He was now a completely different person from before. His aura had become extremely cold and terrifying. The coldness emitted from his body could send a chill down people's spines.
"Send her home."
Derek didn't even look at Lia. He ordered coldly and went straight to the Maybach in front.
Lia was confused.
What did he mean?
Just a moment ago, Derek was very cheerful, laughing at her ear, but in the blink of an eye, he seemed to not know her.
Did Derek have multiple personalities?
"Miss, may I know where you live?" the tall and sturdy man asked Lia respectfully.
"No need. I'll take a taxi myself." Lia refused politely.
"That won't do. Please don't make things difficult for me! My boss is a man of his word. If I can't send you home safely tonight, I may die!" The man looked serious.
Lia was lost for words.
She thought, anyway, Derek will not harm me. It is really dangerous near Bar Street at night. It is indeed not safe for me to take a taxi alone. In the end, Lia decided to get in the car.
It was already late at night when she returned to the Elinor's house.
The housekeeper, Cali, saw Lia come back wet and was shocked. She immediately took a bath towel and carefully helped Lia dry her hair. Cali angrily muttered, "Aubrey is so bad. She brought you out in the middle of the night, and she even asked you to come back by yourself. Can she afford to take responsibility for anything that happens?"
Looking at Cali, who was worried about her, Lia suddenly felt a lump in her throat.
Cali had worked in the Elinor family for more than thirty years, and she was the one who raised Lia.
Aubrey had always pretended to be obedient since she was a child. There was no one around Lia who said Aubrey was bad, except Cali.
In Lia's previous life, Cali would often secretly remind her that Aubrey was not a good person and told her to stay away from Aubrey.
However, Lia didn't appreciate it and was often angry with Cali because of what she had said.
Aubrey asked Lia out today. Cali was aware of it. After the nude photo incident, Cali insisted on telling Luka about it, and then Cali went missing.
After that, for many years, Lia blamed Cali for abandoning her at the most difficult time. Only until Lia died tragically in her previous life, she realized that Cali was killed by Aubrey because Cali refused to betray her!
"Lia, I know that you don't like to hear this, but I still have to warn you. Aubrey is not as good as she looks. She has bad intentions..." Cali said in a deep voice.
"I know. I will listen to you in the future and keep a distance from her," Lia said and gave Cali a gentle hug.
"Really?" Cali did not expect Lia to react this way. She was a little confused.
In the past, every time she said this to Lia, Lia was angry.
"Cali, I haven't had your dessert for a long time. Tomorrow is my birthday. Can you make it for me?"
"You are already eighteen years old. Why are you still acting like a spoiled child?" Although Cali said this, she still doted on Lia. "Alright. Even if you want the stars in the sky, I will help you pick them!"
The familiar home, the familiar people, everything in front of Lia made her feel safe. After six years of panic, she finally had a moment of peace.
Lia thought, I should be smarter this time.
Next, I must protect the people who love me and everything that I love!
...
That night, Lia's parents and Luka were not at home because of the company issue.
Cali drew a bath and Lia took a hot bath comfortably to dispel the coldness around her.
Back in the bedroom, Lia lay on the warm and comfortable bed, still feeling somewhat unreal.
In the three years Lia was locked up in the madhouse, she slept on the wet, cold, and dirty ground every day. She had long forgotten how it felt to sleep in the bed.
At this time, the phone buzzed twice.
"I've sent it to your e-mail. You don't need to pay the balance. We are friends. This girl is pretty. We had fun with her. The balance will be offset. If you have such a thing next time, feel free to call me!"
Lia looked at these words, and her stomach churned. She felt extremely disgusted.
Then she opened her email.
The heavy rain poured down. In the dirty back alley of the bar, the photos that had turned into videos, and the person surrounded by men had changed from her to Aubrey.
The fake also became real.
Lia sneered and threw the phone aside.
On the bedside table, there was a photo of her and Aubrey. In the photo, Aubrey smiled innocently and looked harmless. Lia glanced at it coldly and put the photo frame down.
Lia thought, the good show has just kicked off.
Aubrey, I will make you pay for what you have done!
...
Aubrey washed her body over and over.
The unbearable memories and images of the past few hours lingered in her mind.
"Ah!"
Aubrey stood under the shower and screamed.
Aubrey wondered, how did things end up like this?
I carefully set up the trap for that b***h, Lia, but now, not only is she missing, but I also encountered such a disgusting thing!
Aubrey couldn't remember how many men there were. All she could remember was the disgusting stink in their mouths!
She felt extremely disgusted at the thought of it.
