Chapter 240: Who Was Her Real Mother?
"Ms. Chantelle, Mr. Bently said he’ll only sign the agreement if you meet him in person. He also said you’ll never learn the truth about your mother’s death unless you meet him," Calvin said as he handed her the Bently Corporation acquisition contract.
A lot had happened in the past few days, and Chantelle hadn’t had time to deal with Roman. However, Roman thought she was ignoring him on purpose and had been calling Calvin nonstop.
"The cause of my mother’s death?" Chantelle stood up and her face turned cold. All this time, she believed Ruby was her real mother, but now she wasn’t so sure.
Then who was her real mother?
She had once hired a private detective to look into Roman’s ex-wife. But there was nothing. No records. Not even a photo.
"I think Mr. Bently knows something that hasn’t been revealed," Calvin said.
When Roman talked to Calvin on the phone, he kept stuttering. Calvin tried to get answers, but Roman refused to say anything. He sounded cautious, and even afraid.
"He’s just desperate now. He’ll say anything to get what he wants," Chantelle muttered and walked out the door.
Chantelle never felt loved by her parents growing up. Because of that, she wasn’t really curious about her mother. She just wanted to know one thing: Did her mother leave her on purpose or not?
After hearing what she said, Calvin quickly sent more people to keep an eye on Roman. If Roman was planning something, they had to stop him before he acted.
"I was supposed to meet Mr. Bently at a coffee shop," Calvin said while driving. "But he told me he broke his leg and can’t move. So we have to go to his place instead. He lives in a slum on the north side. The place is in terrible shape. Do you think it’s a trap?"
