Chapter 1560 Lorraine Finds Her Bag
Lorraine was in an excellent mood after locating her bag.
She carefully checked its contents and confirmed that no one had tampered with the template in her bag. Out of habit, she made secret markings on her bags so that she could tell if someone messed with them.
Thankfully, the secret marking remained intact, and Lorraine felt as though a weight had been lifted off her chest.
The template was extremely important to her. She took it out of her bag and examined it under the sunlight, caressing it like a mother would her child.
‘‘Thank God you didn’t lie to me, Sonia!’‘
Lorraine was in no rush to leave Sonia’s room now that she had found her bag. Instead, she wanted to soothe her fraught nerves.
To that end, Lorraine walked toward a chair on the balcony and gingerly sat down on it.
Lorraine snapped out of her reverie when she felt her phone vibrating. She checked the screen and realized that her chauffeur was calling.
As she smacked her forehead, a bitter smile formed on her face while she mumbled, ‘‘I forgot the two of them are still waiting for me. They’ll probably storm the house if I don’t go down soon.’‘
At that thought, Lorraine hurriedly left the room. She seemed so at ease that the two housekeepers she ran into on her way out did not suspect her at all.
She even waved goodbye to the security guard before darting into the waiting car.
Slamming the door quickly, Lorraine declared sternly, ‘‘Call the boys. Ask them to take good care of Lorraine.’‘
They could obviously tell from her expression that she had found what she came for. She also appeared to be in a good mood.
The chauffeur looked at her through the rearview mirror and asked, ‘‘How did it go, Ms. Lorraine? Must’ve gone well, huh? You seem to be in a good mood. I guess that chick Sonia didn’t trick you after all. I trust your possessions are untouched?’‘ At the same time, he started the car engine.
‘‘Yes.’‘ Lorraine no longer seemed as frosty as before.
Meanwhile, her subordinate asked, ‘‘Are you really planning to let Sonia go? We may have gotten the template back, and yes, she hasn’t seen it at all, but isn’t it dangerous to let her go? She’s Lawrence’s daughter. If she tells them what we’ve done, won’t they…’‘ He trailed off and drew his finger across his throat.
Additionally, he knew that Lorraine was far from a kind person. Thus, he was curious about her reasons for releasing Lorraine.
Lorraine chuckled when she saw her subordinate’s hand gesture. ‘‘Am I truly that cruel? In any case, we’re dead meat if we harm General Lawrence’s darling girl.’‘
Her reply caused the two men in the car to shudder silently in fear.
The same thought probably ran through their minds. She’s already harmed, though.
Oblivious to their worries, Lorraine continued, ‘‘We didn’t mistreat Sonia anyway. She looks like a kind girl. I’m sure she’ll be fine once we offer a nice apology.’‘
She paused and rubbed her temples before falling silent.
Meanwhile, the chauffeur piped up, ‘‘Her family might not trace this to us. It’s a shame to let her go like this.’‘ He was too enamored by Sonia’s beauty and felt reluctant about setting her free.
His comment caused Lorraine to cast a meaningful glance his way. She ignored him and asked her subordinate, ‘‘No one’s picking up?’‘
‘‘No. Did something happen?’‘ He had called the kidnappers four times.
Lorraine’s expression darkened at that.
Those people I hired are a bunch of outlaws! Sonia’s status is too important. If something happens to her, we’re in hot soup!
