Chapter 319
Smith left to help Karl book a ticket.
Karl glanced in the direction of the kitchen and called Peter.
“If it wasn’t for inviting me to eat and drink, I won’t say it.” Peter only met Karl by chance in Best Day last time.
Karl ran back to take over the Adams’ family by himself, and Best Day Clubhouse and AdamPic Media all threw them to him.
It doesn’t matter if you throw it all to him, after all, he also has shares in investors.
Karl’s situation now makes him more and more comfortable. He used to have time to have a meal and drink together, but now he is all right without looking for him.
Peter had unilaterally and secretly broke off with Karl countless times.
Where did Karl care what Peter said, Peter used to threaten him every time he wanted to jump off the building.
Karl said to him: “I will fly to country M tonight, and it will take about three or four days to return at the earliest. I’m not in Rostenvel, so help me take care of Alyssa.”
Peter was also very ostentatious, but didn’t dare to hang up Karl’s phone.
He asked slightly surprised: “Why are you going to country M for business trip?”
Karl said solemnly: “If there is something else, you can help me take care of Alyssa.”
“Yes!” Peter turned around and asked: “What the hell is so serious, and let me take care of Alyssa for you. Didn’t you tell me something?”
Peter was not an outsider, and had a deep friendship with Karl, so Karl didn’t get around, and directly told him the most important thing: “Gerald and I are half brothers.”
“Ah?” Peter’s reaction was very excited: “What’s the situation? Isn’t Gerald your aunt’s son? He is your brother, how about Luther?”
I have to say that Peter’s thinking diverged very strongly.
Karl ignored his question directly, and his voice was slightly lower: “I’m sorry to trouble you.”
“Go, go, don’t be so polite, I’m afraid, besides, even if you don’t tell me, just rely on Alyssa’s relationship with my family Tina, of course I have to take care of…”
“Ok.”
Karl hung up the phone, his eyes fell on the DNA identification report placed on the coffee table again, and he looked at it fixedly, put the phone aside, got up and went to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Alyssa just cut the green pepper.
Karl has a strong taste, and Alyssa doesn’t cook for him much now, so she finally has the opportunity to cook for him, so she will try her best to satisfy his taste.
Karl’s footsteps were very light. He leaned against the door and looked at her for a while. Seeing that Alyssa had cut the green peppers, he walked over and took a plate to her.
Alyssa was about to turn around to get a plate, when she found a plate coming by her side.
She took the plate and turned to look at Karl: “Why did you come in?”
“I’m hungry,” Karl said quietly.
But his gaze was fixed on Alyssa’s body.
“Why are you looking at me when you’re hungry? Go to the restaurant and wait, and it’ll be ready soon.” Alyssa said, pressing her elbow against him, pushing him outside.
Karl didn’t move, stretched out his hand to press on her shoulder, and said coldly, “I want to see you more.”
Alyssa was stunned, this man suddenly became so direct that she was a little uncomfortable.
Before Karl left, Alyssa began to feel a little uneasy.
“Take Smith and go to Country M. He has been with you for so many years, and he works reliably. He is not as good as Rostenvel City in foreign countries…” In fact, she wanted to talk about this when she was in the living room just now.
Karl raised his eyebrows, his voice was low and deep, with a faint dissatisfaction: “Do you look down on me or Smith?”
Alyssa didn’t want to continue this topic with this arrogant and confident man.
The plane booked for Karl by Smith was six o’clock in the evening.
Karl left for the airport at four o’clock.
In order to avoid suspicion, Alyssa did not send him off.
After Karl left, Alyssa’s life became a two-point and one-line life for the crew and family.
Go to the crew if have time, and continue to study new scripts the rest of the time.
…
When Karl arrived in Country M, it was the next morning.
When he came to Lina’s house with his luggage, Lina was looking at the newly hired craftsman to repair the yard.
Karl walked in with the suitcase, and shouted blankly, “Auntie.”
