Chapter 5 AI Face-Swapping
985 Words
At this time, the phone rang.
It was Alfred.
Alfred's family was engaged in an ironware business. He was not extremely rich, but he was good-looking and ambitious. Aubrey liked him very much.
That was why she had chosen Alfred to work with her to seize the Elinor Group.
All of a sudden, Aubrey panicked. She knew Alfred very well. If Alfred knew that she was gang raped, he would definitely dislike her!
Therefore... Aubrey must not let him know!
Aubrey quickly calmed down and answered the phone in a coquettish voice, "Alfred, have you found Lia?"
"She has returned to the Elinor's house," Alfred said in a low voice. "I also temporarily lost contact with the gangster I bought off."
The gangster's phone card had already been broken in front of Lia. That was why Alfred could not contact him.
"How is this possible?" Aubrey was shocked.
Lia had clearly taken a large dose of drugs, and it was impossible for her to leave the bar, let alone go home by herself!
"After planning for so long, we still failed. I knew it wouldn't be easy to seize the Elinor Group," Alfred said impatiently.
"We won't fail!" Aubrey gritted her teeth and said, "Isn't it just that we didn't get the photos? Now that the AI face-swapping skill is so perfect, it can be done flawlessly! No matter what happened today, what should happen tomorrow will still happen!"
Aubrey hung up the phone.
She frowned and became even more agitated.
No matter how she thought about it, she felt that what happened tonight was so strange.
Lia, who had been drugged, returned home safely. The gangster was out of contact and Aubrey encountered such a disgusting thing!
Aubrey's heart sank. Was it Lia...
As soon as this idea came to her mind, Aubrey thought of Lia's silly look. She immediately dispelled this idea.
Lia was such an i***t. How could she be so smart?
There was plenty of time to investigate what happened tonight. Aubrey would not let any of those scum go.
The most important thing right now was to make the fake photos before Lia's birthday party!
After planning for so long, Aubrey definitely could not miss this great opportunity.
...
The next morning.
Lia woke up from the nightmare again.
Lia dreamed that she had returned to the madhouse and was tied to the electric chair. The electric current passed through her body and she was in so much pain that she wanted to die. Aubrey and Alfred laughed wildly in front of her.
Outside the window, the birds were singing.
The sunlight scattered through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Lia paused for a long time and raised her hand to grab a handful of sunlight.
Her slender and tender fingertips clearly felt the warmth of the sun.
When she was in the madhouse, she had also dreamed of sunlight, but the sunlight in her dream was cold.
So it was not a dream now.
Lia really returned to the past...
It was already dawn. Her parents and grandfather should have come back!
Lia immediately lifted the quilt and got out of bed. She didn't even have time to wear her shoes before she ran out of the room and headed downstairs.
In the dining room.
David Elinor was peeling eggs for his wife, Susan Anderson. With a facial mask on her face, Susan was reading the latest fashion magazine.
Wearing presbyopia glasses, Luka was reading the newspaper with a serious expression.
"Look, Derek forced a long-established business to sell to him again!"
David took out the egg yolk and placed it on his wife's plate. "His life is probably not as good as it seems. I heard that all the Hopkin family members wanted to kill him. They hire killers and poison him. There are all kinds of things."
"He deserves it!" Luka snorted, obviously still holding a grudge over the acquisition.
Lia stood there and watched this scene.
It was as if a lifetime had passed.
Her eyes turned red.
She repeatedly muttered in her heart, "Fortunately... Fortunately..."
"Lia woke up?" Luka looked up at Lia and the seriousness on his face immediately disappeared. He became gentle and kind. "Come and have breakfast. Cali made your favorite dessert."
"Alright!"
Lia calmed down and walked over.
"Lia, happy 18th birthday!" David smiled and said, "The gift that Mom and Dad prepared for you has already been placed in your room. Do you like it?"
Lia glanced at Susan subconsciously.
Susan was still reading the newspaper as if she had not seen Lia.
Ever since Lia was a child, Luka was the one who treated Lia the best. Her parents had been working overseas for a long time, and they did not get along much with her. David treated her well, but Susan always treated her coldly.
Therefore, Lia didn't get along well with her mother before.
Until the nude photo incident, Susan changed her usual indifferent attitude toward Lia and defended her all the time.
However, before Lia could get out of her pain, a tragic car accident happened... In the end, she failed to reconcile with her mother.
"Not yet. When I woke up, I missed you so much, so I went downstairs to see you immediately!" Tears welled up in Lia's eyes.
Lia said in her heart, it's true... I miss you very much.
It's the best birthday gift for me that you can come back to me.
"Miss us?" Luka was stunned for a moment, then the smile on his face faded, and he was remorseful. "We have been too busy recently, and we didn't spend much time with you. I will pay attention in the future!"
"You've grown up. Do you still need us to accompany you every day?" Susan put down the newspaper, pulled down the facial mask, and handed it to the servant on the side.
