Worship The Ground You Walk On novel Chapter 38

Fortunately, the “car accident” that happened in front of the restaurant hadn’t done any damage, so Claudia just put it behind herself and reminded herself to be more careful from now on.

After all, Conrad was safe, and that was the most important thing.

However, Kim still felt anxious about it. She went to the restaurant to get the surveillance video of the entrance and noted down the license plate number of the car that night.

The next day, Kim went to the police to report this case. The police checked the license plate number and told her the owner of this car had reported the loss of his car ten days ago. Therefore, the accident was designed by someone else, not him.

Kim heard that and her heart jumped to her throat. Since someone designed the accident and it didn’t cause any damage, did that mean Claudia and the baby were still in danger?

Just as thousands of dark thoughts flashed into Kim’s mind, the policeman added, “Another gentleman just checked this license plate number too!”

“A gentleman? What’s his name?”

“His last name is Cooper, and he’s a famous surgeon of Central Hospital!” The policeman kept Marshall’s name card, which was placed on the desk, so he remembered him instantly.

Kim understood and gave a smile. It seemed that Marshall still had feelings for Claudia.

In the Crawford Group’s building, a female secretary stopped Kim outside the president office and said, “Miss, if you’re looking for President Crawford, he’s not here now.”

“He’s not here?”

Kim glanced at the clock, and it was 10 a.m. Ben, a workaholic, actually hadn’t come to work at this point.

“Could you tell me where he is now, if you don’t mind.” Kim asked.

The female secretary shook her head apologetically, saying nothing.

A little upset, Kim took out her phone. Unfortunately, she didn’t have Ben’s number. But if she called Claudia and asked her about it, she wouldn’t tell her for sure.

Kim knew Claudia so well after all these years. No matter what happened, she carried all the burdens on her shoulders, unwilling to show her soft side to others.

Sometimes, it made one’s heart break to see her undertake everything despite herself.

Just when Kim didn’t know what to do, someone came.

“Hello, Miss Lewis!” The female secretary rose to her feet with courtesy and greeted Hanna with a nod.

Kim looked back and happened to meet Hanna’s eyes. The latter didn’t look away but responded her with a friendly smile.

The female secretary explained to Hanna why Kim was here and told her Ben hadn’t arrived yet. Hearing that, Hanna asked, “So, you’re Miss Moe, right? Why do you want to see Ben?”

Hanna said that in a very polite tone, and she was behaving herself decently, but Kim’s heart skipped a beat the moment she heard Hanna calling him “Ben”.

Kim felt uncomfortable.

However, she held herself back and replied faintly, “Well, I need to talk to him about something.”

The next moment, Kim was about to leave, but Hanna blurted out, “Is it urgent? Could you tell me about it?”

Kim stopped and looked back at Hanna sternly. “Tell you about it?”

The female secretary was aware that the two were in a delicate position, so she left knowingly.

When only the two of them were left, Hanna explained, “Please don’t take this the wrong way, Miss Moe. I just want to know if it’s something urgent, so that I can decide whether to give you Ben’s number or not.”

“Oh, I see!”

Kim studied Hanna’s face closely, and finally stopped at that pair of sparkling eyes of hers. It was true that Hanna looked gentle and sweet, but how come Kim felt that there was something... wrong with this girl?

“Never mind. If I want to get President Crawford’s number, I’d just ask Claudia about it! After all, she’s Mrs. Crawford!”
