The Vows of Deception Chapter 28: Jealousy
Upon hearing Philip's words, Jared paused mid-meal to cast a penetrating glance at Julia's phone.Julia pursed her lips, a smirk evident. "So, Natalia's being generous, finding me a partner? What is he, a man in his fifties or sixties?""You should be so lucky," Philip retorted icily. "Given your current reputation, do you really expect to snag a wealthy nobleman?"Julia arched an eyebrow, well aware of Natalia's intentions. "What's wrong with my reputation? I was deceived by a scheming man and betrayed by a so-called 'angelic' woman. How am I not the victim here?""I won't waste my time arguing with you," Philip snapped. "Just be clear: you're attending that blind date this weekend."Leaning back casually, Julia speared a meatball with her fork and took a leisurely bite. "What if I refuse?"Philip's voice grew shrill. "You wouldn't dare.""Try me."There was a brief, heated silence before the line went dead. Julia quickly added Philip's number to her phone's block list.Shiloh shook

"Ah?" Julia gazed at Jared's hand, a perplexed expression playing across her features. What could that possibly signify?Shiloh appeared equally befuddled.Then, unexpectedly, the word "candy" escaped the man's lips.Upon hearing this word, Julia and Shiloh found themselves taken aback, struggling to believe what they'd just heard.Jared, craving candy?The notion was utterly startling—no, even a bit disconcerting, wasn't it?"Brother, I mean... don't you have an aversion to sweets?" Shiloh's astonishment left her stumbling over her words.Jared, his expression impassive, turned his gaze toward Shiloh. "You're not a fan of sweet treats either. Didn't you just finish eating?"Shiloh's voice faltered as she replied, "Yes, but that's different! The medicine I had was so bitter.""I can relate. There's a hint of bitterness lingering in my mouth," Jared casually replied, his demeanor devoid of emotional fluctuation.The atmosphere settled into an uneasy silence, tinged with an eerie qualit
The Vows of Deception Chapter 30 Not Qualified
Julia and Yannie locked eyes, the air around them thick with tension, poised to ignite at the slightest spark.Following a momentary hush, Yannie withdrew a card from her handbag and extended it to Julia. "Aren't you here solely for material gain? There's one million on this card. Take it and leave."Julia's gaze skimmed over the card before remarking, "Since you've concluded that my motives are driven by wealth, I won't bother to defend myself. After all, you wouldn't believe me anyway."With that, Julia produced her phone and tapped on the transfer record that Jared had sent her."Look, your son is far more generous than you—ten times as generous, to be precise. Given that I'm here for financial gain, I'll just cling tightly to your son's wealth."The ten million dollars referred to were the sum Jared had previously transferred to her, meant for purchasing medicine for Shiloh.Julia's words irked Yannie. The audacity with which she twisted the situation to her advantage was infuriat
The Vows of Deception Chapter 31: Regrets and Apologies
Yannie and Cameron exchanged unbelieving glances as they watched the scene unfold before them. The state of Shiloh’s legs was a well-known challenge, like the withered roots of an ancient tree. They had consulted many famous doctors and tried various medicines, but there had yet to be any improvement.Yannie couldn’t contain her excitement, tears of joy streaming down her face. Remembering what Julia had just mentioned, she asked with hope in her eyes, “Can you really help Shiloh stand within two weeks?”Julia shook her head and said, “Just consider what I said earlier as unlikely.”Yannie was momentarily puzzled, struggling to understand Julia’s meaning.Seeing Yannie’s confusion, Julia let out a sigh and clarified, “I think you might have misunderstood me. I’m not that presumptuous. Though you pursued me eagerly, I also have my own dignity. So, I’ve decided to pack up and leave, not to come back to your family.”Yannie’s anxiety spiked upon hearing this. “I jumped to conclusions and
The Vows of Deception Chapter 32: Losing His Sense
“Dig in,” Anthony greeted warmly, his tone inviting.However, Jared’s thoughts remained preoccupied with Julia and Lincoln’s recent encounter, leaving him with little appetite. He retrieved his phone and composed a message to send to Julia.[Where are you?]Julia: [Hmm?] Julia halted in her steps, perplexed by the sudden message, asking herself, ‘Why was he asking this now?’Seeing that Julia was preoccupied with her thoughts. Lincoln couldn’t help but ask, “Boss, what’s going on?” Lincoln chimed in, also pausing.“Just give me a moment. I’m waiting for a response,” Julia replied after tweaking the message.Julia thought for a while before replying. [I’m outside.][Alone?] Jared inquired further.Suspicion cast a fleeting shadow in Julia’s eyes as she scanned her surroundings.

The Vows of Deception Chapter 33: Protection
In a split second, Julia’s pupils expanded to their limits, her thoughts freezing in place as she grappled with the bewildering twist of events. But before she could make sense of it all, the man’s fervor intensified, and he forcefully pressed his lips against hers, setting off a whirlwind of wild emotions.“What’s happening?” Lincoln’s eyes widened to the point of nearly popping out of their sockets. The sight before him was beyond his expectations – his typically poised and self-assured boss was now the recipient of an aggressive and unexpected kiss.“Jared, let go of my boss this instant!” Lincoln’s fist clenched, striking out at Jared with force.Reacting swiftly, Julia extended her arm, encircling the man’s slender waist as she executed an abrupt pivot, effectively shielding Jared from the approaching blow aimed by Lincoln.Caught in a suspended motion, Lincoln’s fist hung in the air, and his eyes transfixed on the intertwined figures that seemed to combine into a protective embr
The Vows of Deception Chapter 34: Taking Off Your Shirt
With rapid reflexes, Julia swiftly pressed her hand against Jared’s mouth and used her other hand to push against the man’s chest.“Julia, get up this instant! Are you still willing to provoke my brother right in front of me?!” Shiloh’s voice soared, his frustration palpable. He’d undoubtedly be springing to his feet if not for his impaired legs.Speechless, Julia pondered whether these two brothers were utterly ruthless with her. One forcefully kissed her, while the other seemingly ignored the recent occurrence.“Do you have eyes in the back of your head? Didn’t you see that your brother was the one who started it?” Julia retorted with a frustrated twitch of her mouth.Shiloh paid little heed to her protest. “Is it doing that’s left my brother like this?”An annoyed expression tugged at Julia’s lips. “Could you please stop standing there and making insulting remarks? If you’re not going to lend a hand, I might as well give up resisting.”“You dare, you—”“Move it! Get over here!” Jul
The Vows of Deception Chapter 35: Acupuncture Treatment
Jared’s response was immediate, his entire being stirred by an electrifying surge. His gaze locked onto Julia with an intensity that seemed to set ablaze every cell and vein in his body.They say that a woman’s words can be deceiving, but when she insists she’s not interested, the truth may lie in her underlying affection. The realization seemed to flicker across Jared’s mind, a knowing curve tugging at the corner of his mouth. In a swift motion, he unbuttoned his shirt and undid his belt, then reclined onto the bed. The pounding of his heart seemed to echo audibly, his pulse racing like an untamed stallion.At this moment, the illustrious head of the Brook family, typically the model of composure, felt an unusual surge of nerves. Even during his early experiences representing the company at international conferences at the age of eighteen, he had never felt this level of anticipation or anxiety.
