Chapter 698 Why Should I Trust You?

One day, Daryl went to the Thomas' house to visit Paula as usual. Paula now was being confined at home and Daryl kept seeing her in the hope that the visit could soothe Paula somehow. Not long after Daryl got out of the gate, she caught the sight of Lucia who was pressing on eagerly.

As they crossed paths, Daryl turned back to call Lucia, "Lucia?"

Lucia looked back in bewilderment. "Do you know me?" she asked this strange woman politely.

With a gentle smile, Daryl replied, "Mr. Adams is already famous enough, let alone being the mother of Timothy and

Janet. I of course know you."

Lucia nodded lightly, "Excuse me but I've got to go."

Daryl tried to detain Lucia as she said blandly, "But Mr. Thomas has been absent for a couple of days, Miss Thomas is

thus not allowed to meet you."

Hearing Daryl mentioning Paula, Lucia turned back instantly. The anxiety rendered her voice even colder, "Who are you?

Why are you so clear about their business?"

Daryl sighed with a wry smile before her face resumed the emotionless expression. "May I have a word with you since

Lucia looked at Daryl narrowing with a skeptical gaze. Daryl's pretty and innocent face just reminded Lucia of the saying "Don't trust any beautiful woman". Lucia knew Daryl was approaching her with a certain purpose, though she didn't know what the exact intention was. Lucia just warned herself to be cautious, especially when she had be cheated by
