The Vows of Deception Chapter 13: Becoming jealous and angry
Two were unbuttoned, but she could see the man's excellent physique. Beyond his top was a muscular chest; she could tell that his toned body was every girl's dream.As the man was about to start unlocking the third button, Julia quickly spoke to stop him."Stop it! Who said I wanted to look at your body too? I'm not interested!" She denied everything. If it weren't for the calm and restrained expression on the man's face at that moment, Julia would never have suspected that the man was deliberately playing with her.'No interest.' These words have to some extent, damaged Jared's self-esteem. In short, she just stepped on his ego.His brother, Shiloh, had always told him that many wealthy ladies wanted to climb onto his bed. However, even given that fact, he never looked at them. He just felt disgusted.However, the woman standing before her uttered with her mouth that she wasn't interested in him."You think my body's just so-so?""What?" Julia blinked and did not expect Jared to ask

After seeing those words on the screen of his monitor, Carter's eyes widened in surprise.He would have never expected that the one behind his current dilemma was Julia. His jaw protruded, and his gloomy demeanor echoed all over. But in the end, he answered his phone."Did you do it?""Yes," Julia admitted without remorse."You–" Carter's angry fingertips trembled, "Do you know hacker J?""Not familiar; it's just that I was lucky enough to have helped him once before."She knew about hacker J! Why hadn't she mentioned it to him before? He gritted his teeth in anger."You are sophisticated! What more are you hiding!" His words were full of disdain and sarcasm."Silly little Carter, I just helped him one and promised him not to say I knew him to others. It's just right that I keep it a secret, right? Besides, who has no secrets? Just because you were my fiancé before, I must tell you everything, right?"Every word that came out of Julia's mouth left Carter speechless.And Julia was stil

There was a moment of silence before Julia replied honestly, "Yes.""What's going on? I can't believe Carter apologized to me!" He exclaimed and glanced at the man, Carter, with uptightness, almost like he did not want to look at him.He could not fathom the thought that Julia could make the CEO of the impressive Ross Group apologize."There's a long story behind that, Conrad. I was just lucky after helping someone, so..." She halted, not knowing the following words to say to her brother.Thankfully, their topic shifted to another, and they chatted about another thing before they finally decided to hang up the phone. Julia stood by the window and glanced out.It had been days since she stayed at that villa. At that time, Jared and Shiloh were out, so she could freely roam around and investigate the situation.She was planning that in mind, but unexpectedly, an unexpected guest arrived at the villa as soon as she came out of her room."Is she the one who married Jared?" The girl in an

The man slowly bent down, his arm retracting from her knee, and then he embraced Julia tightly. Her pupils dilated as she found herself gazing into his handsome face, a mix of surprise and uncertainty washing over her. It was an unexpected move, considering his usual distance from women.Jared's proximity had always been a mystery to her, a puzzle that seemed to click into place after that day she had confronted him. She suddenly realized the key reason behind his avoidance of women – her ability to heal Shiloh's leg. It became evident that his compliance in the past was largely due to his desperation for her medical skills.Julia pondered the situation, realizing the need to maintain a delicate balance. She couldn't push him too far and risk crossing a line that would lead to her expulsion. And now, as he carried her upstairs, her astonishment grew. It was an act she hadn't anticipated.While these thoughts swirled in Julia's mind, Jared's voice cut through the air, commanding his as

Jared's words hung in the air, casting an unexpected tension over the room. Joseph's forehead glistened with beads of sweat as he watched the scene unfold.Caught off guard, Julia blinked in surprise, her mind struggling to process the meaning behind Jared's inquiry. Why was he asking her this now?Before she could collect her thoughts, Jared swiftly rose from his seat, retrieving a cup of hot water and extending it to her. It was a simple gesture, but one that left Julia slightly befuddled by his sudden change in behavior.Julia sipped the water, her gaze fixated on Jared as she attempted to decipher the intentions behind his actions. "Why... are you suddenly caring about me?" she asked, her voice tinged with curiosity.Jared's expression remained composed, but a hint of something indiscernible flickered in his eyes. "You've jumped to conclusions," he replied, deflecting her question. He stood up, his tone cool. "Rest up. Once you're feeling better, provide the treatment for her leg.

