Chapter 249 All Sorts of Doubts
At this moment, Jared was completely sure that Makenna was not Maple Leaf.
If Makenna was Maple Leaf, why did she burn the letters they made, instead of keeping them save and taking them out for reminiscence occasionally?
Because Makenna was afraid that if he continued to keep those letters, he would expose her disguise one day.
Looking at Jared’s trembling body as if he was suppressing his wrath, Shonna swallowed in fear. “Jared, what… what’s wrong with you?”
Jared didn’t answer. He took out his mobile phone and dialed the phone number.
Ben yawned and said in a sleepy voice, “Mr. Farrell, what’s the matter?”
“Come to the Farrell’s Mansion. I have something to ask you.” After that, Jared hung up the phone.
However, Ben was sitting on the bed in perplexment.
Why did Mr. Farrell ask him to go to the Farrell’s Mansion now?
Ben took the phone from his ear and looked at it. It was almost 12 am. 12 am!!
Going to the Farrell’s Mansion in the middle of the night?
Couldn’t Mr. Farrell just say what he wanted directly on the phone? Why did let him go to the Farrell’s Mansion?
Although Ben was full of complaints, he had to get out of bed with a wry face. After a while, he drove to the mansion.
At about one o’clock in the morning, Ben stood in Jared’s study.
“Mr. Farrell, what do you want to ask me?” Ben asked with a smile, but he was cursing in his heart.
Jared seemed to have sensed Ben’s complaints. He glanced at him and knocked on the cold desk. “Do you think Makenna is Maple Leaf?”
“What?” Ben was stunned and then he was serious. “Mr. Farrell, do you suspect that Miss Gardner is not your pen pal?”
Jared nodded noncommittally.
Ben stared at him for a while and confirmed that Mr. Farrell was not joking. After thinking for a while, he replied, “Mr. Farrell, to be honest, Miss Gardner really doesn’t seem like her. I have been with you for so many years, and I have seen you and Maple Leaf communicate with each other. I know something about Maple Leaf. She is kind, lively, and cheerful. Miss Gardner doesn’t have any of these.”
Ben glanced at Jared, afraid that he would get agitated by his words.
Unexpectedly, Jared was not angry. Instead, he was thinking about something.
Ben breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Mr. Farrell didn’t get angry at him because he belittled Miss Gardner.
But why did Mr. Farrell suddenly suspect that Miss Gardner was not Maple Leaf?
Ben scratched his hair in confusion.
After a while, Jared finally opened his mouth and said in a slightly cold voice, “Yes, Makenna doesn’t have any of these, so how can she be Maple Leaf?”
Hearing this, Ben finally realized something. He pushed his glasses and asked, “Mr. Farrell, did you know something? Thus, you suspect that Miss Gardner is not Maple Leaf?”
No wonder Mr. Farrell’s attitude towards Makenna had changed drastically in the past two days.
That was right. The reason why Mr. Farrell treated Makenna so well was because Makenna was Maple Leaf. However, if Makenna wasn’t, then Mr. Farrell wouldn’t definitely treat her as before. After all, the person that Mr. Farrell truly loved was Miss Reed.
“When I was busy in the past, you received the letter from Maple Leaf for me. You should know her address, right?” Jared narrowed his eyes and asked without reply.
Ben nodded repeatedly. “I remember. Mr. Farrell, do you want me to go over there and check if Maple Leaf is Makenna?”
“Yes.” Jared agreed.
Ben replied, “OK. I’ll go to Cobalt Coast… Wait a minute!”
Ben suddenly realized that something was wrong, and he was shocked.
Jared frowned. “What’s wrong?”NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
“Mr. Farrell, it’s too strange. Maple Leaf lives in Cobalt Coast and the Gardner family’s villa is located at East Aspen. These two regions are in different direction, nearly 60 kilometers apart. Moreover, the Gardner family has been living in East Aspen for more than 20 years and never moved. So now it’s very clear. Makenna is indeed not Maple Leaf!”
Jared’s hands were trembling and his body tensed up.
That’s right. If Makenna was Maple Leaf, then the sender’s address would only be from East Aspen, not Cobalt Coast.
Just as Jared was thinking about it, Ben, who was sitting opposite the desk, said, “Mr. Farrell, I remember you said that Maple Leaf had a dog, right?”
“Yes, Spotty.”
“That’s right. But the Gardner family has never had a dog. And you once said that Maple Leaf had a stepmother and a younger sister, but Mrs. Gardner is Mr. Gardner’s only wife. In addition to these, Makenna’s handwriting is fishy as well. Although she rarely wrote anything after leaving the hospital, she scribbled some words in your office when she was bored last month. I found that her handwriting was completely different from Maple Leaf’s.” Ben said in a serious voice.
Although Ben had not seen what Maple Leaf had written in the letters, there was always a handwritten address on the envelope sent by her. Her handwriting was very beautiful. However, Makenna’s handwriting was very ordinary and had nothing special.
Even if Makenna had been in a coma for six years, she would be unfamiliar with writing after waking up, and the handwriting would not be good-looking. But with her recovery, Makenna’s handwriting would return to her original appearance. This was muscle memory, so it was unreasonable that Makenna’s handwriting had completely changed.
Thinking of this, Ben was confused. “Mr. Farrell, the more I think about it, the stranger I feel. These are all suspicious points, and sometimes Makenna is full of loopholes. But why haven’t we found anything wrong with it? Now since I recall it, I find that it is such a serious problem.”
Jared looked down and remained silent.
What Ben had said just now made him suddenly come to realization.
Even though Makenna had given herself away in so many aspects, he just couldn’t notice them. Not only him, but even Ben had ignored them. It was obvious that something was wrong.
But he probably knew why he couldn’t find it, because of that mysterious power.
However, he didn’t expect Ben had also been affected by that mysterious force.
“Mr. Farrell, why are you looking at me like that?” Ben asked in confusion.
Jared pursed his thin lips and said in a hoarse voice, “Nothing. Go to Cobalt Coast tomorrow and find real Maple Leaf.”
Maple Leaf was the one he really loved!
“Okay!” Ben nodded and then thought of something. He hesitated for two seconds and said, “What about Makenna…”
Jared’s eyes glinted with a dangerous light. “I will deal with it. I will teach her a lesson that Maple Leaf is not someone she could mess with.”
Hearing the coldness in his tone, Ben shivered. He knew that Makenna was doomed.
But she deserved it. Who let her pretend to be Maple Leaf and deceive Mr. Farrell for six years?
Ben pushed his glasses, smiled gloatingly, and turned to leave.
After Ben left, Jared got up and went to the floor-to-ceiling window of the study. Looking at the night outside, he frowned tightly.
He was wondering what kind of mysterious power it was and why it was controlling him to love Makenna. What secrets did Makenna have?
Jared was staggered at all these things. He thought that everything was normal, but he didn’t expect that he had been controlled by a mysterious force since who knew when.
Thinking of this, Jared’s head began to hurt again. Strange images started to flash across his mind again, and he couldn’t help but pound his head in pain.
