Louis Lawrence raised an eyebrow, smirking playfully, "Can’t handle it?"
"But he’ll probably be chasing a dead end." Elijah said with a mischievous grin.
"Hmm?"
"Just got the news, Matthew Lawrence went to the airport an hour ago."
Louis Lawrence immediately sat up straight, his eyes slightly narrowing.
His fingers resting on the table slightly curled, finally clenching into a tight fist, with whitened knuckles.
"Boss, what’s wrong?" Elijah noticed something was off with Louis Lawrence and quickly asked.
Louis Lawrence closed his eyes, concealing the struggle and guilt within them.
"It’s nothing, don’t worry about it." Louis Lawrence said coldly.
He probably knew what Matthew Lawrence went to do, but he couldn’t do anything about it.
He didn’t even dare to tell Mason Bennett.
He could only comfort himself that nothing would go wrong...
...
Just as Louis Lawrence guessed, Matthew Lawrence went to Brocade City to meet Bella Green.
Meanwhile, at the manor.
After getting the response that Matthew Lawrence would meet her, Bella Green kept herself locked in the room.
There were many things she couldn’t understand.
The most puzzling was why Matthew Lawrence wanted to kill her?
Although he had arranged for someone to be ready to rescue her from the water, there was still a high chance she would die...
What if they couldn’t dodge that truck?
They might not even need to fall off the bridge; they would die.
Bella Green buried her face in her knees, hiding all her emotions.
Suddenly, she raised her head abruptly, her eyes wide open, pupils shaking vigorously.
The next second, she charged out of the room like a cannonball, not even wearing shoes.
Bella Green felt a wave of fear.
If the main target wasn’t herself, then who did Matthew Lawrence want dead?
There were only three people in the car – besides herself, it was Mason Bennett and Elliot Morris.
He wouldn’t go to such lengths to take the life of an assistant.
Then it must be...
He wants Mason Bennett dead!
This realization made her even harder to accept.
She ran straight to Chloe Johnson’s room, without bothering to knock, she burst through the door.
The door slammed into the wall with a loud sound.
Chloe Johnson was startled and when she turned back, she saw Bella Green standing barefoot at the door, she quickly went over.
"What’s going on? Why aren’t you wearing shoes?"
Chloe Johnson complained while grabbing her own slippers to put on Bella Green’s feet.
But at this moment, Bella Green wasn’t in the mood for any of that.
"Mom, I have something to ask you."
Listening to Bella Green’s urgent tone, Chloe Johnson pursed her lips, knowing what she wanted to ask wouldn’t be simple.
After a moment, she sighed, pulled Bella Green into the room, and closed the door.
"What do you want to ask?"
Bella Green sat on the edge of the bed, took a breath, then asked very seriously and gravely.
"Matthew Lawrence isn’t my father, is he?"
These words fell like a muffled thunder on an otherwise calm surface.
Chloe Johnson tried hard to keep her facial expression unchanged, but her slightly trembling hand on her knee exposed her not-so-calm inner state.
Seeing this, Bella Green wasn’t sure whether to be happy or sad.
The man with the dual nature, the devil-like man, really wasn’t her father...
"He knows too, doesn’t he?"
Bella Green asked again.
Chloe Johnson painfully buried her face in her hands and couldn’t stop herself from sobbing.
If she could, she truly wished Bella Green would just accept Matthew Lawrence as her father.
Because only in that way would that man soften, and Bella Green would be the safest.
"Bella, just pretend you don’t know about this, okay? Be good, don’t bring up this matter, especially in front of the second master."
