Follow Me novel Chapter 29

Walking about five or six steps away, Sadie answered the call reluctantly. She said in a low voice, “What is it?”

Julian must really not have anything to do. She felt like he was keeping an eye on her.

“Come over for lunch at noon, the driver will be waiting for you at the gate. I have already completed all the formalities for you at school. You only have to live in the dorm once in few days, you can stay at home the rest of the time.” Julian’s sweet melodious voice came over the phone, his tone firm.

Sadie felt upset. She answered him and then disconnected the call. Why was he intervening in her life and deciding in her place if she was going to live on campus or not. What right did he have?

She cursed Julian and his whole family under her breath and patted her chest, trying to calm herself down. Then she turned around to go find Daisy.

“Sadie, nice knock-off! It almost looks genuine. How much was it?” Paige crossed her arms on her chest and stopped Sadie with a fake smile, “I heard you were sick but I don’t know what kind of sickness is that?”

“It’s a cold.” Sadie narrowed her eyes and glared at her condescendingly, “What do you mean?”

Any other day, Sadie wouldn’t have cared about how malicious her words were.

But today was different. Julian’s call had already made her angry enough, and now Paige was adding fuel to the fire and satirizing her.

Sadie was really poor and she couldn’t afford to buy anything from a designer brand, even if it was a cheap brand. She would have still thought for a long time before buying anything.

“I was just curious about that knock-off that you are wearing. Anyway, I just wanted it tell you that it’s your duty today.” Paige snorted coldly and beckoned Riley to leave.

Riley glanced at Sadie and said with a weird smile, “Looks like you got a lot of break-up settlement money so you can now even buy fake designer.”

“What are you even talking about?” Sadie yelled. But before she could rush off after him, Daisy stopped her and said pleadingly, “Forget it! You still have to live in the same dormitory for a long time, there’s no need to argue with them.”

Sadie was so angry that if it wasn’t for Daisy, she’d really have rushed forward and hit one of them.

“Don’t be angry! You look like a hungry tigress.” Daisy pattered her on her shoulder and pulled her away towards the classroom for the next class.

Sadie gradually calmed down with Daisy’s comfort, but she still felt really depressed.

After the morning class, she went back to the dorm without eating. Unexpectedly, Liddy called her to say that there was something wrong with the orphanage.

“What happened?” Sadie asked her but the call suddenly dropped and no matter how much she tried to call again the call didn’t go through.

Remembering that Liddy had previously told her that the Deputy Dean Raya ran off with the money, her eyes widened in shock and she quickly ran out.

After getting into a taxi, she called Liddy again. This time the call finally went through, Liddy was choking with sobs.

She said, “Raya sold off two fourteen-year-old girls, but they managed to run away and come back. The other party came to get them, killed one of them and injured the other.”

She also said, “Sadie, help…”

Sadie’s heart seized up in fear. She comforted Liddy incessantly, telling her not to cry and that she was going to help her.

She talked to her all the way. When she got off the taxi, the police had already surrounded the scene and the ambulance was driving away slowly.

After paying for the taxi, she rushed into the orphanage, trying not to think horrible things in her mind.

As soon as she got to the front of the building where the incident had occurred, she was immediately stopped by the police and was only allowed to enter after proving her identity.

The body had been taken away and the officers were now in the middle of taking account of the incident from the keeper aunts in the yard. All the young children were locked in the classroom, trembling in fear and hugging each other.

Sadie finally found a terribly crying Liddy. Her eyes red but her tone calm, Sadie asked, “How the hell did this happen?”
