Chapter 173: Chapter 173

Teacher Cole? Landon Lawson squinted at Evan Quinn, asserting his chest, clearly not lying, and moreover, with Teacher Cole’s testimony, could it be that Vera Yates really went behind his back to meet Evan Quinn?

Looking at Evan Quinn’s determined little face, Landon Lawson’s eyes dimmed.

No one spoke, and the pressure in the air became heavier. The man gently coughed, breaking the silence, "It seems President Lawson still has matters to attend to, so I won’t disturb you further."

Landon Lawson nodded apologetically towards him.

Turning to Evan Quinn, he said, "I’ll call your mom now and have her come back early."

Evan Quinn, not knowing what had happened, saw Landon Lawson’s dark expression and knew he was truly angry, so he agreed obediently.

Landon Lawson and the other man left the apartment and sat in the car downstairs. Landon Lawson gripped the steering wheel tightly, blue veins popping out, his dark expression frightening.

The man gently coughed, "Could it really be Vera Yates?"

He knew of Vera Yates too, since he was friends with Landon Lawson; naturally, he knew something about his rumored girlfriend.

The man handed a USB drive to Landon Lawson, "This is the data you wanted. Fortunately, her laptop stayed the same, so I was able to easily find all the information she searched for on her browser. You can take a look."

Landon Lawson gripped it in his palm and said to the man, "I have some things to do."

"I understand, don’t get too angry. I believe there might be other factors involved." The man advised knowing that Landon Lawson was a thoughtful person.

After seeing the man off, Landon Lawson took out his phone, looking at the familiar number, his fingers trembling non-stop. Finally, he pressed the dial button, "Are you home?"

"I’m home," a gentle voice came from the phone.

"Wait for me, I have something to tell you." Landon Lawson hung up without giving Vera Yates any chance to resist.

Vera Yates sat at home, staring at the darkened screen, her palm-sized face heavy.

Just moments earlier, she had seen someone removing the camera from the teddy bear, and Landon Lawson’s face appeared on the screen. In fact, since the bear was placed in Sienna Quinn’s home, Vera Yates snooped on Sienna every day.

She often saw Landon Lawson’s presence, each time gritting her teeth, wishing to rush up and teach Sienna a lesson, even contemplating completely erasing her.

Then, would Landon Lawson belong only to her?

But now, would Landon Lawson suspect her? Would Evan Quinn, that little kid, betray her? She could only hope he didn’t understand the adult matters.

Vera Yates paced back and forth at home, urgently.

Suddenly, she looked at the computer, glancing quickly, deleted all video software, and threw the computer into the garbage bin outside.

Half a two-hour later, Vera Yates’s door rang.

During that half a two-hour, Sienna Quinn had already changed into clean, sexy clothes, put on exquisite makeup, opened the door, and looked at Landon Lawson standing there, her lips slowly curving upward, "Landon, it’s been a while since you came to see me."

Landon Lawson entered expressionless, surveying the surroundings, "Feeling beautiful today?"

Vera Yates smiled bitterly, nodding, "Things haven’t been well lately, so I stayed at home to adjust myself."

Landon Lawson looked at Vera Yates’s weak, pitiful state, his eyebrows furrowed, and he sat on the sofa, staring coldly at Vera Yates’s eyes.

This piercing gaze made Vera Yates uncomfortable, as if being scrutinized by someone.

"Landon, did something happen?"

Landon Lawson squinted, a dense chill in his eyes, "Vera, how many years have we known each other?"

"We’ve known each other for over twenty years, why ask all of a sudden?"

"I’ve been thinking, all these twenty years, have I never truly seen your heart?" The sadness in his eyes was uncontrollable.

The twenty-plus years of feelings, but it was only her and Miles Grant.

He had long treated her like his sister, but now it seemed, somewhere along the way, Vera Yates was no longer the woman he remembered. Official source is N()velFire.net

Vera Yates’s body shuddered, her gaze flitting, voice lacking confidence, "Landon, what are you talking about? I’ve always been the Vera you’ve known."

Landon Lawson stayed silent, placing the destroyed camera on the table, his eyes hopeful, "Don’t you recognize this?"

Evan Quinn took it confusedly, frowned, shaking his head, "What is it? I really don’t know."

"You really don’t know?" Landon Lawson’s voice rose.

"Don’t recognize it? This is the camera you placed inside the teddy bear. Are you telling me now you don’t know?" Sienna’s face turned pale, her body trembling, tearfully saying to Landon Lawson, "Landon, I really don’t know what this is. Please don’t believe one-sided accusations. You know I’m never that kind of person."

Looking into the tearful eyes almost about to cry, Landon Lawson’s eyebrows furrowed until big tears fell, splattering into water blossoms on the ground.

Vera Yates half-knelt before the man, clutching his sleeve, her already fair face paler, "Landon, you have to believe me. How could I place a camera in Sienna’s home?"

Landon Lawson’s outstretched hand paused mid-air, originally intending to soothe Vera Yates. Perhaps he truly misunderstood; Evan Quinn was insightful for a child, but ultimately still just a kid. Mistakes were possible, and many people had access to the camera.

Yet moments ago, Vera’s answer chilled Landon Lawson’s heart, "How do you know this camera is in Sienna’s home?"

Vera Yates’s soft sobbing paused, those deep eyes shimmering with schemes.

"You said so when you came in, Landon; Sienna and I have been friends for so many years. How could I harm her?"

Looking at the woman’s sincere appearance, Landon Lawson started doubting—could he really be mistaken?

Vera Yates saw the man’s flickering eyes, her body suddenly trembled, coughing ceaselessly, almost stumbling to the ground. Landon was quick to support her, preventing her fall.

Vera Yates’s small hand suddenly clutched Landon’s hand, looking with tearful eyes at his obsidian-like gaze, "Landon, you don’t believe me, do you?"
