Chapter 148: Anger Trial of Girlfriends
“Then, you contacted me out of the blue, and I had to honor my promise, so I tipped him off right away!” She started to be playful again, “You can’t blame me for that, if it wasn’t for him, I really couldn’t have helped you, I wouldn’t have been able to be that in capable.”
“And then he sent Albert!” i asked.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Scarlette immediately gave me a thumbs up, “Brilliant! How else would I know Albert!”
“I thought you said that Albert was the leading private investigator in the business. Did you make it all up with me?” I look over at Scarlette.
“That’s all true.” Scarlette held up her hand in an oath, “Only I don’t know him, I was in a hurry to see you and was afraid you were in danger, Blake sent Albert, I wasn’t sure and he told me to rest assured that this was his cousin!”
Scarlette said with a raised eyebrow and a rather expressive face.
“You guys are so self-conscious, the whole thing is like you know each other if you’ve known each other for eight hundred years.” I skimmed a little, spitting at Scarlette.
Scarlette see me say so, immediately give her sunshine she will be bright posture, “Hey! That’s not because of Blake, besides, how much he cares about your safety ah, repeatedly reminded us, for your safety, still can’t let you too involved in danger, care like what …”
“Don’t you go off on a tangent! Let me ask you, do you know if you know he’s official?”
“I know!”
Scarlette answered rather quickly, much to my chagrin, daring me to be the only one who didn’t know anything.
“And what exactly does he do?” I immediately pressed, my eyes dead set on Scarlette.
Scarlette knew her mouth had slipped and clicked her eyes at me without answering, obviously thinking about how to respond.
I ‘snapped’ the arm of the couch, “Don’t get any small minds, honestly! What’s there to think about?”
Scarlette, with a jolt, balked in passing, “He’s … Security, isn’t he!”
My brain buzzed, no wonder, he’d tracked down Steven, no wonder Albert had said that the security services at the top had noticed Steven, no wonder it was a matter of minutes for them to track down anyone they wanted to, no wonder the people they’d put in place were all elites, no wonder they’d been able to find Jacob and had been able to rescue him from the clutches of the… …
I leaned deeply into the couch, literally speechless. Inside and its complexity, I do not know whether to be happy or sad.
“Is Warren one of them?” I asked, suddenly thinking of Warren.
“At the very least, Warren really is the most famous lawyer in Newport, I reckon …” Scarlette shrugged, stole a glance at me, and still continued, “There’s nothing wrong with that, is there ! Otherwise, Warren easily can’t hire ah!”
I propped my head up weakly and leaned there with a sigh, “Why do I feel like, I’m in trap after trap?”
“You’ve got to be kidding me! Who’s like you, hitting the jackpot, to get stuck with such an oddball hubby.”
“You complimenting me?” I asked, looking over at her.
Scarlette laughed out loud with a look of unawareness, “And to say, you’re lucky to have such a protective friend as Blake, on this matter of yours, if you didn’t have him …? Honey, you want to turn over can be too difficult!”
Scarlette was speaking the truth, “So, can you stop being so pretentious, so immediate, don’t think too much! Solve your current crisis first, then work on the next step!”
“What next?” I glared up at Scarlette, “By the way, is he something else?”
