Chapter 522 We Haven't Found it out yet
Now Lily hated Laura even more, but Max was obsessed with her and only made exceptions for her.
How in the world was she worse than Laura?
Indignant, Lily wished she could eat Laura alive now.
Lily's eyes glinted dangerously with that thought in her mind, her lips curving into a sneer.
She would get on with her life and made Laura pay a price.
In Fragrant Hill Villa...
Max couldn't drive because he had a few drinks, so he called his driver to drive him home from the pub.
Since he had drunk a lot today, Max decided to get upstairs to go to bed after he rested for a while.
"Mr. Nixon."
Just at this moment, the butler suddenly came up to Max.
"What is it?"
Max rubbed his temples with a frown, trying to sober himself up a little.
"We've already got the result of the investigation."
The butler said, his face grave.
Max turned to look at him, his dark and sparkling eyes glinting in a cold and domineering manner.
"How'd it go?"
"The result shows, the reason Laura got hurt was that someone had tampered with that suspension
bridge, and that was why you had an accident that day."
The butler told the truth respectfully.
In fact, the butler couldn't be more nervous at this point. His fast heartbeat and steady breathing could
be clearly heard against the dead silence.
He knew Max had paid much attention to Laura's accident. Now that he learned the accident was
actually engineered, Max would presumably be angrier.
"But have you found out who did that?"
Max's eyes were fixed on the butler right now.
He was curious as to who had done it, and why he must be so evil as to expose Laura to mortal
danger.
The butler didn't know how to answer Max's question.
There was a long pause.
"Why don't you answer me?"
Now Max looked grave and wary.
Meanwhile, his hand, which had been playing with the mellite bead bracelet, stopped as he looked up
at the butler.
"Well..."
Sweat dripped down the butler's cheeks as he mumbled something in a panic.
"What!"
Max snarled.
"We... We haven't found it out yet."
Having said that, the butler swallowed, not knowing what lay ahead of him.
"What?"
It didn't occur to Max that his people actually failed to find out the perpetrator, which made him flare up.
"Then what about the thing I asked you to do before this?"
Presumably, the perpetrator wasn't easy to be found, so Max could only ask his people to continue the
investigation. Fat chance he had of getting the result he wanted soon.
"It's taken care of."
"Then we've got to get more people to look into the accident. I won't blame you guys today, but if I don't
get an answer next time, don't blame me for being too hard on you."
Max's features softened a little, but obviously, he was still angry.
The butler agreed immediately.
He knew Max's personality so well, and that was why he was so frightened just now.
Max thought for a moment before asking, "By the way, where's Kevin?"
The butler began to hesitate again upon hearing him.
"He... He's out."
"He's out?"
Max frowned. "To the company?"
The butler shook his head. "He's not in the company. Ford came to get some documents this morning. I
mentioned him in passing but Ford said he was not in the company. I have no idea where he went."
Max thought for a while, took out his phone, and glanced at the time.
The moment Max saw the date on the screen, something popped into his mind and he clapped a hand
to his forehead.
"Shit!"novelbin
Max rose to his feet in haste and walked outside as he spoke.
Meanwhile, in a church over 30 km away from the Fragrant Hill Villa...
The thing Ally regretted the most about this life was having promised her father she would come back
to attend Angie's wedding.
It was a grand ceremony. Allegedly, the wedding planner was engaged from Eqitin. The wedding site
was decorated in pure white and festive red, which made the whole place romantic and classy.
The bride and the groom in the presence of the priest pledged themselves to love one another as Ally
listened to them quietly. She watched them exchange their rings and kiss and hug amidst the cheers of
the audience.
Suddenly, the glare of the sun stung Ally's eyes, so she looked away.
There was a glass of wine on the table. Ally picked it up and gulped it down, warning herself.
"Ally, you lost! Just admit it!"
"From now on, Hardy is Angie's husband, and he has nothing to do with you!"
Ally kept warning herself, but after a glass of wine, she couldn't help but think of what Hardy Stuart said
to her before.
He said, "Ally, you're the best girl I've ever met."
He said, "Ally, the two most blessed things that have ever happened in my life are: to have met you;
and to marry you."
He said, "Ally, marry me!"
But at last, it became, "Ally, I'm sorry!"
How ironic!
Ally gave a sneer at the thought of the absurdity of it all.
She took her purse and got up, ready to leave.
However, a shrill female voice rang out behind her at this moment.
"Well, isn't that Ally?"
Ally looked back and saw a woman dripping with diamonds. It was Lindsey Lawrence, Hardy's mother.
She had never liked Ally, and was always mean to her.
"Hello, Miss. Lawrence. Is there anything I can help with?" Ally asked with courtesy.
"Nothing. It impresses me that you'd actually come back to attend Hardy's wedding!"
Lindsey was smiling smugly. Stuart had used to be an educated family. However, it had declined when
Hardy's father had died a few years ago, and Hardy worked very hard to keep up appearances. Now
that Hardy married Angie, and thus had the support from the Fowler Group, Lindsey couldn't be
prouder of it.
A few women of Lindsey's age were sitting around her, staring at Ally with a mocking smile.
"How dare she come back now after what happened two years ago? What a shameless woman!"
"Exactly! She has disgraced her family name!"
"No wonder no one wants to marry her!"
