Harrison Bai's mind was in a mess. When he heard the words of "Alice Gu" mentioned by Melissa Leng again, he fell silent. The girl who always had a faint smile appeared in front of imr again, she was so gentle and quiet. He hadn't heard her name for a long time, neither had he had a dream about her.
"Alright, I'll help you."
As she expected, Melissa drew him close, but she was not happy. "It has been 5 years now. You still couldn't forget her, right?"
"You know Elliot Mo is investigating the case of Sherri Leng right?" Not willing to talk more nonsense, she said directly.
"Okay, let's get to the point. I'm not afraid to tell you that it was my sister, Michelle Leng, and the eldest daughter of the Su family, Janine Su, who did it."
He knew it.
Someone doped Sherri and wanted to carry out sexual misconduct. Fortunately, her husband, Elliot, and the police came to stop this from happening in time, but Elliot did not let it go. He believed that there must be a bigger manipulator behind it, so he sent people to investigate in detail.
"Why did you tell me that?"
"It's true that my sister and Miss Su are somewhat possessed by such a thing, but that's the punishment that should be given to Sherri. You know that." After a pause, Melissa continued, "the real cause of sister Alice's death is Sherri."
"You are talking about two different things."
"Both you and I don't want her to live a better life. Why are there two things? Harrison, my brother, I came to you because I had hoped that you would help my sister and Janine get rid of their suspicion. "
"Do you think that I have the ability to stop Elliot?" "Besides, I'm the only child in my family. I don't have any sisters. You don't have the right to call me a brother, Miss Leng."
Melissa bit her lips and said unwillingly, "we can't stop Elliot from investigating us, but nothing is impossible as long as we have the money! I've found a scapegoat to take the blame for my sister and Janine, so... With lawyer Bai's eloquence, even if Elliot suspected, I think you can solve it. "
To be honest, he hated Miss Leng who was sitting in front of him. He even felt that it was a waste of time to come here today.
Noticing the impatience on his face, Melissa persuaded, "Mr. Bai! Don't you want to start a revenge on Sherri for Alice? If it weren't for the interference of Sherri, sister Alice's illness wouldn't have been delayed! Maybe Alice would still be alive. What she has is not an incurable disease at all. Sherri lied to you just to escape from the blame! "
Melissa reminded him again of the time they spent together 5 years ago.
The three of them, him, Sherri and Alice, grew up together. They seemed to stick around all the time, like the strongest triangle that cannot be broken. Then they went to the school together and played together.
If you see Sherri, you will definitely see Harrison and Alice somewhere nearby.
Not long after, as time went by, Harrison became more and more affectionate to Alice, and Sherri became their matchmaker.
The three of them had once imagined their future under the vast starry sky. "I will marry Harrison in the future. Sherri, you must be my Bridesmaid!"
Alice looked at the twinkling stars in the sky, as if there was also a starry sky in her eyes.
"Of course, I will definitely go to your wedding!"
"Although we are so familiar with each other, but there's no way that you are going to give us only a little red packet!"
At that time, Harrison was a playful and carefree young man, totally different from his mature appearance 5 years later.
Alice's favorite thing was to bask in the sun in the winter. She lay on Harrison's legs like a kitten, squinting her eyes leisurely. She placed her headphones on in one ear to listen to the melodious music, and the other in Harrison's ear.
Touching Alice's long soft hair, he felt that this little girl was just his entire world while she lay on his legs.
"Ahem..." Alice took out a handkerchief from her pocket, covered her mouth and coughed.
"You caught a cold? Let's go inside. " Feeling sorry for her, Harrison gently stroked Alice's back.
"No worries." Alice smiled.
Her smile was the most infectious and reassuring, like a spring breeze skimming over the water, leaving ripples in his heart.
"I'll bask in the sun for a little longer. Are you trying to find an excuse for me?"
"Of course not!" Since Alice said so, there was no reason to stop her.
"How could it be? If you want to lie here for the rest of your life, I'll willingly let you do that. " Thought Harrison.
Seeing that Alice had found a comfortable place and squinted again, he felt infinite tenderness in his heart.
Alice would tell everything to him except her illness.
"Sherri, you are the only one who knows this except from my parents. Please don't tell him, okay?"
Holding her hands, Alice opened her eyes widely and looked pitiful at Sherri.
"If I hadn't found this, would you have hidden it from me?"
With a bloody handkerchief in her hand, Sherri was not paying attention to what she just said anymore.
