Chapter 1171
It’s Lucilla Preston
Had she arrived?
Celeste checked her phone.
No messages from the other party.
She went to a quieter place and made a call. The call was quickly answered, but Lucilla herself didn’t pick up
When the call was answered, there was no voice from the other side. Celeste quickly realized something and changed her tone, “May I speak with Ms. Lucilla?”
A voice answered from the other side, and it was unclear whether it was a man or a woman
“Hello, ma’am. I’m a credit officer from xx loan company. Do you need any financial assistance recently?”
The other side obviously wasn’t that easy to fool. They quickly asked, “Do you have any good loan products to recommend?”
Holy moly!
Celeste cursed inwardly, looking up to see Liam handing her his phone, which displayed some researched information.
Immediately. Celeste started speaking based on the information on the screen
After she finished, she added, “We’re a legit personal loan service platform. We don’t charge any fees. After the loan is approved, it’ll be directly deposited into your bank account Repayments will be automatically deducted by the bank. You can trust us with the security of your funds. Of course, you’re welcome to visit our company anytime. Could I have your email address so I can send you our company’s location?”
There was a moment of silence on the other end, then a bland voice said, “I’ll send it to you later”
Without waiting for Celeste to speak, the call was abruptly ended
Celeste let out a long sigh of relief, turned to Liam, and asked, “She didn’t recognize my voice, did she?”
Liam chuckled, “When did you start doubting your acting skills?”
“It was so sudden, and I had no preparation at all. I had to improvise,” Celeste said, frowning, “I think the voice sounded a bit like Helen, but I’m not sure. They were purposely lowering their voice
“Whoever she is, she definitely didn’t recognize you”
Even so, Celeste was still sweating bullets
The other party was too cautious, not saying a word when the call was answered, just waiting for her to speak. If she hadn’t been watching Lucilla at the time and noticed that the phone wasn’t in her hand, she would have spoken in her own voice. Thank goodness she reacted quickly. If her voice had been recognized, Lucilla would have been suspected
Perhaps Helen had been suspicious all along, just looking for evidence, or else there wouldn’t have been that call
Thinking about this, she started to worry about Lucilla.
Just as she was about to go over, Liam stopped her, “Let Nicolas keep an eye on her. If you go over now, it will arouse suspicion.”
Celeste could only suppress her anxiety and wait for Liam to contact Nicolas.
Seeing her frowning and looking anxious, Liam whispered, “Don’t worry, she won’t betray us. I’ve already taken care of everything at her house.”
Celeste shook her head, “I’m not worned about that. I’m afraid she might get into trouble”
Lucilla’s future was ruined, her family was also implicated, and her hatred for Shawn wasn’t any less than Celeste’s, so she wasn’t worned about Lucilla betraying
them
What she was worried about was that Helen might do something to Lucilla
When Lucilla was pretending to be pregnant, there were always people spying around her house, and the hospital staff also frequently looked through her medical
records
It was obviously Helen’s doing. This woman was cautious and ruthless. Lucilla had previously claimed that she was carrying a boy, which must have made Helen
uneasy
