Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 7

Once upon a time, the Abraham family was facing bankruptcy. Julie’s sister, Sansa Abraham, intentionally set up Kieran Hernandez in order to help Julie find someone who could protect her. Kieran’s grandmother discovered Julie and Kieran’s one night stand. To ensure Julie could marry Kieran smoothly, Sansa deliberately leaked the news of Julie’s pregnancy to the media.

The impact of public opinion grew stronger and stronger. The Hernandez family also treated Julie’s pregnancy news as real. Consequently, Kieran had to propose to Julie and inject a large sum of money into the Abraham Group. Julie thought the Abraham family could turn things around this way. So, even though she deceived Kieran about the pregnancy, she never regretted it.

But she never anticipated her own mother would abscond with money and elope with her lover. Her father was infuriated, suffered a stroke, and passed away. Meanwhile, Sansa, intercepting her mother’s elopement by a car, collided with her mother’s vehicle. They had a car accident. Her mother’s body was thrown off a cliff and never found. While Sansa miraculously survived, she ended up in a vegetative state after the surgery.

Ultimately, the Abraham Group still went bankrupt and was eventually acquired by Kieran’s brother, Lucian Hernandez.

After her divorce, Julie’s life was tough, but she never gave up on Sansa’s treatment. Everything Sansal did back then, including framing Kieran, was to protect Julie. Now, Sansa was her sole family in this world, and Julie couldn’t give up on her no matter what.

However, the hospital bills were like an endless pit. No matter how much money she paid, it never seemed enough.

Sansa’s attending physician called Julie, saying, “Ms. Abraham, the hospitalization fee for this month was due on the 12th. Now it’s already the 25th, and you…”

“I’m sorry, Dr. Brice. I’ll definitely clear the payment before the end of the month. Could you please help me with the application again? I appreciate it.”

Julie’s sincere attitude left Dr. Brice somewhat helpless on the other end of the line. He understood Julie’s situation. So, he reluctantly agreed in the end, “Alright, if you can’t make the payment by the end of the month. I really can’t help you further.”

After hanging up, Julie immediately walked into the café. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Her intention was to apologize and go back to work, but she ended up getting fired by her boss.

Julie was practically kicked out of the café. The reason was her boss believed she brought bad luck. Not only did she crash a motorcycle, but she also witnessed someone jumping off a building.

Now, things had taken a turn for the worse. The medical expenses were on due, and she also had to cover the motorcycle repair costs.

Despite time passing, certain things never changed. For example, anything related to Kieran never seemed to bring her any good.

Clutching the wet clothes she got back from Kieran, Julie sat by the roadside. Just as she frowned in thought, her phone suddenly rang.

Seeing the number, Julie immediately answered the call without hesitation.

The worried voice of her friend, Daphne Flores, came from the other end, “Julie, I saw the news/ Are your okay?”

“I’m fine, but I am unemployed. I can’t figure out how to cover Sansa’s medical expenses.” Julie’s tone was somewhat subdued. After a two–second pause, she slightly opened her mouth and asked Daphne, “Daphne, is there any suitable job? I need money.”

Daphne was a friend she met in college. They hit it off instantly.

Perhaps it was their shared optimistic personalities that made them feel so close right from their first. meeting.

When Julie was still the heiress of the Abraham family, she was surrounded by countless “friends,” and there were countless people trying to please her. But when the Abraham family faced troubles, the only person who stayed by her side was Daphne.

After graduating, Daphne joined a magazine and followed a supervisor named Flavia. Now, Flavia was married to Kenton Jenkins, the CEO of Apex Innovations, and Daphne had been promoted to an editor’s

position.

Despite being busy all day, as soon as she heard Julie needed help, Daphne immediately said, “Hold on, let me check if there’s a higher–paying part–time job available.”

Daphne, full of energy, called her back within minutes, “Come to Majestic Peaks International Hotel. I’ll be waiting at the entrance!”

Daphne finished her sentence and practically didn’t give Julie any time to react before hanging up.
