Chapter 239 Trap for Andy Lee 1
“Drink it before you go to sleep!” He said in a bewitching voice, holding the bowl to my mouth.
I didn’t like this drink. After two sips, I could hardly drink it.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Eat the egg!”
I frowned. “I’ve already brushed my teeth. I won’t eat it.”
“I’ll take you to brush your teeth again later, drink it, and go to bed early.” He was too tough for me to refuse.
After all these years, I knew if I kept spending time with him, I’d be the one to lose, so I tried to eat the egg.
I didn’t recover well from the miscarriage, and with my period, I felt groggy.
The first day I slept well, but I was probably not getting enough blood, so I felt dizzy.
Dennis had a lot to do and he had to prepare for the annual party, so he asked Nanny Daisy to stay at the villa and take care of me.
I lay in bed for a while and couldn’t sleep, so I played with my cell phone for a while, and the phone rang.
I picked up the phone and said, “Hello, Mr. Lee!”
Andy Lee was smart and smooth, hearing my voice, he laughed and said, “Did you sleep well last night, Miss Kennedy? May I have the honor of inviting you to lunch?”
“Sure, thank you for your treat then.”
“It’s my honor.”
Before I could get out of bed, Jackie called.
“Well, did Andy set up a meeting with you?” She went straight to the point.
I nodded and said, “Well, you’re pretty quick!”
She smiled. “I only heard this morning that Sam Bates had been detained by the police. The police station has proof of his dirty income over the years, running into hundreds of millions, which is already criminal. He’s expected to get at least ten years in prison.”
“But Andy seems to have disappeared. He must have received the message ahead of time. By the time the police got to Andy’s house, he was gone. On second thought, he’s got the best chance of going to you!”
Her affirmation made me wonder, “How did you know he’d come to me?”
She laughed. “He should have thought of you after what happened to Steven. But he hesitated for so long that he finally came in such a mess. If he’d come to you sooner, Luna might have been the one being hunted around.”
She was right. Link was in charge of official affairs. And in the case of the merchant, to put it plainly, if he were punished, the consequences would not be as serious as Sam Bates’.
If he had come to me earlier, he might have had a chance to make things right.
“Well, how’s it going at Lewis’s?” I asked casually.
“I heard that Folly Lewis is back from the Middle East. She was born when Samuel Lewis was 60. He dotes on her, so she is spiteful and difficult to deal with. She didn’t seem to like Luna and Olivia very much, so she came back and gave them a lot of trouble.”
I smiled and got out of bed. “Looks like Luna’s going to be busy.”
She smiled. “Sam Bates got caught, and if anything happens to her, she’ll probably give it away. What are you gonna do about Sam Bates’ wife? It shouldn’t be too hard to get something out of him.”
“I haven’t decided yet!” I looked up at the clock and said, “But Andy Lee came to me, so it would be much easier. Sam Bates’ wife shouldn’t be a problem either.”
She said, “Well, go ahead and do your work!”
I nodded and was about to hang up when she suddenly added, “By the way, there’s something I almost forgot to tell you.”
“What?”
“It was about Mario Bennett. Nothing serious happened to the George family, right?” she said tentatively, “It’s not over with the hospital, but there seems to be another incident, a big one in Newton Town. It says the George family had only been working on a construction site for two months when they found the children of the people who lived nearby buried alive. And not just one, there are more of them. This is a big deal, and for now, it looks like the whole George family will be suspended.”
I was dull for about a few seconds and didn’t respond, “When did it happen?”
“About two or three days ago. It’s not public yet, so Dennis seems to be keeping it quiet. But this involves human life, and it can’t be solved that easily. I guess this is a real blow to the George family.”
“Okay, I got it.” The news really took my mind off it. How did that happen?
Dennis had done a great job with the company over the years. What happened last time about the hospital was so crazy enough, how could somebody get killed this time?
If this got out, the whole George family will be destroyed.
“There’s another thing I know by accident. Around the time you miscarried, it looks like Diana went to Mario Bennett. I don’t know exactly what happened, but then I heard that Diana went into premature labor.”
“Premature labor?”
I gasped. “Mario has something to do with the hospital, the construction site, and Diana?”
“I’m not sure,” she said after a pause. “I don’t know everything. The best thing you can do right now is to find Diana and ask her about the details. Maybe she knows more about What’s going on with Mario.”
After hanging up with Jackie, I called Alex, but there was no answer.
For the past three months, I’ve wondered why Diana never spoke to me directly on the phone, which gave me the illusion that they had been avoiding me. Was there something wrong with this?
I couldn’t figure out what happened and what I missed.
I didn’t want to get involved with Dennis and Mario. Even if they had a grudge, Mario wouldn’t have driven Dennis to the wall after all those years.
I was more worried about Diana. What she had with Mario, as far as I was concerned, didn’t exist. She went to Mario pregnant, which meant she was going to tell him about the baby. She was desperate to save me, but now it looked like Mario didn’t even care about that kid.
Why else would he have let Diana go into premature labor? And Diana left City P right after the birth.
I couldn’t get through to Alex, so I could only guess.
Andy Lee sent me the address, so I cleaned up and left.
In the restaurant.
Andy was already there when I got there because of a few minutes’ delay. I pushed the door open and Andy inside seemed to have been waiting for a long time. Seeing me, he jerked up from the table. “Hello, Miss Kennedy?” he said impatiently.
I nodded, walked over to the table and sat down. He smiled and said cautiously, “I’ve already ordered the dish. Hope you like it!”
I nodded without speaking, glancing briefly out the glass window to reflect Andy Lee’s restlessness.
