Chapter 254
As for why Scott had changed as if he had split personalities, it was a mystery that Naomi could never solve. “Can you feel my world.” A ringtone suddenly rang out, interrupting Naomi’s thoughts. She picked up her phone. It was a call from Susan.
“Naomi! I found out some clues about your Mister Long Legs!” “Are you sure?!” Naomi was so excited she almost jumped. She could finally see Mister Long Legs! “Tell me quickly! Where is he right now?” “Uh… Don’t get so happy so quickly. My news might be a piece of good news, but also a piece of bad news,” Susan said through the phone. “I sent someone to check up on the Spring Orphanage’s remaining survivors. According to the memory of one old lady, back then, when Mister Long Legs had been taken away, a couple passed by. They might have seen something.” “Is that so? Where are they right now?” “Uh… You’re very familiar with them. It’s Scott and Lilian.”
“What?!”
Naomi’s mind buzzed. Why did it have to be Scott and Lilian out of all the people? “You should know that Lilian had gotten with Scott quite early on. That day, when Scott came to pick you up, it was Lilian who did the checkout. If the old lady wasn’t one of the survivors of the fire, we’d never known about this. Naomi, what are you planning to do?”
Naomi pursed her lips tightly. She gripped her phone tighter. She no longer wanted to get mixed up with Scott and Lilian. Furthermore, even if she asked them, they would never tell her, seeing how much they hated her!
However, was she going to let a lead go cold like that?
Naomi hesitated for three seconds. She did not want to give up!
“Uncle Zach, prepare the car to go to the police station.”
“Okay!”
On the way, Naomi wanted to try her luck. She called Lilian. She never thought that the phone call would be connected. She explained her reasons. Lilian only replied one sentence before hanging up
“If you want a lead, come to the prison to talk to me!”
In the end, Naomi decided to believe Lilian once.
In the prison, Naomi looked at the haggard Clarissa in disbelief through the glass window.
Clarissa was filthy. She drooled and even bit her handcuffs like an idiot!
“Miss Green, we just found out last night that Clarissa had gone mad….” Uncle Zach said in a suppressed tone to Naomi. Naomi looked shocked. She had not expected that. At that moment, Lilian, who stood opposite her, took out a stack of photos with a cold expression. “If you want your lead, sure, as long as you agree to come up with a pardon letter to get Clarissa out of being executed. I’ll give it to you!” Naomi started being cautious. “Why should I believe you?” “I’ll give you the original photos. You can get someone to find out if it’s fake or not!” Lilian looked at Clarissa with pity and doting in her eyes. Her exhausted face no longer had the arrogance of the past.
“Anyway, my daughter has gone mad. I only beg that she lives another day longer. Even if you come up with a pardon letter, she still has to stay in prison for the rest of her life.
“We no longer pose any threat to you. You can kill us off at any time, isn’t that so? Naomi, you can find the man you’ve been missing for so long with this photo. You lose nothing in this deal!”
Naomi pursed her lips tightly. She was silent.
Susan’s investigation was not wrong. Unfortunately, the only people who had any leads were Lilian and Scott.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Scott was in prison, wishing for her death… Thus, the photo was probably her only clue to finding Mister Long Legs.
“Naomi, if you really care about that man, you will agree to my request as a mother,” Lilian said sincerely. Five minutes later, Naomi finally decided.
