Chapter 799


    Seeing ine''s furious grimace, he didn''t dare to be so excited anymore and muttered, "I was up


    pretty early."


    "Why didn''t you wake me up then?"


    "I wanted to, but Mr. Lawson told me not to disturb you and to let you rest for a while longer."


    Realizing that it was Ruben''s idea, she red at him who was having breakfast leisurely. Then, he


    said casually, "You don''t even hear us as we make so much noise, so don''t me us for not waking


    you up."


    ine''s re was still fixated on him.


    Why was it her fault now?


    "Alright, don''t just stand there. Come over and eat," Ruben beckoned with his hand.


    However, ine stood still.


    "You don''t like Vincent, but do you have a problem with me?" Ruben looked like he was


    heartbroken. "Don''t you want to eat the breakfast I made? Do you hate me too?"


    ine snapped, "Of course, not. Don''t say that. I don''t want to owe you a favor, so..." "It''s just


    breakfast. Come and eat quickly. It''s getting cold."


    Paul continued after him, "He''s right. Come and eat. I''m starving."


    It wasn''t until Ruben pulled her to the chair that she sat down quietly. ncing at the breakfast on


    the table in awe, she realized that they were indeed her favorites.


    She took a look at Ruben and asked curiously, "Can you cook, Mr. Lawson?"


    "Oh, no, I can''t." Ruben drank his coffee and continued, "I didn''t make this."


    Did the maid cook it for him? But she didn''t see any maid in this vi.


    As if knowing what she was thinking, Ruben stated, "Morgan ordered the maids to deliver this early


    in the morning. He is worried that you are hungry, so he ordered the maid to cook a feast for you. In


    fact, he asked you not to wolf down the food today since you barely ate anything yesterday. Eat


    slowly."


    ine''s hand that held the cutlery froze.


    Ruben poured her a ss of milk and said, "Drink some milk first."


    At this moment, ine held the ss in a daze and did not know what to say.


    She appreciated that they were very concerned about her and were genuinely kind to her.


    But why did they gang up to deceive her?


    Did they think she was gullible?


    The maids, Ruben, Morgan, and Vincent... Obviously, they were all kind and good people, but why


    did theymit such bloody and terrible things?


    It was as if murder was amon agenda in their lives.


    She didn''t like this kind of people. She was just an ordinary person who wished to live a simple and


    normal life, but things went contrary to her wishes.


    W-Who on earth were they?


    "What are you thinking about?" Ruben asked as he poured her another bowl of cereal and ced it


    in front of her. "Eat this first."


    She lowered her eyes.


    Ruben looked at her again and asked, "Why don''t you eat?"


    "Hmm," said ine in a low voice. "I will."


    She picked up the ss of milk and took a small sip.


    At this moment, Paul, who had remained silent, said, "Mr. Lawson is so kind to you."


    There was no expression on her face. "Shut up and eat your breakfast."


    With a hum, Paul stopped talking and continued eating.


    After breakfast, ine went to Ruben who was sitting in the living room and expressed her intention


    to leave, "You promised us that we will leave first thing in the morning, so can you please drive us


    out?"


    "Are you leaving now?"


    ine nodded quietly.


    "Let me call Vincent first," Ruben said as he was about to take out his phone.


    All of a sudden, a scowl formed on her face. "Why did you call him?"


    "I don''t have a car, so I have to borrow his car to send you away." Ruben blinked his eyes and said,


    "I have to tell him before I borrow something from him, right?"


    ine blinked, perplexed.


    It made sense though, and she couldn''t refute it.


    Ruben called the number of another vi and turned on the loudspeaker. As soon as it was


    connected, he said, "Vincent, ine is leaving now and I want to drive them out. Can I borrow your


    car?"


    However, Morgan''s voice came from the other end of the line, "Mr. Lawson, it''s me."


    "Oh, hi, Morgan." Ruben was puzzled. "Why did you answer the phone? Where is Vincent?"


    "He is still asleep now."


    "What? It''s sote. Why hasn''t he got up yet?"


    "He couldn''t sleepst night, and he said that he didn''t feel so well this morning, so he was taking a


    nap." Morgan smiled bitterly and continued, "You know that no one can disturb him when he


    sleeps."


    "I see..."


    "Yes."


    Ruben turned to look at ine, and ine urged him anxiously, so he cleared his throat and tried


    again, "Can I use one of the cars first?"


    After a moment of silence, Morgan replied, "I can''t make a decision on this. You have to wait until


    Mr. Bradbury is up."


    "All right then."


    Ruben hung up the phone and looked helplessly at her. "You heard him. It''s not that he doesn''t want


    to borrow his car but he''s still sleeping."


    "Don''t you have a car?" ine questioned, sounding skeptical.


    "No."


    "Then how do you get in and out of here every day?"


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    "There''s someone who always gives me a lift."


    She rolled her eyes speechlessly.


    Finally, she took a deep breath and said, "It doesn''t matter that you don''t have a car. We can just


    walk out of here. Maybe there''s a good Samaritan out there who can give us a ride."


    After that, she went to ask Paul to leave with her.


    Ruben sighed and got up. "Miss Jacob..."


    On the other hand, Paul looked reluctant. "It will take hours for us to get to the city center. It''s so


    exhausting. I don''t want to go. Let''s wait."


    "What are we waiting for?" ine''s face was unsightly.


    "For your friend to wake up, then we can borrow a car from him..."


    "Fine. You can wait by yourself. I''m leaving now," ine sneered.


    "Hey... Hey!" Paul stopped her. "Where are you going? It''s so hot outside. We''ve just finished


    breakfast, so let''s take a rest first."


    Looking at him thoughtfully, she asked, "Paul, don''t you want to leave?"


    Shrinking sheepishly, he blurted, "Well, I think it''sfortable here. Why would you want to walk all


    the way to the city? We''d better wait for your friend to wake up and ask him to drive us away."


    To put it bluntly, he didn''t want to suffer the hardship.


    ine didn''t expect that he would forget how horrible Vincent was.


    It was only yesterday that Vincent scared the crap out of him, but in just one night, he was not afraid


    of him anymore.


    Ruben came over and said, "He is right. Why do you have to walk if we have a car? Miss Jacob,


    let''s wait for a while. Besides, it''s already noon. Maybe Vincent will wake up soon."


    Annoyed by their relentless pestering, she gave in and huffed, "Fine, I''ll wait, but if he doesn''t wake


    up after an hour, well leave anyway."


    With a happy look on his face, Paul tittered boldly, "I see that they''re all nice to you. Can you treat


    them better?"


    How did she treat them anyway? She was nice too, wasn''t she?


    She threw a re at him.


    "Also, although Mr. Bradbury scared the crap out of me for the whole night, he let me go in the end


    for your sake, which proved that you are somewhat important to him. He likes you, doesn''t he? Mr.


    Bradbury is not only richer than Allen, but he also treats you better. You might as well be with him."
