After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 286 Before Desmond answered the phone, he told Brynn that it was Gabriel calling.

"No, my dad heard that I was out with you and told us to have a good time," Desmond said with a smile.

Brynn joked with a smile, "Your dad really didn't rush you? Then why do you look so worried? Could it be that you don't want to hear my friends sing?" The karaoke room was quite crowded, filled with Brynn's good friends and a few of their boyfriends.

Brynn saw that Desmond was doing well and decided to introduce him to her friends on the spot.

After all, she was one hundred percent sure about being with Desmond, so introducing him to her close friends early on wasn't a bad idea.

However, two of her friends didn't sing very well, which is why she asked.

"How could that be?" Desmond replied with a smile, "Actually, it's not that bad." As they were chatting happily, one of Brynn's friends suddenly handed them a microphone and said, "Love song, love song, you two haven't sung yet, how about a duet?" Brynn didn't want to spoil the fun, so she took the microphone and looked at Desmond. Desmond also took another microphone.

While the two were singing a duet, Clara hung up the phone but felt uneasy.

She couldn't sit still at the hospital for long.

She wanted to find Desmond but didn't know where he was, so she called him again.

Desmond had left his phone in the restroom, and one of Brynn's friends saw the phone light up and answered it casually.

"Who is it?" She made a gesture, and the music in the room stopped.

At the stime, Clara's voice cthrough the receiver. "Who are you? Why are you answering Desmond's phone?" Clara's voice was so distinctive that Brynn recognized it immediately and took the phone, asking, "Why are you still bothering Desmond? Didn't we make it clear last time? Stop bothering him." "It's you!" Clara remembered who Brynn was. "Why do you have Desmond's phone?" "Desmond is datingnow. If you know what's good for you, don't disturb us, or don't blme for causing trouble." With that, she hung up the phone.

After hanging up, Brynn thought for a moment, deleted the call record, and blocked Clara's number after seeing that all recent calls were from Clara to Desmond.

If it had been earlier in their relationship, she might have confronted Desmond about it.

But given their current progress, they would be engaged soon, and there was no need to make a big deal out of a woman who was one-sidedly pestering Desmond.

After being hung up on, Clara was so distraught that she fell onto the steps in a daze.

Just as she got up, a sack was thrown over her head, and when she tried to scream for help, her mouth and nose were covered.

A pungent smell hit her, and Clara passed out.

Oliver had called Laura countless times in just one day but couldn't get through. He checked Laura's flight and found that she hadn't boarded the plane.

His first reaction was that he had been deceived. Furious, he searched for Laura but to no avail, so he called the police.

He reported theft and assault, claiming that Laura had stolen his bank card and was responsible for turning Elodie into a vegetative state.

The police quickly started an investigation and found from airport surveillance that Oliver had driven Laura to the airport.

"She threatenedto take her to the airport. I had no choice. I know I was wrong now," Oliver said, regretting that he hadn't anticipated the police would find this out.

If he had known, he wouldn't have called the police! The officer questioning Oliver noted his statement and asked, "Can you explain your relationship with Laura?" "I, I..." Oliver stammered, afraid to lie, "I haven't known her long. She was after my money, trying to seduceand ruin my family. In the end, she even attacked my wife." "Is that so? Our investigation shows that she was your mistress, and you were supporting her," the officer exposed his true nature.

Oliver argued, "I was deceived by her. I didn't break the law. I'm a victim too. Why are you asking about this?" "Since you claim Laura was the one who assaulted someone, please recall the details of that day carefully." Oliver began to fabricate a story, putting all the blon Laura.

After finishing, he was sweating profusely.

Even though he thought his story was solid, he couldn't help but worry about being found out.

"Do you remember any other details? Like which hand Laura used to strike?" "How would I know which hand!?" Oliver's eyes darted around, and he felt increasingly anxious.

"Think about it. It's okay if you remember wrong." "Right hand. I was standing to her left, and she used her right hand to push my wife." Oliver recalled the scene, swapped his and Laura's positions, and repeated it.

After speaking, he still felt uneasy and asked quietly, "Can I withdraw the report now? I'll settle it privately with her, so you don't have to bother."

"No," the officer said sternly, closing his notebook and standing up. "We now suspect that you who assthat were the te one e who assaulted her. If the final result confirms this, you'll face not only assault charges but also false reporting charges."

"What? It wasn't me! It was Laura! How could I hit my wife?" Oliver, m panicked, chasing after the officer and pleading, "Please letwithdraw the report. I won't pursue it anymore." "You can leave now. We'll do our best to find Laura. If you're innocent, we won't wrong you. Just wait for our updates." Oliver was escorted out of the police station, but his nerves remained tense.

He deeply regretted calling the police, but it was too late. Even if he withdrew the report, it wouldn't matter.

Since the police suspected him, he had to find a way to clear their doubts.

But with Laura nowhere to be found, he was growing increasingly resentful of her.

The next morning, at Golden Crest Estates.

Katniss woke up to see Maximilian sitting beside her and rubbed her eyes to ask the time.

"What tis it?" "Eight-thirty." "Huh? Why haven't you gone to the office yet?" Katniss quickly sat up, looking at him with puzzled eyes. "Today, I'm really taking a break to spend twith you." Because of yesterday's regrets, Maximilian had left Emiin charge at the office, ordering that even in an emergency, he was not to be disturbed.