When Lina heard the sound and turned her head to look at Karl, she was stunned for half a minute before reacting, “Karl? Why did you come suddenly?”
Although she had tried to be as natural as possible, Karl still caught a trace of panic behind her expression.
Lina and his mother have been good friends since they were young, and their relationship is deep.
Two people who can be good friends must have something in common.
Even if he learned from Douglas that he had seen Lina at the location of the kidnapping case, Karl was only a little disgusted with Lina, but he didn’t think that Lina would do anything like that.
Lina was well-behaved since she was a child, and loved by the old man. She was well raised by the Adams’ family. She was shallow-minded and couldn’t do such vicious things.
Besides, there is no motivation.
However, even if she has no motivation, she should know something.
Karl put the suitcase in his hand upright, released his hand and strode forward to Lina. A pair of jet black eyes flashed with sharp light, as if he wanted to see through Lina: “Auntie thinks, I’m here specially. So what am I looking for?”
After his mother died, Karl came to live with Lina, but since then, she has not regarded Karl as a child.
No teenager in his teens can feel as deep as Karl.
From then on, Lina felt that she had not seen through this child.
Lina’s expression stiffened for a moment, and said, “Don’t you tell me where I know what’s going on when you came to see me? You came from Rostenvel City? You must be tired after flying on the plane for so long. , Your room has been reserved.”
After she finished speaking, she turned around and told the servant: “Help Karl get the luggage and take him to the room to rest.”
Immediately a servant walked up to help Karl with his luggage: “Sir, please here.”
Karl glanced at Lina deeply, then turned and followed the servant to the room.
The servant sent Karl to the room and left. Karl closed the door, took out his mobile phone and prepared to call Alyssa. After checking the time, he found that it was eleven o’clock.
There is a time difference between country M and home. It is night back at home, and Alyssa may already be asleep at this time.
Karl did not call Alyssa again, but sent a text message: “Here.”
He put the phone down after sending the text message, and the phone rang to remind him of the new text message.
It was Alyssa’s text message back to him: “Have you just arrived? Have you eaten yet? Have you seen your aunt? What are you going to say?”
Chapter 320
Karl looked at the series of question marks above and curled his lips.
The long finger taps a few times on the screen: Go to sleep.
Alyssa on the other side read the two text messages sent by Karl back and forth twice.
The two text messages add up to only five characters, which is a pity.
“Then you call me tomorrow, come back early, and I will go to bed.”
Alyssa sent the text message and only received two words from Karl: “Good night.”
Karl dropped his mobile phone, took a shower, changed his clothes, and went out to find Lina.
The reason why he chose to come to Country M at night was not to be discovered by Trevor so quickly.
If he chooses to come to Country M during the day, Trevor will know that he has not gone to the company, and he will naturally know that he has come to Country M to look for Lina.
He rushed over overnight. At this moment, Trevor should have known that he had come to Country M. However, it would take more than ten hours to fly from Rostenvel to Country M. Even if Trevor is coming, it will be more than ten hours later.
He has more than ten hours to “talk” with Lina, so he is not in a hurry.
The hall was very quiet, and there was no figure of Lina.
Karl asked the servant, “Where is your Madam?”
The servant replied respectfully: “Madam is resting in the room.”
Karl glanced upstairs. Although he hadn’t been to Lina’s house for many years, he still remembered Lina’s room.
He went upstairs, walked to the door of Lina’s room, raised his hand and knocked on the door: “Auntie.”
The people in the room didn’t respond, Karl raised his lips, turned and left without any smile.
After a long time, Lina came downstairs.
“Karl, you just looked for me?” Lina apologized: “I fell asleep accidentally in the room. I heard you call me in a daze. I thought I was dreaming.”
“If aunt is tired, she can rest more.”
Karl’s tone was faint, and he couldn’t hear any emotions, but his eyes did not leave Lina.
Lina seemed to be uncomfortable with him, she smiled reluctantly: “Fortunately, I am getting older, it’s summer again, it’s always easy to lose energy.”
