Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 477

477 The White Lie

Bill leaned up against the school bus and dialed Anna's number. He remembered it because he had stolen Peace's phone before.

It took Anna a long while to answer the phone. She left the auditorium quietly through the side door. After pressing the answer button, she lowered her voice and asked, "Hello?

"The bus has a brake issue. Tell them to change buses."

The moment she heard it, Anna tensed up and became terrified. Before she could ask who that was, Bill hung up the phone. Her mind kept replaying the straightforward but shocking message. It wasn’t until a minute later that she called back immediately, only to find that she couldn't get through.

Just as Anna was about to return to the auditorium, she noticed the doors had been opened. And people rushed out of the jammed doorway. Immediately after that, Anna became alarmed and dashed toward the underground parking lot.

She instantly stopped in front of the bus owned by Birmingham High School. The last students were just getting on the bus at that point. Anna slammed the door shut and asked the driver to get out because she thought she had no time to explain to him what happened.

"What's the matter with this woman?" The driver asked, frowning as he slowly began the engine.

Tammy, who heard the noise, looked out the window and exclaimed, "Stop the car!"

The driver had no choice but to stop, Tammy jumped out of the car as 476 The White Lie soon as the door opened.

"Brake!" Anna yanked the driver out of the driver's seat, panting.

The driver was startled after checking the brakes suspiciously. "Dear God!" he exclaimed. After coming back to his senses, he asked Anna, "How did you know there was a problem with the brakes?”

Anna didn't have time to explain, so she ignored him. She called the police first and hung up before saying, "I'll explain this to the police.”

For three days, Birmingham had been raining nonstop, and the air was extremely humid.

When Anna woke up in the bedroom, she heard the sound of raindrops outside the window. Frowning slightly, she opened the curtains and looked out.

The sky was so dark that Anna thought it was night. Somehow, as she looked up at the dark sky, Anna felt anxious and sorrowful for no reason.

After a shower, she entered the dining room and saw Wayne and Matthew reading the Financial Times. Tammy then walked downstairs in her school uniform. When she noticed the extra cutlery in the dining room, she asked, "Is Grandma back?"

"It's Ryan," Wayne looked up at her and answered.

Sitting next to Wayne, Anna sipped her milk. She raised her eyes and looked at Wayne, who was reading the newspaper. "I heard he was helping police catch criminals abroad. Is this mission over?" Anna asked.

"Yes, he's now taking a break." Wayne flipped over the paper, seemingly unconcerned about the situation. What surprised Anna was that Ryan had not told her of this but had instead told Wayne. 476 The White Lie

"Read it after you finish your breakfast," she said and snatched the newspaper from both of their hands.

Wayne and Matthew exchanged glances and skimmed their lips together. The maid immediately brought breakfast to the two of them.

At that time, Tammy had already wiped her mouth and walked upstairs. She returned to the dining room a short time later with her schoolbag, saying, "Let the driver take me to school earlier today. You don't have to come with me.”

With that, she dashed to the entrance to change her shoes. The maid handed her an umbrella before she went out.

Wayne looked up at Tammy as she was about to take the umbrella "Tammy, you don't have to go to school for a while,” he said slowly and softly.

"Why?" Tammy loosened her grasp, and the umbrella thudded to the floor. Upset, she stood at the front door and looked over at Wayne, retorting, "I told you | didn't want to work for your company."
