Chapter 112

Why did Daphne suddenly change her previous stance?

Daphne glanced at chilien sitting across from her, swallowed her saliva, and then said to Julie on the other end of the phone, “Julie, don’t you think that things might not be as you imagine?

“What do you mean? Julie hesitantly asked Daphne She always felt that Daphne was intentionally hiding something from her

Daphne said. When I was fighting against Kieran with you, it was because I thought he was a cheating scumbag I originally thought Mr. Hernandez was a playboy who betrayed you for Bertha But if he truly did it for Bertha, then why didn’t he legitimize Bertha and their child? You’ve been divorced for five years. He could have married Bertha during this time

People can change There could be many reasons and excuses for him not marrying Bertha,” Julie said.

But Daphne continued, 1 dont think so. He’s Kieran! He could have any woman he wanted. Why does he have to stick with you every day?

Who knows? Maybe he’s sick! Julie’s indifferent voice came from the other end of the phone

Daphne covered her forehead, Julie, you might be the one who’s sick. Have you ever thought about why he’s been so kind to you lately? I think there are a lot of question marks about what happened back then. Werent you two very much in love in the first two years of your marriage? Even when you and Bertha were pregnant al the same time, the person he was always with and taking care of was you! If he really loved Bertha, how could he ignore her when she was also pregnant? Haven’t you ever thought about that?”

“Maybe it’s because he feels quilty!” Julie was silent for a long time before she replied. If he didn’t love Bertha, he wouldn’t have said he wanted to save Bertha’s child outside the operating room.

“But the one who survived was Before Daphne could complete her sentence, Julien snatched her cell phone from across the table and quickly turned it

off

It was only then that Daphne realized what she had just blurted out in her excitement. She quickly covered her mouth, her innocent big eyes wide open, stuttering. ‘Oh no, I got carried away”

Julie, on the other end of the phone, was looking at the hung up call, completely frozen.

Why did she hang up halfway through her sentence?

Julie thought about Daphne’s incomplete sentence, “The one who survived was…”

Who was it? Wasn’t it Bertha and Kieran’s child?

Julie quickly dialed Daphne’s number again, but all she heard was the busy signal.

The busy signal felt like a knife suddenly plunged into Julie’s heart, making her unable to recover

Daphne looked anxiously at Julien across the table frowning, “I almost let the cat out of the bag. What should I do? You shouldn’t have told me the truth.

“Shut up” Juliens cold gaze swept over Daphne

Daphne immediately covered her mouth

Daphne is an editor at a magazine, so the first thing she does every morning when she wakes up is to read the news. That morning, she saw a major piece of news so she couldn’t wait to call Julie a few times, but Julie didn’t pick up

Just when Daphne was about to go find Julie at Noblewood Retreal, Julien suddenly appeared at her doorstep.

Actually. Daphne had seen Julien a few times before But that was all at Flavia’s wedding

Since Julien and Flavia were twins, she had also sneakily looked at her a few times.

Daphne greatly admired Julien’s abilities as well as her cold demeanor

She never thought Julien would come to her willingly so she was stunned when she first saw Julien.

Julien, dressed in all black, said to her, “I’m here because of Julie.”

Daphne was dumbfounded, “What?”

Julien walked past Daphne and into the house

Only then did Daphne know that the female hero Julie had mentioned who had saved her in Milan was Julien

Julie always said she wanted to introduce the female hero to Daphne. She never thought that person would be Julien!

Before Daphoe could recover from this news, she heard another shocking secret. This secret was also the reason for Daphne’s change of attitude.

Knowing that she had almost let the secret slip, Daphne dared not move then.

Julien handed her phone back to her, saying. “Dont answer her calls for now. If she asks, just say you don’t know anything told you this not for you to mess things up”

“Okay” Daphne nodded repeatedly

Without saying goodbye, Julien turned and walked towards the door.

Daphne excitedly got up, gathered her courage, and asked, “Why would you tell me the truth but not tell Julie?”

Julien stopped, gave Daphne a cold look, and then said, “Because you’re unrelated to this, even if you know the truth, your life wouldn’t be in danger. I can know the truth because I can protect myself. And Julie, who is related to this and cant protect herself. If you dont want Julie to be the next Bertha, don’t

tell her the truth.”

Didn’t Bertha already jump off a building and die?

That sounded scary

Daphne quickly promised, “I guarantee I’ll help Julie and Mr. Hernandez and absolutely won’t reveal the truth!”

Julien left straight away. Daphne was still gazing at Julien’s retreating figure, lost in thought.

Such an attractive and stunning woman!

Julie had been blowing up Daphne’s phone, but Daphne kept ghosting her. The driver told Julie, “Lady, we re here.”

After paying the fare, Julie got out of the car

And she immediately wished she hadn’t.

A mob of reporters was charging towards her like a pack of wild dogs. Julie just stood there, frozen, until she was completely surrounded by reporters outside her office.

The questions came left and right, all about her relationship with Kieran.

Then she remembered Daphne’s warning, but it was too late. She was trapped

Thankfully, the security team from Simpo Co. came just in time. They formed a human shield around Julie and managed to get her safely inside the building.

Julie felt like she’d just survived a disaster. Her clothes were all messed up from the reporters yanking at her

As soon as she walked into the lobby of Simpo Co., all eyes were on her. It had been years since Julie was the center of attention, especially in this kind of mess.

She quickly fixed her hair and made a beeline for the elevator. It was rush hour and the elevator lobby was jam-packed/

People parted like the Red Sea when they saw Julie coming, making her feel even more isolated. She stood alone in the middle of the elevator lobby. feeling super awkward.

The elevator arrived at the ground floor. Julle was the first one to get in

However,none of the people waiting dared to enter with her.

The awkwardness on Julie’s face deepened

“Um… you guys can come in, Julie mustered up the courage to say.

People wore awkward smiles, but none of them got into the elevator. The doors closed, and she was the only one inside

– Jutie leaned on the elevator wall, feeling defeated. The gossip was really getting out of hand.

She pressed the button for the floor where the CEOs office was located. As the elevator doors opened with a ‘ding’, Julie pulled herself together and

walked into the office.

The chattering employees went silent as soon as they saw Julte.

Everyone stopped working to stare at Julie, who just walked in.

Julie suddenly felt like she was back in her school days, being the center of attention. Back then, everyone knew she had a thing for Kieran. As soon as she appeared, people would throw glances at her and offer information about Kieran.

Looking back, everyone must have seen her as a joke, since nobody thought she could actually win Kieran over.

But at that time, everyone was just watching her in silence, then looking over at the conference room. Juhe got it. Kieran must be in a meeting Sure enough, Tina was the first one to approach Julie, smiling, “Attorney Abraham, are you here to see Mr. Hernandez? He’s in a meeting.”

“I’m here to work, Julie responded with a smile, looking at Tina. Although she was indeed here to see Kieran, she couldn’t admit it with everyone watching. She thought that everyone’s eyes were about to engulf her.

Tina didn’t call her out, just nodded with a smile.

Just as she was about to head to her office, one brave soul asked. “Attorney Abraham, are you and Mr. Hernandez really like what they say in the news?”

Immediately, everyone started buzzing. They all started moving towards Julie, curious.

Julie suddenly felt like a monkey in a zoo with all the onlookers.

“Are the employees at Simpo Co. really this nosy?” she thought
