The Vows of Deception Chapter 74: Yasmin Uses Money to Annoy Jared, Jared Stood Up For Julia
Jared disregarded Yasmin's question and glanced toward the women's restroom. He acted like he hadn't heard Yasmin and patiently waited for Julia to come out.His attitude made Yasmin quite unhappy, but she couldn't genuinely feel angry at Jared's handsome and elegant face."Hey, how much did Julia pay you?"Jared continued to ignore her, but she was persistent."I'll pay you double if you break up with her."Yasmin finally got a reaction from Jared.He looked down at her with an expressionless face, indifferently saying, "I don't want anybody's money, and she didn't pay me. I paid her."Yasmin's expression contorted from his response."Pff!" Julia couldn't hold back her laughter.Who could blame her? Seeing Jared shutting Yasmin down with such a straight face and Yasmin's defeated look was just too funny.Julia eventually caught their attention, and Jared looked at her trying to suppress her laughter with a loving and helpless smile.'Little devil.' He thought.He realized Julia had b

Julia's eyebrows twitched upward, a hint of amusement lighting up her expression. Her guess was spot on."Exciting, huh? You mean the whole 'relieving oneself indiscriminately' thing?" Julia's retort prompted a sudden hush on the other side of the line.After an awkward pause that lasted a good dozen seconds, Joseph cleared his throat several times, trying to smooth out the weird vibes. "Uh, Madam, can we maybe pretend this call never happened?""Fine by me.""What do you mean, 'fine by me'?" Jared strolled up, spotting Julia holding his phone."Oh, it was just Joseph calling. Figured it could be something important from the company, and since you left your phone, I picked it up," Julia explained with a nonchalant nod.'Joseph called?' Jared's eyebrows knitted together.Julia handed the phone back to Jared. The call was still ongoing, and Joseph had heard every word they just exchanged, leaving a pretty bitter taste in his mouth.Holding the phone to his ear, Jared asked, "Did you say

Click!Suddenly, the power blinked out, and the entire theater plunged into darkness."What the heck just happened?" The sudden blackout stirred up a chorus of voices.Julia stood up and glanced toward the screening hall entrance."Looks like there's a glitch with the equipment," Jared's voice chimed in, a tinge of annoyance seeping through his tone.Just a smidge more time, and he could've found himself in the girl's arms."Oh." Julia clutched her stomach, an uneasy feeling creeping in. Maybe she downed a bit too much cola."I'm going to the restroom.""I'll come with you.""No need, I—"Julia barely got the words out when she accidentally stepped on something, making her lose her balance and tumble right onto the guy, hitting a rather sensitive spot."Mmm—" A muffled groan escaped Jared's lips.Julia turned beet red. This awkward situation was uncalled for."Um, I'm sorry. It wasn't my intention. You alright? Nothing cracked, right?"Caught off guard by the girl's concern, Jared spo

Witnessing Conrad's departure from the company, Julia's heart was aflutter. Could he really be an employee here now?"I have no ties to you anymore. No explanations necessary," Conrad declared, his gaze softening as he regarded Julia. His usual gentleness and humility returned as he said, "It's rather windy outside, go on in.""Very well," Julia agreed, clasping her elder brother's hand as they made their way towards the company entrance.Karla, meanwhile, seethed on the sidelines, her anger bubbling over. "Conrad, what's the point of your amiable façade now? The Watson family has shown you the door – you're left with nothing!"Julia paused, turning to face Karla squarely. "Nothing? Does that mean I can't start anew from scratch?"Karla let out a mocking laugh, a sneer contorting her face. "Starting from nothing? What a grand illusion! Without resources, your talk of a fresh beginning is just wishful thinking.""You really do underestimate people," Julia began before Conrad intervened

Karla was utterly flabbergasted by the sight that unfolded before her. A gasp escaped her lips, her eyes widening as if they might leap from their sockets.The heavens above!What had she just witnessed?Oliver, of all people, was behind the wheel, chauffeuring none other than Conrad and his sister Julia?"How... How is this even possible?!" Karla stammered, her astonishment verging on disbelief.A profound realization surged within her, and her mind spun with audacious thoughts, expanding and fermenting into a daring hypothesis."It has to be!"Why else would Oliver personally drive Conrad and Julia? Why would the receptionist treat her with such disdain during the interview? Why did Oliver shield Julia earlier at the company?And the name of this very enterprise was J&C Limited!"Unbelievable!" Karla's shock was palpable, her excitement gaining momentum like a whirlwind.In an instant, her ex-boyfriend's identity snapped into place like a missing puzzle piece. He was the mastermind

As Henry's words subsided, he turned to catch sight of Jared's ominous expression."What's with that look?" Henry patted his chest, taken aback by Jared's sudden intensity."You can't pursue her," Jared stated firmly."Why?" Henry's confusion was palpable as he glanced at Jared."Do you know who she is?""Who? I'll pursue anyone I want. I'll even pursue a neighboring country's princess if I feel like it."Jared's eyes darkened as he said impassively, "My wife."Henry's pupils dilated upon hearing this, his gaze darting between Jared and Julia."She's... the woman you got hitched to?"Having been overseas, Henry had only recently returned to the country and was unaware of the events that had transpired. He knew of Jared's commitment to marriage but had yet to meet Jared's wife."No way! With your medical background, I figured she must be older, maybe in her 40s or 50s. I didn't expect her to be so young and stunning."Henry's eyes remained fixated on Julia as he spoke. Her exquisite fe
Last Updated : 2024-07-12The Vows of Deception Chapter 80: The truth about Vivien’s framing of Julia is exposed, and Jared’s love for Julia
Things happened so fast, catching Julia off guard. She suddenly slowed down in a beat, so even though she tried to evade it, she still couldn’t avoid it.In just a blink of an eye, a broad figure blocked her body. Julia gasped. She raised her head and saw the man with furrowed brows. As soon as they met gazes, his expression became softer.Although confused at first, Julia stood up and touched his back.“Are you okay?” she asked, caressing his wet back.“I’m fine,” Jared replied. He then took off his suit and held it in his arm. Julia looked at him in awe. Despite the man’s disheveled hair and rugged appearance, he still looked good and domineering.Jared’s sharp and cold eyes immediately shifted to Carter.“What a blind bastard.”Julia’s ears didn’t miss his words. She stared at him and raised a brow.She thought the same as Carter. But hearing these words from Jared gave her an indescribable feeling.“What did you just say?” Carter growled and glared at Jared, daring him to say his
Last Updated : 2024-07-12The Vows of Deception Chapter 81: Jared Charters the Princess Ship for Julia
Julia instantly stopped in her tracks and looked at Carter.Jared’s eyebrows furrowed as he stopped. A hint of anxiety briefly crossed his usually composed expression. His gaze zeroed in on Julia, studying her expression seriously.Julia’s face remained blank, unwilling to reveal any of her emotions, making Jared feel more conflicted. He didn’t even notice that he was tightening his grip on her waist.After a moment of silence, Julia spoke. “Wow. Never have I thought those words would come out of your mouth.”Carter looked away. “It was a misunderstanding on my part earlier. Honestly, it almost…” He glanced at Jared and added, “I won’t fall for you again. I’ve made up my mind. Now, I’m sure. I want to spend my life with Vivien.”Vivien gasped. Just by his words, her anger slowly subsided.“Is that so?” Julia replied as she raised a brow. “Then, why are you telling me that? Are you showing off or something?”“I know you’re mad at me, Julia. Let’s just think that fate made all of this h

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
