Chapter 592 French Restaurant
"Noah, find someone to clean up the scene first."
"By the way, make a list of them. I'll definitely get it back."
If he didn't get it back from Gian, he would get it back from the mastermind.
In short, Mr. Valentine would not let himself suffer losses.
Noah answered, "Yes."
"Send Mr. John back to rest. During this period of time, he should rest well and continue to work after he has recovered."
Owen looked depressed. "That's the only thing I can do now."
Without the subject of the experiment, the research that he had done halfway was interrupted.
Beau noticed his depression and comforted him casually, "Don't worry, your experimental subject can't run away."
Both Patricia and Bryce would obediently come back to cooperate with Owen to complete the experiment.
They wasted some time in the laboratory. When Beau left, Eliza and the others had already arrived at the popular restaurant that Jessica had made an appointment at.
It was a new restaurant, which was said that it was specifically for the noble when it was abroad. Recently, their boss had returned to Krine to develop, so some of his properties were also brought back to Krine.
The restaurant's name was in French. Eliza didn't understand it, but Demarion read it out.
"L'Empreinte, the mark?"
Eliza looked at Demarion in surprise. "You recognize the word?"
Demarion smiled and said nothing. Liliana was not convinced and wrinkled her little nose. "Actually, I can read it too."
Eliza smiled with pride in her eyes. "Yes, my babies are all great."
Liliana became happy and held Eliza's hand, acting like a spoiled child. "Mommy, I will learn more languages in the future and translate them for you!"
"That's great. I don't have to worry about being cheated when I go abroad."
"Mommy, you're so smart and you won't be cheated."
Despite what she said, Liliana kept her excitement written all over her face.
She was determined to study hard in the future so that she could do more for her mommy!
Eliza smiled knowingly and wanted to say something more, but then she saw Jessica getting out of another car with a group of people.
Eliza looked around and didn't see Graciana and Julian. She asked, "Where are Graciana and Julian?"
"I don't know. Julian drove sports cars here. Maybe they're still behind."
Eliza heard Roseane's reply and took out her phone to call Graciana.
Graciana quickly picked it up. "Eliza, why don't you eat first? You don't have to wait for us."
Eliza frowned. "Didn't we agree on this? Why did you suddenly change your mind and go on a date alone?"
"We're not going on a date." Graciana was very upset. "Julian accidentally got into a car accident just now. We are still waiting for the tow car on the side of the road."
Eliza's heart skipped a beat. "A car accident? Is it serious? Are you hurt?"
"I'm fine. Julian was slightly injured. I'll go to the hospital with him after we've dealt with the situation."
Eliza breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "How could there be a car accident?"
"I can't explain it clearly. I'll tell you later. It seems that someone here has recognized Julian. I'll deal with it first."
"Okay, go and get busy first. If you need any help, just say it."
"I know. I'll hang up first."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, everyone gathered around her.
Roseane asked anxiously, "What's going on? Why is there a car accident?"
Eliza shrugged. "I'm not sure. There should be an accident. But Graciana said it wasn't too serious. She can settle it, so she asked us to eat first."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Jessica was a little uneasy.
"How could there be a car accident? If only I hadn't suggested for them to have dinner together."
Seeing that she was feeling uneasy and her blue eyes were full of sadness, Yessenia quickly comforted her. "This has nothing to do with you. You don't have to blame yourself."
Eliza glanced at Jessica when she heard this. The foreigners were rich in feelings, but they had always been straightforward.
Jessica used to be someone very simple, which could be understood at a glance.
But this time, for some reason, she always felt that Jessica had become much more reserved and even deliberately guided everyone's emotions.
In other words, she had become pretentious.
"Was it my illusion?"
Eliza reflected on herself. In the past, she had never doubted the friends around her and was very sincere to everyone.
Maybe because she had experienced too much, she became more and more cautious and sensitive.
If there was nothing wrong with Jessica, then her suspicion of Jessica would be too hurtful for her.
This was not good.
"That's right. At that time, it was also Mr. Benton who said that he wanted to leave alone. It had nothing to do with you." Roseane also consoled her.
Jessica looked much better, but she looked at Eliza with her blue eyes as if she was expecting her to say something.
Eliza was still reflecting on herself when she saw the look in Jessica's eyes. She immediately said, "That's right. If you want to blame someone, blame it on Julian's carelessness in driving. It has nothing to do with you."
Jessica hesitated for a moment. "But I still feel guilty."
Sawyer at the side frowned slightly.
"What are you going to do then? Are you going to have a car accident to compensate for it?"
Sawyer asked coldly.
The atmosphere was stiff, and everyone was stunned when they heard his words.
Lyric couldn't help glancing at Sawyer and hurriedly said, "Ignore him. He is crazy today."
Sawyer was speechless.
His psychological defense was indeed on the verge of collapse. That was because Lyric had been ignoring him ever since she got out of the car.
Sawyer was depressed, and he didn't like Jessica blaming herself when there was no substantial compensation.
He felt that Jessica was purely a waste of everyone's time to comfort her and also consumption of everyone's sympathy. It was not necessary at all.
He hadn't expected Lyric to rebuke him as soon as he said those words.
"Lyric, I..."
"Did you just call me Lyric? Stinky brat, I'm your sister!"
Sawyer choked, but he couldn't say a word.
Seeing this, Roseane quickly tried to smooth things over. "All right, all right. Don't quarrel over such a small thing. Since Graciana and Julian can't make it, let's eat more later on their behalf."
Yessenia also said, "Yes, yes, our group is quite eye-catching. Why don't we go in first?"
How could they not be eye-catching? There were a bunch of handsome men and beautiful women, as well as three delicate children with similar appearances. The people standing by the roadside kept staring at them.
There were even passers-by who were already pointing at Roseane and Eliza and discussing something in low voices. They were about to surround them and ask for their autographs.
Eliza also said, "Let's go in first."
Lyric and Sawyer didn't say anything and followed everyone to the restaurant.
As soon as they arrived at the door, a foreign handsome man came to them and spoke French.
Eliza's face was blank. She was just about to ask what he was saying when Jessica immediately answered in French.
The handsome man looked at all the people present, then nodded and made a "please" gesture.
Eliza always felt that the look in his eyes made her feel uncomfortable.
