A look of disgust flashed past Samantha's beautiful eyes, and her expression suddenly froze.
I liked the way she couldn't stand me but couldn't kill me.
A figure alighted from the blue sports car.
The man was tall and slender. He was wearing a black leather jacket. He glanced at me before taking off his jacket and putting it on me.
His cold voice carried a hint of blame as he said, "Why didn't you put on a coat when it was cold at night?"
I looked up at him without blinking. I smiled. I hadn't seen the guy for a few years, but he had grown so much taller than me.
Not only was he taller, but he was also handsome with a kind of rascal charm. A Goro's feather necklace was hanging around his neck.
He had a perfect figure, broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs. His big eyes could charm a group of young girls at any time.
More importantly, he had a gentle and interesting personality and a rich family background. He had all kinds of friends around him.
After getting into the car, I didn't even look at Alex.
How did he get the right to break the rule, but I couldn't?
"Is that your handsome husband?" Marvin's lips curled into a smile. "He's really good-looking. I can't help but want to take a second look at him. The woman beside him is also quite beautiful, but I don't like her."
"Well, she wouldn't have taken a fancy to you, either," I teased, stifling a yawn.
Marvin glanced at me in disdain. "You didn't meet me in secret just to want me to be your shield and driver, did you?"
"Dawnlight was on fire tonight. Angela was almost trapped there."
A sharp and ear-piercing sound of brakes echoed in my ears, and my body swayed back and forth.
"I'm old. I can't take... shock." I frowned and raised my hand to rub my twisted neck.
Marvin's pupils constricted as he stared at me with his bright eyes. "Is it related to the case you asked me to investigate?"
"I don't know." I pursed my lips for a moment before speaking. "I wish I'd been overthinking."
"You've been unlucky ever since you got your marriage license. Maybe your handsome husband jinxes you." Marvin pursed his lips and spouted nonsense with a straight face.
"He can jinx me, but he can't jinx those people around me."
"That won't do. I can't live without you." Marvin looked at me pitifully and reached out to grab my arm.
I was already used to seeing him like that. I reached out and slapped his hand away. "I have to be on tenterhooks every time I see you."
"Do you think I'm not afraid?" Marvin's expression changed. "We're an ill-fated couple."
"I already have a husband." I rolled my eyes at Marvin. "I would have stayed away from you if I knew you were Angela's younger brother earlier."
Marvin immediately pulled a long face and looked at me with a dark expression. I pretended not to see him at all.
Marvin was Angela's half-brother. They were two years apart.
Why did Angela dislike Marvin so much? Naturally, it was Marvin's mother's fault.
Marvin's mother used to be best friends with Angela's mother, and the two had a good relationship.
However, I had always thought they were not best friends and would tarnish the word.
Perhaps after spending a long time together, Marvin's mother hooked up with Angela's father.
In the year Angela was born, her father betrayed her mother and even impregnated Marvin's mother.
The worst thing was that Angela was kept in the dark about the secret all along.
So much so that she did not know the little boy who used to follow behind her was actually her younger brother.
When Angela found out, she completely drew a line with Marvin.
As for me, I became the one who suffered the most. I couldn't bear to see Marvin crying, but I didn't dare to provoke Angela, who was filled with resentment.
I could only secretly contact Marvin.
Actually, the adult's fault had nothing to do with their children.
Perhaps it was because I felt the same way. After all, my identity was not that glorious.
That was why we felt like we appreciated each other.
In the end, I was afraid. I was afraid that one day, Angela would find out I was also an illegitimate daughter and would completely cut ties with me.
After all, she had never liked women who destroyed other people's families.
"Laurel, how could you say such hurtful words?" Marvin said sadly. Then he changed the topic. "I'll get someone to investigate the fire. Laurel, you'd better not go anywhere during this time."
I smiled. My gaze fell on the scar that was beginning to fall away from my wrist. I gently rubbed the wound. "Don't worry. No one can hurt me because those who hurt me usually end up badly."
"There's nothing suspicious about Vivian's death." Marvin sneered. "The less suspicious it is, the more suspicious it is."
After learning from Marvin that Vivian had died in an accident, not only did the advertising company pay a lot of money, but the property management building was also compensated accordingly.
The total compensation was one million dollars.
One million dollars was not a lot, but it was not a small sum either. It was a huge sum of money for an ordinary family.
Moreover, Vivian was not favored by her family. To put it bluntly, she was a burden.
"Vivian's father took the money and bought a house and a car for his son. He wasn't sad about Vivian's death at all." Marvin looked helpless.
"Her mother didn't get the money and went to cause trouble. She insisted on asking someone else for 300 thousand dollars before she let it go!"
I wasn't surprised at all. After all, Vivian's parents had never cared about her life or death.
Therefore, being alive was the greatest punishment for Vivian. Death freed her.
"What about Calum? Have you found the other two?"
After a moment of silence, Marvin looked up at me with a hesitant expression.
"What's wrong?" I asked suspiciously.
"Calum was imprisoned for drug use. The Wilcox family is looking for connections now, but they can't bail him out."
Upon hearing that, I was stunned. "When did that happen?" I asked.
"Calum was caught at a private party this morning." Marvin sighed. "If one plays with fire, one is going to get burned."
"Don't you think that retribution came a little too soon?"
"You mean someone is getting rid of these people?" Marvin was shocked. "You suspect it's Samantha?"
I shook my head. "I don't know. Don't act rashly for the time being."
Marvin nodded and reached out to touch his stomach. "I'm hungry. Why don't we have a barbecue and drink?"
I opened my mouth, then gave a final, selective nod.
Some things could not be rushed, but I had a faint feeling that the person who got rid of those people would not be Samantha.
I liked the way she couldn't stand me but couldn't kill me.
