Chapter 155

Ch. 155 / 324 Jul 29, 2025

Sara had no good impression of the servants of the Martin family, so when Madam Lawford suddenly called her to ask for a meeting, she refused without hesitation.

Most of the people in this world were snobbish, and the servants of the Martin family were the best. Everyone knew that Lilly did not like her, so they could use dirty methods to humiliate her, especially Madam Lawford.

The thing that Sara remembered most clearly was that when she finished all the chores that should have been done by Aunt Lyons after tidying up the garden and wanted to eat something, Madam Lawford poured the last bit of her food into the dog-eat-dog bowl in front of her.

Madam Lawford's mother noticed her intention and hurriedly said on the other side of the phone, "Second Miss, I know you don't like me, but I really have something important to tell you. It's about your mother!"

Sara frowned.

The Martin family wanted to use this trick to deceive her again?!

"Second Miss!" Madam Lawford's voice was a little strange, as if she was in extreme panic. With a trembling voice, she said, "Second Miss! You believe in me! I know the cause of your mother's death!"

"..." Sara pursed her lips. "I know the cause of my mother's death. I saw it with my own eyes."

"But you don't know who made her run out!" Madam Lawford said, "I'll wait for you at the drinks shop on Herbalist Road. As long as you give me a sum of money, I'll tell you everything!"

Sara replied, "I don't have any money."

Madam Lawford's mother's voice suddenly became fierce. "Second Miss! You're now Master Hank's man. You told me that you don't have money? Your mother loves you so much, but you don't even dare to investigate her true cause of death?!"

Sara: ""

Madam Lawford said quickly, "Hurry up, I don't have time!"

After that, he hung up the phone.

Sara looked at his phone in a daze for a long time, and then he asked with curiosity, "Whoosh? What's wrong?"

Sara paused for a moment and suddenly asked, "Freya, can you lend me some money?"

Freya said, "Sure, how much do you want?" She took out a card from her bag and said, "There are 100,000 in this card. Do you think it's enough?"

Sara took the card and said, "It should be enough. I will return the money to you in a few days. Thank you."

Freya scratched her head and asked, "What do you want to buy?"

Sara pinched the card in his hand. "Mm," he said. "It's something very important."

In the Star Café.

Madam Lawford's mother had been looking around, waiting to see Sara's figure. When she finally saw him, she immediately stood up and said, "Second Miss!"

There was no expression on Sara's little face. He let the waiter serve a cup of cookies and sat opposite to Madam Lawford. "How much do you want?"

Madam Lawford said, "Not much. It's just two hundred thousand Dollar. I want cash!"

She looked at Sara's delicate and gentle face and said, "Second Miss, you are now the best among the Martin family. 200,000 Dollar is just a piece of cake for you, right?"

Sara said, "I only have 50,000 Dollar. I don't have much." She paused and said, "It's cash. But I think your message may not be worth this price."

Madam Lawford was anxious. "How could it be possible! Only a few of me know about this news, and the people who know will not tell you!" She looked at the time anxiously. "Fifty thousand will be fifty thousand. Give me the money, and I will tell you immediately."

Sara whispered, "Mrs. Jones, are you in a hurry? By right, if you lack 200,000 Dollar, they won't be so stingy to borrow it from the Martin family, right?"

Madam Lawford's mother's face changed greatly.

For the first time, she felt that the Second Miss was very difficult to deal with.

"... My son owed us a loan." Madam Lawford gritted her teeth and said, "He owed more than one million Dollar. I didn't dare to borrow so much from his wife. I could only borrow five hundred thousand Dollar. If she knew that my son had contact with those people, she would not let me go."

"Who is it?"

For the sake of money, Madam Lawford's mother was no longer loyal. She said, "Madam has been helping a drug trafficking group to get money. Those people will give her dividends. Otherwise, how do you think that Martin Pharma has always been indifferent? Where did she get the money to buy millions of dollars of jewelry? Even Miss Elder doesn't know about this matter, and I heard it by accident. When I went home, I said that my son was crazy for money and wanted to get involved, but he didn't get in it at all. He was also affected by drugs. He didn't dare to tell me, so he was cheated to borrow a loan money..."

Tears were streaming down her face as she spoke. She said in a choked voice, "If it weren't for this reason, I wouldn't have come to make a deal with you! I used to think that this matter would have been ruined in my belly!"

Sara lowered his eyelashes and placed the 50,000 Dollar wrapped up in a newspaper in front of Aunt Lyons. "Go ahead."

Madam Lawford's mother wiped her tears and said, "Your mother did commit suicide, but her body was not that bad when she was only 30 years old. Your premature birth was caused by the wife. She knew the existence of you and your mother, so she was very angry. She took her sister to find your mother and poured her a bowl of immortality medicine. The bowl of medicine was made by me. I used to have some medicine in the medicine shop, so I knew it. At that time, I knew it was a bowl of pregnancy medicine, but I didn't dare to say anything... Because of the fetus medicine, your mother's premature birth, and your mother was also greatly weakened and almost died.

When you were four or five years old, your mother went to see your mother again. You should remember that I went with her at that time. I heard your mother say that there was a born in the bowl of medicine that year, and she had been using it all the time. This also led to your mother's death at such a young age. I still remembered that your mother threatened your wife. I didn't hear clearly about it, probably because I wanted your mother not to hurt you..."

Sara clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with rage that had been suppressed as much as possible. "... So you're saying, it's Lilly who killed my mother?"

"Madam wanted your mother to die. That's good." Madam Lawford reached out and put the money into her bag. "That's all I know. I'll go first!"

"Wait." Sara stopped her and put another 50,000 Dollar on the table. "Mother, you said before that she helped drug trafficking gangs to earn money. Do you have any evidence?"

Madam Lawford's mother was a little afraid, but she was really reluctant to give up the money. She sat back and said, "What evidence can I have... But I know that she has an account book and a few contracts, all of which are related to the drug trafficking group. They are all in her safe. I don't know anything else."

Sara asked, "Can you get those things?"

Madam Lawford's mother was startled and said, "How could that be possible! Only Mr. and Mrs. Jones know the password!"

Sara paused for a moment and asked, "Does Yen know about it?"

Madam Lawford's mother thought for a moment. "I don't know, but my wife didn't say anything. It's just that the safe has always been used by my wife, and you don't have to care about it."
