She was wearing an old-fashioned cotton overcoat, tightly wrapping her body, and her face was a little bruised. She could cover it with makeup, but the scars could still be seen clearly.
Seeing her waiting outside the Bridge Restaurant with her hands trembling in the cold air, I couldn’t help asking, "It’s so cold outside. Why don’t you go in?"
She smiled and looked a little upset. "I... I’m waiting for you." Seeing the embarrassment on her face, I stopped talking.
The Bridge Restaurant was not a high-end restaurant. When she worked in the George Group, she was a high-income white-collar worker. Sometimes, she also didn’t care about high consumption.
But now...
I didn’t know what was going on with her. Even if she didn’t have a job and Marshal didn’t treat her well, with her ability, she wouldn’t have lived such a difficult life.
After we entered the restaurant and ordered some food, she looked at me and wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.
I paused and took the initiative to ask, "Jackie, what can I do for you..."
"Mrs. George, do you still remember that you were kidnapped in the underground parking lot?" She said directly.
I was stunned for a while. Few people knew about it. How did she know?
"Marshal told you?" I met that man at that time because AC wanted to make a contract with the George Group, and it seemed that Marcus and Olivia were just the persons in charge of the negotiation.
At that time, I thought it wouldn’t have much impact, so I didn’t care about it and didn’t want anyone to know.
She shook her head. The heavy makeup couldn’t cover her gaunt face. "I overheard it. Have you ever thought about it? At that time, for Mr. George, you cooperated with Stefan Pearson to feign an abortion. How many people knew about it at that time?"
I thought for a while. At that time, except for Stefan and me, the only one who knew it should be Mario. It seemed that no one else knew about it.
It had been so long that I had almost forgotten it.
Seeing that I frowned, she said, "Haven’t you ever wondered why the kidnappers threatened you with your pregnancy to let them bid for the project? At that time, not many people knew about it!"
"Isn’t Marshal Stefan’s son? I thought of this when I saw that man with Marshal, so.
.." When Mr. Lee was with Marshal, I began to realize why he knew I was pregnant.
She shook her head. "Stefan didn’t even tell his wife. How could he tell Marshal? Besides, Marshal and Stefan have been at odds with each other for many years. They even didn’t talk to each other."
Except for Stefan, it would only be Mario. I couldn’t help frowning. "Mario is Dennis’s brother. Do you think he has got involved in this matter?"
She looked at me, her lips trembling with excitement. "Don’t you believe me?"
I shook my head and sighed, "Mario has no reason to do so." That was not what he wanted. He had shares in the George Group. Besides, I could at least be sure that he didn’t love Olivia that much and wouldn’t harm me.
