Getting Him Hooked: Mr. Freeman’s Indifferent Sinner Wife Chapter 21

Buying groceries?

Uncle Wallace did not quite believe that happened.

Olivia was the darling daughter of the Larson Family, so she had never stepped foot inside the kitchen. Even after she married John, she did not even do the laundry once. So, why should she go out for groceries while the foster daughter sits at home?

In fact, he called Ms. Larson, but nobody picked up.

He always felt that Dorothy had some bad intentions, but he could not speak up because of his position.

Thus, he did not question her directly. Instead, he chose

to observe her.

“Are you here as a guest, Ms. Ellis?”

Dorothy pointed to her chest and said, “I’m hurt, so Olivia told me to come here for some peace.”

After that, she grinned and poured Uncle Wallace a glass of water. “Olivia also mentioned that you were coming, so she wanted you to have a taste of her cooking. That’s why she went out for groceries.”

Uncle Wallace did not completely believe her. He swirled the glass and smiled. “Ms. Larson is a very nice person.

She treats this old man well too.”

“That’s right. Olivia has always been like that.”

Dorothy looked at the box and pretended to ask casually, What’s in that box, Uncle Wallace?”

“Oh, I mean to give it to Ms. Larson. Nothing of value, really.”

Dorothy was a little paranoid about it. The box looked like it belonged to the Larson Family.

A parcel that the Larson Family’s housekeeper brought all the way here must be something special. It was either money or evidence.

She surmised that it might be evidence.

In the past, she was the Larson Family’s foster daughter. Besides, she has done a few bad things to the Larson Family, so she might have left a piece of evidence or two around.

The most important thing was, it has been two years but she could not find the will of Hans Larson, the head of the Larson Family.

That alone made her quite unhappy already.

Thus, she stood up and reached for the box. “In that case, I’ll put this aside for Olivia, then.”

However, before Dorothy could grab the box, Uncle

Wallace swiftly grabbed it and held it in his arms, denying

her. “No need for that. This box has all of Ms. Larson’s pictures from when she was a child. Surely, she would want to look at them right away.”

Dorothy’s arms hung in the air as she replied, “True.”

“However, I have never seen Olivia’s childhood pictures. I want to look at them. I want to see if I’m in those

pictures.”

“No, these are Ms. Larson’s family pictures.”

Uncle Wallace had seen through Dorothy. However, he was unsure of what happened to Olivia. That’s why he did not make any sudden moves.

If he knew that Ms. Larson somehow ended up in the emergency room because of Dorothy, he would confront her there and then.

Dorothy was anxious. After all, Wes was about to come

home.

Driving from the peninsular to Smiles Road would take thirty minutes, usually. Fifty minutes, “ops.

Wes was already on the road for more than twenty minutes now. If she doesn’t come up with something, then Uncle Wallace would definitely see Olivia. The things inside the box would become a ticking time bomb. Sooner or later, she would be caught by the blast as well.

“Uncle Wallace, are you staying here tonight?”

“No, I’m not. Once I speak to Ms. Larson, I will leave.”

“But Olivia wants to see you. How about I bring you up to the other rooms?”

Besides the study, the mansion had five rooms.

Dorothy and Olivia both lived on the second floor. There was another room on the third floor.

Even though the Larson Family went bankrupt, Uncle Wallace still called her “Ms. Larson”. His honor would not allow him to sleep on the same floor as Olivia. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Dorothy did not even wait for Uncle Wallace to say no and said, “Uncle Wallace, I know that you separate masters and students. How about you sleep in the attic? The attic room is a little small and simple. If you won’t rest in any of the rooms, Olivia would think that I didn’t do a good job.”

Even though Uncle Wallace knew what bad intentions Dorothy had, Olivia never said anything about her. So, he simply nodded.

“That’s alright.”

Both of them went up to the third floor. After Dorothy opened the door to the attic, she let Uncle Wallace inside first before she took a baseball bat from the side and brought it down on him.