Jared stood up, his attention ensnared by the mesmerizing sight that materialized before him. A vision of elegance and allure descended the staircase, captivating him with every step. The girl before him was a breathtaking transformation from the casual appearance he had grown accustomed to. She wore a black off-shoulder dress, adorned with intricate lace details that traced the curve of her collarbone. The alluring expanse of her neckline, punctuated by a delicate beauty mark, held an enchanting allure.The dress cascaded gracefully down, revealing a high slit skirt that showcased her legs like those of international supermodels. Her snowy skin stood out against the backdrop of the black fabric, an ethereal contrast that enhanced her beauty. The once-tousled hair had been transformed into luscious, slightly curled locks that framed her face. Her transformation from girl-next-door to enigmatic enchantress left him spellbound.Jared's unconscious rise from his seat betrayed his reactio

Carter's scrutiny shifted to Jared, an unspoken challenge exchanged between the two men. His gaze lingered, attempting to discern the identity of the man who had seemingly materialized out of thin air.As the intensity between Carter and Jared lingered, Julia deftly deflected Carter's scrutiny. Her words dripped with disdain as she dismissed his accusations. "Believe what you want, Carter. If you must know, my husband is standing right here."Carter's skepticism remained unshaken, his doubts manifesting in his cynical laughter. "Do you really expect me to believe this charade? Is he a hired model or some random farmer you've conjured up to provoke me?"Julia's eyes rolled in exasperation, her patience wearing thin. "Congratulations, Carter. Your narcissism knows no bounds. Just so you're aware, I'm very much married to him."As she leaned into Jared, she brought her lips close to his, bestowing a light kiss. The audacious act was a calculated move, aimed at further stoking Carter's je

Julia's eyes blinked open, a gasp escaping her lips as she found herself trapped within Jared's proximity. Bewilderment painted her features, her thoughts echoing in the aftermath of her shock. Why was he so close, invading her personal space with an intent that mirrored a lover's desire?Yet, her musings held a rational thread. The idea of Jared harboring romantic inclinations towards women seemed far-fetched, a notion defying his station and appearance. Surely, if his heart inclined towards the fairer sex, he would have forged relationships, perhaps even fathered children.Jared's countenance bore a shadow, a cloud of melancholy darkening his features. Had it not been for Joseph's intervention, he would have triumphed, tasting the sweetness of her lips. "What's the matter?" Julia inquired, her voice laced with curiosity, unaware of the tumultuous thoughts swirling within Jared's mind.Joseph, too, grappled with an unsettling mixture of emotions. Nervously, he stammered, "Mr. Scott o

Lost in her thoughts, Julia absently muttered to herself while her fingers unconsciously typed a sequence of characters on the keyboard."Still incorrect," Julia grumbled, displaying a slight pout. Lost in her task, she had been hoping that Jared might use her birthday as the password for the safe."What else could it be?" Julia mused, her determination unwavering as she remained convinced that the Little Jade Buddha was hidden within the safe. She understood that the process would involve eliminating possibilities one by one, and she was prepared for the challenge.However, just as Julia was about to make another attempt, her focused concentration was abruptly shattered by a voice echoing from the living room. Instantly, her movements froze, and she listened intently, her expression morphing into one of heightened vigilance."Dah, dah, dah—" The sound of heavy leather shoes ascending the stairs grew nearer and nearer. Could it be Jared returning? The measured gait ruled out the possi
The Vows of Deception Chapter 119: You Don't Want to Divorce Me in This Life!
'I'm leaving!' Is it vital to state it so definitively?Julia came to realize that the current situation wouldn't be resolved with ease. With this understanding, she turned her head to gaze at Jared. His visage bore a disdainful expression, lips forming a stern, unyielding line of ice.Though Jared remained silent, Julia could intuit his emotions at that moment.Taking a deep breath, Julia directed her attention back to Yannie. "Are you pushing your own son to the brink? Since his early twenties, he's borne immense burdens alone. He protected you, even contending for the Patriarch position in the Brooks family against his uncles. Have you ever heard him utter a complaint? Does his silence imply ease?"Jared's icy facade softened, his gaze momentarily unfocused as he looked at Julia, an unexplainable shift in his eyes.Frowning, Yannie regarded her son. She was intimately familiar with his resolute and decisive nature. Jared never voiced his suffering to others. He struggled with sever
The Vows of Deception Chapter 118: Forcing Julia to Divorce
With what Yannie said, Julia thought, 'Ah, this is the one.'A frown creased Julia's brow. If Yannie was in such a hurry to push for her divorce from Jared, and if her deduction was accurate, there was a high chance that Cameron had meddled in the affair. Julia needed to devise a foolproof plan with her unmet objectives, and the divorce still needed to be in motion.However, before Julia could formulate a solid strategy, Jared's voice echoed in her ears."You can take the money back. I won't divorce her," Jared's firm words resounded, causing Julia to turn her gaze toward him swiftly.Following Shiloh's lead, he added, "Burning bridges behind us, Mom, is this really necessary? Julia did her best to mend my leg. You can't just dismiss her on a whim. She hasn't done anything wrong."Jared further asserted, "Even if she had, it's a matter between us as husband and wife. I should bear any consequences.""Absolutely, what my brother says is right!" Shiloh chimed in, supporting Jared's stan
The Vows of Deception Chapter 117: Do You Like It?
Julia fixed her gaze upon Jared, her eyes widening as he effortlessly removed his attire. With each layer he discarded, his strong upper body was gradually revealed to her. Although he held the position of a businessman, Jared's bodily strength could easily match that of the most accomplished agents in their alliance. With extensive exposure to high-society circles, his physical form emitted an air of aristocracy that effortlessly garnered the respect and admiration of those in his vicinity. His presence could compel anyone to instinctively show deference, a harmonious combination of polished physique and dignified comportment that irresistibly attracted women, much like moths drawn to a flame.Although Julia's emotional connection to Jared was lacking, she couldn't help but appreciate the "magnificent mountains and rivers" before her. His awareness of her unwavering gaze pleased him, a satisfied smirk playing across his lips."Do you find it appealing?" Jared's question caused Jul
The Vows of Deception Chapter 116: Coaxing a Man
When Julia heard that word escape his mouth, she could feel how the pressure in the room became heavier and how coldness brewed in the air.Seeing his face etched with disregard and coldness, she could not help but recall what happened earlier. When she chased after Alexander rather than staying with Jared, she realized that he must be that angry to act this way now."You must be mad," she uttered between their silence.However, the man didn't speak and just looked away from her, refusing their eyes to meet.Once again, the living room became quiet. From where Shiloh was standing, he could see what was happening. Jared seemed like a king disregarding his servant, who was willingly waiting for a reaction from him.The more the silence provoked, the more Julia thought that it would be better if she let his anger subside first. "Then I'll go first."After that chilly encounter, she turned around and walked towards the door. Julia's head was hurting, thinking of how to coax the man tomor

