Chapter 1336 Why Are You Following Me?novelbin
Lanie sank into deep thought for a while after he heard Rainie's account. It was relatively peacefulwhen he got home from school, which meant that Old Master Crawford was not angry at Bianca. Itseemed that the woman had managed to appease him.
"Let's not tell Great-Grandpa for now," he said.
Rainie nodded in agreement. "I cooperated with her and didn't call out her lies or say anything that I'mnot supposed to. I want to wait until Daddy comes back."
Lanie and Rainie believed that Luke was the only person in the family that would be able to help themsolve the problem.
When Lanie heard that, he took out his phone and sent a message to his father, asking when he wouldreturn to A City.
After Rainie watched Lanie type the message and send it, she continued asking, "Daddy doesn't knowabout what happened yesterday, right?"
"No, Daddy doesn’t know. Great-Grandpa was the one who ordered the search for you." Lanie pattedRainie's head and said endearingly, "I'm sorry that this happened to you. I didn't manage to protectyou."
Rainie shook her head. Lanie had always behaved like her elder brother, even though he was olderthan her by only a
few minutes. He was still a child.
"You don’t have to worry about me, Lanie. I'll be stronger so that I can protect myself," she said.
As Lanie stared intently at the phone screen waiting for his father's reply, he thought that Rainie waslucky to have Luca around. Without Luca, that woman would not bring Rainie back home so quickly.
Half a minute later, Lanie's phone made a sound.
Lanie saw that Luke had replied to his message, saying that he needed three more days to settle thebusiness in New York, after which he would return immediately.
Rainie also saw the message and sighed. "Daddy is working really hard. Should we still tell him aboutit?"
If Luke knew that their mother was an impostor, he would definitely want to search for the whereaboutsof the real Bianca. Lanie and Rainie did not want their father to overwork himself juggling betweencompany business and searching for their mother...
"That woman must have a reason to show up at our house. After what happened yesterday, I don'tthink we should keep it a secret." Lanie seemed determined.
Even though they knew that Bianca was an impostor, they were only children and could not do anythingabout it. If that woman had the intention to harm Rainie, they would be powerless to stop that.
The only way to stop the threat was to tell the truth to their father.
When Rainie heard Lanie's reasoning, she nodded in agreement.
The next day, while Luca was at work, she received a phone call from Amur. "Luca, are you free tocome over here for a bit?"
Luca could hear from Amur's tone that he was in trouble. She put the test tube away, walked out of thelaboratory, and asked, "What happened?"
"Ms. Carter spotted me, and she is stopping me from leaving. I need you to come over here and clearup the misunderstanding." While Amur said that, he glanced warily at Sue and the two security guardsnext to her.
Amur was protecting Sue as usual because Jason had not returned from New York. Sue had beenwary and had caught Amur snooping, and she had thought that Amur was someone up to no good.
He was not going to fight Sue and the security guards. With no other choice, he decided to call Luca tohelp him clear the misunderstanding.
"Where are you now? I'll go to you." When Luca heard that, she went over to her office.
"I'm at Brilliant Architecture," Amur said.
"Alright, I'll go over right now." Luca ended the call. She had thought of sending Sue a voice messageto explain what was going on, but after pondering for a while, she decided that she should explain it inperson. She took off her lab coat, picked up her handbag, and walked out.
Sue was a wary person. Even though Luca had saved Kari before, she guessed that it would be hard toconvince Sue over the phone. That was why she decided to go and meet her.
Luca caught a cab downstairs and went to Brilliant Architecture. On the way, she found out from Amurthat they were at the basement parking lot.
She was very familiar with the layout of the office building. After reaching there, she instantly found ExitB.
"Amur." Luca hastened her footsteps when she noticed the people standing there.
Sue did not let her guard down when she saw Luca coming over. Instead, she asked, "Dr. Craw, do youknow this man?"
"He's my younger brother," Luca said while she searched for a file on her phone.
"Why is your younger brother following me?" Sue's gaze shifted between Luca and Amur. The incidentthe day before made her very cautious today.
That was how she had discovered that Amur was following her in secret. Before she arrived at heroffice, she had already informed the security guards to wait there.
As expected, Amur followed her into the parking lot. The security guards instantly came over andsurrounded Amur.
"I asked him to follow you so that he can protect you," Luca said as she pressed the play button for therecording.
She had recorded Bailey's conversation when she saw her at the vending machine, and she did notexpect that it would come into use so quickly.
Sue calmed down after she listened to the recording. She looked at Luca with an inexplicableexpression on her face." Did you ask your younger brother to protect me because you know that Baileywants to harm me?"
"Yes. Mr. Doyle is still busy with his work in New York, and I don't think you'd want to bother him. Myyounger brother happened to be free, so I asked him to protect you until Mr. Doyle is back. I plan togive this recording to him without letting you know." Luca did not hide the truth from her. She knew thathiding the truth from Sue would only make her more suspicious.
After Sue heard that, she told the security guards, "I'm sorry. This has all been a misunderstanding."
"It's okay," one of the security guards said. "Ms. Carter, if that person intends to harm you, you canmake a police report with the recording as evidence."
"Alright, I know." Sue thought that it was quite embarrassing to have caused such a hugemisunderstanding. She explained it to Amur and Luca, "Someone was ringing our doorbell nonstop lateat night, and I guessed that it was done by one of Bailey’s lackeys. That's why I was extra cautioustoday. I didn't expect that you'd send someone to protect me..."
"My younger brother is a proficient brawler. I can trust him if he's around." Luca patted Amur's shoulderand continued asking, "I can give you a copy of the recording if you need it."
"Yes, please. Thank you!" Sue was beginning to be angry after knowing that Bailey was still intendingto harm her after all these years. She wanted the recording so that she could take legal actionwhenever necessary.
At first, she forgave Bailey because she thought that Bailey was stuck with Jason's son. Now that sheknew that Bailey would not back off, she realized that she would have to fight back.
