Layla laughed in exasperation at Joyce’s words. However, Layla didn’t want to argue with Joyce in front of Yuliana, so Layla simply said coldly before hanging
the phone. “Got it.”
up
Layla 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.
Layla wondered whether Kendrick and Joyce carelessly became friends initially or whether Joyce had changed.
“Yuliana, I have to rush back to Solace Corporation. So I won’t be driving you home. Be careful on your way back.” Layla stood up with her bag in her hand, followed by a pause. Then, Layla looked at Yuliana and said, “I’ll contact you after the meeting is arranged.”
Christopher was currently in criminal detention. According to the rules, except for the lawyer, Christopher’s family members weren’t allowed to visit him. The reason why Layla was able to see Christopher in the morning was that Christopher hadn’t been transferred to the detention center last night after the police had interrogated him all night. Layla had some connections with the police, which was why she could go in with the lawyer.
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 Solace family had connections, those people did not dare to act rashly.
Yuliana and Layla walked out of the cafe together. Yuliana watched as Layla’s driver drove the car over. After Layla 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 balance. 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 internet. 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 separated last 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,” Raymond comforted 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’ll come home now.”
“Okay, come 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 uncomfortable. 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.” This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Yuliana pursed her lips gently. Ultimately, she walked to the other side, opened the door, and got in the car.
Wesley glanced 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 flashy nor aggressive, which only made people feel very comfortable 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 glanced 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?”
