Chapter 291
Julie hadn’t expected that in this critical moment, someone would step forward to save her life. Even
more surprising was that the savior turned out to be Zenith.
After herst trip from Sycamore Vige, Julie had given Zenith’s nail clip to Dn, who had it tested.
The results were exactly as Kieran had suspected. But neither Julie nor Kieran believed the test
results.
Due to Julie’s unexpected kidnapping, they hadn’t had a chance to confront Zenith yet.
But they hadn’t expected Zenith to suddenly appear and save Julie.
When Zenith pulled Julie towards him, the inertia caused Julie to fall onto him.
Arge crowd had gathered around, asking if Julie and Zenith were hurt. Some even captured the
thrilling moment on their phones and posted it online.
Julie quickly got up from Zenith and reached out to help him up, but he ignored her hand and got up
himself.
Zenith was wearing a white shirt. He bent over and picked up his ck coat from the ground; he had
been holding it when he fell. Because he had fallen on his elbow, it was bleeding now.
“Your arm…” Julie looked at Zenith’s arm apologetically.
Zenith just nced down and said to her without much emotion, “I’ll send the bill to Simpo Co. You’re
lucky you ran into me today.”
He didn’t seem interested in further conversation with Julie. He picked up his coat and prepared to
leave.
Julie grabbed Zenith’s arm, “You’re hurt. I’ll take you to the hospital.”
“No need,” he shrugged off her hand and rejected her offer, but he smiled and said, “Tell Mr. Hernandez
that he owes me one.”
Jesse had already parked the car in front of Zenith and opened the door for him.
Zenith got in the car and left Julie on the roadside.
Raines rushed to Hawthorn Lane, where Julien was sitting on a motorcycle, her long legs looking even
longer in this position.
Next to her stood a young man, his expression a little aggrieved, but he didn’t dare defy her.
“Ask him forpensation,” Julien tossed the motorcycle keys to Raines.
Raines caught the keys, puzzled, “Compensation? For what?”
“This woman!” The owner of the motorcycle looked at Raines, who seemed easier to talk to than Julien,
so he quickly approached him and pointed at Julien with a wronged face, “I was just going to refuel my
motorcycle today. I was riding well, but suddenly, this…”
Julien red at the motorcycle owner, who swallowed hard, and didn’t dare to say ‘Woman’ again,
“Thisdy came and took my bike, pushed me to the ground, look at my knee, the skin is all scraped off
…”
“How much did the motorcycle cost?” Raines asked.
He felt more and more that this woman, Julien, was getting used to calling him around. All thanks to the
young master’s spoiling!
When Julien returned to the scene, she saw Zenith getting in the car and leaving, while Julie was still
standing there, looking a bit shaken.
Julien got off the bike and saw blood on Julie’s sleeve. Her brows furrowed and she carefully pulled at
her arm, “Are you hurt?”
Julie finally noticed the blood on her sleeve and shook her head with a smile, “I’m fine. Howe
you’re here, Julien?”
“Passing by,” Julien exined simply before asking, “Was that man Zenith?”
“More like Lucian…” Julie murmured to herself.
“Are you sure you’re not hurt?” Julien asked.
Julie shook her head and waved her arm to show she was fine.
“I didn’t catch him,” Julien said regretfully, then looked at Julie with a serious gaze, “I take you home.”
“I’m fine,” Julie pointed at the Simpo Co. building across the street and told Julie, “I need to go over
there.””
Raines, who had just arrived following the car’s GPS, saw Julie and Julien standing together
Julien nced at Raines, tossed him the keys, and said, “Take off your coat.”
Raines was defeated by Julien. He took off his coat and handed it to her.
Julien was about to put it on Julie when she saw the frustrated look on Raines’ face andughed. She
patted Julie on the shoulder and said with a smile, “Let’s give Mr. Raines’ coat back!”
She took the coat and handed it back to Raines with a smile, “Thanks.”
