Chapter 252
Gia’s eyes welled up with tears as she said, “Ms. Logan, seriously, you're like an angel!”
Mariela let out a sigh, tinged with a bit of bitterness, “This is the best | can do.”
Gia quickly chimed in, “That's more than enough to help them, Ms. Logan,”
“Hope so...”
Meanwhile, Lennon was on his way to the law firm.
He had driven for less than five minutes when the base manager called.
“Mr. Stark, there's a problem with Dalia!”

was already 8:30 PM.

“Sorry, Marie, | can’t make it. You'll need to get back by yourself. I've got surgent things to deal with here.”
Mariela asked, “What's wrong?”
“Hard to explain now. I'll tell
you in person later.”
Aer
*Alright.”
After ending the call, Mariela headed down to the underground parking lot to get her car.
She hadn't eat
dinner yet, and her stomach was growling.
She swung by a nearby eatery for a quick bite to tide over her hunger. By the tshe got back to her
neighborhood, it was 10 PM.
Mariela parked her car and pressed the elevator button.
When she reached her door and unlocked it with her fingerprint, she heard someone call her nfrom behind.
“Marie.”
It was Jaime.
He wore a dark grey coat, looked handsome, and stood firmly under the light with a slight smile.
He seemed quite decent.
Seeing Jasuddenly there, Mariela frowned.“Jaime, what are you doing here?”
Instead of answering, Jaasked, “Where were you today? Why are you back so late?”
Mariela’s brow furrowed.“That’s none of your business.”
Jashrugged. “I'm just concerned about you.”
“Not necessary.”
