Chapter 332
Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia
Chapter 332 Louis walked to the balcony and picked up the call.
As soon as the call connected, the person on the other end said, âMr. Smith, Iâve found out what you asked me to investigate.â
âReally?!â Louisâs face showed a hint of joy.
However, in the next second, he heard the person on the other end says, âIn order to investigate Miss Grey, Iâve suffered heavy losses, so you have to pay more!â
A hint of mockery appeared on Louisâs handsome face.
Whether the loss was real or not, in his eyes, it was just an excuse for the investigator to raise the price.
âTell me, how much do you want?â Louis said calmly.
The speaker on the phone seemed to be waiting for Louis to say this. Without any hesitation, he blurted out, â400 thousand dollars!â
âThis is daylight robbery!â Louisâs face suddenly darkened. âBesides, why should I pay you extra before getting the information I need!â
âMr. Smith, in our line of work, trust is important. Of course, if you donât believe me, I canât do anything about it. I can only hand over the information Iâve collected to others,â the speaker said calmly. âIâve been following Miss Grey for more than half a month.
I guess Mr. Smith will regret it for the rest of your life if you miss this chance...â
âWait!â Louis was afraid that the investigator would hang up the phone, so he scolded coldly, âSee you tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. at Midnight Cafe. Iâll pay you cash on delivery!â
âSince Mr. Smith is so straightforward, Iâm surely happy to cooperate.â The investigator smiled and said, âWeâll meet at ten tomorrow morning.â
After hanging up, Louis returned to the dining room.
However, after eating, he made up an excuse to get up and leave.
Richard had expected Louis to react like this, so he wasnât in a hurry.
However, when Olivia saw Louis leaving so decisively, she felt a faint sense of unease in her heart.
She quickly chased after him after grabbing a thin jacket. âLouis.â
Louis stopped in his tracks. The coldness in his eyes receded slightly as he said indifferently, âWhat are you doing outside of the house?â
Olivia was wearing a moonâwhite dress with a champagneâcolored shawl over her shoulders. She stood in front of him in her slippers and leaned against his chest.
Her eyes glinted as she put on a gentle but playful smile. âYou drank just now. I was worried about you.â
âItâs cold at night. Come on, head back inside quickly,â Louis said.
Olivia allowed herself to be pushed backward and took a step back, but accidentally stepped on a stone and felt her body falling backward without warning.
She was so frightened that her face turned pale. In her panic, she grabbed the collar of Louisâs suit without thinking.
Louis quickly grabbed her waist. âAre you alright?â
His deep and gentle voice made Oliviaâs heart flutter. She bit her lip and looked up at the man in front of her. âIâm fine.â
However, Olivia did not let go of Louis immediately. Instead, she wrapped her arms around Louisâs neck and leaned against his chest weakly, pressing her chest tightly against his body.
Louis felt her soft body against his and stiffened immediately. His grip on her waist tightened slightly as he swallowed to calm himself. His eyes gradually darkened. âAre you coming with me tonight?â
Olivia was secretly delighted at his words.
This was exactly what she was looking forward to the most.
However, she didnât let her overjoy show and put on a shy expression. She buried her face in his chest and gave him a soft âyesâ.
