All Chapters of Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

"Your date is here," Smith announced after a while."My date is here? He is an hour late." After waiting for about thirty minutes, Lila had been so irritated, and she gave Smith one of two options: either he drove her there by himself or he allowed her to go up and change her clothes. Smith had been able to convince her to stay, and at that time all he said was "Ten more minutes." He had been worried to the point that he decided to go out and make calls to figure out what was going on. Calling Oliver was a waste of time because he did not know anything. "I do not want to go with him; can you just drive me?" "Ms Lila I wish I could, but I am sure your brother is trying to do something with the situation here, and that is the reason he is asking you to come with him," Smith explained. "I know that he has a plan, but I do not care about his plan now. All I care about is showing up at the event venue; everyone must have been bored out of their minds waiting." Lila stood up and began t

"Hi, Ms. Carson." Lila looked around her to see who this strange man standing in front of her was. He stretched his hand for a handshake, and her eyebrow knitted in confusion. "Who are you?" "Oh my bad, I should have introduced myself first," Sam said, retracing his hand. "I am Sam Damien's best friend." "He has friends?" Lila was confused. "What is that supposed to mean?""I never expected you to have friends given your picky personality, but it seems like you do have friends, which is weird," Lila let out. "Oh my gosh, you are spot on. I wonder why I stayed friends with him all this while." "You must have been doing such hard work on your part.""It has truly been hard work." Lila stretched forth her hand to him this time, and he took it, shaking it gently before letting it go. "I am Lila," she said. "I know, but what I did not know was how fun and beautiful you are." "You think I am beautiful?" She gasped, acting as if none had told her anything.Damien opened his mouth to

Arietta entered the bathroom, and luckily for her since there were not a lot of people around yet, the bathroom was empty, but she checked all of the stalls just to be sure. She stood in front of the mirror, washed her hands, and retouched her face makeup before washing her hands and rubbing on her hand cream. "I cannot believe I am doing this; I do not know how to flirt; I cannot remember the last time I flirted," she groaned, staring at herself. She turned out of the bathroom and met Evangeline on her way out. "Are you not going to say hi?" Evangeline asked, entering the bathroom, taking up a tissue paper, and dabbing her lips. Arietta looked her up and down and wondered why she was so overdressed for an event like this. She was not a guest of honour and most likely would not have gotten an invite if Lila had not pulled any strings to get them invited. They would have gotten to know the same time that every other person was getting to know, but Lila said she needed to see the exp

"May I please have the attention of everyone, please?" Oliver said as the noise in the crowd fizzled out, the classical music that had been blasting in the speakers too had gone to the barest minimum. "Don't you think we are too forward? It seems like we are trying to climb the stage," Gasvin said in a whisper, leaning into Evangeline, who had dragged him to the front of the hall. "If we stood here, we would be the first people she sees, and we might even make connections with her faster," Evangeline replied. She could not categorize herself as a hardworking person, but anything she put her mind to, she was extremely good at it, and this was one of those things she was not ready to let go of. "Are you sure that is a good idea? Are you sure it does to make us desperate?" "I think Ms. Carson would appreciate us coming forward to honour her," Evangeline said. She seemed to have it all figured out. "I will only listen to you because it seems that you know exactly what it is that you

"What was that in there?" Evangeline asked as they stood by the door; the security men had dragged them out of the hall and closed the door in their faces. "What was what?""Are you trying to claim that you have done nothing wrong even though you acted like a big fop in there?" "A big fool? Evangeline, it seems like I've been cutting you a lot of slack; why in his name would you think of talking to me like that?" Gavin roared.Evangeline closed the gap between them and held him by the collar. "How else do you want me to speak to you? You acted like a fool and got us kicked out, and for what reason?" she screamed. "I want to hear your reason," she demanded. "How can Lila be the heir to the Carson fortune?" he asked, pushing her hand off his collar. "Think of it? Does it make any sense to you?" "Why do you accept what makes sense? You are too lazy to know what makes sense and what does not; you should lick the floor if they tell you to do so." "Are you calling me a dog?" "You have
