Chapter 101
Just then, Rena’s phone rang, shattering the tense atmosphere. Frustrated, Vera muttered curses under her breath as she retrieved the phone for her friend.
It was a call from Waylen!
Vera stood in stunned silence. Maintaining her composure became an insurmountable task.
It turned out that Rena really was with Waylen!
Vera was shocked when she saw the caller ID.
Albeit hesitant, she answered the phone for Rena.
Waylen’s magnetic voice sounded from the other end of the line. “Where are you? Why aren’t you at home?”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Hearing the concern in Waylen’s voice, Vera glanced at Rena in surprise.
It seemed that… their relationship was very intimate!
Truth be told, she had been wondering how Rena’s father was suddenly bailed out of jail, not to mention the troubles Harold was facing. It turned out that Waylen was behind all this!
Vera’s eyes lit up. It was so exciting to learn that Waylen, who was the legend in the law circle for being fierce and invincible, had stood up for her friend.
Vera deliberately lowered her voice and whispered, “Mr. Fowler, this is Vera!
I was classmates with Rena back in college. We’ve met before, though—at the country club! Anyway, Rena’s with me now. She was so sad that she drank a lot and passed out.”
Waylen had just gotten back home. At this time, he was standing in front of the French window, gently loosening his tie with his slender fingers.
His actions were simple but elegant.
Hearing what Vera just said, he frowned. “She drank a lot? Why? What happened?”
Vera sighed and began to make up lies to tug at his heartstrings.
“Mr. Fowler, do you really not know? Rena cares a lot about you, and now she had a falling out with Harold! One of Harold’s girlfriends used to be our classmate and is now Rena’s colleague at work. She slandered Rena at university forum! Rena likes children very much but now she might never be able to go back to teaching those children. She is very upset about it.”
Vera got so carried away that she got choked up with sobs in the end Harold had hurt Rena too much.
Waylen didn’t say anything for a long time. His silence made Vera suddenly realize that she had inadvertently spilled the beans about Harold’s scandal.
Would it implicate Rena?
Just as she was beginning to wonder if she had shared too much, Waylen’s deep voice sounded. “Where are you?”
Vera didn’t dare to dilly-dally and quickly give him the address of the bar.
After putting the phone down, Vera had mixed feelings about the whole situation. Indeed, she was the one who had tried to help Rena get close to Waylen, but she really didn’t expect that her friend would’ actually win Waylen’s heart. After all, he was notorious for being difficult to approach.
In fact, just a few days ago a famous actress was at a Banquet with her friends.
