Chapter 152
There was a clear pond in the small park next to the orphanage, where the willow trees on the bank
drooped down on the shore and swayed in the wind.
Tabitha and Chadwick sat on a stone chair with their eyes slightly closed. The early summer sun was
shining warmly on them, which caused one to feel hazy and lazy suddenly.
It seemed that she had not relaxed like this for a long time. Tabitha could not help but close her eyes
and take a deep breath.
Chadwick sat beside her and looked at her pale face. He could not help but feel sad.
Thinking of what the doctor said, he felt that Tabitha would suddenly disappear someday and leave
nothing behind.
By then, his world would fall apart.
Chadwick asked, “Tabby, you like this peaceful life very much, don’t you?”
“Of course.” Tabitha opened her eyes and looked at him. Her hazel pupils turned cold for an instant
when she said, “But I want to avenge my parents more.”
Therefore, she could only enjoy the peace for a short time.
“Tabby, leave Mr. and Mrs. Jarvis‘ matter to me. Trevor and Colette will also help you. Please don’t
worry about these things anymore, okay?” he coaxed.
Hearing these words, Tabitha was a little surprised. She asked curiously, “What’s wrong with you,
Chadwick?”
“Heaventown is beautiful. I’ll take you there.” Chadwick said as he gently

held her hand, his handsome face full of hope. “On a sunny afternoon, we can brew a cup of tea, and
like now, sit on the riverbank while enjoying the breeze and talking about little things. Don’t you think it’s
good?”
Tabitha was in a daze.
Chadwick had spoken so well that she could admit she was moved.
That kind of life was beautiful just thinking about it.
However, Heaventown was the place where her parents had their accident. She had yet to avenge
them, so how could she live such a happy life at
ease?
“Thank you.” Tabitha gently shook Chadwick’s hand and said, “You have already helped me a lot. I
must find out what happened to my parents personally.”
“Tabby, if Mr. Jarvis and Mrs. Jarvis are alive, they will not want to see you work so hard.” Chadwick’s
voice was a little eager. “Come with me. It doesn’t have to be Heaventown. We can find a quiet place,
live peacefully, and never be drowned in hatred again.”
Colette, who followed from a distance, froze as soon as she heard these
words.
She thought, ‘Didn’t Chadwick say he doesn’t like Tabitha romantically? Why is Chadwick trying to take
Tabitha away before she even leaves the Sinclair family? If that’s not love…
Colette reached out and touched the bracelet hidden under her sleeve. Suddenly, she felt the coldness
of the bracelet, which spread to the depths of her heart.

Tabitha, who had never seen this side of Chadwick before, stared blankly at him.

She pondered, ‘Chadwick is a man in the prime of his life. Surely, he wouldn’t harbor feelings for me
that he should not have had. Did he hear any bad rumors?‘
“Chadwick, after I put Naomi and Giuseppe in prison, I will leave Xosa,” Tabitha explained.

“No, listen to me,” Chadwick said in agitation. “We’ll do all these things for you. You really should have
a good rest.”
The young man, who had always been gentle as the spring breeze, looked a little sharp. The firmness
carved in him showed in an instant.
Tabitha was shocked. “Chadwick, what’s wrong with you?”
Chadwick was afraid of scaring her, so he calmed down a little and said, “Since you won’t listen to me,
let us help you together…”
Colette could not hear what else they talked about after what she did. At this moment, she seemed to
have discovered a secret. It turned out that Tabitha was more important than anyone in Chadwick’s
eyes, and he did not want to see her hurt at all.
Colette left the orphanage alone without saying goodbye to Chadwick and the others.
Instead of going to the law firm, Colette went home and simply sat there. It was getting dark, and she
could hardly see the things in the room. She felt that there were ghosts and shadows around her. Her
heart seemed to be entangled with something, and she almost could not breathe.:
At seven–thirty, her phone rang. It was Tabitha.
Tabitha was reluctant to miss the opportunity to obtain evidence and called her to ask if the mysterious
number was credible.
Of course, it was not.

Colette could conclude that it was a trap set by Naomi. If Tabitha went to the appointment, she would
fall into hell from then on.
As Tabitha’s most trusted counselor, Colette should tell her immediately that she should not go.
However, at the thought of Chadwick holding Tabitha’s hand in the park and saying so affectionately
that he would take her away, Colette could not pretend to have not seen that.
Colette suddenly asked, “Tabby, you still live with the Sinclair family, right? Is it possible that you and
Mr. Sinclair will get back together?”
“That’s impossible!” Tabitha found the thought of getting back together with Malcolm unacceptable. She
said in a cold and firm voice, “I won’t start over with him for the rest of my life.”
Colette’s heart froze, and she suddenly felt depressed, so she retorted coldly, “Mr. Sinclair has
changed. Why can’t you forgive him? Can’t you give him another chance?”
Tabitha frowned slightly and felt that Colette was a little strange at this time, so she probed, “Ms.
Ingram, what’s wrong with you? Did Malcolm say something to you?”

“No,” Colette replied coming to her senses feeling that she had overreacted.
She had no right to dissuade Tabitha without experiencing what the latter had.
Colette was a calm and rational lawyer. She should not have said something like that.
“I’m sorry, I just feel sorry for you. Mr. Sinclair has stopped seeing Naomi now, and he’s devoted to you.
Besides, he’s handsome and rich,” Colette reasoned.

Tabitha frowned and said, “Ms. Ingram, if Malcolm asked you to persuade me, I hope you can respect
me by not mentioning it again.”
“Sorry.” Colette’s fingers held the phone tightly. She felt like something was stuck in her throat and was
in pain. Seconds later, she finally said, “The anonymous number could be Naomi’s enemy. Since they
say they have the evidence, you should give it a try. You can go there to meet them first. Don’t worry. I
will be there right after you.”
When Colette finally got down to business, Tabitha asked, “Should I call the police first?”
Colette denied her suggestion. “No, it’s easy to alert them if you call the police. I’ll rush over to meet
you now. You go and keep them distracted first.”
“Okay,” Tabitha agreed. She went to get the money and soon arrived at Serendipity of Abundance
Resto.
She had been here once before. Emmanuel fought here, which means this was a messier place than
the Four Seasons Bar. Tabitha was careful and turned her phone’s brightness to the standard setting
so that if something happened, she could call the police immediately.
Naomi hid in the corner and watched Tabitha come over. She put on her sunglasses and followed the
latter quietly.
Tabitha stood outside the door of Serendipity and did not immediately
enter.
She looked around and sent a message to Colette: [Are you here?]
Colette quickly replied: [I’m on my way. I’ll be there in about ten minutes.]
After sending the message, Colette held the steering wheel in her hand and hesitated for a moment
before stepping on the accelerator to the maximum.

Three minutes later, Colette arrived at Abundance Resto, but instead of contacting Tabitha immediately,
she stood at the entrance and observed it for a while. Then she moved to Serendipity in light steps and
hid in a
corner.
Tabitha was standing outside Serendipity, keeping an eye on the time and information, when the
anonymous number called her.
“I saw you. If you want the video, bring money in exchange for it.” Before Tabitha could speak, that
person said, “I’ll only give you three minutes.”
Tabitha frowned, feeling that the other was too impatient and a little strange. She had to wait for Colette
before she could go in, so Tabitha questioned, “How can I be certain that you really have the complete
video?”
