What?
Anna snickered, "You're mistaken, where is Rupert's sweetheart?"
And she just saw Rupert, who was clearly at the pier to save himself ......
Crap!
Anna's heart stuttered, the bright cut pupils instantly glared round.
No way, right?
Is it really true that Bruno's brat's rabbit's mouth was right and Rupert really likes her?
But, why do you like her?
She obviously had no dealings with Rupert, and Rupert had said that about her before.
Like her, is this not a slap in the face?
"Why aren't you talking?" Bonnie asked curiously when she didn't hear a sound.
Anna then snapped back to her senses, "Oh, I was just thinking about what I was going to eat."
"You want something to eat, I'll get it for you on my way here." Bonnie said.
Anna refused, "I thought better of it, I'm going back to the Newman family, it's been a long time since I've had dinner with my parents and Bruno, and I want to go back for the little crisps."
"That's fine," Bonnie didn't think much of it, "Tell my aunts and uncles hello and I'll take the kids to see them some other time."
"Okay." Anna then hung up the phone and sat down on the couch, her mood in disarray.
--
On this end, Bonnie had just hung up the phone when she heard the familiar sound of a car outside her door.
It's Sebastian back!
Bonnie immediately trotted out and looked at Sebastian who got out of the car with a nervous expression, "How is it, is everyone okay?"
"It's okay, it's all settled."
"What about the kidnappers, have they been caught too?" Bonnie asked again.
"How can he tell me when he's so injured that he can't even talk?" Aliyah said, "Anyway, you get over here right now."
Can't talk anymore?
Sebastian chortled, reminding Aliyah, "Mother, if he can't talk anymore, and who told you that I made him that way?"
This-
Aliyah was speechless for a moment.
When he tried to speak again, Sebastian had already hung up the phone.
She was furious, but there was nothing she could do but turn her attention back to Charles, who was wrapped up like a mummy on the hospital bed.
Just half an hour ago, Aliyah came home from a party with some old sisters and saw Charles, who had been left on the doorstep, already dying.
She was so frightened that she rushed Charles to the hospital and then heard Charles say that it was all Sebastian's doing.
"Cousin," Aliyah asked, remembering what Sebastian had just said, "what exactly did you do to make Sebastian do this to you, and if you don't tell the truth, how can I help you get justice?"
