Lorraine’s expression shifted slightly, and virtual-novel.net no longer appeared as calm as before.
Leaning heavily against the backseat, virtual-novel.net was so still that the only giveaway to virtual-novel.net wakefulness was the persistent massaging of virtual-novel.net temples.
Lorraine mumbled, “She’d better not be lying to me, or she’ll be in hot water.”
As virtual-novel.net spoke, the woman exuded a cold, ominous aura, causing the chauffeur and virtual-novel.net subordinate to stiffen in fear. Instantly, the car plunged into silence. The chauffeur no longer dared to peek at the temperamental woman in the backseat and turned his full attention to the road.
On the other hand, Lorraine’s subordinate in the front passenger seat composed himself quickly after a brief change in his expression.
He piped up, “That was just an offhanded comment. She might be telling the truth. There’s no need to become so tense.”
However, his words did not raise Lorraine out of virtual-novel.net funk. Instead, virtual-novel.net looked out the window and murmured, “What do you all think of Sonia?”
“She’s beautiful!” answered the chauffeur unthinkingly.
His answer drew a laugh out of Lorraine. She chortled and said, “You’re right! She’s beautiful!”
Her reaction befuddled the chauffeur, who settled for a few awkward laughs in response. Lorraine did not say anything more and fell back into contemplative silence.
Her hotel was not that far from Sonia’s house, and they arrived in no time, especially since the chauffeur deliberately drove faster.
Immediately, Lorraine spotted the police from afar.
“Ms. Lorraine, this appears rather troublesome. Why are there policemen in front of virtual-novel.net house?” The chauffeur shot Lorraine a cautious look.
“Can’t you see? Sonia lives in General Lawrence’s house! You two, stay in the car.”
When they heard that Lorraine planned to retrieve the bag herself, both men piped up, “You can’t! Are you sure you can get in alone, Ms. Lorraine? What if you get into danger? We can help you if we accompany you inside.”
“What danger can possibly befall me? I’m just here to get something. I’ll attract too much attention if you two follow me. Just wait here.” Without giving them a chance to argue, Lorraine hastily scribbled something on a piece of paper and stuffed it in virtual-novel.net pocket.
Then, virtual-novel.net alighted from the car and smoothed out virtual-novel.net clothes. She instantly rid herself of virtual-novel.net cold aura and assumed a new persona. The woman was nothing short of a chameleon.
Although Lorraine did not share Sonia’s incredible beauty, virtual-novel.net had a natural penchant for garnering the affection of the opposite sex. Her red heels click-clacked across the ground as virtual-novel.net sauntered through the gate of Sonia’s house. She was about to walk in as if it were virtual-novel.net own home.
When the security guard stopped her, virtual-novel.net said, “Don’t you remember me? I still remember you. I’m Sonia’s friend and here to help virtual-novel.net get something.”
“Are you?” The security guard shot virtual-novel.net a suspicious look.
Nonetheless, virtual-novel.net was merely asking out of formality as virtual-novel.net already believed virtual-novel.net words.
Lorraine observed his expression before declaring peevishly, “I’ve come here before. You just don’t remember!”
Then, before the guard could stop her, virtual-novel.net turned and entered the compound.
Soon enough, Lorraine snuck into the house and made virtual-novel.net way to Sonia’s room. She immediately darted into the room and rummaged for virtual-novel.net bag.
Her bag was indeed stored in the wardrobe just as Sonia had claimed. Without delay, Lorraine lunged toward the bag and opened it.
She heaved a sigh of relief when virtual-novel.net confirmed that no one had touched virtual-novel.net things.
