The Vows of Deception Chapter 7: Kisses
At that moment, realization dawned on Jared as he grasped the true intent behind Julia's action. She had only added him on Facebook to transfer money for her meal. As a man of considerable wealth and influence and the CEO of Brook Corporation, Jared couldn't help but feel a sting in his pride. However, he chose not only to accept the money but to reciprocate by returning more than a hundredfold of the amount Julia had transferred.A sense of dignity still in place, he stated firmly, "Consider this the medical fee."Julia was taken aback, momentarily stunned by his unexpected gesture. Yet, she quickly regained her composure and responded, "Your brother was right. I committed to helping him cure his leg, and you agreed to our marriage certificate. You owe me nothing beyond that. There's no need to transfer money to me."Despite the generosity of the sum, Julia's assertion stood firm. She didn't need money. In fact, in her previous life, she had amassed a fortune beyond imagination. Thus

As the imminent kiss hung in the air, Julia abruptly halted the playful charade, rising from her position over Jared.With a serene demeanor, she addressed Shiloh, her tone matter-of-fact yet tinged with a hint of mischief, "Just a friendly reminder for next time: avoid the commanding tone, or I might actually get carried away and develop a very close relationship with your brother. Perhaps more than just a kiss."Shiloh's frustration and anger reached a boiling point. "I don't need you to heal me anymore! Just leave!" he thundered, his voice echoing with indignation.Julia appeared unperturbed, her focus shifting to the task at hand. She retrieved a list from her bag and handed it to Jared. "Here's the prescription I've prepared for your brother. Take it to a pharmacy tomorrow and have it filled by the professionals there. It's better not to attempt making the medicine yourself. A small mistake could greatly affect its efficacy. Let the experts handle it. Also, arrange a set of silv

Julia slightly inclined her head towards Jared, her eyes betraying no hint of emotion. "Thank you, but no need to trouble yourself," she politely declined.With those words, Julia stepped out, swiftly shutting the door behind her.Jared remained in his spot, his deep eyes locked onto the closed door.A few moments later, he retrieved his phone and dialed a number."Please look into what's happening with the Watson family," he instructed the person on the other end."Understood, boss," said the person on the other end of the line.Shiloh approached during this exchange and overheard Jared's conversation. He regarded his elder brother curiously."Why are you investigating this, brother?""Don't you think she was very strange just now?" Jared asked back.Jared's query prompted Shiloh to recall Julia's odd behavior moments ago. It was indeed peculiar and somewhat unsettling. He had also sensed a formidable aura from her, similar to his brother's when he was enraged.However, Shiloh realiz

Julia found it intriguing.Yasmin was truly adept at spinning lies, as was her usual nature.Conrad turned his head to look at Julia and pondered her recent statement. She had claimed to be an apprentice of the Divine Doctor, while Yasmin boasted about finding the Divine Doctor's Holy Hand. It left him puzzled."Conrad, even though Yasmin isn't biologically related to you, she still cares more about you than your own sister does. Shouldn't you prioritize Yasmin?" Philip's heartfelt plea portrayed Yasmin as his actual daughter, despite the lack of a blood bond.Julia coldly observed as Philip manipulated the situation, encouraging Conrad to disregard her and embrace Yasmin.'My, oh my, how skilled my dear father is at this!' she mused sarcastically."Dad! How could you be so unfair!" Conrad's voice trembled with anger, defending Julia and feeling deep sorrow for her.He could imagine how hurtful it must be for his sister to hear her biological father utter such callous words!"Fine, fi

"Yes," Julia nodded as she answered.Conrad tried to read Julia's expression for a while but couldn't see any signs of lying on her face. That was when he realized that she was telling the truth."Please rest well. I promise to cure your face in a month," Julia promised.Conrad opened his mouth slightly, choking up his words, unable to say anything. His tears stayed in the corners of his eyes."Rest first. This is just an ordinary ward and unsuitable for you to recuperate. I'll find someone to transfer you to the VIP ward first," she uttered while helping her brother lie down.Philip, their father, was no doubt ruthless. He was a company boss, yet he let his son stay at a regular ward."Julia, here..." he handed his card. "It contains ten thousand dollars that I have saved." He took it under his pillow.Julia felt a surge of sadness as she looked at the card in his hand.Conrad was the eldest son of the Watson Family. Although he disfigured himself, he had been helping Philip in the c

The moment Julia stepped out of the bathroom looking like that, she was not the only one dumbfounded!Sitting on the bed, Jared looked utterly surprised, and his pupils trembled! He, who had never been close to women and was not tempted by anything, couldn't control the movement of his eyes at that time."You, I-" Julia turned around and entered the bathroom again.With a loud bang, the bathroom door slammed shut. The room quieted; everything was in place except for the two, who couldn't calm down after what happened.Julia pressed her back against the cold door to cool down, her chest heaving and her cheeks tinged with blush.On the other hand, outside was Jared staring at the bathroom door, maintaining his previous position and sitting motionless.The two remained deadlocked, and in the end, Julia was the first to break the most awkward situation they had ever been in.Julia raised her hand and knocked on the door. She faked a cough and asked, "Are you still outside?"When he heard

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

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

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
