Chapter 343 Crazy Pursuer

Mark looked at her. “I’m really afraid that something might happen to you!”

“So this incident was because someone wanted to frame me?” Lyla asked.

Mark nodded.

Lyla took a deep breath. “Sigh, how many unethical things did I do in my past life for so many people to want to kill me in this life?” Although she sighed, her tone was not that frustrated.

Mark looked at her. “You saved the earth in your last life, so God made it so you were born beautiful, causing people to be jealous!”

“I like that explanation!” Lyla laughed.

Mark reached out, held her hand, and kissed the back of it before placing it on his chest. “Promise me that you won’t lose it again!”

“Don’t worry. This time, I know how to protect myself!”

Mark nodded but held her hand with more strength.

……

“Mommy, wait!” She was just about to enter the door when she was stopped by Hansel and Gretel.

“Why?”

“Drive away bad luck!” The kids pretended to sprinkle water around her.

Lyla rolled her eyes at them. “Since when did you believe in this?”

“Hey, it’s better to believe it than to not!”

“Are you done?”

“Done!”

Only then did Lyla enter.

“Mommy, have some water!” Gretel diligently brought her water to drink.

“Good girl!” Lyla took it and rubbed Gretel’s head like she was a puppy.

“Mommy, they didn’t do anything to you while you were in there, right?” Gretel asked worriedly.

“Do you think we’re in ancient times, and they can torture me?”

“We’re just worried about you!”

“Don’t worry, I’m fine!”

Seeing Lyla come back and being increasingly served on, Mark was all kinds of upset.

He held out his hand. “Where’s my water?”

“Oh, go get it yourself!”

“Why does your mommy have a glass but not me?”

“Mommy is a woman. Are you one too?”

It seemed that there was no way to refute that.

Mark obediently got up and went to get water.

Lyla did not look like she just came out of the detention center, and instead looked like she was returning home after gaining glory. She knew that Hansel and Gretel must be worrying about her, so she could not let them worry.

After talking for a while, Mark held his cup and walked towards them. “Alright, now we can get back to business!”

Everyone fell silent at that.

“Why isn’t anyone speaking?” Mark asked them.

“It’s not that we don’t want to say it, it’s that we don’t know how to say it!” Hansel went around and sat beside Lyla.

“Yeah, there’s no clue at all!”

“As long as it was done by a person, there will be a trace!” Mark said.

“Although that’s the case, we still haven’t found anything until now!”

“That means you weren’t attentive enough!” Mark said and looked at them. “Since when did you become so passive?”

“Ugh…”

“Is this what you guys learned at Hell’s Angels?”

Lingo became unhappy when she heard this. She was originally unwilling to participate, but now that she heard this, how could she not refute? “Mark Pattinson, use your words properly, and don’t resort to personal attacks!”

“I’m just being factual!”

“The truth is that people from your Ghost Gate are the same!” Lingo said, trying to maintain the reputation of Hell’s Angels.

Hansel nodded.

Gretel also nodded.

Mark finally compromised. “Ok, I misspoke!”

“Just be more careful next time!”

Mark, “...”

He was exasperated and felt that there was no speaking reason with women.

“Alright, be serious!” Hansel said, “Mommy, have you had any unpleasant encounters with anyone recently?” Hansel asked Lyla.

Lyla thought about it seriously. “It hasn’t been long since I came back. I haven’t argued with anyone and haven’t made any enemies, so I don’t know either!”

“Lingo said that Mommy is born with a body that attracts people to hate her, so there was no point in asking!”

Lyla, “...” She looked at Lingo.

Lingo also looked exasperated. ‘These little devils.’

“I think this has nothing to do with myself. It’s because of someone else!” Then, she turned to Mark.

Was this what ‘getting shot while lying down’ meant?

However, since Lyla said so, he also admitted it.

“Yes, it’s my fault. This time, I’ll protect you and won’t let you suffer any harm!” Mark said tenderly.
