Pearson sat on his seat calmly, without the slightest intention of getting up, and said drily, “I will delete all the things that I found after you leave. Don‘t worry. I won‘t leak the information to anyone. I have my work ethic.”
Ada stood still and looked at him with a frown, “What did you find?” “I thought you were not interested.” Ada stood there for a while and finally sat back at her seat.
“OK, tell me what you‘ve found. I can believe that you are able to work for me only if you got something valuable.”
Pearson unhurriedly put a document on the table and slowly pushed it to Ada with his slender fingers.
“According to your request, I have investigated in the woman, Anna Gabriel, and her daughter. I‘ve found out that six years ago, the night after her eighteenth birthday was the last time she appeared in front of her friends.”
“Six years ago…” Ada looked at the date on the document, her brow wrinkling, “How could it be that night?”
“Although you haven‘t clarified what you want to know, I think you must be interested in this part. Anna Gabriel was drugged that night, but she wasn‘t taken to the room that Allie Gabriel ordered. Instead, she was taken away. And Wayne was also at that hotel at that night.”
“What do you mean?”
“I have every reason to suspect that the surrogate mother that Wayne chose is Anna Gabriel.”
Ada‘s face turned pale, and her hand holding the document was shaking. What‘s the odds of that happening?
It took her a long time to find out that Matthew was born by a surrogate mother. She thought that Wayne wouldn‘t contact that woman anymore, which was why she didn‘t worry at all. But now that woman could be Anna Gabriel. She is a Gabriel. It‘s impossible for her to be a surrogate mother.
“That‘s impossible.” Ada immediately dismissed this idea as unrealistic, “She is the second daughter of the Gabriel family. She has everything. Why should she do such a thing?
“You said that she was drugged by her sister. One thing led to another, and it just happened. Nothing is impossible. I‘m only telling you where I‘m going with this. If you don‘t believe me, I can stop the investigation.” Pearson gave her a contemptuous glance.
Ada said with a dark face and clenched fists, “No, I never said I wanted to stop. I have to figure it out.”
“Well, then I‘ll look for the former butler of the Wayne family. He must be the one who was responsible for the surrogacy. I‘ll contact you if I find anything new.”
Pearson looked at the document in Ada‘s hand, “You can keep it. Call me if you have any question. By the way, Miss Xavier, it is not a good idea to judge people by their appearances. What a private detective needs is his sharp insight instead of age.”
Pearson stood up and left with an imperious look on his babyface.
If it weren‘t for the investigation of Wayne Wright, he wouldn‘t have bothered to take the case. Just as people say, actresses are two–faced creatures. Ada Xavier is really annoying
He went out of the café, put his hands on his forehead, and looked up at the sky. What a find day today! It‘s a good time for a surprising encounter.
“We can stop by the supermarket to buy some food. Do you want to eat meatloaf?”
Having just picked the children up from the kindergarten, Anna, sitting in the car, asked Wayne.
“Alright.”
Anna nodded and prompted the butler to turn right before they crossed the street,“ That way to Costco.”
The two adults were only planning to go to the fresh produce department and the meat department, but Tammy naturally would not be so easily satisfied. She directly pulled Matthew to the candy and snack aisles.
“Wait, where are you going?” “I‘ll go with them.” Wayne turned around and followed them. Anna had to push the shopping cart and take the vegetables by herself. Wayne followed the two kids and got another cart.
Tammy first took a box of chocolate and looked at him tentatively with her big watery eyes, “Mommy won‘t let me eat much chocolate. Both Matthew and I like this one. There are a lot here!”
Wayne took a whole set from the shelf with every flavor in it, “Then just buy it.”
Wow, is this what being rich feels like? Eyes lit up, Tammy jumped and cheered, “Uncle Wright, you‘re the best!”
Matthew also looked at her with a smile and pointed at other snacks in front of them.
After the two kids picked all the things they wanted, they met Anna at the checkout counter, and their cart was piled up with all kinds of snacks.
Anna asked them with round eyes, “Oh my God. What did you buy? When can you finish eating all those things? Tammy, you little…”
“It‘s not me.” Tammy waved her hands quickly. “Who else could it be?” Anna frowned, “Not like you, Matthew barely eats snacks.”
When Anna was going to pull Tammy‘s ears, she hid behind Wayne‘s legs in fear and shouted, “Help, help, Uncle Wright.”
Wayne stood in front of Tammy and felt a little awkward. He suddenly stopped Anna with hic low voice “It‘s me.”
“What? You?”
With Wayne hindering, Anna could only stop. She gave Tammy an angry stare, “You‘ll have those this time. But only this time. And your pocket money for next month has just gone.”
Tammy pursed her lips in grievance, but Matthew pulled her sleeves and blinked to her, hinting that he still had money. Tammy started smiling again.
When Anna was about to tell Wayne that he shouldn‘t spoil the children like that, her phone suddenly rang. She answered the phone and heard the noises in the background and a woman‘s guilty voice, “Anna, are you at home? I need you to come now.”
“What happened? Anna asked a few questions and suddenly became nervous, “What? How can you…
She couldn‘t say too much with Wayne staying with her, so she quickly hung up. She looked at him, “I have something to do know. Can you look after Tammy for a while?”
“Okay.” “Thank you.”
Without waiting for Wayne to finish his sentence, Anna hurriedly passed the queue in front of the checkout counter and ran to the gate of the supermarket. She seemed to be in a hurry.
Wayne wanted to say “What happened? I can drive you there.” But he didn‘t have the chance to say it.
It happened to be rush hour now. The taxi was caught in a traffic jam, and it took her almost an hour to get to the airport police department. On stepping into the room, she saw a woman sitting straight and haughtily on a chair, in black and white and a pair of sunglasses.
Her white shirt was tucked into a black fishtail skirt. The 4–inch red–soled black high heels had perfectly accented her slender and strong legs. She was holding a silver sequin purse, which reflected cold light and gave her an air of arrogance and indifference.
“Peace.” Anna quickly walked to her, “What have you done again?”
“What have I done?” Peace took off her glasses and showed her pretty little face, still angry.
“I‘m only a brave citizen who tries to help others. I have never seen another man who dared to drop his pants in the airport parking lot with all the CCTV cameras above our heads.”
“What? Drop his pants?” Anna was surprised. She hurriedly let Peace turn around and looked at her un and down and asked quickly, “Are you alright? Are you hurt by anyone?
On
“Oh, it‘s not me.” She took Anna‘s waving hands and said angrily, “I said I tried to help others. The woman bullied was picked up by her friends. That p*****t is still here.”
“Which one?” Anna looked around and didn‘t see anyone.
“He was arrested. We won‘t let this kind of man get off without detention. Otherwise, he will get outside and keep harming the society.”
