Valeria did not expect a text from Lamont.She thought she misread his name.
Why did he contact her in advance even though there was still another day till their appointment? Could there be something else? Valeria stared at the text message for a while.
She had to go and see him no matter what had happened, so she replied to the message immediately, 'TH be right there"
"I need to deal with some issues, so please don't alert anyone else and come alone, Miss Brown" he sent another message.
She frowned and thought for a moment before agreeing with his request, "Okay, I'll go alone later."
She immediately rushed to their meeting point after leaving William.
It took her a while to find the exact address, but it was just an ordinary two-story house.
She stopped the car and rang the doorbell.
Valeria was shocked to see the person that had opened the doorbell, "Are you Aunt Lucian?"
The one who opened the door was Lucian Barnbook, who used to serve her mother.
Valeria didn't have a deep impression of her, but she had been helping her mother with things before she turned eight, so she was equivalent to being her mother's assistant.
Lucian had helped her mother manage the company as well as her personal affairs.
However, she had left due to unknown reasons later.Her appearances had not changed much even though a decade had passed, so Valeria recognised her immediately.
She welcomed Valeria with a gentle smile, "Miss Brown is here, please come in!"
Lucian was not surprised to see her.
Did she know that she was coming? But Lamont was the one who sent her the message, so did they know each other? Valeria followed her into the house with doubt.
She was invited to sit on the sofa while Lucian poured her a cup of tea, but she did not drink it.
She put the cup of tea on the table and said, "Aunt Lucian, do you know Lamont? I came here because of his text message.
She smiled and said, "Miss Brown, I sent the text message."
"You sent it? Why did you pretend to be Lamont?" Valeria asked in surprise.
"I didn't pretend to be him.He called me and asked me to send you a message, Lucian explained.
"You know him?"
"Yes, I know him, and I even know why you are looking for him" She did not hide anything.
"Are you in trouble now? Did Ronald reveal his cunning plans and hurt you? You were isolated and helpless, so you remembered Madam Natalie's words and looked for Lamont with the clues she left for you, right?"
"How did you know?" Valeria was extremely shocked.
"Because I know that Ronald is not a good person.I know that he would reveal his evil character sooner or later.I know that he would do horrendous things to you and Madam Natalie!"