Ignoring the curious gazes, Julien finally brought Julie to the CEO’s office of Simpo Co.
Tina, the secretary at the door, stood up immediately when she saw Julie, “Mrs., Mr. Hernandez just
went into a meeting, he should be busy now, should !…”
There’s no need, I’ll wait for him in his office. Once his meeting is over, just let him know,” Julie said
with a smile after bidding goodbye to Julie.
Tina quickly got a ss of juice and brought it over to Julie.
Julie took the ss with a smile, and Tina left the room.
Julie had assumed Kieran’s meeting would take a while, so she settled into the plush armchair in his
office, ready for a quick nap. However, as soon as she had closed her eyes, the office door was
pushed open abruptly.
Kieran rushed in, looking rmed and scrambling towards her. Julie stirred, slowly rising from the chair.
Kieran squatted down in front of her, his hands trembling slightly as he gently held her shoulders, his
brows furrowed in concern. “Where are you hurt?” he asked. Julie blinked in surprise, then reached out
a hand to caress Kieran’s face, a smile ying on her lips. “I’m okay. Your meeting ended already? I
thought Tina said you
just started?”N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.
Kieran delicately removed Julie’s hand from his face, his eyes fixated on the bloodstain on her sleeve.
“Tina mentioned she saw blood on your sleeve when serving you apple juice. What happened?”
Following Kieran’s gaze, Julie looked at her stained sleeve. Now she realized why Kieran had rushed
over so quickly.
She told him the whole incident, even showing her uninjured arm by rolling up her sleeve to reassure
Kieran.
Upon seeing Julie’s unscathed, delicate wrist, Kieran finally rxed. However, his attention was quickly
drawn back to the blood-stained sleeve.
“So… this is Zenith’s blood?” he asked, his eyes narrowing.
Realization dawned on Julie. She quickly removed her coat and held up the blood-stained sleeve. “Yes!
It’s Zenith’s blood. I saw it with my own eyes, fresh blood dripping from his elbow. It’s impossible for it
to be fake!”
She pulled out her phone with excitement, dialing Dn’s number while talking. “Now Zenith can’t fake
it like he did with the fingernail, right? Once the blood test results are out, we’ll know if Zenith is actually
Lucian!”
Kieran gently stroked Julie’s head, pulling her into his embrace, trying to calm her down. His gaze
deepened as he held her, as if she were a precious gem.
At the hotel, Zenith sat on the couch, a first aid kit on the coffee table. Bruce was tending to his
wounds, his eyebrows furrowed in concentration.
Zenith was holding a phone, a voice on the other end was distorted, “You saved her?!”
Although it was hard to identify the caller, the anger and betrayal in the voice were unmistakable,
sending chills down Zenith’s spine.
“I told you, her life is mine. If she has to die, it will be by my hands!” Zenith’s voice was filled with
suppressed rage.
Bruce understood that Zenith was trying to control his emotions.
“I saved your life, not for you to disappoint me,” the voice on the other end was emotionless.
“Only those who have tasted heaven can truly suffer in hell. So how could I let her go to hell without
sending her to heaven first?” Zenith’s voice grew sinister. The caller seemed satisfied,ughing before
saying, “Don’t disappoint me,” and then the line went dead.
Zenith clenched his fist, smashing his phone into the coffee table. The screen shattered instantly, and
fresh blood seeped through the bandage on his elbow. Bruce frowned, specting, “Could it be that
they already know you saved Emily? Is that why they attacked Mrs. Hernandez?”
Zenith remained silent for a moment before tossing his ruined phone to Bruce. “Get the car. We’re
going to the hospital.”
At Tranquil Care Hospital, Zenith had just arrived when he heard a familiar voice. His call to Professor
Fred hadn’t even connected yet, but he looked up.
At the entrance stood Lisa, holding a ck umbre, speaking softly to Kyle, “Mr. Kyle, we can’t get in.”
Kyle…
A wave of dark emotions washed over Zenith. He disconnected his call and started walking towards
Kyle.
