“Who is he?” Braelynn immediately asked.
As she realized that she had lost her composure, Lucian immediately shook her head and said, “It’s no one.”
Braelynn looked at Lucian suspiciously. “Mom, if you think of something, don’t hide it. You must tell me. William told me that this is very important. The person who is trying to harm you might do it again.”
“I know, Braelynn. I’m a little tired. Let me go back to my room and lie down.”
“Okay. I’ll bring you in.”
After helping Lucian onto her bed, Braelynn closed the door and left. Lucian couldn’t sleep as she already had a suspect in her heart after what Braelynn said. It should be the mystery man behind Gurmisran.
It must be the mysterious man who arranged for someone to kill her!
This incident must have something to do with Gurmisran as well. Lucian thought she had disguised herself well, but she still couldn’t escape.
Could it be that the other party knew Braelynn’s identity, so he had tried to kill her and Braelynn so viciously?
Did he find out that she had switched the children back then?
Lucian thought that she had covered her tracks well, and since it has been more than twenty years, how did the person find out?
But it didn’t matter how the person found out. From the time he tried to kill Lucian, Lucian had no way to escape this anymore.
Since she couldn’t escape, she decided not to. She had to fight back! She had to find a way to fight back. She wouldn’t hesitate to even if she fought to the death!
After leaving Lucian’s house, Braelynn went through Lucian’s words and behavior in her mind before calling William. “William, I think my mother knows who is trying to kill her.”
“How did you know?”
“My mother blurted out something when I mentioned the mastermind. However, when I tried to get more out of her, she didn’t want to tell me anything. William, should we find a lead from my mother?”
“No need! I know who the mastermind is.”
“You already know?” Braelynn was very surprised. “Who is it?”
“I’ll tell you later.”
William refused to tell Braelynn, and she didn’t continue asking as well. After chatting for a while, they hung up the phone.
Marcus was sitting beside William when he saw William hanging up the phone. “Was that Braelynn?”
“Yes, Braelynn told me that Lucian should know who was trying to kill her.”
“Will Lucian take the initiative to explain?” Marcus asked.
“I don’t think she would now! Is there any news from Bobby?” William asked as he was still concerned about the incident regarding Angel.
“No. If Bobby has any news, he will report it to you first. He would only tell me if you are not around.”
William laughed. “Bobby and Silas haven’t reported any progress up till now. Did they face any difficulties? It seems like I would need to provide them with some support.”
As he said that, he dialed Bobby’s number. “How’s the progress?”
“I was about to contact you. I have discussed with Silas, and we’ve decided to carry out a police raid to draw away Gurmisran’s men so that we could deal with Gurmisran. Do you think this would work?”
“It’s feasible. But if you only want Gurmisran to be left alone, I have a great way to help you.”
“That would be great. Tell me, Mr. Howard. I’m listening.”
“When Angel is about to plot against Richard this evening, arrange for someone to send Gurmisran a few texts. The content would be about the switching of the children at Misurton Maternity and Children’s Hospital back then. I believe that Gurmisran would take the bait in a hurry after reading your texts. Then you would have your chance.”
“Okay, got it! Don’t worry, Mr. Howard. I would bring you good news!”
Angel waited at Bayou Lagoo Resort until ten at night when Richard finally arrived.
When Angel heard that Richard had arrived, she immediately went to greet him while putting on her charm. As Richard got out of the car nonchalantly and saw Angel, who was so well-dressed, he exclaimed, “Is this, Ms. Floyd? I thought you were an angel sent from the heavens!”
“Mr. Clark, you flatter me.” Angel was delighted hearing Richard’s compliment, and she put on a bashful expression. “Mr. Clark, the supper is ready. Let’s go inside.”
“Alright. Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Floyd!”
Richard strode into the place, and Angel immediately followed him. The two of them then entered a room where the supper was laid out.
Although it was supper, the standards were like a proper meal. Angel had put in much effort to prepare many good dishes.
After Richard and she sat down, Angel started picking up food and putting them onto Richard’s plate. “Try this, Mr. Clark.”
“Alright!” Richard felt disgusted, but he kept it down and put on a show. When Angel saw that he was full of smiles, she thought Richard was pleased with her. So she continued putting food onto his plate.
Richard ate a few bites pretentiously. But soon, he couldn’t keep at it anymore, so he put down his cutlery and said, “I’ve heard that the fireworks show here is splendid. How about we go and watch the fireworks first?”
The fireworks show was the main event. Angel had planned to pave the way for the night with supper before she would propose to watch the fireworks show and plot against Richard then. Now that Richard suggested watching the fireworks, Angel was naturally eager, and she immediately agreed. “It’s up to you, Mr. Clark!”
So Richard got up and led Angel to the venue for the fireworks. Angel tried to take the initiative to hold Richard’s arm several times, but he avoided her quietly.
The two of them came to the venue to watch the fireworks, and many people were already gathered there. Angel and Richard stood at the best place to watch the fireworks, and there were fruits and wine prepared for them.
As the fireworks were set off and the bright lights dazzled the sky, Angel acclaimed exaggeratedly, “Wow! It’s so beautiful! So wonderful! This is the most incredible fireworks I’ve ever seen in my life!”
Richard heard her exclaiming with her pretentious shrill voice and felt like throwing up and leaving immediately. But since the show had gone on till now, he wanted to see it through the end. So Richard restrained himself so that he could see the ending.
“The fireworks do not even come close to your beauty, Ms. Floyd!”
Richard was pretty used to smooth-talking, and Angel was thrilled to hear his praise.
Angel had constantly observed Richard’s expressions since the start. Richard had a gentle smile from the beginning, which made him look extremely charming.
Angel didn’t know that Richard did not show his disgust on his face, and she thought that Richard was feeling as happy as her.
So she took out her phone shyly and asked Richard to take some photos for her. “The fireworks are so beautiful, and I like them very much. Mr. Clark, can you take a few photos for me?”
“I’ll be happy to!” Richard then held his patience and took a few photos of Angel.
Richard thought that if it were Braelynn by his side, he would gladly put in the effort to get friendly with her. But since it was Angel, he only had endless repulsion for her. It was tormenting for Richard to continue staying there, and he only wanted it to end as soon as possible.
So Richard took the wine from the table and asked, “I’m suddenly quite thirsty. Do you want a drink, Ms. Floyd?”
