Chapter 700
It was Rosa, Harvey's mother.
"Hello, Aunt Rosa? It's me, Seth!" Seth said over the phone. "I can't seem to reach Harvey at the moment..."
"Don't go looking for him if it's nothing important," Rosa replied, and she sounded despondent.
'What? Why?” Seth asked.
Rosa naturally knew about what happened at Harvey's company.
It was also obvious her son was up to something when he sent away her daughter-in-law and her grandson.
Naturally, she tried to talk him out of it, but Harvey would not listen, and she could not do a thing about his stubbornness.
"Don't bother," she told Seth, not wanting him to get involved.
Seth, however, pressed, ' What happened? You're making it sound so serious..."
"Don't ask. Just remember what I told you.”
"Okay," Seth replied begrudgingly.
Once he hung up, however, he called his clinic and applied for leave-he decided that he must find Harvey.
Lulu Adams visited Barbara and her husband soon after she left the Slates.
She was worried that she had troubled them, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that they were still there.
Barbara was just returning from an errand and she happily came up to Lulu when she saw her. "Welcome back! Did you come to see us?"
"Yeah," Lulu replied.
Enthusiastic as ever, Barbara had Lulu stay with them for dinner and told her to stay the night as well since she saw that Lulu brought her bag along. Lulu agreed to it since she had not found lodging.
The next day, however, Lulu found Zachary Slate outside the front door just as she was about to leave to find a job and lodgings.
And he was not alone-there were eight burly bodyguards behind him.
Instantly wary, Lulu asked, "What do you want?"
"I told you. You either stay with me, or you're not seeing Barbara and her husband ever again. I've even brought my men just to take them away."
