Love Comes To Me
Chapter 321: People in the same boat

Now that things have come to this point, the most important thing is to stabilise Agnes and not to let a single word out of her, otherwise it will really be all over.

So Reeva changed the tone of her speech and said in a nice voice, "Agnes, I would actually do this out of necessity."

"Had to?"

Agnes on the other side of the phone snorted, "I see you're just trying to write yourself off!"

"Agnes, how can you think that about me? We're in the same boat, and no matter which one goes wrong, the other one won't get away."

This time Agnes didn't say a word.

Reeva continued, "Think about it, if I get caught, I'm sure I'll give you up too. So just to be on the safe side, I'll lie to the guy and say my name is Agnes, and that way, won't that save us both?" Agnes frowned, and from what she said, it seemed right.

But still she said, "It had better be. You'd better not play any tricks, or neither of us will be better off."

"Don't worry, I know what's at stake better than you do, so how can I play it safe?"

"Then I'll trust you for now."

Agnes hung up the phone and Reeva took it down and clutched it into her palm, looking as gloomy as ink. With the Rogers family's ability, they will soon get to the bottom of this.

She had to get out of the country before that happened.

So, she called, "Magen ..."

...

Hector's face changed subtly when he learned that Egbert had been here, and his dark eyes locked on Eloise.

Having known him for so long, there were things on his mind that Eloise could see at a glance.

Still, she pretended not to know and deliberately said, "Alumni was really nice to me, knew I was bored and gave me something to do."

Hector's eyes narrowed slightly and he asked calmly, "Better than me?"

Eloise raised her eyebrows, "What do you think?"

By the look on her face, it seemed like she was saying Egbert was better than him.

Hector was instantly upset and his voice lowered a few notches, "Eloise, you're getting bold."

At that, Eloise narrowed her eyes with a smile, "Isn't that because you spoil me?"

Then she said, "You're better than Alumni, and in my heart you're the best."

Hector instantly understood that she had just teased him on purpose.

He couldn't help but laugh, "Isn't it particularly rewarding to watch me get jealous over you?"

"Well ..." Eloise really thought hard about it, "It's not really an accomplishment, it's just that I think you're cute like that."

It's really cute to think that a man who's usually always serious and cold would give that look that only a normal man would give at a time like this! Hector frowned in disgust, "Don't use words like that to describe me."

But Eloise wouldn't listen to him.

"You're just cute, cute, cute!" And she said it several times on purpose, smiling so hard her eyes were narrowed.

"You!"

Hector was both amused and annoyed, but looking at her childish look made him feel better.

Thomas stood in the doorway, unable to enter or retreat, seeing the president and Miss Eloise so happy, he just couldn't bear to disturb them. But you still have to report on your work.

So he knocked stiffly on the door.

At the knock on the door, Eloise immediately curbs her smile and turns her head towards the door.

Only to see Thomas looking at them with an embarrassed look on his face.

She couldn't help but want to laugh, but held back and said to Hector with a straight face, "Go ahead and get busy."

"Wait for me."

"Hmm."

Hector stroked her head before turning and walking out and closing the door behind him.

Eloise looked at the closed door for a moment before slowly withdrawing her gaze and smiling uncontrollably.

She didn't know what she was smiling about, she just felt in a good mood.

...

"What is it?"

Hector looked at Thomas and opened his mouth to ask.

"I've got the results of what you asked me to look into." Thomas said, "There was an unfamiliar number in Lynn's phone records, I checked and that number was cancelled." "A write-off?" Hector frowned.

"Well, it was a write-off this morning."

They were still a step too late.

"Is there any surveillance video from the communications company?" Hector asked.

Cancellation of numbers must be done in person, as long as there is surveillance video as proof of who the other party is.

"There was. But it was just a regular guy who said someone borrowed his phone card and gave him money to get his number cancelled."

"And did he get a good look at what the other guy looked like?"

"All that was known was that it was a woman. The woman was wearing a hat and sunglasses at the time and it was impossible to see what she looked like."

In other words, the trail is broken again.

Hector's expression became stony.

"But..."

Thomas hesitates, as if there is something difficult to say.

"Just say what you have to say." Hector said.

"Here's the deal. After the police did a character sketch of the woman Lynn was talking about, I have a suspect."

"Who?"

"Miss Reeva."

Fearing that he suspected the wrong person, Thomas hastened to explain, "I've only seen that sketch, too, and I'm probably guessing." Reeva?

Hector furrowed his brows in thought for a moment, "Your guess might be right."

"Huh?" Thomas didn't get it.

"At City J, apart from Agnes, it's Reeva who has a lot of animosity towards Eloise, so she's the most suspicious."

"So what do we do now?"

Hector's eyes narrowed and he said in a quiet voice, "Get a picture of Reeva and show it to Lynn."

"Okay, I'll get on it."

Thomas led the way and hurried away.

...

Lynn stood up excitedly after seeing Reeva's picture, pointing at it and shouting, "It's her! Everything I did was at the behest of this woman." Thomas was secretly relieved to hear this.

He was really afraid that Lynn would deny it again, so that either he or the police would have to look for another lead again.

However, he did not expect to be right in his guesses.

"You must catch this woman, she's so cunning, if you're late, you won't catch anyone." Lynn said excitedly.

Now that he's in, that woman isn't going to have a good time either.

Thomas turned to the police men and said, "Reeva, Miss Reeva, you can go straight to the Lawson family and make an arrest."

But when police officers arrived at the Lawson family, Reeva had already left.

"Reeva she's out of the country." Reeva's father looked at the few policemen, his brow locked in a frown and a bad feeling in his heart, "Is there something you want with her?"

"Reeva is suspected of an assault with intent and we need to take her to the police station to cooperate with the investigation." The policeman in charge returned.

"The offence of wounding with intent?"

Reeva's father and Reeva's mother looked at each other and then said, "Comrade police, are you mistaken, how could a child as well behaved as Reeva have anything to do with any crime of assault?" "We are not sure about that. We will have to replace her and ask for clarification, and we would also be grateful if you could put us in touch with Miss Reeva."
