Chapter 1072 A Strange Girl


    Laura''s POV.


    Naturally, I believed Crystal more. My prejudice was more or less objective, but my instinct told me there was more to this girl named Ad than she


    looked.


    I smiled at Ad kindly and pulled her to sit down. "Can you tell me why you happened to be there and found Rufus?"


    Ad raised her gaze at me, her plump, smooth face expressing a hint of shyness. In a low voice, she answered, "I''m a professional painter. When I


    went to the suburb to paint that day, and I came across King Rufus when he was injured..."


    1 see.


    I turned to examine the artwork and painting tools in the corner. A soldier delivered them here just now. ording to the people who followed Rufus,


    this young woman named Ad was indeed found in the area with her painting tools.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    That seemed usible, but when I looked at Ad, I couldn''t help but feel a peculiar connection


    I wasn''t one to keep my doubts to myself. If there was an issue, I would always address it directly. That was why I went right ahead and asked Ad,


    "Have I met you before?"


    Ad seemed to feel an instant pang of embarrassment. She looked ufortable and replied, "I attended the ballst time. Maybe you saw me


    there.”


    I frowned and tried to recall this girl from memory, but I came up empty. I would not deny; her face was utterly beautiful. Beautiful women such as this


    one always had a great impression on me. Every time I''d see them, I''d think whether or not they were deserving of Rufus.


    Even though I know Rufus wouldn''t be interested in them, my concerns remained. I knew I said didn''t care, but my concerns about Rufus’ marriage


    still persisted. After all, he was of age to get married now. Thinking of this, I couldn''t help but sigh. Startled, Ad said in a tearful voice, "Have I


    disappointed you in any way?"


    I was surprised. She was too timid


    even though she was the daughter


    of an Alpha. Why did she look like


    she had never seen an elephant


    befote? From what I was seeing, her


    bekavior didn''t match her identity.

    I couldn’t help but pull a long face. Her fearful reaction made me feel like an old witch who devoured people.


    This further added to my suspicions of her true identity. There would be no reason for me to stop looking into her, even if investigation turned up no


    cause for concern over her identity.


    Without changing my tone and showing no doubt, I asked "How did you meet Rufus? And how did you save him? I heard the cliff was steep. Why did


    you go down there?”

    genuine. When I observed her facial


    expression, she didn''t flinéh and just


    looked straight into my eyes,


    mn


    Was what she said true? Did this girl really save Rufus?


    Her words did make sense. People who didn''t know the truth could imagine what happened based from her story.


    But somehow, I just didn''t want to believe her.


    Perhaps I was just biased. I''d rather believe Crystal saved Rufus than this girl in front of me.


    At this moment, the door suddenly opened. Crystal rushed in angrily and red at Ad. "Nonsense! You didn''t save him at all!"


    I looked at-Crystal and then at Ad


    in bewilderment. Suddenly, I realized


    something. Ad''s hairstyle,


    behavier, expression, and tone:


    mirrored Crystal''s when the (atter
