Chapter 227 – Falling into a trap
Amara and Jessica have completely faded out of Lorenzo’s sight, he froze there for a long time without moving, just standing there and watching.
Lorenzo is not a fool and would not be able to see how much Amara has against him.
After all, he treated Amara’s best friend Jessica, Lorenzo is no longer qualified to stand by Jessica’s side, with such a good friend to accompany her more or less, or to help Jessica ease the pain of divorce.
Thinking about it, Lorenzo’s heart, it hurts as if it had been pulled.
“Mr. Fletcher, things are already like this, you’d better take care of your body first, if I’m not wrong, the black shirt is already stained with blood, it will get infected if you do this again.”
Levi stood by Lorenzo’s side and spoke worriedly.
“Some things should be said, some things should not be said, I do not want Jessica to know the reason for this matter, you know clearly in your own heart, understand?”
Lorenzo looked coldly at Levi.
“Yes.”
Levi spoke respectfully.
“That’s it.”
Lorenzo had just gotten in the car when his cell phone rang, and looked at the screen to see that it was Leila.
Lorenzo simply did not mean to answer the phone, when the three promises, he has fulfilled one by one, there is no reason to take care of this crazy woman, Lorenzo’s entire aura is very gloomy, like the Satan who walked out of hell.
Without hesitation, Lorenzo permanently blacked out Leila.
“President, this family is really getting ahead of themselves, should we make arrangements?”
Levi asked tentatively.
“Let’s leave things like this to Jessica, she’ll be able to solve it perfectly, we’ll just watch from the sidelines.”
Lorenzo mentions Jessica’s name, his eyebrows are tender, the corners of his lips are slightly hooked.
…
the of Armstrong residence.
Leila called I don’t know how many times, but there was no response at all.
The last time the cold help desk voice came, it was a reaction to the fact that Lorenzo must have blacklisted her, so the call was unreachable.
“Silly girl, what are you depressed about here? The bodyguard gave me the latest news, saw with my own eyes that Lorenzo and Jessica two people have divorced and parted ways from the office, it’s impossible to be together in this life!”
Aminah could not contain the excitement in her heart and came to her daughter and spoke excitedly.
“So tell me again, are you telling me the truth? That there really has been a divorce and that it’s never going to happen again?”
Leila looked like she was suddenly hitting the roof with excitement.
“You’re such a child, why would I lie to you? The bodyguard has seen it with his own eyes, how can such things be faked? You have to seize the time, seize every opportunity to take the initiative to approach Lorenzo, Mr. Fletcher no matter how disgusted you are, you have to find Lorenzo, as long as the rice is cooked on the line, in order to save face, Lorenzo also has no choice but to marry you home, then you are Mrs. Fletcher!”
Aminah said this as if her daughter had become Mrs. Fletcher.
“Besides, you both have the reality of a couple, it doesn’t matter if you don’t get pregnant this time, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, just act fast.”
Leila didn’t feel anything in her heart when she didn’t mention the fact that she was married.
But Lorenzo would rather stab himself with a knife to wake himself up than touch Leila, that look, simply want to tear Leila apart, want to break Leila into pieces.
Leila had worked hard for this opportunity, anticipating that Lorenzo would not be able to escape control, who knew that he would use such a crazy way to sober himself up.
Lorenzo locked himself in his room for a long, long time before walking out, and as for how he came to his senses?
Even Leila herself was not sure, after all, Leila had it in her mind that no one would make it through, but Lorenzo worked a miracle.
Lorenzo’s self-control, simply to an outrageous degree, is because of this, so Leila’s plans, as intended, are in vain.
Leila wanted to make things seamless, there was no other way but to fix herself personally. Things were getting tricky, but as long as she was willing to go out on a limb, there was still a chance for things to be salvaged.
The competition is, who is more ruthless than who!
Leila knows Lorenzo’s character too well and has always been a man of his word.
Even then Lorenzo wanted so much to open the door, so much to hold Jessica in his arms, only because she said, do not destroy Jessica’s life, even if Lorenzo’s heart is hard, but also held back.
Leila must seize any opportunity to get close to Lorenzo, and to get Lorenzo to cook with her.
When Kevin returned home, the mother and daughter were chatting away.
“What’s so happy about it?”
Kevin looks to Leila and Aminah.
“Do you have to go out for social engagements again? Why do you look so anxious?”
Leila, of course, could not tell the truth, but could only talk about it.
