Chapter 1978


    La''s furious face appeared before the two of them. Her chest was heaving as she stared daggers


    at Natalie. "Your dad is dead! You keep saying that my dad is dead, so I''m saying the same thing to


    you, you witch! You are just like that old witch Wanda! Both of you are rotten to the core!"


    La decided to tell her father about how horrible a person Natalie was if he ever came home. He


    would then fire her and get her as far away from them as possible.


    Natalie had not imagined that La could be this vicious


    "Ms. Jennings, you seem pretty certain that my boss is dead. Do you know something that we


    don’t?" The bodyguard did not give her a chance to argue and


    pressed on, "Or are you involved in his death?!" "Bullsh*t! I just want my cousin to keep her


    distance from you people and I said that to convince her! How would I know if Elliot is dead?! You


    are unreasonable and vicious beyond bounds! If I have the ability to murder someone like Elliot, I


    might as well stop working for someone else and open an assassination organization instead. I can


    work for the highest payer. Wouldn’t I earn more that way?" She directed one final re at the


    bodyguard and left in a huff.


    Once she was gone, Leah looked over at the bodyguard and La awkwardly. "I''m sorry! I didn''t


    know my cousin wasing. She didn’t tell me."


    "You were right. If your cousin is that certain that my boss is dead, she must know something."

    "My dad isn''t dead! Mommy said so!" La howled.


    "Don''t get angry, La. I think what your mom said is true. My cousin probably knows something


    though," said Leah immediately when she saw the tears in La''s eyes.


    La walked out with her backpack. "Ms. Kennedy, I''m not doing my homework here today! I''m


    going home!" With that, she stormed off and the bodyguard caught up with her.


    Once she got into the car, La reached up to wipe away the tears on her face.


    Seeing how upset she was, the bodyguard apologized. "La, I''m sorry.”


    "Why are you apologizing? You didn''t do anything wrong," La said, as tears filled her eyes once


    again. "It''s been so long since Dad went missing, so I know that he could be dead. Mommy doesn’t


    want to face it, neither do I. If Daddy is alive, he woulde back. Even if he can''t travel at the


    moment, he would have found a way to contact us."


    "La, alive or dead, we need to find your dad as soon as possible. I talked to your momst night,


    and she told me to work with Ms. Kennedy to see if we can get information as to whether Natalie is


    involved in this."


    "Oh..."


    "I wille back to talk to herter once I send you back."


    "Okay.."


    With La''s approval, the bodyguard sent her home and drove back to Leah''s apartment.


    Leah did not expect him toe back and was slightly taken by surprise, but she let him in


    regardless.


    "Why are you crying?” He stood by the door, contemting if he should step inside.


    Leah’s eyes were swollen, and she appeared difited.


    "It''s nothing... My cousin just called my mom to tell on me." Leah went to sit down on the couch in


    the living room, and the bodyguard strode inside, closing the door behind him.
