âThen tell me, where is Frank?â Ann looked around and suddenly found herself silly. After receiving Sherlyâs call, Ann quickly rushed over, but she didnât see Frank there, Annâs pretty face looked disappointed, Frank meant a lot to Ann. Ann could only serve the Chaney family by marrying Frank. Ann lived next door to Frank, but he had never taken her out for dinner, It was Frankâs indifference that drove Ann crazy and made her lose her manners. Ann rushed over to see what was going on. Sherly quickly entered the private room and angrily walked to the window. She glanced at the place where Judith and Frank had just sat. They were gone. Sherly then saw Ann, in a pink dress, standing outside the restaurant and calling Sherly. Annâs face looked grim. Sherly was confused and she hurried to explain to Ann with a frown, âAnn, believe me or not, Frank and Judith, the design director of Frankâs company, were in the restaurant behind you just now. If you donât believe me, you can check the surveillance footage.â Then, Sherly hung up the phone. However, Sherlyâs eyes were fixed on the table at which Judith was sitting. How could Judith leave all of a sudden? Julissa also walked to Sherly. She crossed her arms and looked at the restaurant opposite with contempt. Julissa frowned slightly and narrowed her eyes that were full of shrewdness. She looked cold and arrogant. Julissa then said, âThey left in such a hurry!â âIndeed! Ann thought I was fooling around with her.â Sherlyâs voice sounded powerless. On second thought, it was not the first time Sherly had offended Ann. Sherly didnât mind doing it one more time. Julissa glanced at Sherlyâs listless face. Julissa then walked back to her chair and sat down. She crossed her legs. With a red manicure, Julissaâs hands looked well maintained. Julissa lifted a teacup and took a sip of the hot tea.
Julissa remained collected and smiled cunningly. She casually said, âSo what if you ARE fooling around with her? Ann wouldnât have taken the bait herself if she had no intention. She canât blame you.â âThatâs true. It also shows how much Ann cares about Frank. Thatâs something we may make use of in the future.â Sherly felt relieved after hearing Julissa out. Sherly was as vicious as her mother, yet less diplomatic. Sherly ran into Judith, which reminded Sherly of a question she had always had. Sherly glanced at Julissa, who looked peaceful and calm, and asked with a smile, âMom, when you took Judith away that year, didnât anyone look for her?â Suddenly, Julissa raised her aged yet still attractive face.
Julissa gazed at Sherly and after looking at Sherly for a while, Julissa lowered her eyes. Julissa remained silent. Sherly knew at a glance that Julissa did not want to tell. But Sherly was curious. Since Judith was lost, her family must have been looking for her. Or perhaps Judith was an orphan? And that was why nobody ever reached her⦠Julissa never said anything. She seemed to be hiding something about Judith. Occasionally, Sherlyâs eldest brother would mention it, but every time he did, Julissa would scold him. It seemed that Julissa didnât want anyone to mention Judith. âMom, just tell me! I am really curious!â Sherly began to beg Julissa. Sherly walked up to Julissa and shook her arm like a spoiled child.
However, Julissa had gone through a lot. She knew her daughter well. No matter how hard Sherly tried to play charm on Julissa, Julissa wouldnât tell Sherly anything about Judith.
Julissa might go to jail if the truth was unveiled.
