The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 374

Chapter 374 This Is My Girlfriend.

Suddenly, a spry old man, full of vitality, seized Halston, who was fleeing halfway.

“Hey there, aren’t you the youngest grandson of the Mulligan family, the one with green hair?”

He began to toy with Halston’s green hair, saying, “How intriguing! This is the first time I’ve seen someone with green hair. Kid, did something shocking happen to you? Share it with me to cheer me up.”

“Old Mr. Lorimer, you have to let me go. There’s a terrifying woman on my tail,” Halston pleaded as he tried to struggle free

As soon as the words fell, Raylee had caught up.

Due to her physical condition, the brief sprint left her panting heavily.

She was gulping for air, all the while glaring at Halston.

“If you keep running. Il turn this entire hase upside down to find you! If you don’t tell me what Mr. Foucault looks like today, don’t expect me to let you off the hook!”

The panicking Halston explained,

“Ray–Ray, I really did deceive you. I didn’t want to join the army. In my desperation, I made up this lie. Think about it, you’re Mr. Foucault’s girlfriend, yet you’ve never even seen his face. As an outsider, how could I have possibly seen it, right? Just think about it, doesn’t it make sense?”

“Yea, yea!” Raylee immediately stepped forward, pinching Halston by the ear. “Are you going to tell me or not? If you don’t, I swear I’ll twist your ears off!”

“Ouch, ouch, it hurts. Ray–Ray, let go of me!” Halston was on the brink of tears

“You two are incredibly alike. Why do you both insist or twisting my ear?”

Alfred Lorimer, who was standing off to the side, watched the scene unfold with a cheerful disposition. He clapped his hands in encouragement, saying, “Young lady, go ahead and do it! Give this Little Devil a good ear twist, and if you can, break his legs too. I need to avenge my grandson.”

“Old Mr. Lorimer, I didn’t cause your grandson’s death. How many times do I have to say it?” Halston pleaded with a mournful look.

Alfred sternly buffed. “If it’s not you, then who could it be? You’re the most mischievous one on the entire base, even dyeing your hair green. You’re irresponsible and such a mess. You must be the culprit!”

Only then did Raylee notice the old man.

For some reason, the old man’s upright stature, coupled with his familiar–looking eyes, bore a certain resemblance to Jeremiah.

Moreover, his last name is Lorimer… Can he be the patriarch of the Lorimer family? In other words, Jeremiah’s grandfather?

The speculation filled Raylee with complex emotions

Halston quietly explained,

“Old Mr. Lorimer suffers from Alzheimer’s disease, and his grandson has passed away. He sees everyone as his grandson’s killer. Even a stray dog who passes by and displeases him would be suspected of being the culprit.”

The expression on Raylee’s face grew even more complex.

Jeremiah has passed away. Could it be that the grandson Old Mr. Lorimer was talking about is Jeremiaht

Right then. Halston’s grandfather approached the trio.
