    Chapter 186


    “I’m thinking…” She suddenly shivered and stared straight at the person in front of her. Callum was


    now the helmsman of the White family, so he naturally had his connections. If Callum was willing to


    help her investigate Rosalie’s case, he would probably attain useful clues easier than if she did


    herself.


    Thinking of this, her eyes were even brighter. She looked at Callum as if she saw hope.


    “Uhm… I know I did something that hurt you in the past, so I’ll ept anything you say, and I also


    promise that I will do as you said, but… Can you do me a small favor while we date?” Lillian looked


    at him expectantly.


    “A favor?” Callum was a little surprised and asked, “What do you want me to help you with?” From


    her subservient attitude alone, Callum already knew this favor she was asking for was not an easy


    task.


    Lillian started, “Well, my friend, the one who came with Jonathan to see me, she was sentenced to


    three years in prison before, but she was actually wronged. However, we didn’t find evidence to


    help her reopen the case. We finally found some clues recently. Could you please investigate based


    on this lead and see if you can find any evidence that is conducive to turning over the case.”


    Callum didn’t expect that Lillian’s request for help would be for Rosalie.


    “She has a good rtionship with Jonathan. Why didn’t she ask Jonathan to help her reopen the


    case and instead, make you do so much work?”


    “Rosalie doesn’t know I’m asking you for help. She didn’t find Jonathan because…” Lillian paused


    for a while. After all, it was about her friend’s personal affairs, and the rtionship between Rosalie


    and Jonathan was quiteplicated. Therefore, Lillian had no choice but to say, “Anyway, she


    probably doesn’t want Jonathan’s help to clear her name. After all, the case was about her killing his


    fiancée, Mnie, due to drunk driving.”


    Callum squinted his eyes slightly and suddenly smiled.


    “Why are you smiling?” Lillian frowned.


    “I just think this is a little interesting.” Callum said with a smile, “But since the judge concluded that


    your friendmitted drunk driving resulting in death, why do you think she was wronged?”


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    “I believe she won’t lie. She said she didn’t drink that day, and it was Mnie’s car that sped toward


    hers. This must be the truth.” Lillian was sure.


    The curve at the corner of Callum’s mouth gradually disappeared, and his eyes darkened. “Do you


    believe her so much?”


    “She is my best friend. Who should I trust if not her?” Lillian answered as a matter of course.


    “What about me? Do you believe me?” Callum suddenly asked.


    Lillian was stunned and wondered, ‘What does he mean by that? Isn’t he going to take revenge on


    me? How can I trust him without reservation?


    If I really did, I’d be tortured to bits in the end.


    However, she could not answer truthfully in front of Callum. So, she hurriedly said, “Of course I do!”


    He stared at her as if he wanted to see through her.


    After a long time, his eyshes drooped slightly and hid the sh of disappointment in his eyes.


    Callum then said, “Okay. Send the leads you have now to meter. I’ll get someone to investigate.”


    “Really? Thank you so much!” Lillian was overjoyed and grabbed Callum’s hand excitedly, then


    said, “I knew it. You’re a good man, so you can’t go back on your words!”


    He looked at her hands in a daze. She held his hand tightly as if her hands were expressing the


    same joy.


    He looked up and saw her happy smile. Suddenly, Callum was a little jealous because her current


    smile was not because of him but Rosalie.


    Obviously, Rosalie was much more important to her than him!


    In the car, Calvin leaned against the back of the chair and rubbed his temples slightly.


    After receiving a call, the secretary in the same car reported to Calvin, “Mr. Gunner, the jewelry Ms.


    Leighton chose is worth 4 million dors. Do you want to give it to Ms. Leighton?”


    The jewelry store owner purposely called to ask about it because it was worth 4 million dors.


    Calvin said indifferently, “Give it to her since she has made the choice.”


    “Yes.” The secretary responded and ryed the message to the jewelry store owner. However, they


    thought, ‘Ms. Leighton is too short-sighted. She only started dating Mr. Gunner recently and is


    already eager to join the upper-ss society. Recently, she often frequents jewelry stores and


    luxury brand shops, almost as if she wants to dress herself up as a celebrity.


    She takes whatever she wants and puts everything on Calvin’s tab.


    This kind of woman is too impatient. She’s going to end up worse in the future the further she climbs


    up the socialdder


    now.’


    However, what surprised the secretary was that Calvin would have given his previous girlfriends a


    cold shoulder for a while. if they behaved this way. However, he had not neglected Loretta so far.


    The secretary wondered if it was because their rtionship was still rtively new. However, she


    did not think Calvin was really captivated by Loretta. After all, if a man truly fell in love with a


    woman, he would not let the woman pick jewelry on her own and would not use an indifferent tone


    when talking about her.


    “But Ms. Leighton has spent a lot of money recently, and it’s already over 6 million dors so far.”


    The secretary decided it was necessary to remind Calvin about it.


    “Oh?” Calvin slowly raised his eyes and looked at the secretary sitting beside him with a faint smile,


    then asked, “Tell me, why are some people always so eager?”


    “Maybe Ms. Leighton wants to get whatever she can,” the secretary replied.


    “How boring. Maybe in the end, she won’t get anything.” As Calvin spoke, he slowly turned to look


    out of the window. Although 6 million dors was nothing to him, and he had always been willing to


    spend money on his girlfriend, he simply dismissed it aspensation for these women.


    In addition, all the women who had been his girlfriend only wanted his money, wealth, resources,


    and reputation. However,’ they were all much more tactful than Loretta. At the very least, they were


    not like Loretta and treated him as a fool.


    However, it didn’t matter. He kept Loretta by his side simply because he wanted to know something


    about Rosalie’s past from her.
