From Ashes of Scandals to His Embrace novel Chapter 236

“Aggie, are you sure you want to head out to the countryside?”

“Adah, thanks for getting the tickets for me and Lawrence. We really do have business out there. When we get back, we’ll treat you to dinner.”

Adah shot Aggie a look of annoyance. The only reason she’d gotten close to Aggie in the first place was because she was in Laurinda’s class. Adah thought she could use Aggie to mess up Laurinda’s reputation at school. But now, with Aggie suddenly leaving, she was frustrated. The task she’d given Aggie wasn’t even halfway done.

“Don’t worry about us, Adah. Lawrence and I will be back before you know it.”

Aggie thought Adah just didn’t want them to leave because she was worried. That made her feel warm inside. Of all the people she’d grown up with, Adah really was the one who cared about her most.

When Adah realized she couldn’t change Aggie’s mind, she stopped arguing. She just said, cold and sharp, “Hurry back. And don’t forget what you promised.”

“Relax, Adah. I’ll bring you a surprise.”

Aggie and Lawrence climbed onto the bus to Solenia. By the time the sun was coming up, they pulled into the run-down bus station. Aggie led Lawrence off, and the two of them just stood there, staring at the shabby little town. They never imagined Laurinda could send her own grandfather to a place like this.

“Lawrence, start filming now. We need to set the story straight, show everyone how Laurinda abandoned her grandfather in this dump, and completely ruin her reputation.”