“Today is indeed congratulatory, my father has woken up, I must go over and take a look, otherwise I am not sure in my heart!”
Kevin.
What did father just say?
I can’t believe I woke up!
Leila and Aminah both looked at each other, very surprised, how come they suddenly woke up?
It’s obviously …
That slow poison can’t be detected at all, but how is it possible to be sober after so much time?
Dead is more like it?
“Grandpa has really woken up? Dad, you’re not talking nonsense, are you? He’s been in a coma for so long, and he hasn’t seen any signs of waking up.”
Leila spoke anxiously.
“Such a big happy event, what am I lying to you guys for? Why don’t we go and see grandpa together, we haven’t seen each other for a long time.”
Kevin tried to get both mother and daughter to go together.
“Forget it, the future is long, mother is not very comfortable now, it is not convenient to go, and I can not let my mother alone in the cold at home, congratulations to Dad.”
When Leila heard her father say that, her brain buzzed for a moment, how could she possibly go to the hospital with him?
“All right, you take care of her, I’m going.”
Kevin left in quite a hurry.
“Daughter, what do you think is going on here? How is it possible for the old man to wake up? The medicine can’t be wrong, I went through a lot of trouble to find it, that medicine and the old man’s car accident, but also by our own hand calculations, if the old man woke up, then we both will definitely go to jail ah.”
Kevin comes downstairs and there is the sound of a door lock slamming outside, and Aminah looks to Leila, alarmed.
No way!
This matter, must be stabilized!
After all, it was hard to wait until Lorenzo and Jessica divorced, and in the eyes of everyone, Lorenzo had touched her, and she was a little short of marrying into the Fletcher family.
Leila could not allow any surprises to affect her lifelong commitment .
“This matter is not yet necessarily true or false, I will find a reason to see, father will not know, you do not worry about it.”
Leila calms Aminah.
Aminah was relieved to hear Leila say that.
…
Hospital.
Leila looked at herself in the mirror in disguise, made sure she didn’t attract suspicion, added a mask, and changed her hair from the way she always wore it, before coming out of the bathroom and going to the information desk to ask where her grandfather’s hospital room was.
“Dad, you’re awake? I’m so happy!”
“Grandpa, I’m really happy to see you awake again!”
Leila secretly posted at the door of the ward and listened to both Kevin and Jessica without pushing the door in.
“Thirsty … drink …”
Grandpa’s voice, coming out of the ward, was hoarse.
Just hearing the sound is not enough to convince Leila, she does not move, slowly push the door open a gap to look inside, holding Kevin’s hands, the hands of the vicissitudes, is the grandfather’s hands, must be correct.
Leila’s brain buzzed and her whole body went limp as she sat on the floor breathing heavily.
It’s over!
The old man is really awake!
She couldn’t stay in the hospital for long, so she got up and ran out of the hospital, took a taxi back to the of Armstrong residence, and told her mother one by one about the incident.
“Good daughter, you first take it easy, think about it, things are revealed, it is finished, such things are considered a criminal offense, jail is good to say, it may be sentenced to death ah.”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Aminah’s panic was unbearable when she heard her daughter Leila say that.
“Mom, you are too calm, what’s so terrible about this, the same is breaking the law, do one, is there a difference with doing ten thousand? Although grandpa is now awake, but I feel he is still in a daze, too able to recognize people, and his speech is not very clear, so I look for an opportunity to give him a ride, once and for all, after all, I am a medical student, what medicine is added to the hanging bottle, it is simply a matter of ease, you go the most suitable.”
Leila speaks up in disbelief.
“I don’t know all this pharmacology, shouldn’t it be more appropriate for you to go?”
Aminah didn’t expect Leila to ask her to be the fall guy.
“You have to think about it ah, as long as I can marry Lorenzo become the Fletcher family’s young grandmother, there is what can not help you solve the matter? The company has a lot of contacts, money, and can really look at people to ride in? You are like this, even if things fall apart, grandfather is unlikely to survive, how to say it is all one person’s word?”
Leila coaxed Aminah.
“So … it is, you tell me what to do, once and for all.”
Aminah is running out of options.
…
Late at night.
Aminah, after all, is an actress, playing the role of a doctor who checks the wards a breeze, not to mention that she covers up the cover-up, there will be no problem.
Aminah saw no one passing nearby and quickly pushed open the door to the ward and quickly closed it again, taking out the pills Leila had given her.
