Avenger's coming back

Chapter 148 An Unexpected Finding

"Lucia, mind your manner." He could not help asking.

"Manner?" Lucia looked at Dillon and in a doubt, asked, "We are at home, not outside. Can't I complain a little at own home?"

"I don't mean that. But you went too far tonight." Said Dillon with a frown.

"Have I used the word improper?" Lucia laughed and said, "How dare you say that? Can't I even say the word 'bitch'? What? Are you mad at me? Dillon, don't tell me that you are still thinking about the bitch and her daughter!"

"What are you talking about?" Dillon interrupted her and said, "Lucia, don't guess randomly."

"Am I making a wild guess?" She sneered, "If you don't think them, why do you defend them? I just called them bitch. Dillon, if you really want to keep them, I will leave the Qiao family with Eden and Claire!"

Seeing her so tough attitude, he softened his tone at once, "I really don't care about them. I just think, as Mrs. Qiao, these indecent words should not come out of your mouth."

"Humph!" Lucia glared at him and then stopped. She said in a soft tone, "It's summer vacation now and Eden can go to work every day. You should teach Eden well. As the heir of the company, he should not only know how to manage the company, but also how to deal with various customers, so as to create the biggest profit for the company."

"I know." Dillon nodded.

"I wouldn't have gone to the Qiao family's house with you today if I knew it earlier. Your father blamed it in front of them. It's so embarrassing." Lucia complained once again and pulled the topic back. "Shame

on you! As a father, you should feel ashamed to lose to your own daughter. If that bitch continued to develop like this, the company will fall into her hands."

"I'm tired. I'm going upstairs to wash and have a rest." The words were so annoying for Dillon that he turned around and went upstairs.

He would have said more if in the past. But he was not in the mood. He was also annoyed by what happened today. He couldn't stand her keeping complaining.

Seeing that Dillon turned around and went upstairs, Lucia pressed her lips together and when she saw his back disappear at the foot of the stairs, a hint of hatred showed in her eyes.

Today, she went to the old house of the Qiao family. She had intended to gradually regain her face in front of Joe, but she didn't expect that she would be scolded as soon as she went there. What's more, Kerr and Tina had sent the invitation, which humiliated her.

Over the years, she made great efforts to move into the Qiao family and won the title of Mrs. Qiao. She planned to bully Tina, but Tina found a man who was better than her. Wasn't it a slap on her face?

Tina…

After getting the final report of the camp by the end of the semester, they set foot in the winter vacation mode. Lily followed Joe to work in the Qiao company every day, and Eric was also called to work in the company by Wayne every day.

However, the difference was that Eric not only had to deal with some matters of the Gu company, but also the matters of Ellison from time to time, both public affairs and private affairs.

Just like now.

In the cafe, Eric looked at the person sitting opposite to him calmly. "Hailey, I really don't know where he is."

"Aren't you good friends? How could you not know where the idiot is?" Apparently, Hailey didn't believe him. She looked at Eric in disbelieve.

Eric really wanted to touch his forehead. If he knew where Ellison went, he would have told her directly. How could he talk with her here for half an hour!

"He won't tell me everything." He said.

"Eric, although you are his brother and you have saved him and you are his benefactor, I am not afraid to offend you if I know that you collude with him to deceive me." Hailey's tone began to become bad.

She was short tempered. Half an hour's time had already crossed her tolerance line.

Seeing her like this, Eric suddenly laughed. He began to like her forthright personality.

"Let me ask you a question." Looking at Hailey, he suddenly changed the topic. "You like him, don't you?"

An unnatural look flashed across Hailey's face. "Who, who likes that idiot?"

"Really?" Eric raised his voice a little higher and said, "Since you don't like him, don't control him so hard. He is a person who like to have a relationship with many women. Since you came back and lived with him, he never dare to provoke those women. You know, men can't control himself on certain things."

"So he went to find those women behind my back?" Hailey raised her voice and asked, "Tell me, where is he?"

"I really don't know where he went." Eric emphasized again and again, and then his tone changed, "But, it's possible that he went to other women."

To his relief, he added some oil and said some bad to Ellison, which could instantly dispel the gloom in his heart.

He had been so busy these days. Two days ago, he called and said that he needed his help to take care of the company. After that, he just disappeared for some reason without saying where to go!

Fortunately, only Hailey came to him today. If another woman had come to him, the first thing he would do after he appeared must have taught him a lesson!

"How dare he!" "This idiot is getting bolder. He dared to run away from home. Don't let me find fault with him, or he'll be doomed!"

Eric smiled speechlessly. He didn't know much about Hailey, but he knew that she was a smart woman and was very clever. Or she wouldn't have been able to be a detective. However, because of Ellison, she became clumsy, and clearly confirmed that the IQ of a woman who fell in love was zero.

"Well, it's time to teach him a good lesson." He responded. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"He became bad that stay alone in our country these years. I'll change my name if I can't teach you well." Said Hailey hatefully. But did not know if she was talking to Eric or to herself.

Because her eyes were not fixed on Eric, but on the cup of coffee in front of her.

Eric was amused to see her like this, but he didn't laugh out of politeness. She was really cute in this way.

Looking away from her, Eric picked up the coffee in front of him. He was about to drink when he glimpsed a familiar figure outside the window.

He stopped drinking coffee and looked out of the window.

He saw that Richard was talking with a strange woman, and the woman was holding his arm tightly. They seemed to be in an intimate relationship.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and put down the coffee cup in his hand. Then he stared at them, a strange feeling rose in his heart.

Hailey realized that he was looking at the direction, and she also saw what was happening outside. Her eyes flashed a cunning light.

"How about making a deal with me?" She turned to Eric with a cunning smile on her face.

"What?" He then turned to look at Hailey, but didn't get her point.

"If you can find out where Ellison is, I will investigate the background of the two people in detail." She expressed her purpose simply.

"You think I agree?" Eric asked.

"Yes, you will." Hailey answered confidently.

"Really?"

"You know the man outside, and that man is your father, but he is now being dragged by a strange woman. And the relationship between them is obviously unusual."

Hearing her words, Eric raised his eyebrows invisibly, "Are you so sure about it?"

"Don't forget that I'm a detective." On the contrary, Emily looked very wise and said, "When you looked at the man and the woman, your eyes were totally different. And the time you looked at them was also

different. Besides, you looked like the man. However, your features are much more beautiful than him."

In the end, she even praised him.

Eric fell silent and looked out of the window again. Richard was still talking with the strange woman. They were in a secret place and people walking on the street were not able to notice, but they were facing this coffee shop.

Seeing that he did not respond, Hailey continued, "Don't look at them any more, you can't figure out their relationship. What's the matter? Will you make the deal or not?"

Now he seemed to have made up his mind. Instead of seeing what was going on outside, he withdrew his sight, looked into Hailey's eyes and said, "Okay."

"Deal." Hailey thumped the table happily.

"Deal."

"Tomorrow we can exchange. Tell me where the idiot is, and I'll show you everything I know." Hailey quickly made an arrangement, and then added, "Of course, if you don't tell me the location of the idiot, I won't tell you either."

"Yes." Answered Eric absent mindedly.

He looked calm, but the hand holding the coffee cup betrayed his indifference. Maybe he was nervous or afraid, his hand was slightly trembling.

In his impression, Richard had always loved Angela and cared about her very much. They had never argued with each other since he was children. But now, when he saw Richard dragged another woman, he felt very uncomfortable.
