Chapter 2491

Lulu’s complexion was pale, still very shaken up from the incident.

Bringing her into a hug, Spencer coaxed her, “Don’t be scared. They were all caught and will pay the price for what they did.”

“What on earth is going on? I don’t know her. Why did she have to frame me?” Lulu bit her lip. She tried to think of an answer, but got nothing.

“Everything will make sense in the end. Don’t worry,” Spencer reassured as his eyes darkened.

‘If that person wasn’t crazy, then their act must’ve been staged,’ he thought to himself.

Suddenly, Spencer’s phone rang. He glanced at the screen and saw it was Icyln calling.

Frowning, he answered the call.

“Babe! Where are you?” Icyln’s voice rang from the phone speaker.

“Is something the matter?” asked Spencer, cutting straight to the point.

“Oh, I just wanted to ask if you have time to come out with me to pick a gift for our professor. It’s his birthday today, by the way, and I want to give him a gift,” explained Icyln.

Spencer glanced at Lulu and replied, “I’m busy. I have things to take care of. You can go yourself.”

“Babe, what are you busy with? Do you need my help?” asked Icyln, with concern in her voice.

“No need. I’ve got to go.” Spencer hung up the phone.

He turned to look at Lulu and said, “Let’s go rest for a while.”

Lulu shook her head. “I don’t think I can sleep.”

“Don’t be scared. I’ll be here with you, the whole time.”

“I really can’t sleep,” Lulu insisted.

Lulu felt that each time she closed her eyes, her fear and anxiety would consume her entirely.

“Is your professor’s birthday coming up soon?” she asked, trying to divert the conversation.

Spencer nodded. “Yeah.”

“Don’t you need to prepare a gift for him too?” Lulu knew that Spencer had been his professor’s favorite student and kept in close contact after graduating.

Spencer looked down at Lulu and smiled. “I’ve already prepared his gift.”

“Huh? You’ve already prepared it?” asked Lulu, dumbfounded.

Spencer tapped Lulu’s nose gently, smiling. “An invitation to our wedding. He said he had always anticipated attending our wedding.”

Lulu blinked blankly before her face started flushing red.” What kind of birthday gift is this?”

“He said it’s the best birthday gift he has ever received.” Spencer shrugged, withholding the truth from Lulu as it was not what his professor had said.

Lulu rolled her eyes at him. “Let’s get him another gift.”

“Okay, after you are well rested. We can go another time,” said Spencer with a smile.

“Yeah,” agreed Lulu, nodding.

Spencer ran his fingers through Lulu’s hair. In a soft voice, he said, “Get some sleep. I’ll be here when you wake up, okay? Don’t be scared.”

“Can you accompany me to talk?” asked Lulu. She did not want to sleep, so she chatted up a storm with Spencer. Ever since Lulu had been with Spencer, her mood had improved.

Meanwhile, as the day grew darker, the atmosphere at the Riddle residence was dark and gloomy.
