Chapter 283 Disregarding It
At the same time, in the Lawrence family’s mansion. After Byron sent Wendy away in the evening, she returned and looked for Melody straight away. Melody thought that there was finally news about Estie after seeing Wendy. She asked her at once, “Why did you come back? Did you manage to find Estie?”
Wendy shook her head in a distraught manner.
An accusatory expression formed on Melody’s face upon seeing Wendy’s gestures. “Why did you come back when Estie hasn’t been found yet? Don’t you know how to help the others look for her?”
Regardless of how much she took Wendy’s side, Wendy had gone overboard this time around. After hearing what she said, a guilty expression appeared on Wendy’s face. “Aunt, I wanted to help them look for her, but—”
“But what?!” Melody asked her angrily.
Wendy raised her eyes. Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Melody pitifully.” However, Byron blamed me for not taking good care of Estie and asked me to scram. He looked extremely panicked, so I didn’t dare to cause him more frustration by staying back.”
Melody had only heard her mention on the phone that Estie ran out because she did not look after her well. However, she had no idea what actually happened.
After finding out that Byron had gotten angry at Wendy over this incident, Melody felt rather perplexed. “What happened? Why did Estie go missing after running off herself?”.
Wendy lowered her gaze and spoke up in a tearful tone as she explained everything, “After I arrived, I realized that Byron and Rosalie were staying in the same room as there weren’t enough rooms in the hotel. Therefore, I wanted to help him change rooms.”
At this point, Wendy raised her head slightly and glanced at Melody’s reaction. She then said softly, “I went down to ask if there were any empty rooms. As soon as I entered the elevator, Estie suddenly followed me in. I didn’t know what she was up to. I didn’t expect her to run out the moment the elevator doors opened. I didn’t manage to react in time…”
