Turned Out…
At night, Blanca was already asleep in her room. Meanwhile, Lorenzo chose to stay outside the room while he did what he needed to do. After a while, he remembered his mother’s words saying that Blanca was a betting item.
“She’s only a hussy and a betting item!”
Lorenzo was immediately curious.
“A betting item? Is that a clue?”
Lorenzo thought for a while before he decided. “I think I should call Calvin.”
Because of that, he called Calvin.
“Hi, Calvin!”
“Hi, Mr. Lorenzo!” greeted Calvin.
“I’m sorry! I don’t have the data that you asked me before. I’ve only found four cases that are closest to the characteristics that you mentioned.” Calvin apologized.
“That’s okay. I don’t want to ask you for that, but I want to inform you of a new finding,” Lorenzo answered.
“What’s that, Mr. Lorenzo?” Calvin’s eyes lit up.
From the tone of his voice, it seemed that he was very excited and very happy to know about the new findings. For him, the new finding might help him find the data.
Lorenzo immediately told him what his mother had said. After that, he said. “Because of that, I’m suspicious, and I would like to ask you to look into it more specifically.”
“Of the four cases, look for the ones where a woman was used as a betting item in gambling at the Lyero Casino Bar.” Lorenzo commanded.
“Okay. Please wait!” pleaded Calvin as he typed on the computer, which made Lorenzo hear the sound of typing. His eyes were still focused on the computer screen.
“Ah!” complained Calvin, because, in the middle of searching, the computer screen turned black. He didn’t know why.
Hearing Calvin’s complaint, Lorenzo suddenly asked frantically because he was afraid something bad would happen to Calvin. “What’s wrong, Calvin?”
“Please wait!”
“What’s wrong?” asked Lorenzo again in panic, because Calvin seemed to be covering up the problem.
“There’s a problem here. I’m trying to fix it first! I’m sorry,” Calvin answered as he tried to repair the damage and virus attacks that had entered his computer.
Lorenzo waited a while for Calvin until Calvin said. “I’ve found it, sir.”
Calvin described the gambling event in detail, from year, month, and date to hour, minute, and second. He also mentioned the amount Blanca’s father lost.
“The woman, who was the betting item for Trevor’s family, was Blanca Rivera. The winner of the bet was Trevor Yero. The gambling took place at the Lyero Casino Bar.”
“Is that the one that you searched for, sir?” asked Calvin to confirm, fearing he had the wrong data.
“Yes. That one. Correct,” Lorenzo replied.
“Good! Great job, Calvin!” praised Lorenzo.
“Please send it to me immediately!” Lorenzo ordered.
“Okay.” Calvin immediately copied all the data and sent it to Lorenzo via email.
Not long after, Lorenzo found the email, and he immediately read the complete data about the case. Lorenzo immediately copied the data and sent it to his phone.
He used double protection so that the data would not be lost. At that moment, Lorenzo asked. “How much should I pay for the rest?”
Calvin immediately mentioned the amount of rest that Lorenzo needs to get. Lorenzo immediately said.
“Please wait a minute! I’ll transfer it right away.”
Lorenzo ended the call. In less than a minute, Lorenzo had transferred the amount of money he had to pay Calvin along with the tip.
On his transfer note, he wrote: “Thank you!”
Afterwards, Lorenzo photographed the receipt and sent it to Calvin. “I’ve made the transfer.”
“Okay. Thank you!” Calvin replied.
“You’re welcome.”
Lorenzo felt so relieved. The question he has been looking for has been answered.
He knows that Blanca is a betting item. Of course, that doesn’t matter to him.
He will pay anything for Blanca. He immediately counted and calculated the approximate amount he would pay. He also considered inflation and other factors that could increase the amount he would have to pay.
After calculating, he saw that the maximum and minimum amounts he had to pay were not small. The maximum amount is almost half the money Lorenzo has accumulated so far.
Meanwhile, the minimum figure is almost one third of the money that Lorenzo has collected so far. He immediately commented. “It’s a bit expensive!”
“But no problem. For Blanca’s sake, I’ll pay it. The important thing is that she is free, and I live happily with Blanca,” Lorenzo said.
“I’m sure Blanca won’t betray me,” Lorenzo said confidently.
“If one day Blanca betrays me after I’ve paid this for her, it doesn’t matter! The important thing for me is that I’ve contributed to Blanca’s life, and I really love Blanca.”
“I need to free Blanca now. I don’t want it to be too late, and I’ll have to pay even more!” thought Lorenzo.
Lorenzo immediately took his phone. He intended to call his mother at that time.
Fortunately, while he was calling his mother, he remembered the incident that happened that day where his mother pretended to cover up. He immediately said it in his heart.
“Don’t! Don’t do that!” Lorenzo immediately canceled his intention and ended the call to his mother.
“She won’t confess,” Lorenzo said confidently in his heart.
“I have to do something else.”
“But what’s that?” Lorenzo asked himself.
He really didn’t have any idea. He thought for a while until he thought of an idea for inviting his parents and Blanca to come for a place. There, he would ask them to confess about that.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
“I have to invite my parents and Blanca together at the same time; I have to give them the evidence to get them to confess.”
At that moment, Lorenzo’s phone rang. Lorenzo took his phone and saw it was a message from his mother. “Why did you call me, Lorenzo?”
“I want to meet with you in private tomorrow.” Lorenzo stated his purpose.
“Don’t invite Rose or anyone! I want to talk privately with you. I don’t like the way it was,” Lorenzo asked sternly.
“Can you come?” Lorenzo asked.
“It depends on the time,” Lorenzo’s mother answered.
“What time is it?” asked Lorenzo’s mother.
“07:00 p. m.–08:00 p. m. Can you attend?” asked Lorenzo again.
“I can only attend at 8. 00 p. m.-09. 00 p. m.” Lorenzo’s mother mentioned the time.
“Can you?” Lorenzo’s mother asked
“Yes, I can.”
“Where do you want to meet?” Lorenzo’s mother asked
“It’s up to you as long as it’s convenient and private.”
“How about we meet at Sans Restaurant in the private room?” Lorenzo’s mother offered.
“Sounds great!”
“Okay. See you at Sans Restaurant tomorrow at 8:00–9:00 p. m.! Don’t forget to come!” asked Lorenzo’s mother.
“Okay.”
At that moment, Lorenzo heard a voice from behind. “Are you not sleeping yet, Honey?”
Lorenzo turned around to find Blanca awake. He answered immediately. “Yes, I’m not sleeping yet.”
“I’m planning to take you to dinner at Sans Restaurant tomorrow at 08:00 p. m.–09:00 p. m. and have dinner there. Do you want to, and can you come?” asked Lorenzo.
Hearing that, Blanca’s eyes lit up. She jumped up and down because she was so happy.
She immediately said. “Seriously?!”
“Yes.” Lorenzo looked seriously into Blanca’s eyes as he nodded his head.
“We haven’t had dinner outside for a long time, right?” Lorenzo asked.
“Yes. It’s been a long time.” Blanca agreed.
“Are the foods delicious there?”
“Yes. The foods are delicious.”
“Well! Can you come?” Lorenzo asked her again.
“Of course I can, honey!” said Blanca as she ran to Lorenzo.
Then she hugged Lorenzo and thanked him. “Thank you, honey! Thank you, honey!”
“You’re welcome, honey!”
“Come on! Let’s go to bed and let’s sleep! It’s getting late,” Blanca invited.
“Okay.” Lorenzo accepted Blanca’s invitation.
He immediately turned off his phone. Then, they walked to their bedroom and slept.
