Back then, she offered a considerable hush money in exchange for Cora Lowell's promise.
Stay away from Landon Lockwood, and never disturb him again.
But now, the person is missing, yet Cora Lowell shows up, still wearing lipstick!
"A few days ago, I was afraid you'd misunderstand, so I made sure to inform you about visiting the hospital."
"You say I'm unreliable? Then tell me, which step did I not inform you about?"
She chuckled lightly.
"I can't bear such a heavy blame."
The laughter was soft, tinged with mockery.
She tilted her head slightly, meeting the fiery gaze of Clara Jennings.
"Where Landon Lockwood has gone, how would I know? What do you take me for? A personal secretary? Or a monitor?"
Before leaving, she casually applied a layer of lipstick.
She slowly took out a dark red lipstick from her bag.
She twisted open the cap and gently applied it to her lips.
She knew this scene would be remembered and scrutinized over and over.
Otherwise, it would be too obvious.
