Chapter 469
In a trance, Frederick felt like he was hallucinating and that time and space were randomly shifting around. "Is that..."
He came to a stop, and the manager who followed behind him also looked over to the elevator. He immediately said, "Is that President Pitcher of Pitchers Company?"
After looking closely, the manager unconsciously raised his eyes and a burst of wild imagination came flooding into his mind,
"So the news of illicit love affairs of the past few days were all true? The two CEOs fought so hard over a woman? It can't be that woman, right?" He thought.
Inadvertently, he noticed Frederick pursing his lips. The manager's eyes were moving from one place to another in confusion.
"Was it really true?"
His field of vision came to a sudden stop, and Fredrick was also puzzled. "Jeremy! Of course he saw it!" He thought to himself.
However, how could it be such a coincidence that he had also come to Lesterdam City too? Furthermore, the woman beside him looked similar to Alicia regardless of her figure and clothing. Furthermore, she was wearing a white dress, the same as the one Alicia had worn before!
He had a good perception of this dress! On the day of the hotel accident, she had worn that dress as well!
Had it not been for the moment he was currently in Lesterdam City, he would've mistaken her for Alicia! "What's wrong with Jeremy? He dared to pester Alicia and accuse me for being unworthy of her?" He thought.
Unconsciously, he narrowed his eyes and slightly raised the corner of his mouth. "What on earth is he going to do?"
A trace of doubt flashed by, but before he was able to figure it out, the manager behind him interrupted, "President Young is still waiting for us in the room..."
Frederick suddenly came to his senses and walked over to the elevator on the other side. "Well! Remember to remind me of the part I left aside earlier and find a way to open this channel!"
"Yes! I will, sir!"
On the other hand, when they got back to the room, Lindsay took a rubber band and tied her hair, then poured a glass of hot water for Jeremy. "Thank you for following me on this trip, but it's sad to say that it was a waste of time! Not to mention that I've achieved nothing for today. That woman probably isn't my mother; she was so soft and noble. How could she marry a construction worker and live such a dusty life in the construction site?"
If she did, then she wouldn't have left without saying a word at that time! As far as she knew, Graham's remarriage was just a process to drag people away. Back then, it wasn't as developed as the present. There weren't any so-called in-depth computerworks at all. There was a lot of missing information, and the procedure was full of flaws.
Although most of it was currently updated and even connected to the inte, let alone the whole country without the idea of them changing their names, there were simply too many people with similar names in a city. It was impossible to locate them.
Lindsay sat limply at a side. The disappointment and sorrow on her face were unconcealable!
They were very poor back when her mother had married Graham. She recalled that her mother was treated like a child in the past, and no chores were needed to be done by her at home.
Her mother was undoubtedly beautiful. Before she left the Crouch family, she had fulfilled her duty as a mother towards herself and her sister! At least, she hadn't abandoned her back then. They didn't need to worry about food or clothing.
However, she couldn't understand why she left them later on when it came to Graham. Was it because she was facing a difficult time in her life? Or was it because she could only bear the weight of one burden but not two?
Lindsay simply couldn't understand!Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
She wasn't certain whether she was qualified to be a mother or not, and her fond memories became fuzzy. However, she knew that it was her mother who shaped her to become the person she was now!
She gave birth to her, but she didn't give her a proper childhood. At that moment, she was completely destroyed because she was powerless. Lindsay hated it!
If her mother hadn't left her to her adoptive father, then she wouldn't have been abused and tortured, would she?
Otherwise, even if she was poor, she
still could've found a suitable partner or even someone older with her beauty. I didn't matter whether they were divorced or not. Everyone in this city was a workaholic, seeking happiness and a complete family... Was it so hard to ask for?
However, everything she had was destroyed before she became an adult!
She really despised all the men in this world!
"It's my pleasure! It's no big deal! Linds, I've told you before that I'd help you as long as you needed me! I'll help you no matter what, except..."
I can't be with you!
"Except for... giving me your love?"
Lindsay laughed bitterly. She didn't avoid the topic this time.
"I know, the one you love is Alicia! For so many years, you only had her in your heart! I understand... I won't force you!"
She was calm, but her fists were still clenched on the sofa. "I understand, I'm incomparable to her. I was back then, and I'm even more so now!"
She wasn't able to win him over in the past. Now that her name had been ruined, what else could she possibly do?
What she hated was that the world was too unfair. She had the shorter end of the stick, but Alicia's luck was better than hers! When she was rich, everyone supported her, but when she wasn't, she hit rock bottom. For her to be able to meet
Frederick was simply unfair.
Even Jeremy... He wanted her back!
"Don't say something like that! Linds, I'm sorry. I know that you were kind to me, I've failed you! Please don't do anything stupid from now on. You'l meet a better man who will be devoted to you! I sincerely hope for your happiness! I'll grant you anything you want, as long as it's within my capabilities! I'll definitely help you find your mother! By the way, why did you suddenly come here to find her?"
She closed her eyes to hide her complicated emotions within it, and then Lindsay spoke up.
"In the past, I merely thought that
searching for her was delaying the
inevitable. A lot has happened
el
recently, so suddenly became curious about finding the reason behind it. Why didn't she say goodbye? Why wasn't there any
news from her for more than a decade? Why didn't she come back to see me and my sister??
Sometimes, I'd rather think that
she's dead. Jeremy, do you know
how much I hate her?" Content

She was agitated by that thought and she once again gritted her teeth to the point where they started creaking.
As he raised his hand, Jeremy placed his hand over her shoulder to comfort her. He nodded and said, "My parents are divorced too! I didn't understand it before. I've also complained and hated..."
If his parents weren't divorced, then his sister wouldn't have been separated from him, and that accident could've been avoided!
In fact, it was because of this that he often sympathized with her; he understood her. Thus, in the end, he probably wasn't certain whether he considered her as his sister or his lover, and whether he loved her or sympathized with her.
"But now, we aren't children anymore. We should be more aware of things! Maybe she's facing some unavoidable difficulties?"
"Well, you might be right! That's why I just want answers to untie the knot in my heart!" While speaking, her cell phone flashed, and she got up and
said,
"Today has been a tiring day. Let's go get dinner. We'll pick this up after dinner! I'll give my sister a call first!"
