Chapter 744 Already Indistinguishable
Mary looked at Barbara's thin, pale face with a calm expression. "If you don't tell me, I'm not helping you leave. Think I'm desperate to get back what's mine? You're wrong. I've never really cared about this. Whether I have parents or not doesn't matter much to me."
Barbara's face twisted at these words. She stood up, her eyes filled with agitation. "How can you not care? She took everything that was rightfully yours! Do you know how wealthy your parents are? You were supposed to be a rich heiress, but she stole that from you. Are you really okay with that?"
Mary's clear eyes glimmered with a cold light. "She could only steal it because you helped her. What if you hadn't had those selfish thoughts?"
"I..." Barbara hesitated, biting her lip. "Mary, she won't help me, and she won't let you go either. Your existence is a ticking time bomb to her. She'll find a way to get rid of you, to make sure you never have a chance to return. Even if you don't care about your biological parents or want to reunite with them, you can't stop her from being wary of you!"
Mary's expression faltered. It did seem like Barbara had a point.
If the other party knew Barbara had found her, regardless of whether she knew the truth, she wouldn't let Mary off easily.
Barbara had indeed hit the nail on the head.
Seeing Mary waver, Barbara continued to persuade her. "Mary, I don't want anything else. Just help me leave, as far away as possible, so she can't find me or hurt me. I'll tell you everything I know, okay?"
Mary didn't respond immediately.
Barbara began to ponder.
Could it be that Mary didn't care at all?
Anyone else would be thrilled at the prospect of such wealth!
"You want to send her away? That's easy."
A deep, magnetic voice suddenly broke the silence.
Barbara immediately looked over, her guard up. When she saw the man, she was momentarily stunned. Then she remembered—this was the man who had been with Mary when she was beaten and captured.
He exuded an air of sophistication and wealth.
No wonder Mary didn't care; she had a man like this by her side.
Barbara didn't dare approach, watching Matthew warily.
Mary looked at him and said, "This is my business. It has nothing to do with you."
She didn't want their issues to get tangled up together, making things even more complicated.
Matthew replied calmly, "I have ways to make her tell you what you want to know."
Mary immediately thought of Gerald, who was still in the basement of the Montagu Manor.
She pressed her lips together and said, "I know, but it's not necessary."
Matthew gazed at her and suddenly asked, "You don't like roses? How about lilies? Or peonies?"
Mary was speechless.
She ignored him and turned to Barbara.
"I'll find a way to help you leave. You better keep your word."
"I will, I will!" Barbara nodded eagerly. She needed Mary now, so she would comply.
Mary turned and left the warehouse.
The sunlight hit her, and she suddenly felt a bit dazed.
Then Mary let out a self-mocking laugh.
She thought she had distanced herself from Matthew, but in reality?
She still used his men to investigate those people's identities.
She was even being protected by him.
A sense of helplessness washed over her, and Mary sighed softly.
