Hearing that, Carla felt bad too. Letting out a sigh, she murmured, "I'm sorry. If only I called the police earlier, things might have turned out differently."
"Why didn't you call the police?" Alia agitatedly accused, "Why?"
"I wanted to report it when I witnessed the incident unfold. However, they spotted me and chased after me. Then, someone else appeared to stop them, so I thought it was over. I did not expect…"
"Someone came out to stop them?" Alia picked up an important point and grilled Carla about it, "Why did you think that it was over? Was it Harry who appeared?"
"No, it was Wenoma…" Carla explained, "I thought that since they were a family once, Wenoma would save Lola. Besides, it was illegal to hold someone forcefully, and Wenoma would not allow that to happen…""A family? How were they a family?" Alia wailed, "Didn't you know that Wenoma hates Lola? He probably stopped them as a show for you so you would not call the police. After you left, he must have continued to punish Lola."
"That can't be true, right?" Carla was shocked. "Why does he hate Lola? Even if they had disagreements, he wouldn't…"
"Forget it. I can't be bothered to explain it to you." Alia was livid. "Carla, you should pray for good luck. If you don't learn your lesson, someone as innocent as you will be bound to meet an unfortunate event!"
With that, Alia ended the call.
As Carla listened to the silence on the other end, she thought about Alia's words and felt horrible…
Does Wenoma really have an issue with her?
Did he plan it with Lena?
Thinking back, Lola was arrogant and defiant. She never respected others and probably offended Wenoma back then. As such, he held a grudge against her.
This was not impossible.
Well, recalling the past events, she had known Wenoma together with Harry from a young age. In her memory, Wenoma was someone who was upright and righteous.
Even after she fell from grace, he still cherished their friendship.
Carla was unwilling to believe that he was a bad person.
However, from another angle, he only treated her like this because it was mutual respect. As for Lola, she was never polite to him. Often, she would insult him the moment she saw him, and it destroyed his self-esteem.
As such, it was probable that Wenoma would do this.
With that thought, Carla felt a chill down her spine. She thought back on Alia's words and realized that it made sense.
If she continued to think so innocently, others might easily betray her.
While thinking about it, her phone rang again. This time, it was an unknown number.
After a pause, Carla answered. "Hello?"
"I am Lena." The voice on the other end sounded arrogant and stuck up.
"What do you want?" Carla answered in a very cold tone.
"Let's meet and talk, " Lena demanded.
"We don't have anything to talk about." Carla could not be bothered to continue and was about to cut the call.
"Think carefully about it, " Lena sneered. "I know all about your family's secret, including the letter your father left for my brother…"
Carla froze. "What do you mean?"
"Your father wrote about the person responsible for his tragic fate." Lena proudly said, "If you want to know more, you should come to Silver Diamond Restaurant now. Don't worry. I will not hurt you because I am a good citizen who abides by the law."
