All Too Late novel Chapter 325

Chapter 325 Adults Are All Liars

The next day, Gizem received a phone call from Lauren.

“What is the meaning of all this?” Lauren was fuming.

Gizem set her phone aside and put the call on speaker.

“Nothing.”

Lauren replied huffily, “I’m out of money.”

“So?” Gizem’s tone was ice cold. “I’m not your parent. Am I supposed to give you an allowance?”

“Gizem, what’s your problem?” Lauren was upset. “Just because I spent some of your money, you think you can act so high and mighty?”

“Don’t spend my money then. Every time you run out of money, you come crawling back to me,” mocked Gizem.

“You!” Lauren gritted her teeth. “What the h*ll is wrong with you?”

“Lauren, if you ever mess around using my face again, I won’t let you get away with it.” Gizem’s tone was flat.

“It’s not your real face anyway. What’s the big fuss?” Lauren sneered. “Anyhow, once you’re done with your mission, your face and name will disappear.”

“That might be so, but I am still using them now. In the meantime, you better act smarter!” Gizem retorted coolly.

“Gizem, I am your senior.” Lauren was infuriated.

Gizem said indifferently, “Senior? I would still scold you the same way even if you were my master.”

With that, she hung up the phone.

Lauren was boiling with rage. She set down her phone as she clenched her jaw.

Stupid Gizem!

She decided to make a call to Theodore.

“Are you here to tattle on Gizem?” said Theodore half-jokingly.

“Master, she’s nothing but a pawn. Why are you so nice to her?” Lauren couldn’t accept this.

“Oh, what do you know? Do you have any idea who her mentor is?” he asked sternly.

“Of course. Her mentor is one of your seniors. So what? She’s still foolishly toyed by us,” uttered Lauren with contempt.

“Lauren, for the past five years, everything we have, we owe to her. She’s smart, and she’s useful to us,” reminded Theodore solemnly.

Lauren snorted.

“We are too hung up on the past. Kathleen knows how to break through to the future. She is the reason we’ve gotten to where we are today,” he praised.

“Fine. I’ll bear with her a little longer,” Lauren said icily.

“By the way, any news on Nicolette’s whereabouts?” asked Theodore.

“No,” Lauren answered.

The whole purpose of her trip this time was to look for Nicolette. She also wanted to relax while she was at it.

However, Gizem was putting a damper on her plans.

Five years ago, Nicolette had taken the chaos as an opportunity to escape.

Although Theodore had told Lauren that Nicolette was no longer someone that mattered, Lauren still could not let go of the matter.

That was why she was out searching for Nicolette.

Lauren had no idea where she could be hiding.

There was no sign of her at all.

The only thing Lauren could do was set this matter aside for the time being.

Her priority right now was the issue in Jadeborough.

The next day, Desi knew that Gizem was going to attend a charity event and insisted on tagging along.

Gizem knew that Samuel disliked it when Desi tagged along with her.

This was because he was worried Gizem would be a bad influence on Desi.

Although this upset Gizem, she did not want to stir up any trouble.

“Desi, I’m sorry, but I’m really busy today. I won’t have the time to look after you,” she explained.

“Ms. Zabinski, you hate me, don’t you?” said Desi sadly.

Although Desi had discussed this with Eil before, she still adored Gizem.

“Of course not. I’ll bring you next time, okay?” Gizem replied helplessly.

“You adults are all liars.” Desi pouted.

Just as Gizem was in a dilemma, Samuel came downstairs.

When he saw his daughter’s reddened eyes, his heart ached.

“What’s going on?”

“Daddy, I want to follow Ms. Zabinski to the event.” Desi tugged at Samuel’s pants. “Daddy, I want to go.”
