Chapter 171

"It has already been progressing." Helena smiled confidently.

"Will there be no mishaps?"

"This time, I changed my approach. Even if there are mistakes, it doesn't matter. Just wait and see."

In fact, Helena was inspired by Baron's family.

After Baron went green, she thought that if Dawson also went green, it would be absolutely amazing.

Based on Dawson's temper, if he had found out that his wife had a lover outside, it is likely that there would have been casualties.

By then, she would have the opportunity to make a big fuss.

The news of Sienna and Dawson having dinner was reported, but it wasn't a big deal to begin with.

But Sienna showed off and directly forwarded the news to Lorraine using her father's phone.

He deliberately annoyed her.

Supplementing with one more sentence:

"I thought Dawson would come to have dinner with me tonight, and bring you along."

"It seems I overestimated you, haha," Sienna laughed triumphantly.

Lorraine did not reply because she felt it was meaningless.

Dawson, still, discovered the news and furrowed his brow, asking, "Did you have someone take this news?"

"Dawson, I swear on my conscience, it was not me, you can investigate."

"I suspected it was the Reed family, they have been trying to mess with me lately," Sienna was terrified, it definitely wasn't her.

But it's not the Reed family either, the Reed family wouldn't dare to offend Dawson.

In fact, all of this came from Helena's hand, she just wanted to drive the Dawson couple apart.

"The Reed family did not have the courage," Dawson said with a cold expression.

"Dawson, it really wasn't me."

"Don't call me Dawson, this was the last warning."

"Alright, Mr. Mercer," Sienna also knew how to be tactful.

"That's it then, I'm leaving first."

"Didn't you finish eating before leaving?"

"I won't eat, but I have bought it, so you two can eat."

Dawson was not in the mood to have dinner with the Gregory family, getting the land was enough for him.

The Gregory family was provided with a lawyer, which was considered fair to them.

He called the company as soon as he left, saying, "Quickly delete this damn news for me."

"Okay, Mr. Mercer."

"What did you eat? I have to call and teach you."

Dawson scolded the public relations department.

The public relations manager was also feeling aggrieved, thinking to himself, "This news didn't even cause any ripples."

It has only been a little over ten minutes now, has Mr. Mercer swollen?

In fact, Dawson was afraid that someone would see him angry.

Even on his way back, he was still waiting for Lorraine to send a Line message or call to question.

But unfortunately, the woman showed no sign of movement.

The thought that she might not care made Dawson even more upset in his heart.

After thinking it over, I finally took the initiative to send a message.

Dawson: Did you see the news?

Lorraine: What news?

Dawson: Look at the local news, front page headline.

Lorraine: I saw it. The leader announced the plan for next year. The city will have three new five-star hotels, three libraries, and two large theaters.

Dawson: ...

Lorraine: You wanted to bid for a five-star hotel?

Dawson: If you didn't see it, forget about it.

Lorraine put down her phone and couldn't help but raise her lips.

She actually knew what he was saying, but she deliberately pretended to be ignorant.

After a while, when Dawson arrived home, he didn't hurry to get off the car.

He thought about it and decided to send a Line, even though it seemed a bit strange.

Dawson: Whether you believe it or not, it is true that you are the only woman for me. I gave you my first kiss, so if you don't take responsibility, it truly is unforgivable.

Lorraine: Mr. Mercer, do you want to take a look at what you were saying?

Dawson: Don't play dumb, you knew.

Lorraine remained silent, but that feeling inside her was indeed obedient, and her cheeks even became slightly flushed.

Dawson: Grandma really missed you, come back and visit when you have time.

Lorraine: Okay.

Dawson: Are you available for the dinner tomorrow night, Mrs. Mercer?

Dawson was the most polite and patient he had ever been.

Lorraine was also one to call it quits when things were going well. If you respected me, then I would respect you.

Lorraine: Yes.

Dawson: Where did I pick you up?

Lorraine: You send me the address, I took a taxi and went there.

Dawson: Sure, I will have someone deliver the dress to you tomorrow.

Lorraine: Okay.

