Chapter 1969


    "I will get nervous if you two are staring at me and I''ll make mistakes because of that," La said to


    the two of them.


    "Alright... George,e with me," Leah said to the bodyguard.


    "Who gave you permission to call me by my name?" George felt extremely ufortable.


    "I heard La calling you ''Uncle George’. Is your name not George? How should I address you,


    then?" Leah led him out of the study room and into the living room. "I bought a lot of snacks that I


    can''t finish on my own. Why don''t you take some with youter? Think of it as doing me a favor."


    "Do you have too much money and nowhere to spend it? Why would you buy so much if you


    couldn’t finish them?" George thought back to the snacks he had received from La. Though they


    were delicious, he still felt that it was weird for a grown man to eat snacks.


    "I would go out whenever I’m bored, and it''s not like I can just walk around shops without buying


    anything... I''ve been buying snacks every day, and now, I barely have enough space for these," she


    exined as she took out two enormous bags of snacks and set them down before him. "Take


    these back!"


    He stared at the snacks in shocked silence.


    "By the way, has La''s dad been found yet? La seems to be in a better moodtely." Leah


    poured George a ss of water and took a seat on the couch.


    "Are you asking for your cousin?" He red at her.


    "... I''m just asking about the parents of my student. This has nothing to do with my cousin. I swear!"


    "Or maybe you are trying to seduce my boss as your cousin did?!"


    "... You are more my type."


    George fell silent; his eyes wide with shock.


    "Let me show you this drama I''ve been watching. It''s the love story between a high -borndy and


    her bodyguard."

    George immediately backed off, thinking that she had gone insane.


    "I will stop teasing you if you stop assuming the worst of me. " Leah put her phone away when she


    noticed that he was blushing. "I''m nobody''s pawn. Even if my cousin tries to use me, I won''t listen to


    her.


    I have my own pride, if I refuse to listen to my parents, I wouldn’t listen to anyone else. Besides, my


    cousin has given up on Elliot Foster long ago and is now focusing on her career. She doesn''t need


    me to do anything for her, however..."


    "However, what?" George stared at her warily.


    "If you tell me how your boss ran into the ident and when it happened, I might be able to ask my


    cousin about it," Leah said." My cousin invites me over for dinner every weekend."


    "You want to collect intel about my boss from Natalie? What makes you think that she knows more


    than we do?"


    "What makes you think she doesn’t? Of course, I’m not certain either, but I think my cousin is rather


    brilliant that way... She was the one who told me that something happened to your boss." George''s


    brain worked swiftly and concluded that a scheming woman like Natalie might know something.


    An hourter, he took La back to Elliot''s mansion.


    "Miss Tate, there''s something I need to talk to you about."


    Avery nced at the bodyguard and followed him into the yard.


    La set her backpack down and washed her hand, before walking to the dining room. She pouted


    when she saw the dishes on the table. "Mrs. Cooper, why are there only vegetables? I want to eat


    meat."


    "No meat today, La," Mrs. Cooper said while ncing outside.