The drink ran down Julia's throat as she raised her head and faced Alexander with a serious expression. They were still sitting beside each other after the long explanation."Make do? I can't give you that, Alexander. Aside from marriage being such a major event so does settling with someone just for convenience. If I did that with you, I would be irresponsible to you."Upon hearing those words from her, Alexander glanced at Julia with seriousness and bitterness on his face combined."Then boss, why don't you like me?"She sighed and frowned before raising her hand to caress his chin. After seconds, she turned to look directly into his eyes again."Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"Alexander opened his mouth, hesitated briefly, and decided to face reality."Tell me the truth." He had waited for that moment for a long time, and he knew he was mentally prepared already. Staring at Julia's mouth, he waited for her to open it and anticipated her following words."Okay, the truth is
The Vows of Deception Chapter 114: Surprise! Was caught by Jared
Upon seeing the scene before him, Henry took a sharp breath.Without seeing Jared's face now, he could already foresee the man's terrifying expression because of the cold air radiating from his direction.Looking down at Alexander, Julia's eyes shifted to where Jared was standing. He was at the door, and the moment she set his eyes on the man, she felt her heartbeat becoming faster.Their circumstances made her feel a déjà vu as if she was caught in bed with someone. However, she quickly shook those thoughts off her head. The scenario in her head was not like her at all.Right then and there, Jared's face darkened to an extent, and the atmosphere around him was covered with immense anger."Julia!" He uttered her name as he gritted his teeth.Her eyes widened. Julia did not waste time and quickly explained, "It's not what you think it is! He and I are just friends.""Boss? Who is he? Do you know him?" Alexander stood up and glanced at Jared with gloomy eyes.The main reason for Alexand

Joseph's jaw dropped while his eyes dilated."Boss, this is—"Jared interjected, "You can go and buy it."When he heard it again, no words could get out of Joseph's mouth.Without saying anything, Joseph marched out of the office with his bitter expression painted on his face. He thought, 'How can I apologize to my girlfriend?'As Joseph started to have a headache about how to solve it, he suddenly heard Jared's voice behind his back."After you buy it, you need to arrange it, and you can get off work," Jared clarified.Upon hearing that, Joseph's eyes brightened, and his heart was filled with joy."Thank you so much, boss!" Joseph thanked him while smiling ear to ear. "I hope you can achieve your wishes today too."Jared waved his hand while Joseph went out the door and left sensibly.At the same time, his cell phone vibrated, and he got a reply from Julia.'Male.'At first, Julia thought to reply she was visiting a woman, but she recalled Jared had asked her the same before, but was
The Vows of Deception Chapter 112: Prepare a Surprise Valentine's Day for Julia
"Julia would bring that role to life if she were the one to play it.""You mean Julia as the leading role?!" Yasmin interrogated. Her eyes broadened with a hint of enviousness that could flare into flames."Well, thank you for your compassion," Julia refused to accept it. "It's just that I am not quite interested in this."Some common actors would have made a lot of effort to stand out. It would bring capital to the group itself. However, Julia was a skilled layman who didn't have the capital to back her up to rise to the top. Her forebears' good deeds were why she was asked to play the female lead. Unfortunately, she had to take it down that easy.The director, who was in the industry for twenty years, was stupefied by her knock-back. He had caught a glimpse of many actors quarreling to take the leading role, yet as it was offered to Julia, she rejected it."So you don't want to be famous?" Julia shook her head. "I don't want to. I don't want to lose freedom. It's disturbing."She
