The Billionaire’s Treasure Wife

Chapter 113: It’s all a ruse



Charlotte is headache how to perfunctory past, just phone call came in.

When she looked down at the number and saw that it was Cary, she held the corners of her lips awkwardly and smiled at Bruce, “I’m going to take a call.”

She dashed out of the ward, took the phone and dashed into the fire stairwell, slid open the answer button, “Cary, how’s it going?”

“The flight to Cloud Mountain doesn’t have her name on it either.” Cary was in a very bad mood and seemed to be suppressing his anger, “I checked all the flights tonight, she probably went to Newport.”

“Newport!” Charlotte’s face suddenly froze when she heard that.

Lindsey had neither classmates nor relatives in Newport, Dad had really done too hard this time!

“It’s just a suspicion at the moment, her name is not on the passenger list I checked, I only saw a vague figure in the video.” Cary told the truth: “I have booked a ticket to Newport, leaving in an hour, B City, you arrange things.”

Charlotte agreed, hurriedly gave a few instructions, ended the call and went back to Bruce’s ward.

However, before she could say anything, Bruce asked coldly, “Has Lindsey been sent away or is she being held in the Security Division.”

He had such a big accident, Jack did not even look at himself, is not here without silver.

“Bruce, let me explain.” Charlotte deliberated and forced out a smile: “Lindsey will be here soon, you have to trust me.”

“Sis, has anyone ever told you that the smile on your face when you lie is very unnatural.” Bruce’s tone was light, but the overpowering aura emanating from his body was like a materialized sharp arrow that poked Charlotte’s heart: “It was Uncle’s idea, right?”

“No!” Charlotte answered too quickly, and when she reacted, Bruce had already closed his eyes, and his cold laugh was horrifying and frightening: “Very well, I know what to do!”

Charlotte is speechless, this time she said is also wrong, do not say is also wrong, dilemma.

Bruce, as if she did not exist, adjusted the height of the bed to lie flat. Only the rapid rise and fall of the chest, showing that there is nowhere to vent the fury of a million.

In a few moments, the room fell into a dead silence, the airflow of their breathing is clearly audible.

“The unexpected knock on the door broke the quiet and eerie atmosphere of the room, followed by Jack pushing the door in and saying to Charlotte: “Old Mr. Grant said that if we can’t find Lindsey, we don’t have to spend the Chinese New Year this year. ”

After the words, his eyes lingered on Bruce for a second, turned around and left the ward.

Bruce abruptly opened his eyes and looked fixedly at the lamp on the ceiling. The ink-colored eyes, the constant surge of anger, seems to burn him out of the general.

He really was right, Lindsey was really forced away by the eldest uncle.

In order to maintain the reputation of The Grant family, in order to leave a trace of decency to the third aunt, actually cold-blooded Lindsey as a sacrificial lamb, a kick away. But who cares about his feelings, who cares about his pain!

“Bruce…” Charlotte looked at him worriedly, wanting to say something: “I will find Lindsey as soon as possible.”

Bruce did not say anything, even the eyes are stingy, continue to immerse themselves in the world.

Charlotte stayed with him uneasily for a long time, and when she saw that his mood still did not ease, she had to inform the bodyguard to come in and retreated with mixed feelings.

Closing the door of the ward, she did not go to see Old Mr. Grant, but went to Burton’s ward with lighter steps.

Since Burton’s injury, the third aunt had purposely stayed in B City to accompany him, and the whole thing from beginning to end, except for them, mother and son, no second person was so impatient, so eager to have Bruce as an invalid forever.

The night was late. A huge canopy of stars loomed over Newport.

Lindsey fell into bed with her clothes, thinking of her late grandfather, thinking of her three brothers who were often mean to her, but actually hated to hold her in their hearts, and her nose tingled.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

After a night of sleep and waking up, she couldn’t lie down anymore at dawn, so she got up and took a shower and changed into clean clothes and went downstairs.

Although it was winter, the weather in Newport was as warm as spring and the sky was blue.

After finding out the location of the bank, Lindsey strolled down the street with her hands in her pockets, distracted by the morning sun.

The salty sea breeze kept blowing her hair long and itchy into her collar, annoying and depressing. Stopping, she fumbled around in her pocket and finally found a leather band, grabbing her long hair into a random ball to hold it in place.

After finishing her hair, a car suddenly stopped at the side of the road, and Edward’s pleasant smile appeared in front of her eyes: “Good morning, I was going to meet you at the hotel for breakfast.”

“Thanks.” Lindsey lazily rejected it and subconsciously raised her hand to look at the atomic watch on her wrist: “I still have something to do.”

After saying that, she smiled apologetically at him and quickened her pace towards the bank.

When she arrived at the nearby bank, Lindsey pulled out her bank card, swiped open the door to the 24-hour self-service area, and went in to withdraw her money.

The first thing she did was to take out 20, 000 and then find a place to eat breakfast.

She had some idea of what her grandfather had asked her to do at the end of his life, but she hadn’t yet figured out how to implement it.

She had already promised Edward to join his film, she would not go back on her word, but before that she had to go back to L city. her sister-in-law Fiona’s due date was still a few months away, and Warren was on assignment most of the time, so she might be able to help out.

A bowl of seafood porridge has just been half eaten, opposite the empty seat, and Edward’s smiling face appeared.

“Edward, what a life, you think I would believe such a coincidence?” Lindsey raised his eyebrows, smirking as he surveyed him. “Can you change the set.”

The smile on Edward’s face froze and he said awkwardly, “I did follow you here, but not for the movie.”

Lindsey raised her eyes and looked at him noncommittally.

“I just don’t feel comfortable with you being alone.” Edward’s gaze was sincere, and his concern did not seem to be fake: “You seem to have something on your mind.”

“Thank you Edward for your concern.” Lindsey picked up the bowl and drank all the porridge in it with a few giggles, stood up and looked at him from above: “I still have things to do, as for when I will be in the group, I will contact you.”

“Lindsey …” Edward was interrupted by her just before he spoke: “By the way, I will pay for the room myself, good luck.”

After the words, Lindsey left the store without looking back, and returned to the hotel with fast footsteps.

She packed her luggage, checked out and took the airport bus to the airport.

Edward chased her all the way to the hotel and learned that she had already left, and immediately regretted ordering the driver to chase her.

When Edward arrived at the airport, Lindsey was already in the terminal. Coincidentally, the flight from B City to Newport had just landed.

He was thinking about Lindsey, but he bumped into someone. When he looked up and saw that it was Cary, Edward’s mind moved and a formulaic smile appeared on his face to apologize.

Cary’s gloomy face, a nonchalant nod to him, strides out of the terminal. edward faintly hooks his lips and watches him leave, once again making up his mind to keep Lindsey.
