Chapter 242: Your Bill On My Card
Luo knew she must keep her emotions intact and maintained a poker face, but it was hard because she was raging inside. But then she was there already, so better she proceeded with her initial plan.
"I'm looking for Mr. Cain Ticke." she casually asked.
The man's forehead crinkled as he asked, "I'm Cain. What is it that you need?" He was staring at her closely, as if he was trying to recall where he had seen her.
'Can he recognize ? That's too impossible… I was just a baby at that ti,' Luo mused.
"You look much like her…" she heard the man speak.
"I'm sorry?" Luo hissed.
"My wife… You look so much like her. Are you perhaps my daughter? Is that why you're looking for ?"
Luo gulped hearing that question. She probably looked too much like the woman he was referring to for him to recognize her, but sothing was off.
"You don't have a wife." Luo stated.
"Let's talk inside, follow ." The man invited. Luo did not follow, and the man paused and turned to look at her and said, "You are here because you wanted to know everything, right? I will tell you everything and show you the picture of your mother."
Luo cursed. She hated how her curiosity was always able to dominate her. But then she was truly dying to find out the truth. His place was too small and Luo could sll the stinking scent of his smokes and alcohol.
"I'm sorry about the place, dear. I did not expect you will ever find or look for ." The man apologized as he made so tea, but Luo plainly said, "I won't stay long. I just want to?hear what you wanted to tell ."
He took out sothing from inside the cabinet and handed her, it was a torn picture of soone. Luo took that picture and looked keenly at it and noticed that the woman in the picture had a great resemblance with her.
"This woman in the picture is your mother. She was an orphan. We grew up together at the sa orphanage, then later we ended up in the streets like stray cats. We were in a relationship and we dearly loved each other, but you see at that ti we couldn't even afford to keep our lives alone. And in that difficult ti she got pregnant with you. But you see…"
Cutting him off, she asked, "What's her na?"
"She's Belle. Belle Lua." the man uttered.
"So you're saying that you two irresponsibly had a child and ended up leaving at a stranger's doorstep.
The man began crying as he repeatedly said, "I'm sorry."
"Your mother left after giving birth to you, so I didn't know what to do. How was I supposed to take care of you when I could barely take care of myself?"
"Where is she now?" she asked without an emotion.
The man paused and Luo looked at him, "She… I… I don't know her whereabouts or what happened to her because… I haven't seen her since then."
Luo frowned. The man was lying and she could easily tell that right from the start. But she thought that she should act like she believed him. She hated these kinds of scenarios where she knew she would need to do another round for a maze.
"Can I keep this photo?" Luo asked, and the man nodded. She then stood up and said, "I will leave now."
The man walked her out and saw her off. After he confird that she was gone, Cain grabbed his mobile phone and dialed a number.
"She ca looking for . I just talked to her now and she left. Dude… What is it you're up to again? Are you sure I won't have a problem with this? And don't forget about the money we agreed to, also make sure I have that within tomorrow!" he barked before ending the call.
He looked one last ti as to where he last walked the woman before he shook his head and spit on the ground.
Luo on the other hand dialed a number while she was diving on the road.
"Get details about Belle Lua. And also, can you manage to get a sample of that man for DNA testing without suspicion?"
Vin laughed, and it roared inside of Luo's car since she was on speakerphone.
"Hey, that's too easy. Why do you sound like that? Okay will imdiately produce the result you're asking for."
Luo then ended the call. If he was not her father, then what could be the reason for him to lie. More often than not, she was not wrong in reading people. The man was lying, and he was definitely not her father or she could be wrong this ti? Yet there was nothing wrong in confirming it with the DNA test. Then she would deal with him later if he lied or not.
She was on her way back to the office when her mobile phone rang. A mischievous grin curved on her beautiful lips, seeing who was the person calling.
"Yes? What can I do for you?" She imdiately answered.
"Where are you?" she heard Noah hissed. She shook his head because he sounded irritated. Luo's eyebrows raised as she answered, "At the road driving?"
"Give an exact address because I will co to the place where you are right now." she heard Noah yell.
"What for? ALso, can you relax a bit? I have settled everything with your company already so why are you still running after ?" Luo casually answered.
"You still have a debt to repay! How about your bill on my card!" Noah barked.
"Stingy," Luo mumbled with a playful smile.
"What?!"
"Nothing. I'm on my way to Sy's building. If you want, then you can see there. I will welco you into my office with open arms, Noah… We can talk about the bill there…" Luo concluded before she ended the call.
Noah was even worse than her nagging mother, and she would surely hear more words if she would not cut him off. She had no intention in paying Noah at all but she was willing to return the favor to him.
"I guess he won't be able to get over that easily…" She playfully whispered, followed by a chuckle as she imagined the wrinkles appearing on Noah's face at that ti.
