the clueless couple


    J watched Julie’s retreating figure leave through the front door, then turned and went upstairs.


    At a window-side seat on the second floor, Kieran held the agreement Julie had just signed. He


    nced down at Julie, who was pulling out her phone and walking towards Karl’s car.


    Julie stood by the car door and had a few words with Karl.


    Unable to persuade him, she took out her phone again and fiddled with it for a while.


    Kieran’s phone rang, it was Julie calling.


    He nced at the name on the screen, then hung up.


    Dn came over and took the divorce agreement from Kieran’s hand to have a look. There was Julie’s


    signature and a clear official seal on it, Dn tsked, “Kerry, you’re tricking her into marriage!”


    “You’re in on it too.” Kieran took the agreement back from Dn, took the pen J handed over, and


    elegantly signed his name at the bottom of the agreement.


    Tina stood behind Kieran. She never thought that Attorney Abraham and Mr. Hernandez had such a


    rtionship. Until this morning, when Mr. Hernandez suddenly called Tina, “Get the documents from


    the lounge locker, and bring them to the City Hall entrance before


    ”


    Tina was very surprised at the time, she didn’t expect to have the chance to go into Mr. Hernandez’s


    lounge, which was thought a privilege only Karl had.


    Tina would definitely not tell Kieran that she had long thought Karl was Mr. Hernandez’s true love….


    “But, Mr. Hernandez… I don’t know the password to the lounge and drawer.” Tina said softly.


    So, Kieran told Tina the passwords for both the lounge and the drawer.


    Tina thought there would be some important documents in the drawer, but she didn’t expect to find just


    a divorce certificate.


    ertificat


    A divorce certificate!


    Tina suddenly realized. She remembered that Mr. Hernandez had announced at the Ray Group’s


    cooperation banquet that he was married, but no one had found any clues about Mr. Hernandez’s ex-


    wife for so long, so everyone thought it was just a joke from Mr.


    Hernandez.


    Shocked, Tina brought the divorce certificate to the City Hall before 8:40 as instructed by Mr.


    Hernandez, only to see Mr. Hernandez talking with the staff member, J.


    And their conversation was about… trying to get Attorney Abraham’s divorce certificate back and


    having Attorney Abraham sign the remarriage agreement.


    Mr. Hernandez really went to great lengths to remarry Attorney Abraham.


    Kieran reached out to Tina, and Tina immediately handed over all the relevant documents for the


    remarriage to Kieran.


    Kieran handed all the documents to J, “Complete the procedures within 20 minutes, before Julie


    realizes what’s going on.”


    “…Mr. Hernandez, isn’t this a bit rushed…”


    “Yes, it is a bit rushed, but if Julie realizes it early, all our efforts will be in vain. So, pleaseplete the


    remarriage procedures in 10 minutes.” He ordered, then politely added, “Thank you for your hard work.”


    J looked pale as she took the documents and left.


    Her boss never told her that being the director of City Hall also meant dealing with personal threats!


    Dn pondered for a moment before responding to Kieran, “You really have no shame.”


    Kieran looked at Dn, his eyes deep, and a smirk ying on his lips, “Are you begging for trouble?”


    Dn was speechless.


    Forget about it, he’s no match for this cunning fox, Kieran.


    Dn looked at Kieran and said, “I didn’te here to join you in your mischief, I came to see if there’s


    anything I can do to help.”


    What Dn referred to was the fact that all major news websites had made Kieran’s illegitimate child


    the headline news of the day. The reason he asked Kieran if he needed any help was that the rise of


    the Pierson family was due to their control over news websites.


    Even though Dn didn’t take over the family’s news industry, opting to be a forensic scientist


    instead, he still had a say in it as a member of the family.


    With just a word from Dn, the news about Kieran’s illegitimate child could be removed from the top


    of the search rankings on the biggest news website.


    However, Kieran shook his head, “It’s toote to retract it now.”


    With that, he took out his phone and dialed Julie’s number.


    Julie seemed to be waiting for Kieran’s call, so she answered quickly.


    “Where are you? Weren’t you supposed to be waiting for me at the City Hall?” Kieran asked casually.


    Julie nced at Karl, who was driving them to Noblewood Retreat, then responded to Kieran on the


    phone, “I’m on my way back to Noblewood Retreat.”


    Then Julie asked, “I called you just now, why didn’t you answer?”


    “Oh? Did you? I must have identally missed it,” Kieran replied nonchntly.


    Julie bluntly said, “You should hold a press conference to rify our rtionship to the public.”


    “What’s our rtionship?” Kieran’s voice came from the other end.


    That question instantly kindled Julie’s long-suppressed anger.


    “Why don’t you tell me what our rtionship is? Weren’t we both at the City Hall together? Didn’t we


    sign the divorce certificate face to face? And the divorce agreement, we got one each, right? So why


    did the City Hall staff tell me today that my divorce certificate is fake? Does that mean your divorce


    certificate is also fake?”


    Compared to Kieran, Julie might not be as intelligent, but she’s definitely not stupid.


    “Kieran’s suggestionst night for her to investigate at the City Hall indicated that he had known what


    would happen today. In other


    words, all of this was likely tied to Kieran.


    With that realization, Julie felt enlightened.


    She immediately told Karl, “Turn back to the City Hall!”


    She asked Kieran on the phone, “Are you at the City Hall now?” 2/3


    This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    Kieran didn’t answer. It seemed his wife Julie wasn’t as clueless as he thought.


    “What did I sign?” Julie questioned angrily.


    However, Kieran’s voice came across the phone, calm andposed, “As a licensedwyer, you


    signed without knowing what it was. Should Imend you for that?”


    “You tricked me!” Julie’s voice raised a few notches.


    A yful smirk appeared on Kieran’s lips, he responded without a moment of hesitation, “Hmm, seems


    like it.”


    Julie was speechless.


    “Do you want to kill me to keep me quiet?” Kieran asked in a seemingly benevolent tone, but it was


    clear he was provoking her!


    “Kill you?” Julie’s icy voice didn’t hide her anger, “I want to rip you into pieces!”


    “Well, I’m going to die anyway. How about you let me choose the method?” Kieran’s voice came


    through the phone.


    Julie didn’t want to ask Kieran how he wanted to die because she guessed he would probably say he


    wanted to die in her bed.


    So this time, Julie smartly didn’t let him provoke her. Instead, she retorted, “Kieran, wait for me at the


    City Hall. I need to settle the score with you! If you’re a real man, don’t run!”
