Before Carla could respond, Lena hung up.
Gripping her phone, Carla felt perplexed. She did not know why Lena had the letter. Perhaps, it was a trap or a bait, but she still wanted to find out the letter's contents.
Even so, after going through so much, Carla was wary.
She decided to call Brad, who she had not contacted for a long time.
Soon, the call connected. The man excitedly greeted, "Carla!""Brad, do you still have the letter my Dad sent you?" Carla asked without hesitation.
"Yes, of course, " Brad replied. "It is in my house at Aymo City, but I am now in F Nation. What's wrong? Did something happen to you? I'll rush over."
"No, it's alright." Carla hurriedly stopped him. "I was just wondering about what the letter said."
"Well…" Brad was stumped.
"Is it a secret about my Dad's bankruptcy?" Carla queried. "Did he tell you who set him up in the letter?"
"Why do you want to know?" Brad blurted. Then, he immediately comforted her, "The matter happened a long time ago, so you don't have to bother about it anymore. Your dad did not want me to tell you about these things because he did not want you to be involved."
"I know."
Carla knew how Brad was like. He would not reveal anything if he did not want to no matter how much she asked.
"Are you alright?" Brad asked worriedly.
"Yes, I am okay." Carla pretended casually to make a passing statement, "Lena wants to have lunch with me."
"What? You still have business with Lena?" Brad sounded glad. "That's great news! You have nobody else to rely on over there. If anything happens, you can get her to help you. She is also a woman, so it would be easier for both of you to communicate."
"Ok." Carla smiled. "I am about to leave. We plan to meet at Silver Diamond Restaurant."
"Okay, I will give her a call soon and ask her to look after you, " Brad cheerfully exclaimed.
"Thank you, Brad."
After the call ended, Carla prepared to head out. Within half an hour, she reached the restaurant.
Lena booked the whole place, and there were no guests nor attendants in sight.
There were only a few bodyguards outside. They looked grim and dull.
As soon as she stepped into the restaurant, Carla felt like she was in danger. Despite so, she was not scared as she knew she had Brad as her backing.
"Should I say that you're stupid, or should I praise you for being courageous?" Lena sat in the middle, glaring at Carla. "You knew that you would be in danger, but you still came?"
"You can't touch me." Carla gave the other woman a death glare. "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"Sometimes, I can't understand you." Lena mocked, "Lola abused you in the past, yet, you still helped her? Are you Mother Mary?"
"Did you make me come here so that you can say that?" Carla retorted, "I already told the police everything. There is nothing else we have to discuss in private."
"You should know that the Whytes are no match for me." Lena warned, "I hope you do not act rashly."
"You have overestimated me." Carla chuckled in response. "I don't plan to be nosy, but I was only carrying out the duty of a citizen."
"Are you telling me that you are prepared to fight against me till the end?" Lasers were shooting out from Lena's eyes. "You should know what the consequences are."
"I told you that I would not be nosy, " Carla emphasized. "I only told the police the facts. I will not speculate and tell them things I am not sure about. On the other hand, I will tell them everything I am certain of."
"Very well." Lena's lips curled up into a smile. She did not continue and only gave a hand signal.
Two bodyguards aggressively approached Carla.
Meanwhile, the latter did not move and simply stared at Lena's phone.
