Chapter 698 Why Should I Trust You?

One day, Daryl went to the Thomas' house to visit Paula as usual. Paula now was being confined at home and Daryl kept seeing her in the hope that the visit could soothe Paula somehow. Not long after Daryl got out of the gate, she caught the sight of Lucia who was pressing on eagerly.

As they crossed paths, Daryl turned back to call Lucia, "Lucia?"

Lucia looked back in bewilderment. "Do you know me?" she asked this strange woman politely.

With a gentle smile, Daryl replied, "Mr. Adams is already famous enough, let alone being the mother of Timothy and

Janet. I of course know you."

Lucia nodded lightly, "Excuse me but I've got to go."

Daryl tried to detain Lucia as she said blandly, "But Mr. Thomas has been absent for a couple of days, Miss Thomas is

thus not allowed to meet you."

Hearing Daryl mentioning Paula, Lucia turned back instantly. The anxiety rendered her voice even colder, "Who are you?

Why are you so clear about their business?"

Daryl sighed with a wry smile before her face resumed the emotionless expression. "May I have a word with you since

you could meet neither of them today?"

Lucia looked at Daryl narrowing with a skeptical gaze. Daryl's pretty and innocent face just reminded Lucia of the saying "Don't trust any beautiful woman". Lucia knew Daryl was approaching her with a certain purpose, though she didn't know what the exact intention was. Lucia just warned herself to be cautious, especially when she had be cheated by

Jeanne's innocent manners and "excellent" acting for so many times.

Knowing what Lucia was being afraid, Daryl gave her phone and handbag to Lucia and motioned her to look at Burton, who was trying to catch up with Lucia alongside his underlings. "It's I, rather than you, who should be worried about

my own safety, isn't it?" Daryl laughed.

Lucia nodded slowly. She decided to allow this woman to come closer, for that was the only way to reveal her real intention. They thus picked a quiet cafe in the nearby shopping mall. Daryl tried to have Lucia lay down her defense by

presenting her own identity and background honestly and keeping Lucia updated with everything in Thomas family

recently.

Lucia clenched her hands into balls as she listened. Paul had simply been frenzied unexpectedly. Not only did he hurt innocent Daryl, but also harmed his own sister again and again. "The wounds on your arm...?" Lucia was careful enough

to notice them.

Daryl was wearing a thin shirt with long sleeves despite the sultry heat just to conceal the wounds. She had just been too engrossed in the chatting with Lucia to keep them hidden. She had to pull down the sleeves with resignation, "Just got hurt while watching TV. He is very moody now and could commit something extreme any minute. Luckily he will calm

down soon after that."

The cuts were so deep that Lucia didn't think Daryl had faked them. When Lucia looked up again, the doubts in her eyes had been replaced by a sense of seriousness. "Why should I trust you?" demanded Lucia.

"You are starting to trust me when you raise such a question." Daryl sounded very confident. "And trust is the very

reason for you to get me to show you more convincing evidence."

Lucia didn't argue. Instead, she confirmed, "You are very smart."

"Only a smart replica of you." Daryl took a sip of the coffee and turned solemn as she gazed at Lucia while leaning against the sofa. "There are only two things in the world that you can't look straightly at. One is the sun and the other, human's heart. It's understandable that you think me suspicious. But isn't it easy for you to look into my background?

And my confidence doesn't come from nowhere if you do carry out the investigation."

Despite the remaining sense of vigilance, Lucia still decided to trust Daryl in a temporary term. She pushed her name card

to Daryl, "Just feel free to contact me if you meet any trouble, and I'll try my best to help. If you want to do anything to repay, please inform me of any news of the Thomases."

Daryl didn't take the name card, only jotting down the phone number on it. She then pushed the card back, "My trouble might be too tough for you to tackle. But I promise I will let you know anything related to you, including those about

Paula."

The agreement being reached, they decided to depart quickly. Lucia rose to her feet and paid for the coffee. But she was held back at the door when Daryl suddenly remembered something. Daryl quickly dialed a number, "Dianna, this is

Daryl..."

Hearing the familiar name, Lucia's eyes flashed with a note of hope. She returned to her seat to wait for more

information. She knew Dianna was a servant of the family, being a friend of the Thomases for so many years. After exchanging pleasantries with Dianna, Daryl suddenly instructed in a low voice, "Could you send the phone into the room of Miss Thomas? I've got something to inform her." She then gave the phone to Lucia and motioned her to answer

it.

Giving Daryl a grateful look, Lucia took the phone and immediately heard Paula's voice.

"What's the matter, Daryl?" Paula sounded quite weak and weary.

Lucia gave Daryl some extra points since Paula, who was so good at telling a dishonest person from the kind ones, was

calling Daryl by her given name. That intimacy was an endorsement of Daryl's honesty.
