Chapter 469


    When Hannah hit me with that question, I pulled a shameless grin, "Well, that''s not my problem. I’ve


    returned the wallet. How much money they can scrape together is none of my business. In their views,


    I don’t have her damn ID! If I didn''t see it, I wouldn’t know her assets, right?"


    I threw up my hands in a gesture of innocence. Hannah couldn’t help but chuckle, "that’s right!"


    "I bet none of them have a clue how much Hazel actually had stashed away. Otherwise, they wouldn''t


    be so quiet," I spected.


    "Exactly, otherwise Jessica would''ve been after you!" Hannah nodded in agreement, "But then again,


    Jessica is so dumb. Otherwise, how could she not know about her own mom''s loot?"


    "That''s the selfishness of the Dawson n for you. Does Hazel really not know the pack of clowns


    she''s raised? If Jessica knew about her savings, she''d have swiped everything by now. Ever heard the


    saying ''there''s nothing worse than a thief within the family''?" I snarked.


    "Do you think they''ll catch onter? After all, when they went through Hazel’s stuff, there was nothing!


    No money, no valuables!" Hannah said, spreading her hands while driving.


    "What''s that got to do with me? I gave back whatever was given to me! No on can me me!" I said


    with a defiant smirk.


    " You were quick on the uptake, no hesitation, just action!" Hannahughed contentedly.


    "It was your teamwork that was on point. We figured out the mystery in no time, found our target


    without breaking a sweat!"


    "Give me a break! It was your sharp thinking that discovered the secret in the wallet, and you


    connected the dots instantly. You’re the one with the decisive moves."


    Weplimented each other andughed heartily as the car sped towards the airport.


    We were early than scheduled, so we settled down in a coffee shop, both in high spirits.


    Hannah whispered, "I just can''t wrap my head around why Hazel suddenly handed you that wallet. She


    must''ve known what was in there."


    I was just as baffled, "That''s what I can''t figure out either. But the more I think about it, the more I feel


    like Hazel''s actions weren''t impulsive or the result of confusion. When she saw me that day, she didn’t


    curse me at all. Her eyes were surprised, but not angry.


    Especially when she handed me the wallet, she was so certain, ''Take it, it’s all yours, use this money...''

    She didn’t finish her sentence, but her expression was one of relief, like she was genuinely happy to


    give it to me."


    Hannah nodded, "She even put her ID inside, it had to be genuine!"


    "It felt like a weight was lifted from her shoulders when she saw me take it... that''s the vibe I got," I


    recalled.


    "Yeah, if those things had ended up in the hands of her children, nothing would be left!" Hannah said,


    "Let it go, perhaps it was her conscience."


    "Sure!" I agreed, but then added, "Isn’t it fate, though? If I hadn''t bumped into Zora that day, if she


    hadn''t provoked me with her words, if I hadn''t gone to see Hazel, would all this be nothing?"


    "Exactly, her death was unexpected, she couldn''t have predicted she''d die that day! It all seems


    destined. It feels like everything is predetermined!"


    "That''s so true! Gives me the creeps!" I said, but deep down, I felt there was more to Hazel giving me


    her belongings.


    We sipped our coffee, chatting sporadically.


    Suddenly, Hannah nudged me. I turned to look at her and she subtly indicated a direction with a slight


    tilt of her head. Following her finger, I was shocked to see ra.


    My pupils shrank as I said, "ra?"


    It had been a while since I''d seen her. And she still owed me for lying to me for Catherine Damon.


    There she was, ra''s lean figure with a backpack, walking calmly through the crowd with a burly man


    by her side.


    I frowned immediately, and Hannah asked, confused, "What''s wrong?"


    "Are you sure?" Hannah''s eyes sharpened.


    I nodded without hesitation, "Sure, I’d recognize that silhouette anywhere!" New ch?pter av?ble o?

    Hannah nced at her phone, "We''re running out of time, I''ll go. You head to the arrivals gate!"


    "Don''t worry, I know his face!" With that, Hannah swiftly followed them.
