Chapter 143
Edmend Zhou, a childhood playmate, didn’t know that he had been targeted.
With the access card given by Anna Stuat, she came to the door of the apartment she rented before with something.
Anna Stuat had contacted the security guards of the community in advance, so Edmend could come in smoothly.
The apartment was clean and tidy, and the furniture and facilities were all placed neatly. Although the whole room had not been lived for a period of time, it was almost spotless.
Although Anna Stuat lived in the Andrew family, he still asked Aunt Li to clean the apartment regularly.
Aunt Li had just come to clean it yesterday.
Edmend Zhou went into the bedroom with his luggage.
All the personal necessities of Anna Stuat had been moved away, and the rest of the sheets and quilts here were brand new.
After tidying up, he sat on the edge of the bed to rest. His hand inadvertently fumbled through the crack of the bed and found that it was a photo.
The photo was taken many years ago and its surface was badly damaged.
“Anna Stuat.” Edmend Zhou repeated the name in a low voice.
In the photo in his hand were two young women, holding a smiling little girl in their arms. The two looked happy.
The girl was the young Anna Stuat.
The girl in the picture gradually overlapped the face of her childhood sister from her memory.
He recalled the scene that Anna Stuat followed him and called him brother Edmend Zhou a long time ago.
Just as Edmend Zhou was immersed in his long memory, his phone, which was thrown aside, suddenly rang, waking him up.
Edmend turned around and saw the number on the screen. His face turned pale.
After a long time, he reached out his trembling hand to touch the phone.
Perhaps because the phone had been used for a long time, the touch screen was not very sensitive. It was connected after several times.
“Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?” an extremely impatient voice came from the other end of the line.
Edmend Zhou pursed his lips and said, “sorry, I didn’t notice it just now.”
Selina snorted.
According to his temper, he would not let it go, but thinking of the main purpose of call, she restrained her temper.
“How is it going? Is everything going well?”
Edmend Zhou was silent. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.
However, Selina misunderstood him. She frowned and asked, “did you fail? What did you do?”
Then she couldn’t help but murmur to herself, “that bitch really has a cold-blooded man. Her only good friend many years ago was…”
In fact, Edmend Zhou couldn’t bear to hear such words.
“I didn’t fail,” he said in a low voice.
Selina’s face lit up with joy. “So you’ve succeeded? You’ve moved into her house?”
“Yes,” Edmend Zhou nodded.
However, before Selina could be happy, Edmend Zhou added, “… Miss Stuat rented an apartment for me, but she doesn’t live here herself.”
he had planned to call Anna Stuat by her first name.
But it suddenly occurred to him that his status was totally different from that of Anna Stuat.
Besides, was he really qualified to call her name now?
“What?” Selina raised her voice.
She walked back and forth restlessly on the phone.
After a while, she thought of something and asked, “where does she live now?”
Edmend Zhou fell silent again.
When she had talked with Anna Stuat before, she had accidentally known that Anna Stuat was now living in the Andrew family.
But was he really going to tell Selina?
He had seen how crazy and vicious this woman was
Unconsciously, he clenched the photo in his hand. After a while, Edmend gritted his teeth and said, “I don’t know yet.”
Selina was unhappy for a while.
She scolded Edmend Zhou over the phone.
” why don’t you go and investigate it now? I asked you to do something for me. Is it a free lunch? What a waste!”
Edmend Zhou’s eyes turned red.
Rubbish.
He had heard this word for many years.
In fact, he was not like this when he was young.
When he was young, he had been able to become friends with Anna Stuat. In addition to helping Anna Stuat all the time, in fact, they had similar interests.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
In that backward village, he and Anna Stuat were both top students.
He was even better than Anna Stuat in some aspects.
However, something unexpected happened. On the year of high school entrance examination, his mother died and his father married another woman.
His stepmother was very bad to him, and after that, he had experienced a lot of things, so that when he was in the middle school examination, he was not able to go to the high school in the town.
Since his stepmother was there, his father would not allow him to study again. He could only go out to work at such a young age.
Since then, he had embarked on a completely different path in his life.
Edmend Zhou slowly closed his eyes.
Selina cursed on the other end of the phone for a while before she finally stopped.
She suddenly thought of something and asked suspiciously, “are you lying to me?”
Edmend Zhou’s heart skipped a beat, and he sat up straight subconsciously, his body and back tightened.
He was very nervous. Even though he had tried very hard to control his emotions, his voice was still trembling uncontrollably when he spoke.
“How could it be?”
In fact, Selina didn’t know much about him, so she didn’t sense anything wrong with his tone.
He just snorted, “never. Don’t forget who you are now.”
“He is no longer your childhood playmate. Now he is a famous lady in the capital. The gap between you two is like clouds in the sky and mud on the ground.”
Edmend Zhou remained silent.
Selina continued, “I’m giving you a piece of advice. Don’t always think about the trifles in your childhood. The most important thing is to take care of yourself.”
Then he hung up the phone.
Staring at the black screen, Edmend Zhou sighed.
Two years ago, he was tricked by the boss of the factory he worked for and inexplicably paid a lot of debts. The reason why he had been in such a mess these years was that he had been avoiding debts.
Half a month ago, Selina came to him with the people from the Stuat family.
He said that if he could help solve these debt problems, he would no longer have to hide and live in the sunshine.
Of course, the premise was that he had to help Selina do something.
