Chapter 544 Traces of the Truth

She didn’t know how to deal with emotions this heavy. She just grit her teeth and took it.

But she wasn’t pathetic. Since the guy felt sick just looking at her, she would just disappear.

It was perfect timing that Lucas had found her. He showed her a ton of her old records and told her who s really was. He promised to get her out of there. Her head was a mess and she just wanted to hide, so she went along with it.

She stayed in his apartment. But she wasn’t happy.

The anger and pain just kept twisting in her chest. It was getting worse every day.

“Tammy, it’s done. You want to try it? It might be pretty bad.”

Lucas looked at the mess of a meal in his hands. He made a mental note to hire a chef to teach him. He needed to learn how to make at least a few things she liked.

In the past, he had coasted on her feelings for him and screwed up a lot. He had thrown away the most rea thing he ever had. But he thought he could still fix it. He was going to try his hardest to learn how to actual treat her right.

“Okay, I’ll try it.”

Tammy took a fork and had a bite.

It wasn’t disgusting, but it wasn’t good. It definitely didn’t taste like Taven’s cooking. But she ate it anyway, bite by bite, without changing her expression. You can force yourself to get used to a new taste if you have

Lucas was thrilled she didn’t spit it out. To him, that meant there was still a chance. They sat there through the meal, both of them thinking about completely different things.

A glass shattered right at his feet. James shut up immediately. The look on the boss‘ face sent a chill down his spine.

“Say one more word and you’re fired.

James stayed quiet,

Norman rubbed his face. He sounded exhausted and pissed off. “Just keep looking. I don’t care what it costs.

He was making such a scene that everyone in their circle knew. The news was everywhere. The brand ne head of the Cole family, the guy who used to be a total player, was letting his business rot to find a wom It was insane.

The old Norman changed girls faster than he changed his socks. No one ever lasted more than a month. Everyone was dying to know who this girl was. They tried to dig for info, but they hit a wall. All they fou was that she was connected to two other powerhouses.

Jasper and some mysterious jewelry mogul were also looking for the same girl. It felt like a dark cloud w sitting over Bellwood.

This made Lucas even more paranoid. He barely dared to visit Tammy and he was being extra careful.

Tatiana’s people reported back soon after.

“So Lucas just goes from work to home? He doesn’t

“Yeah. We are on him 24/7. He went

O a few business dinners, but nothing looked suspicious.”

Tatiana sat there in silence, tapping her desk. On paper, Lucas was clean. Ever since Tammy vanished, he had been acting just as panicked as everyone else. His routine was normal.
