Chapter 6 No Proof to Disprove
After leaving those words hanging in the air, Idris got into his car and drove away.
I was stunned for a few seconds before realizing he had seemed angry.
What did saying thank you have to do with us being husband and wife?
Not bothering to think more about it, I returned to the office to work overtime. Given my father’s illness, it seemed Scott Corporation would be increasingly busy.
Inside Scott Corporation’s Office.
As I reached the door, I heard giggling from inside.
When I entered, I saw Sweety Taters sitting on the sofa, watching a drama on her tablet. When she looked up and saw me, she put it down, then pushed the lunch box on the coffee table toward me. Where’d you go? Weren’t we supposed to have lunch together? Your food’s gone cold.”
I sat down next to her, opened the lunch box, and began eating. “My dad’s in the hospital. I went to
visit him.”
She looked concerned. “Mr. Scott is in the hospital? What happened?”
“Late–stage liver cancer,” I replied, finding it hard to swallow my food.
“Late–stage liver cancer? How could that…” Sweety paused, then looked at me. “Are you…”
“I’m fine!” I cut her off, fearing she would say something sentimental. “This is all a part of life. We’re all going to die. It’s just a matter of time.”
“Ugh!” She scooted over and said, “That’s not what I mean. I wasn’t planning to comfort you. I was going to say that now is the time to get along with Mr. Scott. Stop arguing about what happened years ago.”
I pursed my l*ps, suddenly losing my appetite. I put down my utensils and stared at the ceiling, feeling a bit helpless. “Does the truth even matter anymore?”
She sighed. “If only we could find the man who took you away back then. Then he could tell the police that you didn’t elope with him and that he lured you to the border using your sister’s name. But now he’s gone, so we have no proof.”
No proof…
Five years ago, I was eighteen and had just graduated from high school. Attracted by the allure of Southeast Alara, I applied to Mandala University where Moore was studying for her Master’s degree.
On enrollment day, Kane was busy with work and Mom had to take care of an elderly relative, so Moore was supposed to pick me up from the station.
(C
How could I have fallen for that? However, Moore then called and said that she was busy, telling me to go with him and that he would take care of me.
There was no surveillance footage or recording of what happened back then. Everything had been confirmed from the other people’s testimonies. I pursed my l*ps, unable to argue back. I simply looked at her sideways and said, “I lost consciousness as soon as I entered the hotel.”
