NovelOnlineChapter 1258: Since the moment she had first laid eyes on Darwin, she had fallen in love with him.
She had always believed he was meant for her.
But now, Zaria realized, he actually liked someone else.
She couldn't tolerate that.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPulling out her phone, she dialed a number.
"I need you to dig into someone named Belinda Wright. She's a close friend of Darwin's. Get back tothe instant you find anything. That's all for now." She then ended the call, pocketed the device, and slipped into her car to leave.
Meanwhile, back in the private dining room, Belinda recounted her encounter with Darwin to Lucas.
Lucas listened quietly, a slight twitch of his brow betraying his thoughts, though he kept them to himself. After the meal, they returned to Lucas's place.
Following a short rest, Lucas headed to his office, while Belinda hailed a cab to Soling's largest mall for shopping. She had only visited two stores when suddenly, two menacing bodyguards in black appeared in front of her.
Confronted by this unexpected sight, Belinda felt a jolt of shock ripple through her.
What was going on? "Miss Wright, our boss would like to see you," one of the bodyguards said.
"Who is your boss?" Belinda asked, her brows furrowing slightly.
"Mr. Happer," the bodyguard replied.
Mr. Happer? Hearing the name, Belinda instantly thought of Carola.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Happer family was based in Soling. This boss the bodyguard spoke of must be Carola's father, Galen.
"Where should I meet him?" Belinda asked.
"Right in that coffee shop.” The bodyguard pointed at a coffee shop across the street.
Belinda lowered her eyes and thought about the matter for a moment before eventually agreeing.
After escorting Belinda to the café, the bodyguards led her to a private room.
They opened the door and gestured for her to enter. "Please, Miss Wright."
Belinda took a moment to peek inside the room. An elderly man was seated on one side of the sofa, clearly waiting for her.
Belinda recognized him immediately, confirming her guess. The man was indeed Galen Wapper, Carola's father En and Kylee's grandfather.
Only then did Belinda step inside. As soon as she did, the bodyguards closed the door behind her.
