The Vows of Deception Chapter 56: Jared Completely Overturned the Vinegar
'What? He's outside? He can't be serious! Why would he be here?'As Julia was dwelling on her thoughts, her feet quickly stepped toward the window. Tugging at the curtains, she flung them aside and peered into the rain-soaked scene.There, standing resolute at the doorstep, was the man himself.'He's actually here? No way!' Julia inwardly exclaimed in surprise.Only as her initial shock receded did she realize the rain was pouring outside. Realizing that, she couldn't fathom why Jared came."Could it be that something happened to Shiloh's leg?" Julia murmured, her mind attempting to decipher the puzzle of his unexpected arrival.Swiftly, Julia descended the stairs, her every movement a delicate balance between hurry and cautiousness. Fortunately, the sound of rain outside was loud enough that even if her movements were slightly louder, it wouldn't have much of an impact.Upon opening the door, her gaze met the sight of a man drenched by the unforgiving storm."You didn't bring an umbr

Upon hearing the question, Julia raised her head and turned her gaze in the direction of Jared, who was emerging from the bathroom. She nodded in acknowledgment and replied, "Absolutely! I've always been courteous and reciprocating. If Vivien decided to disrupt my wedding, then it's only fitting that I reciprocate and disrupt hers during her wedding."Jared had been containing his emotions for a considerable period. However, upon hearing Julia's plan, his anger reached its peak. His self-control snapped, and he forcefully pushed Julia against the wall, his glare piercing her. His chest rapidly rose and fell as if engulfed in flames."What on earth are you doing?" Julia asked, utterly bewildered by the unfolding situation.Right at that moment, a knock echoed from the door."Julia, what's the noise I heard? Are you alright?" Conrad's concerned voice came from outside.Julia glanced at Jared, who was still pressing against her and furrowed her brows. "It's nothing. Go back to sleep," sh

"Julia!" Jared gasped and immediately stretched his hand to catch Julia's body before she fell to the ground. With heart pounding, Jared carried her and strode out of the bathroom, heading to bed. 'Her clothes were soaking wet. I can't just put her on the bed like this, right?' he thought to himself, falling into a dilemma. He stared at Julia for a moment and took a deep breath. After some hesitation, he swiftly removed Julia's clothes and lay her on the bed. He then grabbed a towel and wiped her entire body before covering her with a duvet. He then placed his palm on Julia's forehead to check her temperature, but he immediately withdrew his hand as though he was burned. 'She's burning!' he inwardly sputtered. Julia struggled to breathe, which made her face paler. Gradually, her eyelids trembled and fluttered open. She blinked and saw the blurry figure of a man beside her. "Help me... Get the syringe," she murmured weakly. "Where is it?" Jared asked. "In the drawer," Julia ge

Conrad was frozen like a statue. He couldn't believe his eyes and thought he was hallucinating, but the man in front of him didn't disappear. "Hello, I'm Oliver Kolson." Oliver whipped out his business card and handed it to Conrad. Hearing his words, Conrad gasped. 'He was indeed Oliver Kolson, a renowned assistant from Cresco Enterprise!' At that moment, Conrad was on cloud nine. He hurriedly accepted Oliver's business card as though he was afraid he would take it back. Smiling from ear to ear, he greeted, "Good to see you here. I'm Conrad."He extended his hand and shook hands with Oliver. He then glanced at Julia and mouthed, "Is it him?"Amused, Julia nodded and smiled at him. Taking a deep breath, Conrad faced Oliver and briefed him about his job, and subsequently sent him off. When Oliver left, Conrad turned to Julia and asked in disbelief, "How did you poach him? He's the number one gold medal assistant of Cresco Enterprise!""Have you forgotten my identity, Brother?" Jul

When he heard the familiar voice, Carter stopped putting on the ring and turned to look behind him.Beside him, Vivien also looked toward the door. Her eyes went wide as she recognized the woman standing before her."W-what..." she stuttered.Julia Watson.She really came.Meanwhile, Carter's eyes widened in surprise, his mind racing with mixed emotions. He had never expected Julia to show up.Why was she there? What did she want?Carter couldn't wrap his mind around the thought as he tried to calm the nerves surging in his skin. After all, most of their guests attended his wedding a month ago and had seen Julia. They knew that she was Carter's former fiancée."It's getting interesting now!" someone said from the crowd.Carter's heart pounded in his chest as he watched Julia approach him. The whispers and murmurs from the crowd grew louder, intensifying the tension in the air.On the other hand, Julia walked carefully toward Carter and Vivien.She wore a confident smile, and her eyes

When the crowd saw the video, they realized they had all misunderstood Julia. They realized Julia's intentions completely differed from what they had initially assumed. It became clear that their judgments had blinded them to such lies.Julia wasn't the villain. It was Vivien."My goodness! What a surprise!" a guest remarked.The woman beside her replied, "I know! I was there last time too, and I felt bad for cursing and being awful to Julia. Later, I have to apologize to her.""I don't think it's your fault. I was there too, and Vivien also deceived me!"After overhearing the conversations of the guests, Vivien felt anxious and angry."Vivien, is this true?" Lilian asked as her eyes darted down at her flat belly. She never really warmed up to Julia but never disliked her. Vivien's child was the primary motivation for her animosity toward Julia.If Julia hadn't been so mean to Vivien, pushing her down and causing her miscarriage, Lilian would be holding her grandson soon.Faced with L

"Julia, I've come to pick you up."Julia halted upon hearing it and slowly fixed her gaze on the man who unexpectedly appeared at the hotel entrance.‘Jared? Why does he come here?' She thought, her forehead wrinkled.“That’s him!” Carter realized Jared at first glance—the man who showed himself up at the Scott family's banquet and the same man Julia offered her kiss.Meanwhile, the guests gossiped about Jared’s sudden arrival, and they couldn't help but speculate about his relationship with Julia.On the other hand, Vivien fixed her eyes on Jared's alluring presence and pondered if he was Julia's boyfriend.“Why did you come here?” Julia questioned, wondering about his presence inside.‘He clearly stated thirty minutes. It’s still not time, yet he’s here. What is he thinking?'Before Jared retorted, he leaned close to Julia's ear while his thin lips almost kissed her skin, making everyone who witnessed quite feel intimidated."To help you." Only two words he whispered in Julia's ear

Before Carter's hand touched Julia's lovely skin, his arms were unexpectedly grabbed by someone at the side.As he brought his eyes to the side along the hand clasping his arm all the way, he met Jared's sharp gaze peeled on him.With Jared's face appearing cold and his inherent dignity, everyone who witnessed him would subconsciously want to surrender.Carter's heart raced, hearing it thud. All he thought, with his sharp gaze at Jared, would make Jared shrink back, but he didn't foresee he was the first to step back and lose.Didn't Julia find Jared as someone who could play to stimulate her? How could someone who only sold his body and soul for money have a fierce and cold aura that would make someone scared stiff?Especially the nobility he had, as if it was natural for him, because he had grown up in the upper circles for a long time.Still, Carter thought he might be overthinking as it was too good to be true. Carter was aware of and knew all of the celebrities in the upper circl

The Vows of Deception Chapter 120: Julia's Hands and Feet Were All Imprisoned By Jared
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
The Vows of Deception Chapter 113: Alexander proposes to Julia
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
