Chapter 191 The Vinegar Jar Overturned
“Right, right, that’s correct!”
Lyla nodded in agreement and then asked, “But will daddy believe it?”
“Based on the current situation, he should believe it. Otherwise, daddy wouldn’t have left so quickly.”
Lucas pondered for a moment and came to a conclusion.
Lyla nodded and replied, “That’s good, let’s quickly tell mommy about this…”
Lucas nodded and quickly sent a message to Alta.
“The crisis is over, mommy doesn’t need to worry!”
Alta, who was at home, received the message from Lucas. She finally breathed a sigh of relief!
However, after this incident, she also realized that continuing this matter was indeed very dangerous.
She couldn’t imagine how furious Jason would be when he discovered the truth.
It seemed that she needed to come up with a solution quickly to resolve this matter…
However, Alta had no idea that Jason hadn’t dismissed his doubts at all.
He himself had a deep understanding of calligraphy. He could easily discern the issues with the brushstrokes displayed in the font.
Therefore, he became more convinced that the handwriting at Alta’s house belonged to Nina!
But…
Alta had only seen Nina twice.
Once at the hospital and once at the company.
Nina didn’t have any opportunity to write for Alta.
So, the only possibility was… Alta might have secretly had contact with the children without his knowledge…
The moment this thought crossed his mind, Jason’s expression darkened.
Could it be that Alta already knew the identity of the two children? This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
But if she did, why didn’t she explain it to him?
Or perhaps, she had some ulterior motive?
Recalling the recent period, Alta’s intentional or unintentional closeness. The intimacy she displayed, his expression turned grim.
In the driver’s seat, Eaton felt the low pressure emanating from Mr. Hill. He became somewhat uneasy, his palms sweating.
He had no idea what had suddenly happened to Mr. Hill…
Just as Eaton hesitated whether to ask or not, Jason suddenly gave an order.
“During this period, assign a few people to keep an eye on Alta. I want to know her every move!”
Eaton was surprised to hear this and quickly asked, “Mr. Hill, what’s wrong?”
Weren’t the two of them getting along well recently?
What is happening now?
However, Jason had no intention of telling him. His tone was cold and with a touch of iciness as he said, “It’s nothing, just keep an eye on her as I told you, don’t ask so many questions.”
“Yes, Mr. Hill, I’ll contact the people right away!”
Eaton saw that he had no intention of explaining. So, he obediently followed the order and refrained from asking further questions.
Due to this matter, Alta hadn’t been to the Hill Group in the past few days.
One reason was that the optimized formula data had been sent to Lotus through email. The personnel from the Research Lab 2 would assist. Hence, she didn’t have to rely on herself alone.
Another reason was that the perfume being developed in her own ZL Company had reached a critical stage. She couldn’t leave at the moment.
Lastly, of course, it was to avoid Jason.
Only by not having any contact with him could she avoid any mishaps.
She hoped that with time, Jason’s doubts would dissipate.
In the evening, after Alta finished work, she prepared to drive to pick up the children.
But halfway there, she keenly noticed that it seemed like a car was following her…
At first, Alta thought she was overthinking and paid closer attention for a while.
After a while, she was almost certain that she wasn’t mistaken.
Alta suddenly felt uneasy.
She didn’t know the identity of the person or their intentions. Even if she called the police, she didn’t have concrete evidence.
They could claim it was a coincidence.
Feeling restless, Alta thought for a moment and finally decided to make a phone call.
Soon, the other party answered.
“Why did you suddenly think of calling me?”
John’s laughter came through the phone.
Alta didn’t have the mood to kidding. She quickly said to John, “John, I think I’m being followed, but I don’t know who they are or what their intentions are.”
“Where are you right now?”
John’s tone became serious, carrying a hint of coldness.
Alta replied, “I’m heading in the direction of the kindergarten, but I haven’t arrived yet. I’m about to reach Orchard Street.”
“Are you driving by yourself?”
John asked with a warm and deep tone.
Alta nodded and replied, “Yes.”
John reassured her, “Alright, don’t panic. I’ll bring people over immediately… When you arrive at Orchard Street, take a couple of rounds in the area, and we’ll meet up then.”
His words made Alta feel slightly relieved.
“Okay, thank you.”
John on the other side said seriously, “You don’t need to be so polite with me.”
After ending the call, Alta slowed down her car. She followed John’s instructions, taking a couple of rounds in the nearby area.
This place was originally a bustling district with many people and cars, so she gradually became less afraid.
After about half an hour, John finally arrived, so she called him.
Alta parked the car according to instructions.
Perhaps John’s presence made the other party wary. As the car on their tail quickly stopped following and changed direction, leaving directly.
Alta observed the situation but couldn’t completely put her mind at ease.
John narrowed his eyes and remembered the license plate number.
He sensed Alta’s unease and reassured her. He said, “Don’t be afraid, I will help you find out the truth.”
“Okay. ”
Alta absentmindedly nodded and went to pick up the children.
On the way back, John continued to accompany her.
Upon reaching Sprig Villa, Alta managed to relax her guard slightly.
She thanked John again, saying, “I’ll treat you to a meal sometime.”
“Sure, I’ll be waiting,” John readily agreed and didn’t linger, leaving shortly after.
Before leaving, he arranged for a few people to keep an eye on Alta’s house, to prevent any unexpected incidents.
On the other hand,
Just as Jason finished work, Eaton came to report, “Mr. Hill, the subordinates we sent to monitor Ms. Rogers reported that their presence seems to have been exposed. Not only that, Ms. Rogers also sought help from John. Now, there are people from John guarding Spring Villa.”
Upon hearing this, Jason’s gaze turned cold.
“John?”
His tone carried displeasure, saying, “She’s good at finding other men when something happens!”
Eaton didn’t know how to respond for a moment. But he could sense a strong scent of vinegar in the air, like a large vat of it had been overturned!
