True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1999

"You don't need to know." Yandrea brushed him off, not wanting to explain the matter. "Alright. I'm hanging up if there's nothing else."

"What are you hiding from me? Tell me what's going on!" Lowell was so anxious that even his breath was uneven. "Don't hang up now! I know there must be a reason for you to say that."

"Don't be paranoid." Instead of answering him, Yandrea joked.

"Stop laughing, will you? Did Gary come to you before I did?" Lowell's gut feeling was telling him that Yandrea must know something from the way he was acting.

"He didn't," Yandrea denied immediately.

However, Lowell did not buy it. He was sure that Gary had gone to Yandrea asking for a favor too.

"You know you can't fool me." With that, his voice was grave. "You know me. I won't come asking for a favor this easily. But you sound so weird today, even I could tell."

Yandrea paused, reflecting on his poor performance that gave it away to Lowell.

Therefore, he sighed, "Alright, you caught me. I shouldn't be telling you this, but since you found out, I'll explain it to you."

"So Gary did come to you for something." In the end, Lowell was right, but he was still shocked to hear it. "When did this happen?"

"About 17 hours ago, he asked me to follow Janice and check her whereabouts the past four months," Yandrea said.

"Is that so?" Lowell said, shocked to find out that Gary was worried about Janice. He didn't expect Gary to be so prepared.

On the other hand, he was embarrassed that he had reacted slower than Gary.

17 hours ago... Gary was still faster.

"Yup." Not trying to hide, Yandrea told him everything, "I can kind of guess what's going on between the three of you."

"The three of us?" Lowell frowned.

"You, Gary, and Janice." Yandrea continued, "I discovered the problem between the three of you two years ago."

Lowell felt a little embarrassed thinking of the time when Yandrea had offered him some advice back then.

"I warned you and Gary both," said Yandrea, "Now he's paying for being arrogant while you are paying for having something you shouldn't. If I have to be honest, neither of you can escape this."

Lowell's expression changed. Finally, he closed his eyes in pain. "Help me with this investigation as per Gary's request. When the results are out, give me a copy too."

"Well, since you are this eager to know, I'll show you some kindness by telling you one of the results that I got last night."

"That fast? You got to be kidding me." Although he had always known that Yandrea was a fast worker, Lowell never expected him to be this efficient.

"I found out that Janice made a seven-minute-long call to Celeste."

"They were in contact?" Lowell was shocked. "Why would Janice have Celeste's number?"

"Don't you know the answer?" Yandrea laughed, "Just a while ago, I found out that you called Celeste a few days ago, and the call lasted around ten minutes."

"Me and Celeste? Ten minutes long?" The more he heard from Yandrea, the more surprised Lowell was. "I've been in contact with Celeste before, but we never talked for more than 2 minutes. Could you be mistaken?" "According to my investigation, you had two calls with her. The first one was almost ten minutes, and the other was no longer than three minutes. The interval between these two calls was one day." Yandrea went into the details.

Suddenly, something dawned onto Lowell. He recalled something from the calls.

Before he could say anything, Yandrea spoke again, "Why don't you try to think back? Did you leave your phone somewhere, or did someone use your phone?"

"Must be Janice." Lowell gritted his teeth. "She must have taken my phone from my pocket that day at the hospital."

Unable to hold it in any longer, Yandrea laughed out loud. "How could a big guy like you fail to keep your phone by your side? Hilarious."

Right then, Lowell was depressed. He had been wondering how his phone went missing for half an hour that day.
