Chapter 309
Laughed in exasperation at Joyce’s words. However, La didn’t want to argue with Joyce in front
of Yuliana, so La simply said coldly before hanging
the phone. “Got it.”
up
La took a sip of the coffee in front of her. The coffee had ice added to it. However, the ice had long
melted into the coffee, which made the taste much lighter, but it was still slightly sour and bitter.
La wondered whether Kendrick and Joyce carelessly became friends initially or whether Joyce had
changed.
“Yuliana, I have to rush back to Sce Corporation. So I won’t be driving you home. Be careful on your
way back.” La stood up with her bag in her hand, followed by a pause. Then, La looked at Yuliana
and said, “I’ll contact you after the meeting is arranged.”
Christopher was currently in criminal detention. ording to the rules, except for thewyer,
Christopher’s family members weren’t allowed to visit him. The reason why La was able to see
Christopher in the morning was that Christopher hadn’t been transferred to the detention centerst
night after the police had interrogated him all night. La had some connections with the police, which
was why she could go in with thewyer.
However, it would not be that easy if Christopher had transferred to the detention.
center.
Scarlett was the only daughter of the Lynch family. Now it had been rumored that Christopher was the
murderer of their daughter. Given the status of the Lynch family in Juxshire, they would undoubtedly
put pressure on the higher-ups. Even if the Sce family had connections, those people did not dare to
act rashly.
Yuliana and La walked out of the cafe together. Yuliana watched as La’s driver drove the car over.
After La got in the car and left, Yuliana turned around and walked aimlessly along the street.
At this moment, Yuliana was pulled by all kinds of emotions and strangely reached a state of bnce.
She felt calm and sober.
After walking for a while, Yuliana stopped. Yuliana took out her phone and dialed Harry’s number.
The call went through, but no one answered it.
Yuliana had called three times in a row, but Harry still didn’t pick up.
Yuliana wanted to call Annabelle but suddenly remembered that she did not have Annabelle’s contact
information on her phone. Yuliana thought for a while, then she found Raymond’s number and dialed it.
After Raymond learned that Christopher had been detained, Raymond kept
inquiring about the situation and tried to use his connections. However, this time, it was regarding
someone’s death. Moreover, it involved the Lynch family’s daughter. Besides, this incident had currently
spread within the circle, and soon, the news would be all over the inte. This news would
undoubtedly be the center of attention. Therefore, Christopher would not get away with it unless he had
gotten rid of suspicion.
When Raymond received Yuliana’s call, Raymond and Leonard had just gotten information from the
police.
Yuliana asked, “Raymond, do you have Annabelle’s contact information?”
Hearing this, Raymond paused and said, “I’ve already contacted Annabelle, but her phone is turned
off.”
“Her phone was switched off?” Yuliana wondered.
Yuliana’s heart skipped a beat, and she asked, “Can you help me find her?”
“I’ve already asked someone to look for her.” Raymond paused and continued, “I’ll let you know
immediately if I have any news.”
Both parties had a tacit understanding that Annabelle was the key to Christopher’s
case.
However, what was weird was that after Annabelle and her friend separatedst night, they seemed to
have vanished into thin air, and their whereabouts could not be found.
Yuliana responded, “Thank you.”
anyone.
“Don’t be too polite with me, Ms. Livingstone.” Raymond was slightly embarrassed and mocked
himself, “I didn’t help that much. Besides, Christopher and I grew up together. I know what kind of
person he is exactly. He would never kill How could I stand by and do nothing when my good friend
was wronged and jailed? Ms. Livingstone, don’t worry too much, Chris will be fine and out soon,”
Raymondforted Yuliana.
Yuliana hummed lightly in response and said nothing else.
After hanging up the phone, Yuliana stood quietly on the street for a while, staring at the cars speeding
in front of her. Then, Yuliana’s phone rang, and she suddenly returned to her senses.
It was a call from Hailey.
“Yuliana, when will you be back?”
Along with Hailey’s voice, there was a child’s heartbreaking cry.
Yuliana was a little distracted when she heard the cry.
Hailey said, “I don’t know what happened to Roe. Just now, Roe suddenly couldn’t
stop crying. I couldn’t calm him down no matter how hard I tried.”
In fact, Hailey often helped to take care of Rowan during this time. Rowan was no longer so clingy
toward Yuliana. Most of the time, Hailey could take care of Rowan. Rowan would only require Yuliana
to be by his side when he sleeps at night.
However, about ten minutes ago, Rowan seemed frightened and suddenly started crying. Even though
Hailey took the toys Rowan loved most to calm him down, Rowan only threw them aside.
Hailey had no choice but to call Yuliana.
The child’s cry drew nearer and slowly became clearer. It also became harsher.
Yuliana let out a breath slowly and said, “I’lle home now.”
“Okay,e back quickly.”

After saying that, Hailey hung up the phone first.
Yuliana put away her phone and was about to hail a taxi, but after a few minutes, Yuliana didn’t see any
empty taxis passing by. Just as Yuliana was about to take her phone out and hail a taxi online, a Land
Rover slowly stopped in front of Yuliana.
Yuliana was stunned and looked up. She saw the car window lowered and Wesley sitting in the car.
The two looked at each other for two seconds. Yuliana didn’t speak. She still remembered how when
Rowan was kidnapped, Wesley followed her every day and saw all her dishevelment and insanity with
his own eyes.
Wesley parted his lips and asked, “Where are you going? I’ll send you there.”
Yuliana frowned imperceptibly and said, “No need to trouble you.”
Hearing Yuliana’s refusal, Wesley didn’t budge at all.
Wesley put his hand on the steering wheel, and his dark eyes still fell on Yuliana’s face, which made
Yuliana feel very ufortable. She felt a sense of strong aggression toward her.
Yuliana turned around and was about to leave when Wesley said, “I can help you.”
Yuliana was stunned and stopped immediately. She stiffened for a moment but still turned to look at
Wesley and asked, “What do you mean?”
Wesley raised his chin and said, “Get in the car.”
Yuliana pursed her lips gently. Ultimately, she walked to the other side, opened the door, and got in the
car.
Wesley nced at Yuliana from her face to her neck. She was wearing a vest with a knitted coat over it
and a pair of slim-fit light-colored jeans below. Her thick hair was tied up in a low ponytail.
Yuliana was dressed ordinarily.
However, there was always such an attractive temperament in Yuliana’s every move. That
temperament was neither shy nor aggressive, which only made people feel veryfortable and
unable to look away.
Yuliana lowered her head slightly and fastened her seat belt, but she could feel a beam of eyes staring
at her.
After fastening the seat belt, Wesley also stopped looking at Yuliana. He started the car and turned
around at the intersection ahead.
Yuliana was confused and nced at Wesley. After a while, she asked, “What do you mean by saying
you can help me?”
Yuliana was unsure whether Wesley and Christopher were still working together and if Wesley knew
about Christopher’s arrest.
Wesley looked ahead and didn’t answer Yuliana’s question immediately. After a while, he said slowly,
“What do you want me to do for you?”
