Chapter 145 Wired Gift
"Ah! Don't come here!"
All the lights in the room were turned on at once.
Lara was hiding in Chloe's arms. Chloe patted her on the back lightly and sighed.
"I really thought that there was something strange in your room. Look at it carefully. It is the curtain. You sleep without closing the window. The wind blows in and blows up the gauze curtain. The hand you mentioned is just the gauze."
As Chloe said this, she asked Lara to see it herself.
Lara looked at it carefully for a while, only to realize that the ghost that she had been mistaken for was really just gauze.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
"Did I really misjudge it?"
"Maybe it was because you have been under too much psychological pressure recently."
In fact, Chloe was somewhat speechless because Lara got frightened by a curtain and awoke everyone in the house in the middle of the night.
But seeing Lara's pale face, she couldn't blame her.
She just patted her hand, "Alright, don't think too much. There is nothing scaring. Go to bed early."
As she said this, she left with a group of people.
Lara stood there, opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she didn't say it.
Lena gave Lara a reassuring look before she left.
In the corridor, Chloe stopped and asked Lena, "Is Lara still in touch with people in Flaucford?"
Lena replied respectfully, "It has been checked, and they haven't given us a certain reply yet, but the thing has been confirmed to be true. I think they will reply to us soon."
Chloe frowned and looked a little dissatisfied.
Lena said in a hurry, "After all, their child has been missing for more than 20 years. It is normal for them to be cautious. Their family is so wealthy and powerful, if Lara is confirmed to be their child, they will definitely help her."
Chloe snorted heavily.
"This matter is related to the entire Chapman family, and there must be no slips. Lara's future, as well as the future of our family both depend on this matter. You must be careful."
Lena agreed quickly, "I know, mom."
Chloe didn't say anything else and left with the servants.
Looking at Chloe's back, Lena let out a sigh of relief.
Gianni stepped forward from behind and snorted coldly.
"It was me who managed to marry Sierra so that the Chapman family could make so much money. But she actually wants to give all of our properties to my nephew and doesn't take me to heart at all. How hateful she is!"
Lena smiled slightly.
"The Chapman family means nothing." She lowered her eyes slightly, and a scheming smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"If we really succeed, Lara will become so noble and powerful. At that time, even the Jones family and the Duncan family will have to kneel on the ground and flatter us, let alone the Chapman family. Gianni, we should keep a long-term perspective. People who seek after petty gains can't make a fortune."
Gianni's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"You're right. We must succeed! There is no room for error in this matter!"
The two returned to the bedroom with ambition. At this moment, Lena suddenly stopped.
"What is this?"
There was an exquisite white gift box on the bedside table, and there was a bow-tied by a pink ribbon on the box. Obviously, someone put it there deliberately.
"Gianni, did you buy this for me?"
Lena thought that Gianni bought this gift for her and wanted to surprise her, so she asked with joy.
However, Gianni frowned.
"No."
Saying this, he looked at Lena suspiciously.
Lena's face suddenly changed.
"What do you mean by looking at me like this? Only you and me are in this room. Since neither of us put it here, was it put by a ghost?"
As soon as she said this, they felt a shiver running down their spines.
Both of their expressions suddenly changed slightly, and they felt scared for no reason. Finally, Gianni coughed lightly.
"Alright, just open it and have a look! What are you suspicious of?"
Lena thought he was right, so she stepped forward and opened the box.
There was no precious gift in the box. There was only a piece of worn-out painted metal and a note inside.
Lena frowned and picked up the piece of paper.
In the next second, her face changed drastically.
"Ah!"
She scream, took a step back, and suddenly threw the note on the bed.
"What's wrong? What's the content?"
Gianni picked it up curiously and had a look. When he saw the writing on it, his face suddenly changed.
On the sky-blue note, there were a few beautiful words.
"I am back!"
"It's her. She's back! Her soul came to us for revenge!"
Lena was frightened. With a straight face, Gianni held the note fiercely and then looked at the aluminum sheet in the box.
It was a piece of metal aluminum that had been painted off after being violently rubbed, and even the laymen could easily find that it was a part of a car.
"I don't believe it! There is no ghost in this world! I was not afraid of her when she was alive. How could I be afraid after she died?"
After listening to his words, Lena calmed down slightly.
"But... what's going on with this?"
"Humph, someone must have put it here on purpose to frighten us!"
As he said this, he picked up the things in the box and walked out.
At this moment, another sharp scream came from the corridor.
It was from Lara's room.
Their expressions changed as they walked towards her room together.
Before reaching the door, they saw Lara running out with a frightened face again. This time, almost her whole body was trembling, and her face was full of tears.
As soon as she saw Lena and Gianni, she immediately rushed to them as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"Mom!"
Lena hugged her in a hurry. Lara cried in her arms, "Mom, I heard that woman's voice again. It's so horrible. It's true, not my illusion. She really comes back!"
If it was just now, Lena might still not believe her.
But since she had experienced such a wired thing herself, she naturally believed Lara's words even more.
"Don't be afraid. I'll go in with you and have a look."
"But…"
Lara was still a little scared. Gianni roared sharply, "What are you afraid of? We have so many people. If there is really a ghost, could it kill you in font of us?Follow me!"
Saying that, he took the lead and entered her room.
Everything was as usual in the room.
The lighting and the furnishings in the room were exactly the same as they were when Gianni went out.
Except that the bed became more messy because Lara left in a panic, there was no other abnormality.
Gianni walked to the French window with his face darkened, and carefully checked the curtains.
