The Woman From Hell

Chapter 2277

Marius quickened his pace. He had no intention of answering me at all.

Not to mention, his long legs were almost as long as Theo's.

I caught up to him, and through the periphery of my vision, I saw him ignoring me. I whispered, "If you don't wanna say it, then so be it."

Marius abruptly stopped when I said that.

I looked at him, confused. "What's wrong?"

"You really want to know?" Marius approached me, looking patronizing.

Why did I not realize that he was so much taller than me before?

I pursed my lips and turned away. "Whatever. It's fine. I was just curious."

Marius tilted his head and looked at me with a slight smile on the corners of his mouth. "I was going to tell you about it, but if that's the case, then forget it." He shoved his hands in his pant pockets, picked up his feet, and continued forward.

"Hey, why are you like this? Are you going to tell me or not?"

"Depends on my mood." The smile on Marius's face widened. He then asked, "Why are you looking for Mr. Carter, though?"

I did not care to hide it and responded slowly, "Mr. Carter seemed taken aback for a moment when he saw me on the mountain. I want to know what he was thinking."

Hearing this, Marius frowned. "It should be the first time you and Mr. Carter met. How could he know you?" His voice was doubtful.

"I was thinking the same. That's why I want to clarify it with Mr. Carter."

Maybe he knew something.

"We're here."

Marius stopped when we arrived at a tiled house. "This is it."

Taking a deep breath, I stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

Mr. Carter opened the door as he asked.

Seeing that it was us, he grinned. "It's you guys. Come on in and take a seat."

Marius and I entered the house. Mr. Carter poured us two glasses of water. I smiled at him. Mr. Carter's eyes fell on me, and he was dazed for a moment.

"Mr. Carter?" Marius whispered.

He came back to his senses and then smiled lightly. "I'm sorry, it's nothing."

After taking a sip of water, Marius and I looked at each other. He had also obviously noticed that Mr. Carter was looking at me a little strangely.

"Is there anything you need from me?" Mr. Carter asked.

Marius looked at me. "Miss Lane has something to ask you."

"So, you're called Miss Lane. Hello." Mr. Carter looked at me.

I nodded at him with a shallow smile. "Mr. Carter, I want to ask you. Do you... know me?"

Mr. Carter's expression changed slightly, perhaps because the question was confusing. He lowered his gaze. "You're not from here, Miss Lane. This should be our first meeting."

"I think so too," I murmured softly but then raised my gaze to look at Mr. Carter, "But when I saw you at the hut this morning, your wide eyes told me that you know me. Or maybe I resemble someone, your mind also wandered looking at me, and I want to know why.Content belongs to noveldrama.org

Mr. Carter pursed his lips at this. He looked like he had something to hide and did not say anything for a long time.

"Mr. Carter, it looks like you really do know something. Miss Lane is just curious. What is there that you can't divulge?" Marius was also trying to persuade Mr. Carter.

Mr. Carter took a look at Marius and

sighed. "Kdon't actually have

anything to hide, but this incident

was quite a huge matter back then. The village chief forbade us to speak about it." Content belongs to noveldrama.org

"Look, Mr. Carter, you grew up with Marius. His lips are tightly sealed and I'm just an outsider. I don't know anyone here and will be heading back in a few days. Just pretend it's a story and tell us about it. Content belongs to noveldrama.org
