The 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

"Jared Brooks," Lincoln muttered after a few seconds of hesitation."What?" Julia's eyes widened. "He booked the entire cruise ship? Why would he do that?"Lincoln shrugged on the other line. "I have no idea. I'm too lazy to investigate." Because of their past, Lincoln had difficulty bringing up Jared's name again.Julia hung up the phone and stared in awe.'Is it because of me?' Julia pondered and remembered what happened two days ago.Carter invited her to their wedding and boasted that it would be held on Monroe's most luxurious cruise ship.They exchanged quite a few heated statements that day, which made Julia wonder if Jared did it to get revenge on her behalf.'No way,' Julia thought. She shook her head, trying to brush off the thought. Although Jared had confessed to her, Julia couldn't believe it. She felt that it was just a spur of the moment.How could Jared spend so much money for her sake? Julia was convinced that Jared had other plans for the cruise ship.While engrossed

'Her? How could she be so pretty?!'Driven by envy, Vivien bit her lower lip. It wasn't the first time she saw Julia in a wedding dress. But the first time was not as impressive compared to what she was wearing now.Vivien remembered that Julia was wearing a plain gown with simple make-up and hairstyle last time. But today was different; not only was she wearing an elegant dress, but Julia also had exquisite make-up that perfectly matched her complexion and features.Nobody would be able to miss how Julia had improved. She looked better, from her skin condition to her charming face, as if glowing before them. It was quite different from before, and now she appeared undeniably attractive.Vivien looked at Carter, who was still staring at Julia in awe. "Carter, you–" Vivien's words were interrupted when Carter suddenly walked toward Julia as if compelled to do so.He stood beside Julia and glanced over his and Julia's reflection in the mirror. Carter suddenly imagined a few moments with

Joseph was taken aback when Jared stood up. Out of curiosity, Joseph peeked at Jared’s phone and gasped at what he saw.Why was Julia wearing a wedding gown with Lincoln? He observed Jared’s reaction for a few seconds.With a sullen expression, Jared asked Cameron the location of the bridal shop.On the other side, Cameron was overjoyed that Jared responded and he was coming to the shop. ‘Let’s see how you’ll handle this, Julia.” Cameron smirked.After receiving the shop's location, Jared wasted no time and drove there. Oblivious to what was happening outside, Julia was busy posing for pictures with Lincoln.After a couple of takes, Julia rubbed her right eyelid and closed her eyes. Lincoln immediately noticed it and worriedly asked, “What’s wrong, miss?”“Not sure; my eyelid just twitched.” And as soon as Julia finished talking, she noticed the door opening from outside. Behind the glass was Jared walking toward them with heavy footsteps.Julia’s eyes widened in shock, and the flower

For an instant, Julia was astounded. Her eyes brightened, and seeing Jared in a pink suit made her feel weird. Although he had a cold demeanor, it suited him well and wasn't out of place. It somewhat made him younger."Weird enough?" Jared asked with furrowed brows."C'mon, don't frown. You look good and youthful in that suit." Julia thought there was a lack of it. "You should smile, and that makes you more handsome." Julia's words weren't like before. There was no more bragging about it.In Julia's mind, Jared dressed dazzlingly. She didn't mean Jared wasn't good-looking enough in his usual black, white, and gray suit. His visuals and vibe now brought a style that caught everyone's attention around his circle.Julia felt he became more captivating and fresh, making its freshness drip in the water. She expressed her appreciation for how handsome she was left and right, even said she was blown by the wind, making her heart race, and couldn't help but smile.With that, Jared laughed his

Jared was stunned, aware it was a coincidence Julia didn't intend to do. However, he was quite satisfied.On the other side, Carter was supposed to sit on the chair and mind their own pictorial, but when he happened to see Julia kiss Jared, he suddenly stood and felt uneasy.Meanwhile, Lincoln was also thrilled, never coming across his mind that it would happen. With that, he rushed over."Hey, hey!" Lincoln called their attention furiously. "Take it easy and stop kissing, will you?!"Suddenly, Julia came back to her senses and distanced herself a bit. Though her face was covered with makeup, a faint blush was visible on her face.Julia coughed and cleared her throat while her eyes glinted, so she couldn't dare bring them to look at Jared.She reasoned out, "Well, it's an accident and never done on purpose."If she knew his face was too close, she wouldn't be able to kiss him."Hmm." Jared slightly raised his lips.Cameron's gaze darkened in the separated glass, staring at them, and s

"What in the world is this?" Julia exclaimed, her voice echoing in the room.With a bewildered look, she pulled an identical wedding photo of a passionate kiss from under the bed, dusting it off with her fingertips.As she compared the wedding photos in her left and right hands, realization dawned on Julia. She couldn't help but purse her lips, rendered speechless by the discovery. She hadn't known about the hidden wedding photo under the bed but, surprisingly, had found a spare one.Stunned beyond belief, she thought, feeling a mix of amusement and shock.With a clever smile, Julia hid the wedding photo in the wardrobe and turned the key in the lock.'Let's see how you hang it now!' she thought, triumphantly challenging the unknown prankster.Just then, Shiloh's voice, laden with disbelief and surprise, filtered through the closed door. "What happened? Julia?"'Hmm? What's going on now?' Julia wondered curiosity piqued.Opening the door with a confused expression, she was met with Sh

"My mentor."An air of anticipation lingered before Julia's words finally sank in.After Julia's declaration, the room went completely silent. Slowly, as they started to understand, their amazement spread through the group, and their faces showed a mix of shock and wonder.After the shock wore off, the marketing manager leaned forward. "What if we use this healer as a unique selling point? Imagine the buzz!" he suggested enthusiastically.There were murmurs of agreement coming from all directions. It wasn't all a clever advertising ploy. Having the mysterious healer's name attached to their new skincare product may outperform the support of even the most famous celebrities or sought-after influencers.Julia's eyes turned to Conrad, her reliable confidant and the company's owner. Even though she often followed her gut, she weighed his counsel immensely. She decided it would be wise to have his opinion because his years of experience outweighed hers.Conrad sat back, his furrowed brow b

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
