Menu Chapter 455 Marie opened the driverâs door, got in, fastened her seatbelt, and took out her phone to make a call. âHelp me pull up the internal business records of the Herman Group.â
Marielaâs eyes were cold, her fair and slender fingers tapping rhythmically on the steering wheel.
âAlso, find a reliable private detective, I want to investigate Jaime.
âYes, Ms. Logan.â
After hanging up, Marie casually tossed her phone onto the passenger seat, stepped on the gas, and the car drove off.
Dusk fell, and the city lights began to glow.
During the evening rush hour, the roads were jamâpacked, the black RollsâRoyce Phantom hidden in an endless line of traffic.
The traffic jam was frustrating and irritating.
Just then, the phone rang, and Mariela picked it up to look.
It was Lennonâs call.
After the breakup, Mariela still kept Lennonâs phone number, but it hadnât appeared in her call log for a long time.
She originally didnât want to answer Lennonâs call, but then she thought it might be related to Angel, so after a moment of hesitation, she answered.

âThe police just called and said they are discussing a plan with the Italian police to rescue Angel.â

âWait.â Lennon quickly spoke, âMarie, Iâm sorry about what Bella said to you earlier at my house. I apologize on her behalf, Iâm sorry.â

If she said she felt nothing about what Bella said, she wouldnât believe it herself.
The person on the other end of the phone was also silent.
It seemed like he was waiting for her The air was a bit stifling.
response.
Marie slightly lowered the car window to let the air circulate.
The cold wind from outside rushed in, and her stifled chest could finally breathe normally.
After a moment, Mariela heard her own voice, pretending to be relaxed and indifferent.
âNo need, I wasnât planning to marry you anyway.â
After saying that, without waiting for Lennon to speak, she directly pressed the hangâup button.
