Chapter 151
Naomi left immediately after getting the things. She was afraid that Malcolm would send someone to follow her, so she did not dare to stay too long.
However, neither she nor Giuseppe noticed that a slender figure with short hair had been sitting in the corner of the cubicle, listening to every word they said.
She held the cold coffee cup and rubbed it with her fingertips. No one knew what she was thinking about.
A beautiful bracelet slipped from her wrist, reflecting a cold light.
Naomi returned home and soon contacted a hooligan. After telling him something, she began to think about how to trick Tabitha into coming out.
Tabitha was too vigilant. If Naomi used an ordinary excuse, it would be difficult to fool Tabitha.
Naomi thought for a while and pulled up the video of Giuseppe killing that girl. She took several screenshots and sent them to Tabitha’s phone with her new number.
Tabitha was in the hospital at this time. Seeing these screenshots, her eyes instantly turned icy.
This unknown number was probably an enemy of Naomi or Naomi herself.
But no matter whose number it was, these screenshots made a few points. The other party had the proof of Giuseppe’s crime and was likely to give her the complete evidence, but Tabitha might have to pay a price for it.

Tabitha excused herself from Alaric and immediately went outside to call this unknown number.
She called a few times, but no one answered.
While looking at the unfamiliar number, Tabitha’s eyes flickered, and she immediately sent the screenshot and phone number to Colette and Trevor.
Colette seemed to have been waiting for Tabitha’s call because she called back within ten seconds.
“Tabby, who sent you these pictures?” Colette asked.
“It’s an unknown number.” Tabitha said, “I called them back, but no one answered.”
“I’ve seen the pictures. They are just a few vague images and cannot be used as evidence at all.” Colette said, “Pay attention to that number. Whatever happens next, let me know immediately.”
Tabitha nodded. “Okay.”
After ending the call, Tabitha tried to call the number again, but it still went unanswered.
Naomi triumphantly watched her phone ringing.
It had been four times, so she guessed that Tabitha was probably getting impatient.
Naomi waited a while before sending Tabitha a message: [I have the complete video. If you want it, bring 200 thousand dollars in cash and come alone to get it tonight at Serendipity of Abundance Resto.]
Tabitha was a little absent–minded and kept her attention on her phone. She would glance at the device from time to time.

Alaric felt a little strange and asked, “Tabby, is there anything wrong?”
“Nothing.” Tabitha made an excuse and said, “A patient with strange symptoms came to the clinic yesterday. If he comes again today, I’ll go back and have a look.”

Upon hearing that it was someone with strange symptoms, Alaric became somewhat unhappy. He persuaded her, “Tabby, the work at the clinic is tiring. Why don’t you stop? You can spend however much you want by informing me in advance.”
Tabitha smiled and said, “Grandpa Alaric, I don’t want to be a lazy bum.”
Alaric had no choice but to touch her hair gently. “You are so stubborn.”
At this moment, a text message came in.
Tabitha’s expression remained unchanged. After reading the message, she immediately said to Alaric, “The patient has arrived. I have to go back to the clinic first.”
“Okay.” Alaric said, “Why didn’t Malcolm send you here today?”
Tabitha replied, “Grandpa Alaric, he must be busy at the company. I’m fine alone.”
Hearing that Tabitha was still willing to make excuses for Malcolm, Alaric felt a little relieved. He said, “You may go back first.”
After saying goodbye to Alaric, Tabitha immediately forwarded the message to Colette.
At this time, Colette had just gotten out of the car. She was standing on the side of the road, reading the messages on her phone and then looking at the crowd around her. Her mind was in a mess.
The conversations she had heard in the morning at Honey Café went back and forth in her mind. She could hear a buzzing sound in her chest.

Colette was a lawyer who had always fought for justice and hated treacherous people.
Before she could figure out how to reply to Tabitha, she saw Chadwick walking toward her.

“Colette, why are you standing here in a daze?” Chadwick asked, “The sun is quite harsh. Come in quickly.”
Colette subconsciously put away her phone and followed him into the orphanage with a smile on her face.
She looked at Chadwick’s side profile.
He seemed to be in a bad mood these days. Even with a gentle smile on his face, the fatigue under his eyes was clearly visible.
He seemed to be more concerned about Luna’s disease recently. Every day, when he had time, he would go to the hospital and various institutions that provided bone marrow sources.
He was getting tired day by day, and his dark eye circles became darker at a visible speed. His whole person now looked thinner.
Colette said, “Chadwick, Tabitha just sent me a message.”
Chadwick, who seemed to be distracted just now, immediately came back to his senses and asked, “What did she tell you?”
Somehow, Colette suddenly became angry. No matter how hard it was to hide the restraining emotions at the bottom of her heart, they threatened to escape her throat immediately.
Chadwick did not seem to understand or hear what she said, but when he heard Tabitha’s name, he became so nervous.
Colette seethed internally, ‘Even if Tabitha saved his life and cured his eyes, she is a married woman. Why does he care about her so much?‘

Unable to get a response, Chadwick called out softly, “Colette?”
His gentle voice suddenly pulled Colette back from the edge of anger. She hurriedly showed the screenshot sent by Tabitha to Chadwick. “She sent me this and asked if I could use it as evidence.”
Chadwick looked at the picture on the phone and frowned deeper. “Has Tabby been investigating these things recently?”
“Yes” Colette looked at Chadwick’s expression and said, “She seems to be more eager than before. When she was pregnant in the past, she knew that she needed a rest. But now… She’s getting more relentless.”
Chadwick’s anxiety grew.
Colette said tentatively, “Chadwick, what happened eight years ago has been too long, and there is no evidence. Maybe Tabitha was really mistaken. It is possible that she can’t bear the sadness of her parents‘ death, so she takes it out on others.”
“She won’t be wrong!” Chadwick said firmly, “Tabby is a reasonable girl and won’t vent her anger at will.”
“But it’s not a good idea for her to investigate like this.” Colette was worried and continued, “I’m afraid she won’t be able to bear it one day.”
“I’ll persuade her.” Chadwick said, “She really shouldn’t be too distressed.”
Chadwick did as he said and immediately called Tabitha, “Tabby, are you free today? Luna wants to see you.”
Tabitha hesitated for a moment and quickly agreed, “Okay.”
Instead of going to the clinic again, she asked the driver to turn around and go straight to the orphanage.
When Chadwick saw Tabitha, the tenderness in his eyes could hardly be concealed, and his tone was unspeakably gentle. “Tabby, you’re here.”

Tabitha smiled and asked, “Where is Luna?”

Tabitha had not seen Luna for a while, so she missed that girl very much.
“Luna is asleep. Don’t look for her now. I have something to tell you.” Chadwick pulled Tabitha to the small park next to the orphanage.
Seeing the intimate and natural interaction between Chadwick and Tabitha, Colette followed them with her teeth gritted.
