487 A Strange Woman

Ryan frowned, put his hands in his pockets, and glanced at her as if she was ani***t. Julia quickly realized she had said something stupid, so she explained, "I mean, even though we believe Anna, we can't convince the court. To prove her innocence, we'll have to provide evidence."

Ryan nodded, then grinned cunningly and said, "I have the evidence here.”

"What?" Julia couldn't believe his words and moved closer to him.

Ryan didn't explain anything. He put his hands in his pockets, shrugged and said, "I only need your help with one thing. Do you want to have dinner now?"

"Huh?" Julia asked, not understanding what he meant. Before she could respond, Ryan had stopped a cab and told her to get in. He mentioned the name of a French restaurant, and the car abruptly changed direction

Sitting in the passenger seat, Ryan looked out of the window with a sorrowful expression. Meanwhile, Julia didn't know what was going on or what to do. She leaned closer to him and said, "Can't we just sit here and talk? I'm not particularly hungry."

Still staring out of the window, Ryan didn't seem interested in talking to her. After a while, the car stopped in front of a posh French restaurant. Julia followed Ryan and walked into the restaurant, feeling confused.

After entering the restaurant, Ryan sat at the table in the center of the restaurant and ordered a few of his favorite dishes without looking at the menu.

Julia was not in the mood for food: she asked, "What do you want me to do for you?"

Ryan sipped his lemonade and took a look around. As he set his glass aside, he said slowly, "I'm starving. Let's talk about it after we finish our meals, shall we?"

Julia frowned, wondering what he would do. Her stomach growled as she looked at the delicious dishes after they were served, which embarrassed her. She sniffed and said, "What a familiar smell," with a frown

"You mean the steak?" Ryan asked, raising his brows.

"No. I smelled the familiar perfume," Julia immediately replied, /’ve smelled this strange perfume somewhere before. But where? Thinking of that, Julia looked at Ryan, perplexed.

“Humph,” Ryan raised an eyebrow. He pushed a flash drive in front of her after finishing the last bite of pasta on his plate. Then he uttered ina serious tone, "This is the only proof | found that can prove Anna is not a murderer. | didn't dare to make more than one backup because | was afraid someone would steal it. So, I'd like you to keep a backup.”

"You just suspected me of being a bad guy's accomplice! Why do you want to give me such vital evidence now?" Julia asked, then opened her mouth wide in surprise.

Ryan looked at her strange actions with indifference, aware that the people at the next table were watching them. He then said frankly, "I was just testing you! Now I'm certain you're not an accomplice to the criminal.” You're too stupid to be a criminal, anyways. He thought to himselt.

"Ah, why?" Julia happily laughed and asked after hearing this.

Ryan thought for a while and said, "I suppose it's because of your temperament. | don't think you're a bad person at all, Itis late, so I'll give 486 A Strange Woman you the backup tomorrow. I'd like to ask you to take good care of it.”

"No worries,” Julia replied. She agreed to do this for Ryan because he had just complimented her.

Ryan cracked a smile. He put the flash drive in his pocket, stood up, and said, "Excuse me, | need to use the restroom. Take your time." He then turned and walked toward the restroom.

Julia smiled and nodded. She had just cut a piece of beef and was about to eat it when she caught a whiff of the familiar perfume again. After turning around, she saw a tall woman quickly walking toward the restroom.

After he left the cubical, Ryan washed his hands at the sink. At that moment, a person dressed extravagantly approached him.

After smelling the perfume, Ryan saw a woman in the mirror. The woman had long hair and was in heavy makeup. She was dressed in a long, low-cut gown that made her body look even sexier.

Then Ryan noticed that the woman was also staring at him, and they locked their gazes in the mirror. The woman then winked at him, giving him goosebumps. Not wanting to stay there any longer, Ryan quickly began to wash his hands and tried to leave. When he turned around, the woman beside him was also about to leave.

To his surprise, the next second, she stepped on something, stumbled, and collapsed on top of Ryan. Before Ryan could react, the woman had already placed her hands around his neck, and Ryan could feel her hot breath as they were close to each other.

"Oops!" The lady exclaimed.

At the same time, Julia finished eating her dish, including the broccoli and cherry tomatoes on the side of her plate. She waited a little longer before she realized something had gone wrong. 486 A Strange Woman

A moment of hesitation later, she moved ahead to the restroom. And she was surprised to find the men's restroom door locked and to hear a ‘woman panting.

Speechless, she frowned and clenched her fist tightly. After a brief thought, she raised her hand and slammed the door anyway, shouting, "Hey, it's Julia! Are you in there? Is that you? If you have a date, just tell me in advance! Why are you in such a rush? I'll count down to three now. | will let security open the door if you do not come out!"

"Three, two..."

The door handle turned before she could say "one," and aman emerged immediately after. He was tall and thin, wearing a sports suit and a baseball cap that covered his face.
