Chapter 1175: Louisa Lost Her Composure (part two)

"This is not a time to celebrate. I'm not sure that your friend would find me suitable for this job." Seeing Louisa happy, Claire found that she too was delighted. However, she couldn't help but remind her not to get carried away.

"Trust me! She has no choice. You're her last hope," Louisa said as she started the engine. She was thrilled to get this opportunity. She was tired of her father nagging her to find a job. If Louisa finished this task successfully, she could start her career in the fashion business at once.

"I hope so! But I have to call Leena first. She hasn't woken up when I came out. She would worry when she doesn't find me in the house." Claire took out her cell phone and dialed Leena's number, but the automated voice told her that Leena's phone was turned off. She suddenly remembered that Leena's phone had been smashed by those men yesterday. She also forgot that she had promised Kevin to help Leena apply the medicine on her injured back. But she was already out now. 'What can I do?' she wondered.

"What's up? No one answered the phone?" Louisa was displeased to hear Claire talk about Leena so intimately. But she was asking Claire for a favor. Even if she was annoyed, she couldn't show it.

"No, I forgot that her cellphone has been smashed. I will wait for her to call me back." Claire put her cellphone aside. Suddenly feeling like she shouldn't let this matter go, she picked up the phone and dialed again.

"Hi, Claire. What's up?" Kevin was examining the army tanks with the other officers. When he heard his phone ring, he walked away to pick up the call.

"Kevin, I have to go out, but I forgot to tell Leena. If she asks about me, tell her that I went out." Claire gulped, hoping that he was not in the middle of work. Otherwise, he would definitely scold her for disturbing him.

Can't you call her and tell her yourself?" Kevin frowned, thinking that Claire was making unnecessary trouble for him. "Wasn't her phone broken yesterday? I can't connect to her number." Claire stared at the ceiling of the car. It seemed that she was not the only one who had a poor memory.

"Oh! I forgot. Speaking of this, didn't I ask you to apply the medicine on her? Who will help her if you go out?" Kevin said, his voice rising. His loud tone attracted attention from the others around, so he hushed down.

"I was about to tell you. Don't be angry at me. I totally forgot about it when I came out! I won't be back anytime soon. Could you ask her to apply the medicine herself? Maybe with the help of a mirror?" Claire said, her tone apologetic. The whole thing about Leena had completely slipped her mind.

Okay, fine. I'll think about it later. I'm busy right now." Kevin furrowed his eyebrows. He turned around and looked at the other officers, who were glancing at him surreptitiously. He hung up at once.

Claire heard the disconnection beep and had no idea whether or not Kevin took offense. She had already promised Louisa that she'd go with her, so she was caught in a dilemma.

"Did they get into a fight? Why did Leena's phone get smashed? Did she get hurt in the fight?" Louisa brightened up at this piece of news. Her lips lifted in a smug smile.

"No, no. That's not what happened. Kevin and Leena are good with each other, how could they fight?" Claire blurted out without thinking. She completely forgot that she used to side with Louisa and that she had promised her to help her win Kevin. She didn't see Louisa's outraged expression at her words. "Claire, do you like Leena as your sister-in-law now?" Louisa gripped the driving wheel hard, gritting her teeth.

"Yes. Sorry, Louisa. I really can't do anything to help you. You know, Kevin doesn't have feelings for you." Claire looked at Louisa and shivered. She looked frightening.

"Is this the actual reason? Spit it out. You changed sides because she gave you a super-vip golden card, am I right?" If her friend didn't need Claire's help, Louisa would have driven Claire out of the car without hesitation. She was not a mild person by any means. Claire should know that she had a temper.

"No, that's not the reason. To be honest, we misunderstood her before. She didn't marry Kevin because of his family background. The truth is that she too is from a rich family. She doesn't have to work her way up through marriage." Claire felt flustered when she remembered that she often poked fun at Leena and mocked her background. But Leena's family background was way better than hers. Her family was richer and more powerful.

"What? She's rich? Claire, don't fool around with me. You must have been tricked by her. You're too simple and naive and she took advantage of this. She has a lot of tricks up her sleeve." Louisa felt amused to hear that Leena was from a rich family. She would never believe that. Since the first time Louisa had seen her, she took it for granted that Leena was a woman of humble origins.

"I'm not joking. I went to her family's house yesterday. Do you know about Leng Group? It's her family's business. Moreover, her sister-in-law is the CEO of YS Group. You can imagine how rich her family is." Claire had been dumbstruck when she got to know all of this yesterday. She had remained silent in the car when they left for home. She had still been lost in her thoughts when Leena was hit by the men.
