Ignoring what Laura said, ra reminded herself that she must be wary of Laura from now on. However, ra had no idea what she could do. ra felt she was getting mentally far away from Horace.
“I’m nearly home, so just leave me here.” ra didn’t want to spend any more time with Laura, so she asked Laura to stop the car, even if she didn’t know where they were now.
Laura did not say anything more and left after ra got out of the car.
Looking at ra in the left-wing mirror, Laura narrowed her eyes with contempt and disdain. ra remained silent whatever Laura said, so Laura thought ra was indeed a pushover. Laura became more confident to defeat ra.
The next day, ra received a call from Russell and was told to have dinner with him. ra hadn’t seen Russell for a long time, so she agreed without hesitation. After work, ra went to a restaurant to meet Russell.
“ra, I’ve heard about Laura. Are you alright?” Russell cut to the chase after ra sat down opposite him. He was afraid that ra would be bothered.
“It’s okay.” ra was touched by Russell’s worried look and thought Russell was almost the only one who cared about her. “Grandpa, you don’t have to worry about me. I’m fine and I can deal with that myself.”
Hearing ra’s words, Russell looked at ra even more worriedly. He wanted to say something but stopped.
ra realized Russell wanted to say something important rather than onlyfort her.
“Grandpa, do you have something to share with me? Is it about Laura?” ra asked with a serious look.
Hearing this, Russell nodded. “You asked me to investigate the kidnapping ten years ago, and my people do find something new about it.”
ra turned upset when hearing this. “Grandpa, now that Laura is back and she has told us what happened ten years ago, you can ask your people to stop. Thank you for what you did these days.”
Russell, however, shook his head. “I’ve read Laura’s exnation in the newspaper, but it is different from what my people said.”
“Then what on earth happened?” ra asked anxiously. She did not expect what Russell’s people found to be different from what Laura said.
“I purposely had someone look into the cleaner, ording to Laura, who saved them. However, some said that the cleaner was ying cards with some people instead of cleaning there that day.”
“Then, Grandpa, do you mean Laura is lying?” Hearing Russell’s words, ra was both a little shocked and puzzled. “But why does she lie?”
“I’m not very sure because we haven’t seen the whole picture.” Russell couldn’t figure this out either. “But ra, I’ve never liked Laura. I have thought she was too shrewd since she was a child. Then you’d better be careful when you get along with her.”
“Well, I see, grandpa.” ra seriously answered.
After finishing the meal and leaving the restaurant, ra found it increasingly strange on the way home. ording to Russell, there was no doubt that it was Laura who lied. What she said in the Hutchinson family couldn’t hold water at all.
But why did Laura lie? If the cleaner hadn’t saved her, how could she have escaped from the fire?
Haunted by these questions, ra called Laura and offered to talk with her, wanting to ask about these questions face to face.
Hearing ra’s request, Laura agreed without any hesitation.
“Then see you at the cafe that we saw when shopping.” After that, ra hung up the phone and went to the cafe in confusion.
When ra arrived, Laura had not yete. ra ordered a cup of coffee for herself and slowly drank it, trying to get her thoughts together.
If ra cut to the chase, Laura would definitely deny she was lying. Then ra needed to find a way to prove Laura was lying and to get the truth out of her.
When ra was deep in thought, she was woken up by the gasps around her.
Looking up around, ra found that everyone was whispering and looking towards the door with amazement.
Following those people’s gaze, ra saw that Laura was walking this way.
Laura was dressed in a light blue embroidered shirt, a ck leather skirt, and a pair of white strappy heels.
Laura looked elegant, innocent, and beautiful, nearly attracting the attention of all people in the cafe.
Nheless, ra was not in the mood to appreciate Laura’s appearance and clothes, ovee by the question why Laura lied. Russell never lied to ra, so Laura was the one who didn’t tell the truth. Then what had happened back then?
“ra, what made you want me to have coffee with you?” Under men’s fascinated gaze and women’s jealous gaze, Laura walked opposite ra and sat down.Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.
ra made an excuse. “Nothing serious. I happened to be avable and I don’t want to be alone.” ra continued, “I’m sorry to disturb you.”
“It doesn’t matter. I’m also avable now.” After saying so with a smile, Laura ordered a cup of cappino from the waiter.
“Laura, do you remember what the cleaner who saved you looked like?” ra asked Laura casually.
Hearing this, Laura got alert, “Why do you ask me this?”
“Logan mentioned this to me and said he wanted to give all his proper thanks to that cleaner, but he couldn’t find him.” ra thought it was a reasonable excuse.
“I work at a magazine, so he wanted me to do him a favor. But I don’t know anything about that cleaner, so I hope you can tell me what he is like so that I can find him as soon as possible.”
