In J City, at CZ Community.
Jennifer was cleaning the room. At this time, the doorbell rang. Jennifer put down the stuff and then walked to the door. After opening the door, she found that there was no one outside.
She poked her head out to look outside puzzledly. There was still no one outside.
"Which kids are doing pranks again?"
Jennifer murmured. Then she was about to close the door. At this moment, she noticed an envelope on the ground. She stooped to pick it up and then saw Edith’s name on it.
It should be a letter to Edith, but she didn’t know who sent the letter. Besides, mobile phone communication was so advanced nowadays. A call or a text message could solve everything. It was very rare to send letters like this secretly.
Although Jennifer was so puzzled, she did not open the envelope to read the contents. After all, this was Edith's letter. Jennifer respected the privacy of others very much.
After taking the letter in, Jennifer walked to the table and put the letter on the table.
At this time, her mobile phone rang. It was Georgia’s call. Jennifer was very excited, so she quickly picked it up.
"Georgia, how is the situation on your side? Have you seen Casey?" Jennifer asked anxiously.
"Mom, I'm okay here. Casey helped me settle all the troubles. I don't need to pay 300,000 dollars anymore. What’s more, the school also gave me a full scholarship. You don't need to give me money anymore in the future. Now, my current scholarship is enough for me to live for a long time." Georgia was in a good mood, so her tone sounded a lot easier.
"Really? That's really great. I knew that Casey would definitely help you settle the trouble. You have to thank Casey. He helps us a lot. He is our benefactor. You should keep it in the mind and express your gratitude to him." Jennifer became excited when she heard that the trouble was resolved. As long as her daughter's trouble was resolved, that would be a great thing.
"Got it, Mom. I will remember Casey’s favor."
"Okay, I have to hang up. I have to cook some soup for Casey’s wife. She should be back soon. She is also busy these days, so I want to make some delicious food to let her relax." Jennifer said.
"Ah? Is Casey married?" It was obvious that Georgia was surprised by Jennifer's words.
"Yes, Casey's wife is very beautiful. Casey just re-hosted a wedding with her not long ago, and the whole J City was in uproar. The wedding was really fantastic. Many big shots attended that wedding." Jennifer experienced the wedding personally, so she was a little proud of it.
It seemed that Georgia was a little lost on the phone.
"Georgia, why don't you speak anymore? I feel you a little weird." A suspicion appeared on Jennifer's face.
"I’m fine, Mom. I have to hang up. Say hello to Casey’s wife. Go ahead your own business." Georgia said quickly.
Jennifer didn't say much, but felt relieved. After hanging up the phone, she went to make soup.
After a while, Edith came back, looking tired.
She stretched herself. Smelling the aroma of the food scent, she relaxed a lot.
"Jennifer, you are making soup again." Edith said.
When Jennifer heard Edith's voice, she immediately responded, "You’re back. The soup is almost ready. Go to the break first."
"By the way, there is a letter to you on the table." Jennifer paused and then said.
Edith put down her handbag. Hearing what Jennifer said, she was a little confused. She didn't expect someone to send her a letter.
She walked to the front of the table, saw the envelope on the table and then picked it up to have a look. Except her name on it, there was no other information, and no stamps. It seemed that the letter was not from a distance.
At this time, Jennifer came out with a bowl of soup. She put it on the table, and said, “Drink while it’s hot. It can keep your health. You don’t look good recently. You must be very tired at work, right? Drink some soup. It can relieve your fatigue."
Edith smiled at Jennifer, thanked her, and then asked, "Jennifer, where did you get this letter? There is no stamp on it."
"There was a knock on the door at that time. I opened the door but I didn’t see anyone. I just saw this letter. I don't know who put it. I saw your name written on it, so I took it in." Jennifer explained.
Edith nodded, wondering who sent this letter.
She opened the envelope directly. There was only a thin piece of paper inside. There were not many words written on it, only a short sentence.
"If you can, tomorrow afternoon, come to the third booth of Feiteng Bar to find me. I will be there all afternoon."
Seeing this, Edith was still a little confused. She thought, ‘I don't know who you are. If I just go there like this, what if it is a trap?’
Edith, who had experienced many troubles, was alert. Now, she generally ignored this kind of invitation.
However, when she saw the signature under this sentence, she was shocked.
"Your rival in love, Casey's first love."
"How is it possible? Casey told me that he has never been in a relationship before. This guy has no experience in love. If he had been in a relationship before, he would definitely not be what he is now." Edith muttered. She thought this should be a prank.
