On the way back, Becca had been silent.
Kelvin leaned against the back of the chair and stared at her profile. "Are you sad?"
After all, they had lived together for such a long time. Even an outsider like him was shocked, let alone Becca who had suffered such a big blow in succession.
"If I say I'm not sad, will it make me look like an ungrateful person?" Becca turned around and looked into Kelvin's eyes.
Kelvin compress his lips slightly, but he did not reply.
There was indeed a moment when I was a little sad, but when I thought of what had happened before, I felt that it was not so difficult to accept. I had not been able to figure out why I was always disliked by my father despite being his daughter. I thought that my father was partial because Laura had a mother to protect her. After all, a stepmother would make a father like a stepfather. But now I understand that even if my mother was alive, he would not like me.
"Your mother has been guarding you in another way." Kelvin's words were clear.
Becca's eyes sparkled.
Yes, she had always been guarded by her mother. Her mother did not want her to bear the ill name of the illegitimate child from the moment she was born, so she tried her best to find a father for her and let her be the eldest daughter of the Garcia Family.
Mother is just too tired...She had planned for so long and only wanted to give Becca a bright future, but she did not survive.
She must also have a sad past that she wanted no one to know. She must love that man so much that she was willing to give up everything and give birth to his child.
Becca let out a long sigh and took the initiative to hold Kelvin's hand.
"So, Mr. Lewis, you have another task now. Not only need you protect me, but you also need to help me find my father."
Kelvin choked on the sudden change in Becca's tone and coughed for a while.
"That's it?" He was surprised by Becca's receptivity.
"It's over." Becca nodded solemnly.
How could it be over?
Albert had died for her. She would not be able to overcome this hurdle.
She knew that Kelvin had interrogated Laura, but she had never asked what he had found out.
She didn't want to make things difficult for Kelvin, but it didn't mean that she wouldn't think about it. With Laura's intelligence and way of doing things, she absolutely could not think of killing people by aqua regia.
Although Laura hated her, she was more afraid of death, so she would never risk her life to kill her. Therefore, this was a trap. She and Laura were trapped in it, and Albert was just an unexpected victim.
Who would be so hostile to her and Laura at the same time? Becca knew the answer without thinking.

The design competition was coming to an end. Although Becca was not in the company, Janet had always been helping her deal with the competition. Janet failed in the final round of the PK, but Becca was on the shortlist.
Becca's injury was also getting better. Although she sprained her foot that day, fortunately, her bones were not seriously injured. After recuperation, she could walk on her own.
The doctor tore off the cast. The wound on her calf left a crescent scar on her skin. Like on her wrist, it was light red, which had become a mark for her to escape from death these days.
"little Becca!" The voice of Janet, which had not been heard for a long time, sounded in Becca Garcia's ears. Becca turned around and saw her appear at the door of the living room with Kelly.
"I was so worried when Davis accident happened, but you refused to let me see you." Before Becca could speak, Janet was already crying. "I've been like living in a dream these days. So many things have happened, and I'm about to have a heart attack."
"It's okay. It's all over." There was a flash of darkness in Becca's eyes, but he still comforted her.
The doctor said goodbye to Kelly and left. Kelly stepped forward and put a box of ointment on the tea table. "I asked someone to find a specific medicine that has a miraculous effect on removing scars."
Becca subconsciously shrank her wrist. She didn't want to be seen by Janet. If she knew that Becca was almost killed by someone, she would be scared to death.
