CEO's Dumb Bride novel Chapter 133

Chapter 133 The Unknown Connection

Harriet smiled at her out of courtesy but said nothing. After washing her hands, she left.

Lilian looked at her graceful figure and then at the disheveled reflection in the mirror. The sharp contrast in their temperament was evident.

She truly felt dwarfed.

Everyone was supposed to admire this kind of woman.

Lilian looked at her messy hair and weakly curled her lips. How could anyone like someone as terrible as her?

She tidied up her hair and walked out of the restroom.

When she went back to her cubicle, Harriet was standing next to Katie. She was leaning over to look at Katie's computer, and they were discussing something.

Katie caught a glimpse of Lilian from the corner of her eye and whispered, "Ms. Osborne, do you know where the mute person comes from?"

Harriet paused for a moment but soon regained her composure. "Just focus on your work, and don't gossip."

Katie pouted, manipulating the mouse and keyboard to modify the documents.

Harriet subconsciously turned to look at Lilian. There was a hint of indiscernible emotions in her eyes. Shortly after, she stood up and returned to her office.

Since Harriet had returned, Katie restrained herself and didn't cause Lilian trouble again.

Although Nelson gave her a stack of work, he did it by himself, leaving her idle every day.

However, something happened to Clyde. When Lilian left work on Friday, she suddenly heard people discussing how there were problems with Clyde's accounts and someone had come to investigate. Clyde might end up in jail.

As they talked, everyone looked at Lilian with sympathy.

The people in the company mistakenly believed that Lilian had a fling with Clyde. Now that he was in trouble, no one would protect her.

Lilian pretended not to notice their gazes and silently stood in the corner, waiting for the elevator to arrive. Once it did, she quickly walked out.

Francis didn't come home that night. Mr. Vaughn, the lawyer, texted her, telling her about their meeting place tomorrow.

With her phone in her hands, Lilian slept on the sofa and went to the designated place early the next morning.

"Can you help me find someone? Yes, I'll send you the information shortly. Thank you."

After hanging up the phone, he asked Lilian, "Do you only know his name? Do you have any other information?"

Lilian took out her phone and typed. "The old lady is named Fabiana Klaud, and Paul has a grandson who is about to get married."

Mr. Vaughn nodded. "I see."

The two of them waited for news while Mr. Vaughn picked up the menu and asked Lilian, "What would you like to drink?"

Lilian touched her cheek. She had never had coffee before, and she was currently receiving an infusion, so she couldn't drink.

She only ordered a glass of water.

Mr. Vaughn stared at her for a while and suddenly spoke again, "Take no offense, Ms. Rossum, but may I know if you are born mute or..."

Lilian bit her lip and shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
