Chapter 136 The Trap Has Been Laid Long Ago
After something like this happened, she could believe no one now and did not even dare to think any further.
Lea was terrified by the scarlet look in her eyes. “Kisa, what’s wrong with you?”
“Did you see Howard when he went up
there?”
Lea subconsciously shook her head. “I listened to you and hid in that corner. I didn’t see Howard
go up until Sharon went up with many guests. Not only Howard, but no one else went up there.” Lea looked sincere.
If what Lea said was true, then Howard and the press had been hiding upstairs from the beginning, waiting for her to appear. In other words, the trap had already been laid. Whether she disguised as a maid or not, and whether Sharon discovered her whereabouts, as long as she wanted to get back her mother’s belongings, she would fall into this trap.
A chill ran up in her spine as she thought about this. It turned out that no matter what, she was always in the open and the trap was always in the dark.
She wrapped her arms around her knees helplessly as she kept blaming herself. ‘If I hadn’t been so desperate to get back my mother’s belongings, I wouldn’t have been used by Sharon and Anthony. What should I do now? What can I do to restore GK Pictures’s reputation? If Mrs. Kooper Sr. were still awake, she would be disappointed in me.‘ The more she thought about it, the more upset she became, and tears of helplessness and remorse fell involuntarily.
Seeing this, Lea put her arms around her and cried. “I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have let you take up this temporary job.”
The mention of this temporary maid job puzzled Kisa again. After all, Lea had never taken on any private work. So she wondered why the two temporary maids had failed to show up and Lea and she were the replacement. It seemed that someone had prearranged the coincidence. She looked at Lea. “Who introduced you to the Case family as a temporary maid?”
