I scrutinized her carefully. Honestly, she was beautiful, but there was a hint of naivety about her. She had a subtleck of sharpness that I couldn''t quite put my finger on.
Her answer was affirmative. I gestured and said, "Let''s go to my office."
Carol quickly brought us another ss of water when she saw us return.
I gestured for the girl to sit while I took a seat on the sofa.
I looked at her and asked, "Why are you here to see me?"
"Ms. Chloe, Ms. Trinity asked me to tell you that she and Ms. Ste are visiting the Av family," she informed me.
"The Av family? What else did she say?" I asked urgently. "When did she tell you that, and why didn''t she call me directly?"
"She didn''t say anything else, and she couldn''t call you directly," the girl replied calmly. "If there''s any new information, I''lle see you. Also, she gave you this as evidence for the trial." As she finished speaking, she handed me a tiny USB sh drive.
I quickly took it,ying it in my palm to take a look.
"I''ll take my leave now, Ms. Chloe," she said, standing up.
"Wait!" I quickly stopped her.
She stood still, looking at me attentively.
I nced at the USB drive in my hand. "When did she give you this?"
I asked in a different way because I had a hunch that Trinity had arranged this, and she wouldn''t disclose much information to anyone.
She nced at my hand holding the USB drive. "She told me to give this to you when the trial was approaching. She also said that I could testify in court if needed."
"Is she safe now?" I asked again.
She shook her head. "I really don''t know."
"Well, if I need to reach you, how can I find you?" I asked.
"You can find me at the Huffman residence."
"You''re staying there?" I was a little surprised since I hadn''t seen her thest few times I visited.
Just as I was in a daze, she said, "Ms. Chloe, I need to head back as soon as possible. I''ve been out for too long, and I''m afraid something might happen."
She seemed insistent on leaving. I asked, "What''s your name?"This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
She looked at me, contemting for a moment before saying, "You can call me L."
"Okay, then I''ll see you out," I said, standing up to escort her to the elevator. She gave me a slight smile as the elevator doors closed.
I stood there in a daze, muttering to myself, "L, huh?"
Trinity was visiting the Av family?
And she was with Ste, which I hadn''t expected.
What about Jared?
Since Jared had gone to find Trinity, he hadn''t returned, and there was no news from him either. But she was visiting the Av family?
Could Jared have also gone to Yare?
Why did Trinity say she couldn''t call me? What was she doing in Yare?
I nced at the USB drive in my hand, then turned back to my office. I quickly switched on myputer and inserted it. Inside were several folders.
I proceeded to open each one, and the contents left me stunned.
The folders contained substantial
evidence against Liora, including her involvement in Kennedy''s death, her orchestration of the car ident against me, the explosion in
Bourdamun, and her attempt to kill
someone to cover up the truth.
And the person she wanted to kill was L!
I was totally speechless. The list of charges against her was extensive, and it implicated many prominent figures.
So that was why she had only given me this USB drive now.
I couldn''t help but think of how taken aback Liora had been when she saw L at the banquet. She had seemed absent-minded throughout the night as well.
I didn''t dare to look at the other
folders. I quickly closed the tabs and
ejected the sh drive. Then, I
slipped it in my bag and left my
office to see As.
At times like these, he would always give me the best advice.