“The aunt should pay attention to body. You haven’t waited until your elder brother gets married, and you haven’t had time to hold your grandson. Don’t be like grandfather.
Karl’s voice was already low, but he deliberately slowed down his speech, which sounded a bit gloomy.
Lina was stunned for a moment, and then turned the topic to Elder Adams: “How is dad? Is he better?”
Karl tilted his head slightly, his long fingers tapped on the armrest of the sofa beside him, and the words he said seemed a little careless: “Why don’t you care about him so much, why don’t you go back to the country with your uncle? Brother and Luther is also in the country.”
“Your uncle and I are also discussing this matter recently…” Lina lowered her eyes, not going to see Karl.
The two of them talked about it, and they were all talking about unimportant things.
Karl had been observing Lina and found that every time she looked at him, she would hurriedly glance away and change her sitting position from time to time.
As the eldest lady of the Adams’ family, Lina had a dedicated etiquette teacher since she was a child, and she has always been elegant, but her series of behaviors at this time all expressed her nervousness and anxiety.
Karl felt it was time.
Just after Lina finished speaking, Karl never spoke.
The hall was quiet for a few seconds. When Lina reached out to touch the water glass in front of her for the third time, Karl said quietly, “Auntie, I want to ask you something.”
Lina seemed to be frightened, and suddenly retracted his hand: “What’s the matter?”
After speaking, she also realized that she was too uncomfortable just now, so she had to reach out to hold the water glass and take a sip to her lips.
Karl directly took out the DNA identification report and threw it on the coffee table in front of her.
Lina glanced at him before slowly reaching out for the DNA identification report.
Her face turned pale bit by bit, and finally her entire face was panicked. When she spoke again, she couldn’t say a complete sentence incoherently: “This…Karl…this…”
Karl looked at Lina’s panic with cold eyes, and his tone no longer concealed a gloomy tone: “Aunty, don’t you explain? Everyone knows that you and uncle were together when studying abroad. You were 18 years old. You gave birth to Gerald, but why is Gerald’s biological father your elder brother.”
In the last two sentences, Karl deliberately increased his tone.
When they were young, Trevor and his mother also seemed to be affectionate.
However, when Karl grew up and then looked back on his childhood, he vaguely felt that the affection was an illusion.
Adults are very good at acting and very deceptive.
For a long while, Lina couldn’t say a word, and the whole hall was filled with a trembling silence.
Lina steadied her mind and said with a trembling voice, “Gerald… is indeed the son of brother, but you have to believe that he really loves your mother…”
Karl just sneered and did not speak.
Lina probably also understood that this kind of words couldn’t convince Karl.
After a pause, Lina continued: “At that time, I was indeed pregnant, but my child was born prematurely and died not long after birth. At that time, your father also took over Adams’s House. The thoughtful woman took the opportunity to come in. Although he wanted to dismiss that woman, it was his flesh and blood after all, and my child just died, so he brought the child over to raise…”
This passage sounds flawless.
It is also justified.
Karl did not say whether he believed it or not, but just asked, “Does Gerald know about this?”
“He…should know it.” Lina’s expression was a little hesitant.
Karl asked, “Uncle also knows about this?”
Lina’s expression had returned to normal, and she said softly, “Yes, Preston knows it too.”
Karl narrowed his eyes, “Uncle is not at home, where did he go?”
Lina smiled and said, “He is holding an exhibition recently and has been out for more than a month.”
When she finished speaking, a servant came over: “Madam, the meal is ready.”
“Well, let’s eat first, you should be hungry too.” Lina stood up and said softly.
She became the wife of the elegant artist again, with no trace of panic on her face.
Karl lowered his eyes and followed her to the restaurant.
At the huge dining table, only the two of them ate, none of them spoke, and the atmosphere was a bit stiff.
After a while, Karl took the lead to put down his chopsticks: “I’m done.”
When Lina watched Karl leave the restaurant, the expression on her face gradually turned away.
