Chapter 300
Preston had just returned home when his phone rang.
He threw the keys on the shoe cabinet, picked up the phone, glanced at the screen, and answered, "Olivia"
"Mr.Smith, the police found my notebook for me" Preston stopped changing his shoes.
Olivia's voice continued.
"The police said they got a report from the crowd, and then they caught someone.I asked the people who were caught.They were young unemployed slackers.They said they didn't see my computer." Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
"But I was not convinced and I felt someone else was behind their back."
But she had no evidence to back her up.Now, she didn't know what to do.
Should she believe them or not? So, she called Preston.
After hearing Olivia's words, Preston looked forward and a smile appeared in his eyes.
The smile was indescribable.
It was as if he had thought of something.
"What did the police say?"
"The police said they checked the time, where the two of them went, and what they said.They probably didn't use the computer because both of them had primary school degrees"
It was impossible for anyone with just a primary school education to decipher computer passwords.
"Then the police should be right.I'm canceling the press conference" He said directly.
Olivia frowned.
"Mr.Smith" "What's wrong?"
"I...I'm not so sure."
Preston felt the uneasiness in her voice, completely different from the firmness in the morning.
His lips curved.
"What's wrong? Don't you trust the police?"
"No, I believe in the police.I just don't think it's right."
When her things were stolen, it was reported to the police by someone immediately.
How could it happen so fast? Or was she really that lucky? She did not believe in such luck.
And what the two of them said seemed reasonable but could not withstand scrutiny.
"Trust me, Olivia.That's it."
Preston said in a steady voice.
He believed in Everett.
No one could stop him from getting what he wanted.
Olivia listened to Preston's steady and powerful voice.
A few seconds later, she said, "Okay, I believe you, Mr.Smith”
There was a force in his voice that suppressed her uneasiness.
Olivia got in the car, went back to the hotel, and checked out.
She was going back to H City.
There were still many things waiting for her to do.
Preston hung up the phone, put on his slippers, walked in, and sat down on the sofa.
Honey ran down, jumped onto the sofa, and squatted beside him.
Preston stroked its head and leaned back against the sofa.
His eyes were wide open as he looked at the void ahead.
Not long after he called Everett, he canceled tomorrow's new brand launch.
But he didn't call Olivia.
His instinct told him that he had to wait for Olivia to call him back.
Indeed, Olivia called him back and told him the police had found the computer.
And it was because of a report from the local people.
A report from the local people...
Hearing this, he really wanted to laugh.
But he couldn't.
He had always been quick and resolute, but now he had to beat about the bush to finally get the job done.
He didn't know if it was good or bad.
He just felt like something was getting out of hand.
Olivia called Logan on the way back to the hotel.
She had no ID card and couldn't travel by public transportation.
She wanted to ask him if there was any other way to get toH City without an ID.
Now she had to go back to H City and acquire the necessary papers.
Otherwise, it would greatly affected her afterwards.
"Yes, there is."
"What is it?"
"We need ID cards for the buses here, but one car doesn't."
"What car?"
"Combination car"
"A combination car?"
"Yes, they are similar to taxis.They specialize in traveling between Silkworm Town and H City.The fare is a little more expensive than a bus, but it's very convenient for it would take you directly to your home"
It was Olivia's first time hearing transportation like this.
She frowned slightly.
"Is it safe?"
"Don't worry about that.They are run by a local company.It's a very legit business.Sometimes I'm too lazy to drive and I will take their car too."
"Okay, as long as it's safe."
"When are you leaving? I'll arrange the car for you now" Olivia looked at the time and said, "About ten o'clock"
"Okay, I'll make the call now."
Olivia looked out the window.
It was ten past nine.
It would be just about time for the car to come if she checked out now.
When Olivia returned to the hotel, Logan called.
"Miss Hadley, I've arranged the car for you.I gave them your number.They'll contact you soon" "Okay, thank you"
"You're welcome"
"Call me if you need anything."
"Okay”
Olivia packed her suitcase.
It was full when she came here, but empty when she was about to leave.It was really a tragic loss for her to take this trip.
Olivia smiled bitterly and wen downstairs with the suitcase to check out.
She had just checked out whether phone rang.She took out her cell phone and was startled to see the name on the screen.
