Chapter 187 Fishy (2)
“Ms. Horton… what were you doing?”
Valerie’s brow had already furrowed.
This wound doesn’t look like it was caused by a simple fall.
“Who did it?”
Valerie had a serious expression, which made Zoe even more afraid to speak. She could only lower her head and stutter.
Valerie sighed helplessly upon seeing Zoe, who remained the same as before.
“Ms. Horton, if someone else caused this injury to you, then I will take measures. As you are currently in a special period, every situation needs to be reported. If there is no reasonable explanation later, everyone in the Horton family will be suspected.”
Sure enough, after listening to these words, Zoe immediately lifted her head and shook it.
“No, no, it’s not, it’s not someone from the family…”
The look in the eyes was very sincere, but it turned out to be not true.
Why did she burn herself?
“Zoe, please don’t do this kind of thing again.”
“Got it…”
This matter came to an end.
Tonight, the Horton family had dinner. Unusually, Valerie stepped into their restaurant and thoroughly inspected all the food inside. After confirming everything was in order, she once again left the restaurant and returned to the living room to eat her own meal.
“What, what happened?”
The Horton family, who had always wanted to get closer to Valerie, were delighted to see her step into the restaurant.
Bruce and Tristan did not show any expression, but their eyes were all focused on the living room.
They did not speak, but their movements became brisk.
Everyone was having dinner.
Only the maid quietly returned to her own room.
In this era where smartphones were prevalent.
She took out an old-fashioned cell phone and dialed a number.
“How was it? Did you manage to make her eat it?”
“Yes, yes, I made her eat it, and both of them ate it.”
The person on the other end of the phone suddenly laughed coldly, with a mocking tone in their laughter.
“Sure enough, what’s the use of sending more people? Weren’t they still tricked by us?”
It was really useless.
“Um, me, my family!”
“Ah? I understand. As long as you complete the task, I will release
your husband and your son. Your current mission is to make Zoe, the former Miss Horton from the Horton family, suspicious of you and divert everyone’s attention toward you. Do you understand?”
The woman’s eyes instantly turned red, she clenched her teeth, and the veins on her neck bulged due to suppressed anger.
The man hung up the phone, leaving the woman with her arms. hanging weakly and kneeling on the ground in despair.
But at the same time, I also felt relieved in my heart.
Today, as I watched the lady eat, even the person next to her also ate.
Then there was nothing else to do, and my own task was considered half completed.
The sky gradually turned pitch black,
Derek’s heart was constantly in a state of turmoil today.
I always had a feeling that something bad would happen…
At night, when the bad guys are most likely to do bad things, the members of the Horton family were all asleep, making it easier for them to take action.
Val should have been clear about this.
Valerie was well aware, so she declined the proposal from the Horton family and stayed in Zoe’s room until someone in the house woke up in the morning and asked her to sit in the living room while they rested.
Kieran looked at Valerie, whose eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he suddenly froze.
After hesitating for a while, he finally decided to approach and strike
up a conversation with Valerie.
“Ms. Bowman, have you noticed something? Are those human traffickers around our house?”
