Jordan’s attitude towards Hailey was still firm. He would not give her any chance. Seeing his resolve, Hailey was very upset and did not know how to regain Jordan’s favor.
Zara was as disappointed as she was. If Jordan refused to be intimate with Hailey, he wouldn’t come into contact with her lipstick. If so, Zara wouldn’t be able to complete the mission that Park Sang-cheol had assigned to her.
If she couldn’t complete the mission, she would be killed by those South Koreans at any time.
Jordan soon managed to coax the baby to sleep.
He stood up and prepared to leave.
Just then, Hailey’s phone suddenly rang. Jordan glanced at her phone screen. It was her mother, Sylvie.
Hailey picked up the call. “Mom, what’s the matter? Jordan is back but you’re not at home. Come back and cook for us. Jordan loves to eat your cooking.”
As Hailey spoke, her expression suddenly changed and her voice became twice as loud.
Hailey said, “Mom, what did you say? You’re at the police station? You… killed someone?!”
Jordan, who was about to leave, immediately stopped and turned around in shock.
…
Half an hour ago.
Orlando, the AMC movie theater.
Sylvie and an unfamiliar man held hands and walked into the cinema together. The two of them chose the last row. Most people knew that for a couple to choose the last row in an empty movie theater meant that they wanted to be intimate.
Sylvie and this unfamiliar man were not really a couple. After she became 10 years younger, she opened a beauty salon and made many new friends. There were also many men pursuing her.
Among them, there was no lack of her type.
The woman was 41 years old. She felt that this was a chance given to her by the heavens to return to her youth. She couldn’t miss it.
Every day when Sylvie returned home and saw the old and useless Benedict, she would feel very disgusted. She had already shared his bed for many years.
She had been out all day recently because she had a new lover.
“Sylvie, you’re so beautiful.”
In the last row of the theater, the man held Sylvie’s hand and kissed her.
Sylvie didn’t object. This wasn’t their first time doing this. However, less than a minute after they kissed, the man suddenly couldn’t breathe and fell to the ground.
“Hey, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me!”
Sylvie was scared. She placed her hand under the man’s nose and realized that he was no longer breathing!
Her lover was dead!
“Ah!”
Sylvie immediately shouted, attracting the attention of the other guests. Soon, the staff came over and called the police to arrest Sylvie.
…
Hailey hung up the phone, her heart burning with anxiety. She hurriedly pulled Jordan back and said, “Hubby, don’t go yet. Something happened to my mother. The police said that she murdered someone. They’ve arrested her now. Hubby, please save my mother. Only you can save her now. You know that my mother would never murder anyone. They must have it all wrong!”
Jordan also frowned, feeling that this matter was very strange. He had lived with Sylvie for more than three years, so he knew her character. Although Sylvie was snobbish and vain, she was not an evil person. She was just an ordinary woman and would not have the intention to kill anyone.
‘Could it be Shaun?’