Dawson felt even happier when he saw that Lorraine did not refuse the dress.

Dawson: Did you use any jewelry?

Lorraine: No need, right? It's just a dinner party, not a jewelry exhibition.

Dawson: Well.

Lorraine put down her phone and was about to go to sleep, when unexpectedly, a call came in.

Lorraine: Hello?

Leila: Lola, it's me.

Lorraine: Well, I knew, I made a note for you.

Wooden toy: Ah, so boring, I really want to go back.

Lorraine: Did you drink alcohol?

Leila: You knew about this?

Lorraine: With a slight intoxication.

Leila: No way, are you a fortune teller?

Lorraine: Are you not in a good mood?

Leila: Well, when I wasn't at home, I wanted to go home, but when I came back, I wanted to leave home again. Am I very contradictory?

Lorraine: What happened? Did you have a conflict with your family?

Leila: It's not a big deal, really. There has always been conflicts between my family and me, even before this incident. Anyway, I feel like it doesn't matter whether I am a part of this family or not.

Lorraine suddenly didn't know what to say, because she had no family. After her grandfather passed away, she was all alone.

Leila: How have you been lately? Has your scumbag husband been picking you up as usual?

Lorraine: No, I was planning to stay a few more days.

Leila: Just live for a year, you can live comfortably.

Lorraine: You drank alcohol, so go to bed early.

Leila: Well, maybe I will fly back to see you tomorrow.

Lorraine: Okay.

Leila: Lola, sometimes I wanted to kill them all.

Lorraine's heart shook as she listened.

Lorraine: You were calm, Leila.

If someone else said this, Lorraine wouldn't even bother persuading, after all, it's not true.

But Leila was different...

Lorraine knew that she had this ability, absolutely had the strength.

Leila: Haha, it's okay, I didn't know, at least not now, go to sleep.

The next day.

Lorraine was still busy at Rhett's clinic.

Around noon, Rhett reminded, "Shouldn't we cook the rice?"

"Well, I'll go get it. Can we have cabbage and tofu for dinner today?" Lorraine asked.

"Whatever you want, it's fine."

Lorraine got up and was about to wash the rice when she saw two women coming in.

A young girl was supporting a middle-aged woman in her fifties.

"Rhett, take a look at my mother, please."

"What's wrong?" Rhett looked up.

The middle-aged woman could be seen, muttering to herself, "How come I only have feet but no toes?"

"Hmm? You said, where did my toes go?"

"I don't have toes anymore, can you guys tell me what's going on?" the middle-aged woman muttered anxiously.

Lorraine subconsciously looked down at the middle-aged woman's feet.

Her daughter helped her sit on the chair and then took off her shoes and socks for her. To her surprise, not a single toe was missing.

It was perfect, but the woman kept complaining that she didn't have toes.

"Wasn't that the toe?" Rhett impatiently asked.

"Rhett, that's how it is. My mom has been nagging all morning since she woke up like this. We tried talking to her, but she wouldn't listen. It scared us to death. We really don't know what to do, so we came to ask you."

"Did your mother have a history of mental illness?" Lorraine asked.

The girl shook her head, "No, my mom is mentally fine, and there is no history of mental illness in my family. Everything has been fine all along. It was just yesterday when she went to a nearby forest, and when she came back, it was like this."

"The forest?" Lorraine grasped the key point.

Rhett also noticed and approached the middle-aged woman to strike up a conversation.

This was not a big deal, but Rhett's face changed drastically.

"How could this happen?"

"What's wrong? Rhett?" The young girl's face turned pale.

"Lorraine, go and get my needle."

"Alright, Rhett, the set of needles that you often use, right?"

"No, the one inside - the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles."

Lorraine was dumbfounded after listening, she thought she had misheard.

"Go quickly, don't just stand there foolishly."

Lorraine took a deep breath, if she remembered correctly, these were the thirteen needles of the ghost gate that her grandfather had mentioned. Her grandfather also said that there were not many people who knew how to use this thing anymore, and if used improperly, it could be fatal.
