Chapter 945 Am I a Merchandise

After hearing Grace asking about Daphne, Sonia instantly became nervous. Initially leaning back in her chair, she adjusted her posture slightly and sat up, straightening her back. “Oh, Daphne? She’s fine.”

“Is that so? Well, good to hear that.” Grace nodded. “I happened to meet her today while I was at the hospital for a checkup. At the time, I noticed that she looked somewhat pale while holding a thick pile of papers in her hand. I thought she was seriously ill, so I asked her immediately if she was alright, but she told me that she only had some problems with her neck.”

Sonia bit her lower lip. “You mean you don’t believe that she’s got a problem with her neck?”

Grace nodded. “Of course. I’ve known that young lady for years, so I know her to a degree. She lowered her head and dared not look me in the eye when she answered my question, so it was obvious that she was lying. Since she lied without telling me what was wrong with her, I couldn’t force her to tell me the truth, so I pretended to buy her story. We then had a little chat before she made an excuse and left in a hurry, as if she feared that I’d stop her. I was wondering why she was so afraid of me at the time. It’s not like I’m a tiger that will eat her.”

“I see.” Sonia raised her chin at the revelation. Then, she asked tentatively, “In that case, Mrs. Lane, didn’t you ask those at the hospital what was wrong with Daphne after she left?”

Grace shook her head. “No, I didn’t. She didn’t want to tell me about it, so how could I ask about these things? It’ll be disrespectful toward her if I find out these things without permission.”

“Oh, I see.” Sonia patted her chest while breathing an inward sigh of relief. Luckily, Mrs. Lane is still unaware that Daphne is pregnant. Well, that’s understandable. If she knew about it, she wouldn’t have been so composed.
