Chapter 307

Lydia’s words had seemed like just a casual remark, but for some reason. Mark kept them in mind and actually made the call himself.

Thinking about it now, he was filled with regret. He said. “If I’d known something like that would happen, I never would’ve made that call myself. I should’ve just waited until he got home before reaching out.”

He knew that his call had caused the accident that killed someone, but he had no idea Emily and Austin were there because

of it.

Emily didn’t explain anything. After getting all her questions answered, she left with Austin. Even though she was sure Lydia was behind Bob’s accident, there were still a lot of things she couldn’t figure out.

She pondered, ‘Bob’s whereabouts were supposed to be a secret, so how did Lydia know exactly when he’d be coming back to Cloudridge? And how could she have figured out the exact time he’d be passing that road?

‘What made her so sure Mark would make the call himself? How could she possibly predict that the driver, after hearing the news, would be in such a rush to get home that he’d risk running a red light for just a couple of seconds?

‘If this were all Lydia’s scheme, there were way too many things out of her control. What gave her the confidence that everything would fall into place?

‘From what I know about Lydia, she is never that scheming-there’s no way she could have orchestrated something this complicated. So how did she pull it off?

Emily’s brow stayed tightly knit as she mulled over all these questions, but she just couldn’t find a single clue. The lead involving Mark seemed to have hit a dead end.

Watching her worry day in and day out, Austin wanted to tell her to take a break, but he just couldn’t bring himself to say it.

But she never expected Lucas would actually go all the way to the cemetery just to find her.

Emily frowned, and just hearing Lucas’s name was enough to ruin her good mood. She honestly had no idea why Lucas was so obsessed with finding her.

She said coldly. “Do me a favor and tell him I have nothing to do with the Bennett Family anymore. If he wants someone to pretend we’re some loving siblings, he’d better look elsewhere. I can’t stand that kind of act.”

She was about to hang up when Lucas’s voice suddenly came through the phone.

He said, “Emily, wait. Don’t hang up. I know I was wrong. Back then, I was completely fooled by Lydia and all her lies. Everything I did to you-I didn’t mean it. I can make it up to you. Can you please stop ignoring me?”

There was even a pleading note in his voice, making him sound downright pitiful.
