Chapter 53 Be Really Out of Luck
Seeing that Lydia slammed the door and left, Joshua let out a sigh and sat down before the desk.
He took the medicine for traumatic injury in the drawer and gently applied it to the palm print area on his face. Then he took out ice cubes from the refrigerator and applied them to his face.
If father came back and saw it, it would be inevitably for father and mother to have a fight at home.
Early in the morning, Lola and several women gathered together, and panic was all written on their faces.
They seemed to be talking about something, and there was the incredible expression on all of their faces.
Lola covered her mouth and whispered, "I don't know what happed, but when I woke up this morning, I saw a message saying that all the money I had saved in my bank card for so many years was gone! It was like it had been all transferred by someone!"
Other women nodded, "Yeah, yeah! The same here!"
"Me too! I found that the money saved in my card was all gone early in the morning!"
"Not a single dime left!"
"I called the bank early in the morning, but the bank staff told me that there was no transfer record at all!"
Lola shook her head, and her face turned pale, "Anyway, I have already called the police! I have saved the money for so many years, how can it be gone suddenly?"
The woman beside her nodded, "We have called the police too."
Lola couldn't help but gradually stop her skeptical gaze on Patricia, who was not far away, with an indifferent expression.
"Did you notice that something was weird?"
The woman beside her looked at Lola confusedly, "What's weird?"
Lola looked at Patricia and narrowed her eyes, "Didn't you notice it? Only our bank cards were emptied, while other people were fine. And we are the ones who locked Patricia up in the toilet yesterday..." After thinking it over, several women covered their mouths in surprise, "Lola, do you mean that all our money was transferred by Patricia?!"
Lola pressed a finger on her lip, "Hush, I don't know about this either, but I suspect that it was she who did it. If she didn't, then she must have made someone do it."
Several women quickly surrounded Lola, "Then, Lola, what should we do next?"
Lola paused for a second, and then gradually narrowed her eyes, "What we are going to do is not make this matter public. In this case, the police will catch her by surprise when they find it out, so that she will not have time to make an excuse to defend herself!"
The women gave a thumbs-up to Lola, and all of them with a smile on their faces, "Lola, you are so thoughtful and cautious!"
The noon came soon, and Karina appeared on time at the entrance of the Sidney Kindergarten.
Erin took Benjamin by the hand and slowly walked out of the Sidney Kindergarten. After seeing Karina in the driver's seat, she was about to hold him to sit in the rear.
Benjamin shook his head toward Erin, and he climbed up the co-pilot seat by himself with his small arms and legs.
Despite Erin's surprised gaze, he had already fastened his seat belt cleverly.
Karina smiled at Erin, "Miss Erin, don't be surprised. He won't sit in the rear when his mother is not here. If it's okay, we are going to leave now."
Erin nodded to Karina, "Drive safe."
Karina nodded and nudged the gas pedal down to leave the next second.
She turned her head to look at Benjamin, who looked like a little adult, "Well, can you tell me the whole story now?"
Benjamin turned and glanced at Karina, and he put on a mysterious smile and then shook his head.
"I can't. Otherwise, there would be no sense of mystery anymore."
It really was driving Karina crazy and she reached out her hand to tap Benjamin's head gently.
"Mystery... I haven't slept well since early in the morning and I've been busy working till now. And now you are talking about mystery with me!" Benjamin propped his chin with one hand and he asked with a serious face, "Aunt Karina, are you hungry? Shall we have dinner first?"
Karina paused for a second, "What would you like to eat?"
Benjamin narrowed his eyes, "Of course, it is the more expensive, the better."
Karina couldn't help grinding her teeth, "Got it! I wonder why I would have a godson like you. I'm really out of luck!"
In the music restaurant, Benjamin gracefully ate the steak before him with the knife and fork in his hands, and wiped his mouth with the napkin on his chest from time to time.
Karina couldn't help but ask, "Benjamin, you have been urging me to be in a hurry before, saying that this matter has something to do with your mommy. Then, how could you still have the leisure to eat steak here!"
Benjamin glanced at the time on the wall, and then took off the napkin on his chest and waved his little hand gently.
Then, the waiter nearby quickly stepped forward, "May I help you?"
Benjamin said to the waiter, "Have you done packing up all the food I asked you to pack up before?"
The waiter nodded and quickly brought the food over to him.
Benjamin took the fancy box with him, looked at Karina and said, "Aunt Karina, we can leave now."
Karina looked at Benjamin dully and said, "Leave now?"
"Yeah." Benjamin nodded slightly.
Karina looked at the untouched steak and red wine before her, "But I haven't start eating..."
Benjamin stepped forward and took Karina's hand, "Let's go. There are some foods for you in the box.
Karina paused for a second, "Benjamin, would you really be so kind to me?"
Sitting in the car, Benjamin did not answer Karina. He was still worrying about Patricia, who was still in the company.
Yesterday, he had watched the surveillance video. It seemed that Mommy seldom had lunch at the cafeteria. According to the time in the surveillance video, Mommy had already told him that she had had lunch, but she went to have lunch later when almost everyone was gone...
The time for the collection of drawings and finished products was in the afternoon, and now it had passed twelve o'clock, near one o'clock in the afternoon.
That was to say, the collection would start soon.
Determination flashed across Benjamin's eyes, 'Mommy, just wait for me for a little while!'
The car drove quickly on the road. Looking at Benjamin beside her, Karina couldn't help speeding up the car.
Lunch time had passed, and Patricia was still sitting on her chair as usual, and had no intention of going to have lunch.
Till she saw that all the people in the company stood up and went to the group leader in union, she still sat there.
Marilyn wearing her high heels slowly stopped beside Patricia. Doubts were written on her face, "Patricia, this afternoon is the deadline. Why haven't I received your drawings and finished products?" Patricia stood up slowly, and then nodded to Marilyn, "Marilyn, I'm sorry, I may have to let you down."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
