Chapter 425 Man Of Woman?
Hailey comforted, “Yuliana, don’t worry too much. Jake’s mother is a kind person. She will be fine.”
Hailey got to meet Sabrina the last time the latter sent Jacob to Juxshire.
Sabrina was gentle and elegant and exuded a friendly aura.
Compared to Yuliana’s mother, they had completely different personalities.
“I hope so.” Yuliana was not optimistic.
After ending the call with Hailey, she called Jacob again. “Jake, have you arrived at school?”
“Not yet, but I’m almost there.” Jacob was still in the car. He went out at 6:00 a.m. because he had to go to school and arrive at 7:30 a.m. for morning self-study. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
“Where have you been, Yuliana? When I woke up in the morning, Hailey told me you left on an errand,” Jacob asked.
When Yuliana came to his room last night, it was already past 9 p.m. At that time, she did not seem to be leaving and even asked him some things about his mother. When he went out earlier, he called Sabrina again, but her phone was still switched off.
He was a little worried.
Yuliana said, “My friend is facing some problems. Go to school and attend classes. If anything happens to you at school, remember to call me.”
Last night, Christopher and his men turned Sabrina’s house into a mess. They must have been looking for something.
She was not sure if they had found it.
Now Sabrina was gone, and she was worried that those people would find Jacob.
Jacob hesitated for a while and then asked, “Did you manage to reach my mom? I called her again when I went out just now, but her phone was still off. I’m a little worried.”
Yuliana was silent for two seconds and then said, “I did. Aunt Sabrina lost her phone, so you can’t reach her previous number. I asked Chandler to visit her earlier. She’s fine. When she buys a new phone, she will call you.”
“I see.” Jacob let out a breath and said, “I’m relieved.”
Yuliana comforted him, “Jake, I have something else to do. I need to hang up the phone.”
“Okay, goodbye, Yuliana.”
Then, the call ended.
Yuliana leaned against the back of the chair and pondered for a while.
Christopher must have chosen to go to Sabrina’s house to look for something at midnight because he was afraid of being seen during the day. Now it was dawn, so they probably already left.
Yuliana contemplated for a while before driving back to Sabrina’s house.
As soon as she parked the car on the side of the road, Lucinda Rogers, who was sitting by the neighboring door and tending to the vegetables, looked at Yuliana. As Lucinda saw Yuliana, the former smiled and nodded. “Kiddo, did you come to see your Aunt Sabrina again?”
Lucinda’s family had lived here for decades. When Yuliana’s grandparents were still alive, they had already been living here. In fact, Lucinda was quite familiar with Yuliana’s grandparents and knew a
little about Yuliana’s family’s situation.
When Yuliana was a child, she would come back with Damian once or twice a year. Therefore, it could be considered that Lucinda had witnessed her growth process.
However, after Sabrina moved here, she did not like to interact with people too much because of Damian’s
case
Yuliana nodded and greeted Lucinda.
“Unfortunately, Mrs. Livingstone went out early yesterday and hasn’t come back yet.” The older woman
continued, “I heard that her son goes to Juxshire for school, so she probably has gone to Juxshire. Didn’t you live in Juxshire too? Didn’t she contact you when she went there?”
“No.” Yuliana shook her head, and contemplated briefly before she walked toward Lucinda and asked, “Mrs. Rogers, are you at home every day?”
Lucinda hurriedly grabbed a chair for Yuliana to sit down and replied with a smile, “Yes, I retired a few days ago. Now, I take care of my grandchild at home every day, but they’re still sleeping. They are about the same age as your kid.”
Yuliana nodded and said she had seen Lucinda’s grandchild before.
When Rowan came here last time, he played with Lucinda’s grandchild.
“Mrs. Rogers, I want to ask you something.” Yuliana said.
Lucinda looked at her and said, “What’s the matter? Tell me.”
Yuliana hesitated for a while and asked, “Has any suspicious person come to look for Aunt Sabrina recently?”
“Suspicious?” Lucinda’s expression changed instantly.
Yuliana hurriedly explained, “You see. I’ve lost some money in my business these few months, and I’ve been avoiding creditors recently. I’m afraid they might come to find Aunt Sabrina since they can’t find me.”
“I see. Let me think.” With that, Lucinda thought about it seriously.
Yuliana sat quietly aside and waited.
After a while, Lucinda said, “Some time ago, someone did come to find her. I have never seen that person before, but they were probably not worthy of suspicion since Mrs. Livingstone even invited them into the house. They probably know each other.”
That day, Lucinda happened to be taking a walk with her grandson. She saw a man standing at the door of Sabrina’s house and talking to Sabrina. Later, Sabrina spotted Lucinda and invited the man into the house.
Since Sabrina moved here, she had seldom associated with others. In addition, that person was a man, so Lucinda got curious and kept that in mind.
That man stayed in the house with Sabrina for roughly an hour before leaving.
Yuliana frowned. “Was it a man or a woman?”
Lucinda replied, “A man.”
Yuliana was silent for a moment and then asked, “Is there anything else?”
Lucinda shook her head and replied, “I don’t know anything else. You’re aware of this too. Mrs. Livingstone is 100 introverted that I feel awkward greeting her even if I wanted to.”
Yuliana smiled politely and said, “Mrs. Rogers, thank you. I’ll go to Aunt Sabrina’s house and have a look.” Lucinda nodded. “Since Mrs. Livingstone is not in, and if you are not in a hurry to leave, come to my house for lunch.”
“Okay.” After saying that, Yuliana walked to Sabrina’s house.
The door lock had been broken and was only roughly covered up now. However, it could not be noticed from a distance unless someone looked closely.
Yuliana pushed open the door and went in. The room looked different from last night as if it had been tidied up on purpose. Many things had been returned to their original positions and the damaged things had been cleaned up as if nothing had happened there.
She stood at the entrance of the living room and looked around.
The room was very quiet, so there should be no one in it.
Yuliana first explored downstairs and then went to the second floor. The rooms on the second floor were also ransacked. Although the mess had been cleaned up, the position of many items was different from what she remembered.
Yuliana went straight to Sabrina’s room.
Sabrina’s room was plain and simple, without anything extra.
Yuliana walked to the dresser, swiped her fingers across its surface, and then sat down in a chair. After
Sabrina and Jacob returned to Yrinas, Yuliana bought a new one for Sabrina after seeing the emptiness in
the room.
The material and design selected were consistent with the decoration style of the room, which was retro, so it matched the vibe of the room.
This dresser had a hidden drawer specifically made by Sabrina herself. She usually kept some cash and important items in it. Sabrina did not hide this from Yuliana and even openly took money out of it, so Yuliana knew.
Yuliana pulled out the bottommost drawer and pressed the button in the drawer. The hidden segment opened up, and an envelope was placed at the top.
There was a name written on the cover: [Yuliana.]
