Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson) novel Chapter 332

Chapter 332
“The old man said Jolene went to the police station with Carson. He told me not to tell anyone, especially you. He’s on cloud nine now. When he mentioned Jolene, contempt was written all over his face as he complained about Carson being blind to have this woman move out. He even condemned Jolene and Robin as two ungrateful scoundrels.
It seems that Carson’s father really trusts Victoria, as he has told her so. I made fun of it. “I understood. Please continue to monitor this matter and let me know if there is anything new.”
After hanging up the phone, I walked with my parents for a bit more before heading back to my room. I didn’t dare lie down since my back was sore, so I lay face down on the bed while scrolling through my phone. I opened WhatsApp, but when I was about to tell Isabella this happy news, I glimpsed the message Eric sent me ‘Are you there?
I wanted to ignore it, but I was afraid it was a business matter, so I simply replied with a single word: ‘No’.
– I have something interesting to tell you. Would you like to know?’
‘Whatever it is.
“Someone just begged me to pull some strings and bail out a drug and rape offender.
Eric Walker isn’t going to tell me this for no reason. I suddenly connected the dots with Robin’s case. Don’t tell me Jolene asked him for help? But this is impossible!
‘Why aren’t you saying anything? Don’t you want to know about this rapist? Eric sent another message upon seeing that I didn’t respond.
After thinking for a while, I hesitantly replied, ‘Does it have something to do with me?’
‘You really don’t know, or are you feigning ignorance with me?’ Eric sent a dismissive emoticon.
‘I really don’t know what you’re talking about.
‘Okay, since you have no idea, forget I ever said anything. The person is still waiting for my answer, and he is a close acquaintance of that, so I have to help, don’t I?’ Eric started beating around the bush.
Is he saying he’s going to help Robin? My emotions went into turmoil. Should I stop him? Or should I continue feigning ignorance? If I feign ignorance, Eric Walker might get pissed off and bail Robin out. If that happens, that Hamilton b*tch would be ecstatic. No, I can’t take that risk! So I asked, ‘Can you stop beating around the bush and get straight to the point?’
