Chapter 1997 Making A Move

“What happened to Ms. Benett? Is there any way I can be of a*sistance?” Terence Matthams chimed in. Hist question seemed caring, but in reality, it sounded like an interrogation.

He wanted to know where Elisa had gone and why she did not turn up.

Knowing that Terence had previously served in the military, was straightforward, and cared about his reputation, Bella knew she had to come up with a suitable reason. Otherwise, he wouldn’t let it slide.

She smiled and responded, “It’s something related to Ms. Benett’s family. I hear that her boyfriend is feeling unwell, so she has to accompany him to the hospital.”
