Chapter 1332 The Unshakeable Gum
?
I nced at Ivanna and then towards the staircase, whispering, "Bryon left a testament for Beatrice before he died. It''s in my possession now."
"...Oh?" Ivanna was somewhat shocked, staring at me with wide eyes and a gaping mouth. "Does Beatrice know?"
"Of course not! I can''t possibly mention it to her now. I''ll have to wait for the right moment." I whispered back.
Ivanna asked, "Did you listen to its contents?"
I shook my head, "No. It''s private, how could I intrude? But I guess it can''t be something bad, otherwise the police wouldn''t have passed it on!" "What''s the use? He''s already done it. What was he thinking when heid hands on his daughter?" Ivanna was furious. "He..."
Just as Ivanna was about to say something, footsteps were heard from the staircase. Ivanna immediately held back what she was about to say. Beatrice had changed into a light green shirt and white pants, looking elegant as she descended the stairs.
Her formerly chubby cheeks had turned more angr, and her eyes appearedrger, though slightly pale.
"So beautiful!" Ivanna eximed in surprise. "You''re truly a beauty!"
Beatrice smiled bitterly, "Nonsense, I''m not beautiful at all! Let''s go."
We got into the Keller family''s car and headed straight to Jaxford Doors.
As soon as I started the car, my phone rang. I quickly took it out and nced at the screen, sighing, "Poppy is really persistent. I don''t know when she started taking an interest in me!"
Upon hearing my words, Ivanna asked curiously, "Who?"
"Poppy Quinn! That minor celebrity." I answered the call and said, "Hello?"
"Are you noting back, busy bee? Shall Ie to pick you up?" Poppy said over the phone.
I had to apologize with a smile, "Can''te back today. It was ast-minute decision. We have an opening ceremony here tomorrow."
"Oh? Noting back again?" Poppy seemed to bepletely despairing. "You''re really busy! What opening ceremony?"Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.
"The grand opening of Arkadia za in Gerby," I replied casually.
"Oh..." The reply from Poppy was apathetic as her voice faded. "Alright then, I''ll let you go. Goodbye."
After saying goodbye, we both hung up the phone. I raised an eyebrow and let out a sigh of relief, "She''s really persistent."
"These people are very clever. She''s

Beatrice sighed, "What has societye to? Everyone wants to get something for nothing."
Indeed, three people in her life were executed for wanting something for nothing, just yesterday.
"Those who stray from the right path will not have a happy ending!" Ivanna didn''t hesitate to speak her mind. "Poppy is shameless. A scheming woman. You should give herdess attention."

"Maybe once she hung up the phone, she will rush to Gerby to support your family''s ceremony!" Ivanna joked.
I didn''t take it to heart at all.
