Chapter 135 – The Past is Unpleasant to Look Back On
Albert gave me a thumbs up, “Daisy, maybe you’ve done another big favor!”
“Albert, are you sure you’re just a private investigator?” I asked, staring at him.
I have a vague feeling that Albert isn’t that simple, and won’t just be a private investigator, and I can detect from his tone today that his thinking and energy, as well as some of his actions, are a little bit like the official ones.
“Unlike?” He put on his hangdog demeanor again, “At the very least it will solve your problem.”
What he said afterward made me feel like verifying my suspicions, and I didn’t keep prying, but also mischievously, “I was thinking about how I was going to pay your bill when the time came, and I was afraid of going broke!”
Albert heatedly smiled, “Then let’s get Medikit Inc back on the right track!”
“I’d give anything to get it back from the devil!” I promised solemnly.
Indeed I hear him.
“Don’t be so sensitive, just don’t forget!” He reassured me.
We were both silent.
“By the way, the lawyer, Warren Dyer, recommended someone I could work with, do you know him? Said Scarlette knew him!” I suddenly remembered the man.
Albert skimmed me and raised an eyebrow, “I know everyone she knows!”
I cast a sidelong glance at Albert, why do I always get the feeling, that there is something in what they are all saying? Do I know this person too?
As soon as I heard Albert say this, I spoke without even thinking, “Then I want to meet in advance, after all, this is not an ordinary cooperation, I always have to talk to him in person, this person, since you all know each other, the reliability must not be a problem, but there always has to be a clear agreement, whether it’s a cooperation or a favor I always have to have an attitude.”
I’m not trying to hide Albert at all now, the kid is really trustworthy.
Albert’s face stared into, “Understood!”
I continued, “I need to know his terms. If this Robert approach is successful and I can get back the assets that were transferred out, I’ll initiate the next step in my plan, I don’t want to see him for one more day and I’m sure he’s contracted an STD and now that he’s a threat to me & the kids, I need to get away from him as soon as possible.”
Albert mused, “I know! This person I know, you can rest assured! People?… are absolutely reliable for you, I’ll arrange it as soon as possible, and when Robert comes back, I’ll let you guys meet!”
What is it about Albert’s comment that makes me so curious? What kind of person was it, and what was the relationship with all of them?
But I held back from asking any further questions, I always felt that if I pressed on, it would seem as if I distrusted them.
I secretly felt that maybe I had been really sick for too long and was losing touch with the community.
Albert got out of the car at the center building, raised his hand to me, and disappeared into the crowd and out of my sight.
I checked the time and started the car to go to school. Since it was still early, I went to the coffee shop across the street and ordered a cup of coffee, calming my emotions and remembering the scene where I had just met Jacob.
Jacob suffered such a tragic situation, I deeply blame myself, if I did not insist on marrying Robert in the first place, how could Jacob be so poisoned? His life was almost in danger, but fortunately he is still alive.
But there are no if’s and assumptions in life.
Back in the day, Jacob and Blake were very close, the two were in the same year and different classes, but they got along especially well, and also switched to a dormitory. The same school basketball team members, known as the unicorn duo.
These two brothers were the ones who picked me up when I enrolled as a freshman, and since Blake was also from Southend, I got to know Blake better than Jacob.
Back then they both competed to be nice to me, except Blake was more subtle than Jacob, which probably had something to do with Jacob’s personality.
And, the first time I went to the same styling store that Robert serves, these two guys accompanied me along.
Because the big New Year’s gala was held at the same time as the finals of the talent contest, everyone was excited, especially me, because I was going to be on the show, so I went there to get my hair done. They both argued about going with me, and when neither of them let the other go, they went together.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
That’s when I met Robert.
