All Too Late

Chapter 325 Adults Are All Liars

The next day, Gizem received a phone call from Lauren. “What is the meaning of all this?” Lauren was fuming. Gizem set her phone aside and put the call on speaker. “Nothing.” Lauren replied huffily, “I’m out of money.” “So?” Gizem’s tone was ice cold. “I’m not your parent. Am I supposed to give you an allowance?” “Gizem, what’s your problem?” Lauren was upset. “Just because I spent some of your money, you think you can act so high and mighty?”

the meantime, you better act smarter!” Gizem retorted coolly. “Gizem, I am your senior.” Lauren was infuriated. Gizem said indifferently, “Senior? I would still scold you the same way even if you were my master.” With that, she hung up the phone. Lauren was boiling with rage. She set down her phone as she clenched her jaw. Stupid Gizem! She decided to make a call to Theodore. “Are you here to tattle on Gizem?” said Theodore half-jokingly. “Master, she’s nothing but a pawn. Why are you so nice to her?” Lauren couldn’t accept this. “Oh, what do you know? Do you have any idea who her mentor is?” he asked sternly. “Of course. Her mentor is one of your seniors. So what? She’s still foolishly

“Fine. I’ll bear with her a little longer,” Lauren said icily. “By the way, any news on Nicolette’s whereabouts?” asked Theodore. “No,” Lauren answered. The whole purpose of her trip this time was to look for Nicolette. She also wanted to relax while she was at it. However, Gizem was putting a damper on her plans. Five years ago, Nicolette had taken the chaos as an opportunity to escape. Although Theodore had told Lauren that Nicolette was no longer someone that mattered, Lauren still could not let go of the matter. That was why she was out searching for Nicolette. Lauren had no idea where she could be hiding. There was no sign of her at all. The only thing Lauren could do was set this matter aside for the time being. Her priority right now was the issue in Jadeborough. The next day, Desi knew that Gizem was going to attend a charity event and insisted on tagging along. Gizem knew that Samuel disliked it when Desi tagged along with her. This was because he was worried Gizem would be a bad influence on Desi. Although this upset Gizem, she did not want to stir up any trouble. “Desi, I’m sorry, but I’m really busy today. I won’t have the time to look after you,” she explained. “Ms. Zabinski, you hate me, don’t you?” said Desi sadly. Although Desi had discussed this with Eil before, she still adored Gizem. “Of course not. I’ll bring you next time, okay?” Gizem replied helplessly. “You adults are all liars.” Desi pouted. Just as Gizem was in a dilemma, Samuel came downstairs. When he saw his daughter’s reddened eyes, his heart ached. “What’s going on?” “Daddy, I want to follow Ms. Zabinski to the event.” Desi tugged at Samuel’s pants. “Daddy, I want to go.” “Desi, you’re not supposed

pity within them. Due to the little girl’s condition, Samuel rarely brought her out to play. He was afraid that something might happen to her. Desi was very obedient as well. She had never once rebelled against her father’s words. When Samuel first woke up and saw the scrawny state she was in, his heart almost tore into two. The doctor said that since Desi was so tiny, it meant her mother’s pregnancy probably wasn’t a great one. When Samuel heard that, he hugged Desi and cried. Kathleen had sacrificed her life to give birth to Desi and Eil. How could his heart not ache? In a cold voice, he said, “Can you promise me that you won’t run around or get too excited? If anything happens, you must tell Dr.
