Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

All her bank cards were frozen. Her school's debit card used to be more than enough for her to get by previously, but the sudden change in circumstances had almost ruined her hopes!

At that moment, Lauren regretted her past doings.

In the past, she was so engrossed in research that she did not go out much. Furthermore, she had her own house and dormitory, thus her life was very simple. She hadn't spent much on the popular e-commerce sites. Most of the time, she would also only use cash when eating out.

All her assets were frozen and had been taken away, too. She didn't think much about it at first since the rest were all settled by Zedd on his own. However, at this moment, she was officially broke. She couldn't even afford to take a bus, let alone a taxi!

Was she going to rely on both her legs to get her where she wanted to go?

Most importantly, there was no one she could trust. Where could she possibly go? Was she supposed to ask someone for help?

After thinking for a while, she realized the only person she could go to was Sharon!

As she took out her phone, Lauren's tears rushed out of her eyes. She tapped her phone hard, but the screen darkened as soon as it lit up. "Is it dead?" She thought.

Why couldn't God even help her with this?

Standing at the junction in a daze, Lauren was almost angered to death. The grievance in her heart suddenly flooded towards her mind. She felt an inexplicable desperation as tears eventually rolled down her face.

At the moment, Willy was drinking wine with Elaine. Despite the waist-exposing dress she was wearing, he could not find Trevor's so-called "plum blossom" birthmark on her after several glimpses.

Someone came to strike up a conversation with him, which he took as an opportunity to escape. He walked towards where Holger and Trevor were at while shaking his head at them.

"The position was too low. I'm afraid she will notice it if I go too far! Are you sure about this?"

"She has a very similar figure, and she loves apple-flavored cigarettes - all her traits were on point! Also, I did some digging and found out that Elaine showed up right after Amelia's disappearance. They were both orphans, too. What a coincidence!"

While speaking, Holger showed them a side-postured photo on his mobile phone.

"Look at this pose. The little gesture of her hand is exactly the same as what Elaine did just now! I really thought it was her! The most dangerous place always happens to be the safest. Moreover, plastic surgery has been popular in this circle for the past two years; changing one's face is nothing but a few minutes of effort. I have already sent the photos of the two to the cosmetic surgeon for identification! In passing, I asked Master Vives to check if there are any synchronized records found!"

After taking a sip of red wine, Trevor chimed in.

"The purpose of today's banquet was to find a scapegoat! If it was her, we would have hit two birds with one stone! Now, the key is to determine her identity before the end of the banquet. If she noticed or even removed that birthmark from her body, it would be more difficult for us to find the person!"

Willy nodded.

He said, "The birthmark position is too low. I'm afraid we can't do anything about it unless her clothes are removed! I'm puzzled. Since she has such an obvious birthmark, why didn't she remove her birthmark after getting facial surgery?"

After exchanging looks, Trevor said, "Perhaps she wanted to take advantage of this birthmark to search for her family members in the future? Or perhaps, she didn't even notice it at all?"

Holger was in agreement with Trevor's remarks.

"It's possible. She has only altered her face a little. It'll work with just a few needles of Hyaluronic acid! However, her birthmark is on her body, so it's assumed that not many people know about it. She would need surgery to get it removed. Once she gets that, she will certainly need time to recover. Presumably, this is also one of the reasons why she still hasn't gotten rid of it! Just because she doesn't have the time to do it now, it doesn't mean she won't in the future!"

"If I go there again, we might really alert the enemy!" Trevor couldn't go and neither could Holger.

Willy thought about it.

"If we can't do it this way, we'll have to do it by force then. Perhaps there's even an opportunity for me to save the damsel in distress! In that case, I'll have to leave first!" Willy announced as he took a look at his watch.

Then, he glanced at the door. He was planning to approach her after he finished talking. However, he was delayed for a short while, before spending some time speaking to Trevor once more.

Knowing Lauren, who didn't like this kind of environment, she might go to the restroom to avoid all this. Thus, Willy didn't worry too much about her. Since she had his number on her phone, she could have asked for help if needed. Moreover, it's only been 20 minutes; there shouldn't be any problem.

Later, the three parted their ways. Willy went out while Holger and Trevor continued discussing.

Willy walked around but could not find Lauren anywhere. He took out his phone and turned on his tracking system, "Eh? Why isn't she nearby?"

After trying to connect to her device twice in a row, Willy couldn't help but feel nervous. "What happened? Is the signal bad, or did she leave? No way!"

He refreshed the app once more, and the signal finally appeared. It showed that she was still in the hotel a moment ago, but now it was gone!

Shaking his head, he decided to dial for her.

[Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable. Please try again later. Sorry...] "Unavailable? What's the matter?"

Did she leave out of anger?

Willy felt a headache brewing and quickly returned. Along the way, he inquired a few waiters on her whereabouts. Just as he thought about checking the surveillance for her, he finally found someone who had seen her. When he heard that she was seen at the entrance downstairs, he immediately hurried out.

"Why didn't she tell me that she went out? It's so late. Where can she go?" He thought.

On the way to the entrance, Willy looked everywhere for her, and finally saw a forlorn figure squatting on the side of the road. She was like an abandoned kitten or a puppy. She looked incredibly pitiful.

He took a few steps forward when Lauren stood up at the same time. She couldn't leave as she couldn't contact Sharon. After being angry for a while, she realized that she could borrow a charger.

She remembered that she had some small changes in her ball-shaped wallet.

As their eyes met, Lauren's suppressed emotions rushed up again.

Her eyes were red, and her clothes were ripped; even her makeup was messed up. Looking at her pitiful look, the words in Willy's mind instantly disappeared. All he had left was concern and distress. He took off his coat and put it on her without a second thought.

"What happened? Let's go. Why didn't you tell me when you left?"

Her anger was almost put out in an instant. Before Lauren could make a sound, Willy had already held her hands as he rubbed them together. "Did someone bully you?"

Who else could bully her other than him?

His tiny action made Lauren lose control of her emotions. "I'm broke."

There was a saying that money was not everything, but everything needed money. For the first time, she felt absolutely powerless!

It had been such a long time that she had almost forgotten about it.

When she entered the job market, she had no financial security at all. Therefore, she'd work very hard to earn money, and was relatively frugal. When she was finally able to, she bought a house and saved up the rest.

Only her house, money, and her fellow good friends could give her a little sense of security when she was alone!NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
