Claimed by My First Love’s Brother Novel

Chapter80 I wrapped the quilt around myself and slept with the light on . Even though I was very tired and exhausted , I couldn't sleep soundly . I would be awakened by even the slightest noise . When I woke up again , it was a little after three in the morning . It seems that I didn't sleep for long either . I stared at the ceiling and spaced out for a while , when suddenly I faintly heard bursts of noise coming from the yard . I quickly got up and pulled back the curtains to look outside .

The old courtyard , which was originally pitch black , brightened up . There were many people moving back and forth in the courtyard , and it was unclear what they were doing . I watched for a while , but I couldn't figure out what they were doing , so I went back to bed . As long as the matter did not involve me , it was fine . I looked at the clock on the wall and for the first time , I felt that the night was so long .

If it weren't for the difficulty in getting a taxi at this spot , I would have also wanted to go back . Anyway , since Reynaldo has already left , it doesn't matter whether I stay or not , he won't care . I suddenly felt so foolish . When Reynaldo hurriedly left just now , I should have followed him . and asked him to give me a ride back on his way . Forget it , stop thinking about it , that man wouldn't be so kind - hearted .

I turned over and forced myself to go back to sleep when suddenly , there came a series of urgent knocks on the door . I was on edge and asked , " Who is it ? " " Ms. Duffy , something has happened , please come out . " I furrowed my brows . What happened to the Humphrey family that made me go out? What does the Humphrey family's matter have to do with me ? " Ms. Duffy ? " Seeing that I did not respond , there was another round of urgent knocking at the door .

The knocking sound made my heart race . Although Reynaldo made me angry , I still wished he could be by my side at that moment . At least he was a member of the Humphrey family , so I wouldn't feel so anxious . " Ms. Duffy , could you come out for a moment , Ms. Duffy ? " " Oh dear , stop wasting time talking to her , go get the spare key . " It was the voice of Reynaldo's stepmother . ChapterB0 I furrowed my brows , took a few steps forward , and pulled the door open . " What happened ?

" The stepmother tiptoed and looked behind me , and smirked , " Reynaldo isn't here . " I ignored her . She glanced at me , chuckled , and sneered , " Tsk tsk tsk , you couldn't even keep him while dressed like this , it shows how much he dislikes you . " Only my foolish son , who was blind , could have fallen for a woman like you . As I saw her face full of mockery , a strong sense of irony flashed through my mind . I remember back when I used to play with Winston , he once introduced .

me to his mother . That is the noblewoman in front of me . Back then , my family in Freybourne was also a prominent and respected family , and at that time , she treated me with great enthusiasm . They praised me again for being beautiful and for being sensible , giving me all kinds of compliments . She said that if her son married me , it would be her son's good fortune . Nowadays , my family has fallen on hard times , and her true colors of power were instantly revealed .

I knew that people nowadays are very practical , but my family has fallen on hard times . You can distance yourself from me , but there's no need to mock me like this . I ignored her sarcasm and asked her indifferently , " What's the matter with you calling me in the middle of the night ? " The lady walked back and forth in the room , casually saying , " Our Humphrey family was robbed , so please ask Ms. Duffy to gol downstairs and cooperate with the search . " " Search me ?

" As soon as I heard her say that , I instinctively felt that they were setting me up . After all , how could a family like the Humphrey family be stolen from for no reason ? And it was never stolen before , never stolen after , but just when I was there , it got stolen . Isn't it obvious that it was aimed at me ? I coldly said , " I didn't steal anything , why are you searching me ? " The lady sneered , " Have you ever seen any thief admit to stealing ?

If you really didn't steal anything , why you ? Or is it that you indeed stol . are you afraid of us searching thing ? " I furrowed my brows , it seemed like they were relentless . If I couldn't hold on , I'm afraid they would have more words to defame me .
