Bestfriend Divorced Me When I Carried His Baby (Kelly and Pierce) novel Chapter 138

I Need Help 

Kelly’s POV 

[Tell me you secured the documents I gave you, Kelly] 

I inserted the flash drive on my new laptop and typed the password I input. The photos of the documents he gave are here Complete 

11 burned down with my condo unit, Attorney. 

your 

What? Kelly! That’s the only copy of the investigation file. The investigator died right after you grandmother died. That’s the only thing we have against your mother’s siblings J 

I smiled bitterly. “That’s why I’m asking for your advice, Attorney. I have nothing against them anymore Do you know a way to get a copy of the documents? Maybe the investigator still has a copy?” 

[There’s no other copy, Kelly. Now, I don’t know how to help you anymore.] 

I sighed after he ended the call. I know lying to him is wrong because he’s just trying to help me but I can’t help it. I need to secure everything I have even if it means lying to everyone around me. 

“Is something wrong?” That’s Emily, drinking wine. 

She took me and Snow to her condo unit. Actually, I declined at first because I can afford another home but she insisted saying it would be dangerous for me and my daughter to find another home knowing that there’s still a threat on my life. 

“I just told my grandma’s lawyer that I no longer have the evidence on mom’s case.” 

She stared into my eyes. “You don’t trust the attorney?” 

I sighed and massaged my forehead. “I don’t know, Emily. I feel like there’s something missing. I mean…. there is already enough evidence to put those people involved in my mother’s death behind bars and attorney Lee waited for me. I don’t know why but I feel like something’s wrong.” 

She crossed her legs and tilted her head. “Trust your instincts. It will protect you and your daughter.” 

I gave her a small smile and nodded. “Thank you, Emily.” 

She smirked and lifted her wine glass in the air. 

I’m so thankful that Emily’s here. She’s one of my support systems and I must admit that without her, I don’t have a strong foundation to fight. 

Days passed unexpectedly fast. Attorney Lee didn’t contact me for the past few days and that actually strengthened my doubt on him. Now I’m conducting my own investigation with the help of Luke. 

Sitting on my swivel chair in my dad’s company, the door slammed open, revealing Sara Foster with an angry face. Yara, my secretary looked so worried behind her while looking at me. I just nodded at her and she immediately left. 

“To whom do I owe this visit?” 

Sara slammed her fists on my table. I already told you that I won’t let it pass if you refuse to give me what I want, Kelly! It has been almost a week since we talked and you seemed to have no intention of giving me or my husband a position!” 

I crossed my legs and rested my back on my swivel chair. “That’s not easy, Sara. Apparently your husband doesn’t have any credentials qualified for any position other than a cleaner.”

She sucked her breath, obviously insulted. “Are you really testing my patience, huh? You are just my 

niece.” 

“Precisely!” I chuckled. “That’s why you should know that I’m just as cunning as you and your brother.” 

She gritted her teeth and balled her fists. “You can’t do this to me, Kelly!” 

“Why don’t we have an agreement? Bargain with me, Sara Foster. What can you do for me in exchange for giving you a position?” 

Her forehead creased. “What do you mean?” 

I intertwined my fingers and stared at her face blankly. “Let’s say…you’ll manage one of the branches of our hotels as a manager. That’s a high position. What can you do for me if I’m to give you that title?” 

She swallowed hard and slowly lifted her chin. “What do you want me to do?”
