Chapter 1336 Why Are You Following Me?
Lanie sank into deep thought for a while after he heard Rainie's account. It was
relatively peaceful when he got home from school, which meant that Old Master
Crawford was not angry at Bianca. It seemed that the woman had managed to
appease
him.
"Let's not tell Great-Grandpa for now," he said.
Rainie nodded in agreement. "I cooperated with her and didn't call out her lies or
say anything that I'm not supposed to. I want to wait until Daddy comes back."
Lanie and Rainie believed that Luke was the only person in the family that would
be able to help them solve the problem.noveldrama
"When Lanie heard that, he took out his phone and sent a message to his father,
asking when he would return to A City.
After Rainie watched Lanie type the message and send it, she continued asking,
"Daddy doesn't know about what happened yesterday, right?"
"No, Daddy doesn't know. Great-Grandpa was the one who ordered the search for
you." Lanie patted Rainie's head and said endearingly, "I'm sorry that this
happened to you. I didn't manage to protect you."
Rainie shook her head. Lanie had always behaved like her elder brother, even
though he was older than her by only a few minutes. He was still a child.
"You don't have to worry about me, Lanie. I'll be stronger so that I can protect
myself," she said.
As Lanie stared intently at the phone screen waiting for his father's reply, he
thought that Rainie was lucky to have Luca around. Without Luca, that woman
would not bring Rainie back home so quickly.
Half a minute later, Lanie's phone made a sound.
Lanie saw that Luke had replied to his message, saying that he needed three
more days to settle the business in New York, after which he would return
immediately.
Rainie also saw the message and sighed. "Daddy is working really hard. Should
we still tell him about it?"
If Luke knew that their mother was an impostor, he would definitely want to search
for the whereabouts of the real Bianca. Lanie and Rainie did not want their father
to overwork himself juggling between company business and searching for their
mother...
"That woman must have a reason to show up at our house. After what happened
yesterday, I don't think we should keep it a secret." Lanie seemed determined.
Even though they knew that Bianca was an impostor, they were only children and
could not do anything about it. If that woman had the intention to harm Rainie,
they would be powerless to stop that.
The only way to stop the threat was to tell the truth to their father.
When Rainie heard Lanie's reasoning, she nodded in agreement.
The next day, while Luca was at work, she received a phone call from Amur.
"Luca, are you free to come over here for a bit?"
Luca could hear from Amur's tone that he was in trouble. She put the test tube
away, walked out of the laboratory, and asked, "What happened?"
"Ms. Carter spotted me, and she is stopping me from leaving. I need you to come
over here and clear up the misunderstanding." While Amur said that, he glanced
warily at Sue and the two security guards next to her.
Amur was protecting Sue as usual because Jason had not returned from New
York. Sue had been wary and had caught Amur snooping, and she had thought
that Amur was someone up to no good.
He was not going to fight Sue and the security guards. With no other choice, he
decided to call Luca to help him clear the misunderstanding.
"Where are you now? I'll go to you." When Luca heard that, she went over to her
office.
"I'm at Brilliant Architecture," Amur said.
"Alright, I'll go over right now." Luca
ended the call. She had thought of
sending Sue a voice message to
explain what was going on, but after
pondering for a while, she decided
that she should explain it in person.
She took off her lab coat, picked up
her handbag, and walked out.
Sue was a wary person. Even though Luca had saved Kari before, she guessed
that it would be hard to convince Sue over the phone. That was why she decided
to go and meet her.
Luca caught a cab downstairs and went to Brilliant Architecture. On the way, she
found out from Amur that they were at the basement parking lot.
She was very familiar with the layout of the office building. After reaching there,
she instantly found Exit B.
"Amur." Luca hastened her footsteps when she noticed the people standing there.
Sue did not let her guard down when she saw Luca coming over. Instead, she
asked, "Dr. Craw, do you know this man?"
"He's my younger brother," Luca said while she searched for a file on her phone.
"Why is your younger brother following me?" Sue's gaze shifted between Luca
and Amur. The incident the day before made her very cautious today.
That was how she had discovered that Amur was following her in secret. Before
she arrived at her office, she had already informed the security guards to wait
there.
As expected, Amur followed her into the parking lot. The security guards instantly
came over and surrounded Amur.
"I asked him to follow you so that he can protect you," Luca said as she pressed
the play button for the recording.
She had recorded Bailey's conversation when she saw her at the vending
machine, and she did not expect that it would come into use so quickly.
Sue calmed down after she listened to the recording. She looked at Luca with an
inexplicable expression on her face. "Did you ask your younger brother to protect
me because you know that Bailey wants to harm me?"
"Yes. Mr. Doyle is still busy with his
work in New York, and I don't think
you'd want to bother him. My
younger brother happened to be
free, so I asked him to protect you
until Mr. Doyle is back. I plan to give
this recording to him without letting
you know." Luca did not ride the
truth from her. She knew that hiding
the truth from Sue would only make
her more suspicious.
After Sue heard that, she told the security guards, "I'm sorry. This has all been a
misunderstanding."
"It's okay," one of the security guards said. "Ms. Carter, if that person intends to
harm you, you can make a police report with the recording as evidence."
"Alright, I know." Sue thought that it
was quite embarrassing to have
caused such a huge
misunderstanding. She explained it
to Amur and Luca, "Someone was
ringing our doorbell nonstoplate at
night, and I guessed that it was done
by one of Bailey's lackey's? That's
why I was extra cautious today. I
didn't expect that you'd send
someone to protect me..."
"My younger brother is a proficient brawler. I can trust him if he's around." Luca
patted Amur's shoulder and continued asking, "I can give you a copy of the
recording if you need it."
"Yes, please. Thank you!" Sue was beginning to be angry after knowing that
Bailey was still intending to harm her after all these years. She wanted the
recording so that she could take legal action whenever necessary.
At first, she forgave Bailey because she thought that Bailey was stuck with
Jason's son. Now that she knew that Bailey would not back off, she realized that
she would have to fight back.
