Chapter 291 The Mysterious Man 3
Luna looked at me, hesitated for a second, and said, “Don’t worry, the police will look into it. Try and get some rest, Clara.”
I saw them off, without saying anything. I was no longer sleepy, and instead, I just sat in the living room feeling a little worn out.
“Ms. Clara, Mr. George called and asked what you would like to have for dinner tonight. He will order takeouts for you!” The nanny walked up to me and said.
I rubbed between my eyebrows and shook my head, “Please tell him that he doesn’t need to. I am going out in a while.”
The nanny was about to say something else. But seeing that my face was bad, she shut up right away.
After sitting in the living room for a while, I called Leo Kennedy directly and asked him to take me to the police station.
Leo drove over and waited for me outside the villa. He drove here in a very low-key Mercedes.
I got in the car and couldn’t help but ask, “When did you start acting so low-key?”
He started the car and said, “It’s going to get Uncle Link in trouble if we are being too ostentatious.”
I shrugged and didn’t comment further. I glanced at him and said, “By any chance, you could dig up whether Dennis and Mario Bennett have been bearing grudges against each other?”
He frowned, “Grudges? I thought they were best friends, weren’t they? What kind of bad blood would they have?”
“I am not sure what exactly it is yet. Just look into it, please.” I couldn’t figure out any convincing reason for Olivia and Yara to want to kill me so badly.
This time, these people were coming at Dennis. Yara and Olivia may have just been made the scapegoat for no reason.
Leo frowned and nodded, “Okay, I’ll look into this!”
We arrived at the police station!
Jackie Wells was waiting at the entrance. When she saw me and Leo, she froze for a few seconds, then she walked forward, pulled me, and said, “Ms. Clara!”
She seemed nervous because she was about to talk to Steven Pearson shortly.
I patted her hand and comforted her, “It’s going to be okay. Just have a chat with him casually, as to say goodbye.”
The police took her into the visiting room. Leo looked at me and said, “You’ve brought me here as your driver?”
“Would you rather leave now?”
He pursed his lips, wasn’t sure what to say for a while, “No!”
After a pause, Leo said, “I don’t think you can find out anything from Steven Pearson- It’s a waste of your time and energy. You may be able to find something from Yara George, though.”
I pursed my brows, feeling a little bit of a headache, “I have to try either way.”
“Has the identification report come out?” I asked. My voice was a little irritable.
He was stunned for a second and said, “It just came out, but according to the procedure, the appraiser will ask Dennis to take it.”
I looked at him and frowned, “I was the litigant, why can’t I take the report myself?’
He pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes slightly. “Do you want to look into it by yourself?”
I said easily, “Why not? I should at least find out who hurt me!”
Leo looked at me for a while, then he sighed and said, “Wait for me here, I will go and ask.”
Not long after he was away, Jackie came out. She looked at me and was just about to speak, but I spoke before she could.
“It’s a bit late today. Let’s have dinner together another day.”
Jackie froze for a moment, noticed Leo was walking back. So she looked at me and nodded, “Sure! That’d be great! And thank you for today.”
With that said, Jackie looked back at Leo and added, “Thank you, Mr. Kennedy!”
Leo shrugged, “Don’t worry about it. It’s getting late, we should go grab something to eat together.”
“Thanks guys, but maybe another time? I have to rush back to my hometown. You guys go ahead, I’ve got to go first.” After saying so, Jackie left.
Leo looked at me and pursed his lips. “The person you’ve hired think and act just alike you. What do you have in mind for dinner then?”
“Anything would be fine!” In response to him, I got in the car, looked at him and said, “Have the test results come out?”
He nodded, “It’s not Shawn Galaxy. They will keep tests going.”
“I already know Shawn Galaxy didn’t do this. What I am trying to figure out is the hotel guy’s identity. He may be the one who schemed up the whole thing. He also successfully made Olivia and Yara the scapegoat.” There was a message in on my phone – It was from Jackie.
I glanced at it and turned off the phone screen.
Leo was driving toward the city center. The sky was already dimming, “Uncle Link and I will keep on with the investigation. So you should not take these things to heart. Just take good care of your health. Alex has told me that your depression is getting worse than before. Seriously, if you really can’t stand staying at T Villas, you should come home with me and Uncle Link -I never liked that bastard Dennis George, anyway. Just come home, and the Kennedy’s will all take care of you.”
His words amused me, “I’m only twenty-six, should I be getting ready to just enjoy tea times and shopping everyday?”
“Well, with the Kennedy’s family businesses plus my properties, you can spend millions a day without any problem – You have nothing to worry about.”
I smiled, “Clarie Bear is probably the luckiest baby in the world. Grandpa Link and Uncle Leo have been so supportive of her in all ways possible since she was born.”
He raised his eyebrows, “Of course, she’s my lovable niece.” After a pause, he looked at me and said seriously, “Have you thought about having another baby?”
I was stunned for a moment, holding my hands tightly for a while, somehow not knowing what to say.
After the brief silence, I took a deep breath and said, “Maybe in the future.” The pain of losing the baby seemed to be lingering. When I lost the baby, I never thought of having another one. Sometimes, this kind of pain and fear was unforgettable in a lifetime.
“Que sera, sera – What will be, will be! Now you have Clarie Bear, there is no rush in having another baby anyway.”
I nodded, and my heart ached. It seemed that I was getting more and more irritable recently.
Sometimes it seemed like I didn’t know how to control my emotions.
The car was parked at the entry of a Cantonese restaurant in the city center – A parking guy stepped forward to help stop it.
Leo threw him the car keys and pulled me directly into the restaurant.
Perhaps because Leo was too handsome, as soon as we entered the restaurant, many people looked over, and there were whispers from here and there.
With a gloomy face, Leo took me into the VIP room, ordered food, looked at me and said, “You have been breastfeeding Clarie Bear recently, and you seem to have lost a lot of weight. You should eat well and consume more nutritious food.”
I smiled, but I couldn’t hide my depression. I heard what the people were whispering on my way in just now.
They were not talking about Leo, but me – I seemed to have forgotten that Dennis was a famous young entrepreneur of his family business in Newton Town, and the rumors that his wife had committed adultery with some random guy in the hotel were still going wild.
And now they saw Leo and I showed up here, of course they would be speculating in whispers.
I would probably make headlines and be called a slut every day whenever they saw me with any man.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
“What’s on your mind?” Leo tapped me on my forehead and said a bit awkwardly, “What’s kept you distracted? The food will be served shortly.”
I nodded.
Seeing my bad face, he frowned, “Clara, if one cares too much about others think, you’d get sick. If we take a look at the celebrities, they’ve all be trash-talked, and they’ve heard all kinds of ugly words. So about what happened with you, it’d be best for you to ignore what they say – We all know what happened. We’ve got you, Clara. Take it easy, okay?”
“Well, I’m fine – Now I am just craving some lobster. Do they have lobster here?” I asked and took the menu.
