“Isn’t that great? We won’t have to go to such lengths to find him now that he’s basically presenting
himself to us!”
As Lisanne had not rested for two days, she was in a poor mental state. She blurted anything on her
mind without thinking about Winnie’s situation.
She had no idea how dangerous Harold was, nor did she consider the possibility that he wanted to take
revenge on Winnie, not hang out with her.
However, Winnie still contemplated Lisanne’s suggestion seriously.
As the Speiser family was worried that Harold, Leandro, and Big Black Bear’s men might take revenge
on her, they spent a huge amount of money to erase any information about her on Chanea’s web.
Xavier also suggested that she should not return to Chanaea for the time being and remain hidden.
However, at that moment, she suddenly thought that Lisanne’s words made sense too.
Since Harold was such a vicious and petty man, he would not abruptly change his mind if he had set
his mind on taking revenge.
Given that he would find her one day, she would rather make it a quick battle. She could lure him out
directly by leaving out some clues deliberately. Dragging it out further was not a solution.
“You’re right, Lisanne. It’s best that he’s coming to us. However, I need to be prepared early. Why don’t
we do this? Rest well at home while you wait for my updates. You don’t have to care about anything
else.”
As all Lisanne wanted was to bring Christopher’s corpse back personally, she would not listen to
Winnie’s suggestion.
She asked anxiously, “What are you planning to do? What’s your plan? I don’t need to sleep. Tell me
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyour plan! I can help!”
Winnie glanced at Lisanne and said, “I’ll discuss it with Lucas first. When we have a detailed plan, I’ll
tell you.”
“Sure! Lucas will definitely be helpful. Let’s go back quickly.”
“Okay.” Winnie nodded while replying to Lucas’ message, informing him that she would be bringing
Lisanne back soon.
He praised her for coming up with such great solutions.
Meanwhile, Lisanne was so anxious that she jumped to her feet to leave the restaurant immediately.
However, she realized something wrong with her body the moment she stood up. “Oh no!”
Lisanne looked at Winnie with a frown.
Not knowing what happened, Winnie quickly stood up as well and scanned her surroundings. “What
happened?”
“I…” Lisanne lowered her voice. “I got my period.”
Winnie heaved a sigh of relief and glanced at Lisanne’s pants subconsciously.
Since she was wearing a thin pair of chiffon pants, the red stain was quite obvious.
Winnie soon came up with a solution. “I have a jacket in the car that I’ll get for you. Wait here for me.”
Lisanne nodded. “Hurry up, then.”
“Okay!” Winnie strode out and returned with the jacket within a minute.
Since her jacket was quite long, it was able to cover the embarrassing stain on Lisanne’s pants.
The moment Lisanne went out, her driver was about to open the car door for her.
However, since the driver was a man, Lisanne felt embarrassed and did not want to be in the same car
as him.
She instructed, “Go back first. I’ll take my friend’s car.”
Winnie glanced at the driver and nodded at him slightly.
Although the driver did not know Winnie, his first impression of her was that she had a very strong
presence.
However, precisely so, he was afraid that something bad might happen to Lisanne. He immediately
called Lucas and reported it to him.
When Winnie heard him making that call, she deliberately waited till the call ended before starting the
engine.
Having found out Winnie’s identity from Lucas, the driver bowed at Winnie. “Drive safely, Ms. Garland.”
Winnie started the engine and asked Lisanne, “Do we return directly or deal with the stain somewhere
first?”
Since Lisanne was feeling quite uncomfortable, she immediately chose the latter. “Let’s deal with it
first.”
“Okay, we can go to my office. There are not a lot of people at the office now. Even the shopping malls
aren’t open yet. Luckily, I’ve got some extra clothes and toiletries in my office. There’s a bathroom in
the lounge for you to take a shower too.”
“Sure!” Lisanne wished for nothing more than a shower. “Let’s do that.”
“Okay! It’ll take around ten minutes. I’ll be quick!”
…
It had been a long time since Winnie went to Garland Group.
Although it was only eight in the morning, there were quite a lot of employees who had reached the
office early.
They stared at Winnie with a look of respect and curiosity.
A thought suddenly surfaced in Winnie’s mind when she noticed their reaction.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe greeted the employees and brought Lisanne to her office.
While Lisanne freshened up in the bathroom, Winnie checked some things on her laptop. She even
made a few calls and had a video call with Xavier for a few minutes.
Soon, Jasmine arrived for work. She greeted Winnie and reported some important work-related
matters.
Seeing how busy Winnie was, Lisanne sat quietly on the couch beside the bookshelf after changing her
clothes, not wanting to disturb her.
After Jasmine was done with her report, Winnie walked over to Lisanne.
Gazing at Lisanne, who now looked refreshed after a shower, she could not help but smile. “Lisanne,
you look much better now. The clothes fit you too. Are you all good now?”
“Yeah.” Lisanne closed the book that she had just opened and said, “I’m all good now.”
Winnie nodded. “Let’s go.”
To her surprise, Lisanne suddenly changed her mind. She rose to her feet abruptly and said to Winnie,
“I don’t want you to go anymore.”
“What?” Winnie frowned and asked in a semi-joking tone, “What’s wrong? Why aren’t you letting me go
with you? Does your family no longer welcome me?”
“No, Winnie.” Knowing that Winnie might have misunderstood, Lisanne quickly clarified, “That’s not
what I mean. You’re always welcome at the Marsh residence. I just realized something. I haven’t been
in a great state for these two days. Today, I even rushed out to look for you. It was only when I was
taking a shower earlier that my mind cleared up. I was being too irrational earlier. I assumed that since
Harold’s looking for you, we can make him return Christopher’s corpse. However, it dawned on me that
he’s not looking for you just to reminisce about the past and have a nice little chat. He’s definitely
planning to hurt you, so it’s too dangerous. You should remain hidden and stay away from any trouble.”
Winnie was stunned. “I have a feeling you needed to tell me something when my assistant was talking
to me. Is this what you want to say to me after keeping it inside for so long?”
