Chapter 782


    La was not a clueless child. She nced at the woman who followed her in with the corner of her


    eyes. She did not know this person at all, so why would she im that there was something she


    needed from La?


    La relieved herself and swiftly pulled her pants back up.


    "Don''t be nervous, La. I’m not a bad person," the woman immediately started talking once La was


    dressed. "I am sent by Elliot."


    La instantly lowered her defenses at the mention of Elliot. Though she did not officially admit that


    Elliot was her father, he had been nice to her; at the very least, she believed that Elliot wouldn''t hurt


    her.


    She sighed a breath of relief and said, "you scared me, Auntie! Why did Elliot sent you here to look for


    me? Why didn''t he just contact me directly? I saw him just yesterday!"


    Guilt shed by the woman’s eyes. "It''s more of an important matter and it’s peculiar, so he was worried


    that he might scare you if he talked to you directly; that’s why he told me toe instead."


    La was only beginning to let her guards down, but immediately became nervous again at the


    woman''s words.


    "What kind of important and peculiar business do you have to say to a kid like me?" La enjoyed


    pretending to be an adult, but she had never forgotten the fact that she was a child. "My mom is in


    Bridgedale, but you can call her! You can talk to my brother as well!"


    In La''s mind, though her brother was the same age as her, Hayden was already a mature individual.


    The woman shook her head. "Your mother doesn''t know about this. It’s about a crimson-colored box."This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    The look on La''s face instantly froze in response to the words.


    ''A crimson-colored box?''


    La had received countless gifts on every special asion and they were all wrapped in boxes of


    different colors, so La couldn''t quite understand what the woman meant by ''a crimson-colored box’.


    "There''s no rush, La. The crimson box I''m talking about belongs to Elliot. Did you and your brother


    take a crimson-colored box from his house before?" Woman exined in details ;b&:XKQ? La


    immediately remembered.


    It was the crimson-colored box that she had taken from Elliot''s study room when she went to his house.


    In truth, her mother had been rather strict on educating them and stealing from someone''s home was


    absolutely forbidden; however, something ticked off in her head that day when she thought of what a


    dirtbag Elliot was for not raising her and her brother, and making her mother angry. Hence, she took


    something of his on purpose as a punishment towards her.


    She had been younger then and there wasn’t much she could do to Elliot even if she wanted to, but


    she had never imagined that a box that she had randomly taken contained something that important.


    "Do you remember it now, La? The box contains something really important to Elliot." The woman


    noticed La looking away and instantly knew that there was something to it. If La hadn''t seen or


    taken the box, she would have denied it right away.


    A child her age could never hide what was truly on her mind.


    La looked up and scanned the woman up and down.


    Her brother had told her that the box contained something important to Elliot and that she was to keep


    it a secret. None of them had mentioned it to their mother or mike that the box was buried under a tree


    in their yard.
