Chapter 140

Quentin took a deep breath and said, “Wow, he really brought people to catch me? Luckily, I listened to Kimora and ran away in advance.”

I was taken aback. “Listen to Kimora?”

“Yeah, I told her about your situation, and she reminded me to leave the hospital quickly and hide at her place. She said she was afraid that person would come to catch me and force you to show up.”

Well, she really hit the nail on the head.

“Oh.”

It seems Quentin really trusted Kimora, as he even told her about my situation.

Quentin paused. “Ralda, you don’t have to worry about your brother. He broke his SIM card because I was afraid Reynaldo would take my phone and use it to trick you into coming out. Of course, Kimora also reminded me of this.”

After listening, I became even more curious about Kimora.

I laughed. “The girl my brother likes is very thoughtful. After all this trouble is over, he must bring his girlfriend for me to see.”

“Hehe, that’s for sure. Anyway, everything is fine with my brother, and there’s nothing wrong with our parents either.”

Chapter 140

As long as Reynaldo couldn’t find any clues from us, over time, he would be helpless.

“Um.”

I whispered softly, thinking that maybe Reynaldo would really give up looking for me as time went by. And when he married Kimberly and had children, he might completely forget about someone like me. By then, I would be truly free. It was good.

But whenever I think about him and Kimberly getting married and having children, a pang of dense and painful bitterness still arises in my heart.

Lost in thought, Quentin suddenly asked in confusion, “Ralda, have you recently offended Reynaldo again? Look at how he’s approaching you; I can’t help but feel like he hates you even more than before.”

I thought carefully but couldn’t figure out where I had offended him. I just accidentally ended up working at Winston’s company and helped him with his fundraising. If he was angry because of this, he could have simply not invested in Winston’s project. But didn’t he also invest? It proves he also saw the potential in this business opportunity.

Chapter 143

It is even more unreasonable to say he was angry because I left without saying goodbye. Because he already disliked me, my leaving was a good thing for him; he didn’t need to get so angry. So, I really didn’t know why Reynaldo came to me so angrily!

After talking to Quentin on the phone, I felt much more at ease. Quentin told me not to go back to my parents’ place during this time, as he was afraid Reynaldo’s people were staking it out. I thought it made sense. So I directly had the driver take me back to the shanty town. I will start working tomorrow.

After returning to the rental house, I had no intention of going out. I planned to rest early and go to work tomorrow in the best condition.

In the evening, I was lying in bed resting when someone knocked on my door. Because Reynaldo had made him suspicious and on edge, I was mentally tense. I used to get nervous whenever I heard a knock on the door. I arrived at the door and deliberately changed my voice to ask, “Who is it?”

“Hey, sis, it’s me. What happened to your voice?”

It was Trevin.

Chapter 140

I breathed a sigh of relief and, without opening the door, asked, “Trevin, what do you want from me?”

“My mom cooked a meal, and she asked me to call you to come and eat together.”

I refused without thinking. “No need, I have already eaten, thank you.” Because of the lunch I had at noon, I will never go to their house for a meal now. It’s not that he and his aunt were not good; it’s just that the lunch made me feel strange, and it also made me feel a strange, indescribable resistance in my heart.

Trevin fell silent for a moment and said, “Then I will pour it for you.”

“No need, I have already eaten; it would be a waste if you serve it.”

Perhaps because of my impatient tone, Trevin left without a word. I leaned against the door and sighed, without the energy to care about these things.

The next day, I got up early and prepared to catch the bus to the construction site. However, as soon as I opened the door, I was taken aback….
