Chapter 197
The neighbor told her that Gordon and Caitlin had gone traveling, so they were not at home. As forLoretta, the neighbor said Loretta had bought a big house and rarely came back.
Hearing this, Rosalie knew Gordon and Caitlin might have done it on purpose. They probably knew shewould visit her mother’s grave today, so they deliberately went out.
Her scalp numbed at the thought of her father’s request for 10 million dollars.
There was no way she could afford to pay Gordon 10 million dollars.
After bidding goodbye to the neighbor, Rosalie called Loretta’s phone number. “Where are you?There’s something I want to see you about.”novelbin
“Sorry, I don’t have time now.” Loretta’s voice came from the phone with a trace of arrogance.
“Then, I just want to ask you. Where did Dad relocate my mother’s grave?” Rosalie asked.
“I don’t know.” There was a trace of mockery in Loretta’s tone.
“Then you must know where they go traveling.”
“I’m so sorry. I really don’t know. How about this? I can tell them that you’re looking for them whenthey’re back,” Loretta replied.
Then, Rosalie heard a man’s voice on her phone. “This lipstick doesn’t suit you.”
Rosalie froze, as she recognized that it was Calvin’s voice.
Then, she heard Loretta reply coquettishly, “I thought you would like this color. I’ll change to anothercolor later.”
After saying this, Loretta said to Rosalie on the other end of the line, “Alright, that’s all for now. I havesomething else to do.” She ended the call once she finished.
Rosalie looked at the phone in her hand and suddenly had an indescribable feeling.
She had seen Calvin a few days ago. Calvin had spoken to her at that time. However, he was nowtelling Loretta whether her lipstick suited her.
A man like Calvin probably said that to her because he wanted novelty. He sounded as if he hadfeelings for her, but he actually had feelings for many women.
Just like his former girlfriends and now Loretta.
Once he became disinterested, this man would become the most heartless man, just like how Rosaliehad witnessed how ruthless he was to his ex-girlfriend.
His ex-girlfriend was a popular actress in the entertainment industry. Her future had been promising,but she had now disappeared.
Rosalie put away her phone, feeling her heart sinking non-stop. She could not afford 10 million dollars,but she could not find Gordon and Caitlin at all.
She wondered, “Even if… I could find Dad and Caitlin in a few days. Will they really tell me whereMom’s grave is? What will it cost me?”
She thought life was hard enough for her, but she did not expect that her hardship was not over.
On the other side, Calvin watched Loretta put away her phone and asked nonchalantly, “Who was it?”
“Someone’s looking for my parents, but they’ve gone traveling, so they called me,” Loretta pretended toanswer casually before pressing against Calvin and adding, “Calvin, what lipstick color do you like? I’llonly apply lipstick colors that you from now on.”
Calvin frowned slightly, and his gaze fell on Loretta’s lips again. He only found the bright red colorblinding.
At the same time, another natural-colored lip without any lipstick applied flashed across his mind.
The faint pink color was so natural. It made him think it was the most suitable lip color.
“Wipe it off,” Calvin said indifferently.
“What?” Loretta was stunned for a moment.
“asked you to wipe off your lipstick,” Calvin replied.
Loretta was a little dumbfounded. They were currently in the car toward the banquet. She dressed uptoday just to look good at the banquet. If she wiped off the lipstick, her makeup would be completelyoff-point. Instead of looking good, she would probably become a laughingstock when that happened.
“Now? But we’re about to reach the banquet hall…”
“Now,” Calvin interrupted her as a trace of displeasure flickered in his eyes.
Loretta had no choice. After all, she was scared to annoy Calvin. She could only bite her lips slightly,took out a tissue, and began to wipe her lips.
Calvin took out the silver bracelet again. He looked down and caressed it. His gaze wasunprecedentedly gentle as if he was gazing at his lover.
At least, Calvin had never looked at Loretta with such a gentle gaze.
While wiping off her lipstick, Loretta looked at Calvin’s gentle look through the makeup mirror in herhand, and she could not help feeling a touch of jealousy.
She had only found out what the bracelet represented. She had seen two silver bracelets on the wristof the little girl in Calvin’s painting.
“Was the silver bracelet from the little girl?” she wondered.
There were rumors in the entertainment industry that Calvin had been looking for someone all theseyears. If anyone could help him find this person, they would never run out of resources in theentertainment industry.
She had initially thought it was only a rumor. After all, there were too many baseless rumors in theentertainment industry.
However, it did not seem to be the case.
Calvin must be looking for the girl in the painting. Loretta never asked Calvin, and she had never toldCalvin that she had seen the painting. After all, she had sneaked into the art studio herself.
However, she had an intuition that he must be looking for the little girl.
What made her panic even more was that she was increasingly sure that the little girl might be Rosalie.It was because Rosalie looked very similar to the little girl in the painting, and Rosalie herself as a childwore the same floral dress as the girl in the painting.
Loretta thought, “Can it be a coincidence? If Rosalie is really the one Calvin wanted, then… willeverything I have now disappear in an instant? This is unacceptable. Even if Rosalie is the one hewants, I mustn’t let Calvin find out!”
When Jonathan returned to the Youngblood Residence, a housekeeper informed him that Rosalie hadreturned.
However, when he came to her room, he found that it was dark
