And she also looked at Marcel at the moment, and wanted to confirm whether Marcel still remembered Natalie five years ago through this sound!
However, she was disappointed!
Because Marcel had no reaction at all, checking the body.
Rae didn't have much time, thinking about how to deal with it.
At this time, Ophelia said in a louder voice, “Natalie, damn it. Why have you disappeared these years? Have you really become a policeman? Natalie, when you become a policeman, you don’t speak to your friend? I'm Ophelia.”
Rae had no choice but to walk past. When she was two meters away from them, she deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Hello, miss, are you talking to me?"
"Damn!" Ophelia was very impolite, "Of course I'm talking to you. I'm not talking to ghosts. Natalie, how can you see me and pretend you don't know me?"
Ophelia's words made Rae very afraid. She was afraid that everyone's eyes would be attracted. She immediately explained, "I'm Rae. You've got the wrong person!"
Ophelia stood there, motionless. She asked in disbelief, “How is that possible? You’re clearly Natalie. Rae?"
On the edge of Ophelia, Benjamin's eyes moved, a little deeper. Looking at Rae's eyes, he said, "Miss Grant, this is indeed Miss Baxter. I've met Miss Baxter before, but I didn't expect that we are so predestined. We meet again!"
Rae nodded slightly, “Yes, Mr Newman.”
"Is Miss Baxter a policeman?" Benjamin asked again.
Rae nodded.
"Thank you for dealing with what happened in our nightclub." Benjamin referred to the death of the woman.
Rae said, "I'm sorry. I'm on vacation. Today is a special case, so I come and have a look!
"It's so similar!" Ophelia said, "How can you be Rae? Where’s Natalie?”
Rae began to feel infinite sorrow in her heart. In this world, there was no Natalie any more! In this world, there was no Rae any more! The real Rae died, and the real Natalie lived, but also died.
Ophelia!
Her good friend!
She was right before Rae, but she could not tell her who she was!
Rae was getting more sad in her heart, but she couldn't show anything on her face.
She looked at Ophelia, and suddenly realized that there was a more serious problem. She couldn't look at her frankly, because she was her best friend in the past!
As Rae was chagrined, a gust of cool wind blew and a slender and straight body instantly appeared in her side. Rae turned her eyes and saw Marcel a pair of black eyes. He said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
Rae said with a smile, "Miss Grant seems to have mistaken me for someone else!"
Benjamin saw that Ophelia was still trying to figure out, so he immediately interrupted, "Miss Grant, we have something to do. If you recognize the wrong person, you'd better stop trying to figure it out and see what happened to Lu Yang's death first? I'm waiting to report back to the president!"
In this case, Ophelia was not in a position to say anything more. She only said to Rae, "I'm sorry, maybe I really admit my mistake! But you do look really like her. Natalie is my best friend. I've been looking for her for many years and miss her very much!"
"Never mind!" Rae's mood was almost affected, but she didn't dare to relax. Her back was sweating and she had to calm down as if it was just a common thing.
However, Ophelia was still staring at her, with obvious consideration and exploration in her eyes, as if to determine whether Rae's words were true or not.
Rae looked back at her, and there was restlessness in her calm eyes.
Ophelia swept Rae's eyes with a kind of deep and quiet eyes. Suddenly, she focused on the place behind her left ear. She looked confused. Finally, she thought deeply and said, "Can Miss Baxter give me your phone number? I have something to ask you in private. Is that okay?"
Ophelia's tone was flat, devoid of the joy and eagerness of the beginning in her voice.
Rae stared thoughtfully into her, knowing that Ophelia doubted her.
After all, she knew that Ophelia was sensitive, loyal, courageous and meticulous. She demanded perfection in everything she did. When Natalie passed away, Kane just told her classmates and friends who contacted her at the beginning of her university, not any relatives. In fact, the Graham family didn't have any close relatives now.
All these years, she and her father Kane were dependent on each other. After graduating from high school, Ophelia went to the capital. Later, they contacted each other, but they lost touch with each other because she lost a phone, so that she changed her identity and did not contact her again. Ophelia did not know that Natalie had passed away. Rae thought that since she was suspicious, she couldn't escape Ophelia’s eyes.
From Ophelia’s words, it seemed that she already suspected that Rae was lying.
Rae nodded and told her phone number. She said faintly, "Of course, just call me Rae!"
Ophelia wrote down the phone and called Rae again. Looking at Rae with deep blue and sharp eyes, she said calmly, "This is my phone, and it hasn't changed in ten years!"

the writing is quite childish, but maybe it's just the translations...
