Chapter 1149: Chapter 1149: Be Obedient to Me
"The head of our family has said that this situation is ultimately our Ross Family’s fault, and keeping you here is not a good solution,"
Adam Ross said expressionlessly, "As for the matter of the child, the Ross Family will discuss it further and give you a final response."
Despite hearing Adam’s explanation, Raina Richard still wore a puzzled and uncomprehending expression.
"If you don’t trust us, you can continue to stay here under their watch."
Adam couldn’t bother to say more and turned around, but in reality, he was truly afraid that Raina Richard would start crying again in front of him.
Then, the three of them turned and left, leaving only Raina Richard and the open door in front of her.
...
In the car, Adam kept his gaze fixed on the apartment entrance, craning his neck to see as much as possible.
"Is this method really effective? Are you sure she will seek out the person behind this?"
"When I mentioned marriage, Raina’s expression turned very strange, clearly struck to the core. She asked about her husband herself; she must believe and will likely confirm some things," Charlotte Thompson said calmly.
She understood clearly.
Raina Richard was nothing more than a pitiful woman being used by others, and she likely had been tormented to the point of losing her own opinions.
So now that they had let Raina out, her only choice was to seek out or contact the person directing her to confirm her suspicions.
Just as Charlotte had anticipated, they didn’t wait long by the apartment before they saw Raina Richard hurrying out alone.
She was on her phone as if trying to contact someone, but seemed unsuccessful and eventually had to hail a taxi and left swiftly.
...
In the taxi, Raina Richard continuously redialed a number, uneasily fidgeting. Her hands were constantly wiping away cold sweat, but her mind kept recalling Charlotte’s words.
After an indeterminate amount of time, the call finally connected, and an irritated voice came through.
"Who is it? This is non-stop." There was noise on the other end, even the sound of loud music.
Clutching her phone tightly, Raina curled up in a ball on the back seat, her strange behavior drawing the taxi driver’s attention.
"It’s me," Raina said in a low voice.
The music gradually quieted down, followed by a man’s voice yelling in frustration, "Why are you calling me? Didn’t we agree not to contact each other before the task is done?"
"But the Ross Family already knows about my background," Raina’s lips trembled in utter confusion.
"But I had already taken care of your background. How could anyone find out?" The man murmured and then, as if realizing something, began cursing furiously over the phone:
"Why are you still contacting me? Are you trying to let others know about me? Let me tell you, your man is still in my hands; if you want him to live, you better obediently follow orders!"
Grasping the key point in the man’s words, Raina immediately asked anxiously, "Is Benjamin Carter really with you, undiscovered by others?"
"What, you want to see him? Then hurry up and complete the task so he can be safe, got it?"
"But now that they have let me out, I don’t know what to do..."
