Loredana responded quickly this time. She took the phone and picked up the call. A woman spoke from the other line, “Are you Ms. Flores?” Loredana agreed with a grunt, “I am.”
“I wouldn’t be able to deliver the clothes you asked me to deliver. Do you have time to get the clothes from the boutique?”
“Why can’t you deliver it?” Loredana asked.
Did she write the wrong address?
“That villa was barricaded. I heard from the people around there that someone died inside. The police have already intervened…” Loredana couldn’t hear what the staff said in the end anymore. Her face became paler. Someone died?
Who?
She flinched in fear. Could it be Maxina Lennon?
“Are you okay?” Cormac frowned as he held her pale face.
“Some, something might have happened to my mom,” Her voice trembled uncontrollably.
Tears filled inside her eyes.
Cormac’s heart sank and immediately took the phone on her hand. He wanted to know who made the phone call.
However, at this moment, Loredana rushed outside crazily.
She wanted to go find Maxina.
Cormac closely chased after her. He couldn’t care and listen to the voice in the phone anymore.
She ran out without any clothes on. Cormac took the coat from the clothes rack and chased out.
He pulled her who had already lost control, “I’ll bring you there. Wear your clothes first.”
“No, I can’t wait any longer. I knew Garrett Flores wouldn’t become a better person. Why wouldn’t she believe me? I will never spare Garrett if anything happened to her!”
At this point, she probably couldn’t hide it any longer.
“Get into the car. I’ll bring you over,” Cormac zipped up his down coat.
Loredana nodded and quickly got into the car.
After Loredana got into the car, Cormac took out his phone and quickly sent Boyce Shawn a text message. He told Boyce that he was going to bring Loredana over right now and asked him to settle it there first. Cormac got into the car and started the engine. He asked, “Who called a while ago?”
“The boutique. I went to the mall to buy a down coat for my mom. I was afraid that we might quarrel again if I met her, so I just let the boutique deliver it for me. However, they called a while ago and said that they couldn’t deliver it anymore. The reason was…”
Loredana choked as she spoke.
Maxina was a weak person in her eyes. Thus, she instinctively thought that Maxina might have been killed.
Tension and fear filled her entire head. She worriedly gibbered, “What should I do, what should I do…”
Cormac held her hand, “Maxina wasn’t the one who got into the accident.”
“How, how could you know?” Loredana was taken aback.
She narrowed her eyes when she realized what was going on the next second. “You’ve known all along but didn’t tell me?”
“Don’t think too much…” Cormac said, tightening his grip on her.
“I wasn’t thinking too much, if you didn’t know, how could you tell just now?”
Her thinking was becoming clearer now that she had overcome the initial stage of terror.
A notion like this went through her mind… Cormac had a reason to hide from her.
Was it Garrett, rather than Maxina that got into trouble? And Cormac kept it hidden from her because it had something to do with Maxina?
Maxina’s plan to remarry Garrett was clear to her, and she had a purpose for it.
She regretted not stopping Maxina when she thought of this.
“How long has it been since it happened?” With her eyes lowered, she asked.
“Before the new year,” Cormac said after a little pause.
That was a few days ago.
“Is there proof?” Loredana continued.
“Garrett ingested too much nitrate, and your mother has been cooking his meals all by herself, according to the maid.”
She opened her mouth but couldn’t say anything.
Why hadn’t she seen Maxina’s motive sooner? It was all remorse and guilt.
In the middle of the breezing night, Cormac stopped the car in front of the police station of City B.
Boyce was standing at the door, and when he saw their car approaching the gate, he took a step forward. Loredana exited the car and paused at the door.
Cormac approached her, hugged and consoled her. “Boyce is here to look after her, she’ll be alright.” Loredana nodded.
Boyce said, “Let’s go.”
Boyce led them to his station office, where he had made plans to bring Maxina over tonight.
“I’d like to have a private conversation with her.” Loredana expressed herself.
Boyce looked at Cormac and said after he permitted. “Come in, I’ll bring her over later, no one will be here today.”
Meaning she could talk to Maxina without fear of being monitored or eavesdropped on.
Loredana entered the office with a nod.
Boyce cleaned up the place and made it look neat and tidy.
Loredana sat on the sofa, her mind blank, she was eager to meet Maxina and inquired whether what she had imagined was true.
Her body froze with her back straightened as the door was pushed open, but she was scared to turn her head.
While Maxina’s steps sounded cautious, Boyce poured two glasses of water and placed them on the table. “Take your time,” he said.
They were free to stay as long as they wanted.
