Second Chance: Marrying into Wealth Chapter 49

Lawrence felt visibly better after receiving my affirmative answer.

The joy was so palpable that it seemed to make the air dance.

But compared to his good mood, I only felt a chill all over my body.

I had taken a cold shower at the time, and the emotional shock worsened my condition, which is why I fainted so quickly afterward.

Paula saw that I wasn't speaking and shook my arm, "Did you hear what I said? Don't go! We can choose another way."

My thoughts were pulled back by Paula, and I patted her arm reassuringly, "Another way? If there was one, our investigation wouldn't be at a standstill. Not just you and me, even someone as professional as Vance hasn't come up with a solution yet, right?"

"But that bastard Lawrence is just waiting for you to fall into his trap. No, it's too dangerous," Paula shook her head.

I smiled, "The more dangerous it is, the more likely I am to get the truth I want, right? There's a saying, you can't gain anything without giving something first. If he admits to killing my child, I'll have the evidence."

As I said this, a flash of hatred crossed my eyes.

Child, Mommy won't give up the chance. In heaven, you must bless Mommy to get the evidence and send that bad man Lawrence to jail.

"But this kind of risk isn't worth it, Melinda!" Paula looked at me intently, still unwilling to give up persuading me.

I gave a bitter smile, "Paula, you know? Although it's dangerous, I don't want to miss the chance. This might be the last opportunity, and it's also a form of redemption for myself.

Since my child died, I haven't slept well for so many nights. Every time I close my eyes, I see my child's cold body. Even when I do sleep, I dream of my child calling 'Mommy' over and over again."

As I spoke, my eyes couldn't help but turn red again.

Paula held my hand, giving me strength, "Melinda, I heard that children in heaven choose their own mothers. Since she chose you, she will choose you again in the future. Don't lose hope. Everything will be fine. Even though your child has passed away, she might still be watching over you from heaven, protecting you."

I nodded, "Yes, my child is watching over me. For her, I will be fine and make Lawrence regret everything he did, avenging my child!"

Seeing the anger in my eyes, Paula knew she couldn't persuade me. She thought for a moment, "You can go, but we can't go unprepared. Knowing that Lawrence wants to harm you, we should plan carefully. I have some connections, and we can follow Lawrence's plan first and then slowly make our own."

"Okay!" I was touched and leaned on Paula's shoulder, "Thank you, Paula. What would I do without you!"

Then, I winked at her playfully, "Who are these connections? A guy? Hmm?"

"Just an ex-boyfriend! You still have the mood to be curious now!" Paula teased, tapping my nose.

We joked and laughed as we entered the mall.

Just as we were about to enter a store, my smile froze, and my eyes filled with uncontrollable hatred.

"Melinda, what's wrong?" Paula noticed my change in mood and asked softly.

Her voice brought me back to my senses, and I realized I had been gripping Paula's arm too tightly, leaving red marks.

I nodded slightly and looked at a woman in a red hot dress, with bright red lipstick and curly hair, standing in a store not far away, "See that woman in the red dress in the store ahead? That's Lawrence's mistress, Clara!"

Paula looked at Clara.

Clara was wearing the latest dress, with a diamond necklace that fell perfectly in the middle of her chest, looking both sexy and alluring.

Her high heels were also a limited edition red, and she carried a small black handbag.

Her entire outfit was clearly expensive.

Honestly, Clara could easily get any man she wanted with just a beckoning finger. She came from a good family and could easily find a suitable partner.

Why did she choose Lawrence, a poor man, and even become his mistress for him?

Since Lawrence's actions against me involved Clara, was it because they were alike and sympathized with each other, or was she just a pervert who enjoyed being disgusting?

"That bitch Clara! Just wait, I'll get revenge for you!" Paula suddenly whispered in my ear.

"Hmm?" I didn't quite understand Paula's words and looked at her in confusion.

Paula gave a sly smile, "A mistress like Clara, so flirtatious when seducing Lawrence, it's a shame only we and Lawrence saw it. If it weren't for the fact that we can't share it for others to see, I would have rushed in to record it.

But even without a video, we can't let this go. Melinda, listen to me, it's suffocating to hold in our anger. Sometimes we need to vent. How about we play the role of the wife confronting the mistress today?"

Of course, I wanted to.

Especially with Paula's passionate words, I felt a surge of impulse.

I even started to imagine how I would kick Lawrence and hit Clara, then throw the evidence in their faces. No one could want to beat Clara more than I did.

Since Lawrence knew I was aware of Clara's existence, it would be reasonable if I ran into Clara and couldn't resist hitting her.

Thinking this, my face flushed with excitement, "Okay."

Paula was thrilled with my agreement.

"Alright, watch me!"

Then I saw Paula take out her phone, open the camera mode, and walk straight to Clara.

"Miss, you look unique. May I have the chance to interview you?"

I originally thought Paula was going to confront her directly, and I was ready to follow her. But then I saw Paula with a friendly interview demeanor.

She really looked the part.

Paula was multi-talented and had done many hosting gigs before, all of which were well-received.

Clara glanced at Paula, her head slightly raised in a proud manner. Hearing Paula's words, she took it as a compliment and responded with pride and arrogance, "Who are you? Do you think you can interview me just because you want to?"
