Second Chance: Marrying into Wealth Chapter 44

Since we are not planning to rush in, we need to be more cautious.

The video can't push the door open to record, but the audio can.

This is also because I can't stick to the door with Paula to record all the time, what if Lawrence notices?

Paula and I communicated through our phones.

Paula was very annoyed: "Lawrence is such a bad man, are we really not going to rush in and record a video as evidence?"

I shook my head: "This bit of evidence is not enough to deal with Lawrence."

Paula blew the hair off her forehead in frustration, "But this way, it's too easy on that bad man."

"It's just temporary." I smiled and continued typing, "You know what? I've been reflecting on how Lawrence has fooled me over the years, and I've also reflected on the impulsive actions I've taken when things happened recently.

If we don't hold back now, it will only ruin our plan. This time, I won't be so impulsive. This time, if I do it, it will be a sure hit."

Don't I long for Paula to help me at this moment, then rush in and capture the scene of Clara and Lawrence cheating?

To see Lawrence's speechless and embarrassing scene with my own eyes?

Of course not.

No one longs to rush in more than I do.

Maybe it's because I don't love Lawrence anymore, my intelligence has returned, and Christopher's words also reminded me, allowing me to stop in time when my anger was about to explode.

We still need to continue investigating. Now that Evan has escaped abroad and is living freely, we must find a way to track him down.

And the matter of drugging the supplements, I haven't collected enough evidence yet. I need to find out through what channels Lawrence got those drugs. With his identity, he shouldn't have access to that level of drugs.

Is there someone else helping him, or is his mistress Clara also helping? If Clara is helping, we can also catch her in the act.

After my reminder, Paula calmed down, "Alright, I'll listen to you! But having the audio is good too, let's do this later..."

A cunning look flashed in her eyes.

I just found her adorable like this.

Actually, as a lawyer, she knows best when it's most appropriate to go in. If she were handling this rationally and competently as usual, she wouldn't make such an impulsive mistake.

The reason she's so impulsive is that she feels sorry for me.

Especially when she found out that I got sick from dousing myself with cold water to avoid getting close to Lawrence, she felt even more sorry for me.

On the other hand, she despises mistresses the most.

Lawrence targeted me because of my family background, which only shows his poor judgment.

In fact, if we really talk about family background, Paula's is better.

Her father is the richest man in Suncrest City, which I only found out by chance.

I was attending a high-end banquet with Kyle, and while my family's background might be considered good by ordinary standards, it was not noticeable at that banquet.

I was a bit surprised to see Paula there, but since she has always been capable, I didn't think much of it.

Some people approached me and even spoke rudely to me, and when Paula protected me, someone recognized her.

Her father turned out to be Randy Ellis, the richest man.

I was shocked at the time, but I wasn't angry that she had hidden this identity from me.

Paula and I became good friends because we share the same interests, values, and have gone through thick and thin together.

So, even if someone said Paula looked down on me and deliberately hid her identity, I would only think they were trying to drive a wedge between us.

However, Paula later found me and sincerely apologized, which warmed my heart, "I'm sorry, my dad is Randy, but I've never taken any advantage of his status."

It was then that I learned Randy had taken a mistress, which led to her mother's death, and later the mistress married in openly, and Randy treated her poorly.

So, even though Randy has nearly a billion dollars in assets, her life wasn't easy.

She did various part-time jobs in school, selling water dispensers, phone cards, instant noodles, and even worked in a mall selling washing machines and refrigerators, and once dressed as a mascot bear in the heat.

It was because she fainted during a part-time job that I met her and saved her, and we became closer and closer.

As for why she chose to become a lawyer, one reason is that she wants to fight for her inheritance in the future, and another is that she was harassed by a student's parent when she was a tutor and was helped by a lawyer.

Now she is a prominent lawyer in the business world, and no one dares to bully her.

This is also why she lost her rationality just now and wanted to rush in and catch them in the act.

We finished our conversation on the phone.

Paula and I exchanged a glance!

"Melinda, how are you? Is your head still hurting? Where's Lawrence? I told you he was unreliable!"

Paula shouted this loudly.

She called Lawrence's name with the most force and volume.

I could vaguely hear the sounds of sex in the bathroom come to an abrupt stop.

Paula immediately went to the door, took down the recording device, and then rushed over.

When we exchanged glances, we were both in a good mood, trying to hold back our laughter.

Paula typed: "Melinda, do you think Lawrence might have gone impotent from that sudden noise?"

My face turned slightly red, after all, I had only had sex with Lawrence that one night.

But my eyes lit up, and I replied, "It's very possible, but it would only have a small impact."

However, Paula was unusually excited, "Clara is so slutty, always unable to control herself. If Lawrence has sexual dysfunction, do you think Clara might go find another man? We might get to see a good show."

Paula's words made me curious, just imagining that scene made me feel good.

But now is not the time to think about this.

My voice was still a bit hoarse, "Don't say that about Lawrence, he must have gone out to get me something to eat or something."

Paula replied, "He better be, or I won't let him off easily. Your voice is so dry, let me get you some water."

She poured me a glass of water, but it was already a bit cold. Paula took the opportunity to get up, "Close your eyes and rest for a bit, I'll get you some hot water."

"Okay!"

I obediently agreed and really lay down cooperatively.

Paula glanced at the direction of the bathroom, then left with the kettle.

Lawrence was probably paying attention to the outside noise. As soon as Paula left, he secretly opened the door, probably seeing me with my back to the bathroom door, and then he protected Clara and let her leave first.

Although I didn't see it with my own eyes.

I could hear the sound of the door opening.

Lying with my back to the bathroom was part of Paula and my plan.

It was to let Clara leave successfully. Lawrence probably thought this sneaky affair was thrilling and hadn't been discovered. He would only think I was stupid, and they were clever, and then become more reckless, making it easier to catch them in the act.
