Love Comes To Me
Chapter 1384: Someone is following you

"What's wrong with you?" Mark asked with concern, seeing that something was wrong with her.

Paulina lowered her head and thought silently for a moment before looking up and smiling slightly, "Nothing." "Really?" she hadn't just reacted like it was okay.

"Really." Paulina looked around, there were no suspicious characters.

Maybe it was really her own delusion, or maybe she shouldn't say anything to worry Marcos.

Marcos looked at her, looking thoughtful.

"I'm tired, let's go home." Paulina said.

"Okay."

It was almost eleven when we got home, so Paulina took a bath and went to bed, probably because she was so tired.

Marcos tucked her in and turned around to leave the room.

Once in the study, he immediately called Alfredo and Eliazar and asked them to come over.

After about twenty minutes, the two men arrived at the same time.

"Prince, is it something important for us to come at this hour?" asked Alfredo as he spoke first.

He had been sound asleep when he received the call.

Eliazar saw that Marcos looked very grave and said, "Isn't it nonsense what you ask? It must be something important, else how could the prince have asked us to come so late?" Alfredo looked at him suspiciously, "I asked about the prince, not you."

"I ..."

Eliazar tried to reply, but no sooner had he opened his mouth than he was coldly interrupted by Marcos: "Help me investigate something."

When they got to the matter, Alfredo and Eliazar immediately looked at each other.

"What is it you wish to investigate, Prince?" asked Alfredo.

Marcos remembered Paulina's reaction on the mountaintop and his eyes narrowed slightly, "Someone is following Paulina."

"Following?"

Alfredo and Eliazar exclaimed at the same time.

Marcos pondered for a moment, "I felt someone was watching me and Paulina tonight."

Alfredo frowned, "Could it have been just an illusion?"

"Impossible." Marcos raised his eyes, his cold gaze settled on her face, and said with special assurance, "I felt it clearly, and Paulina felt it too. Only she didn't tell him.

Eliazar bowed his head, "Prince, I will send someone to check at once."

"Check yes, but it must be done secretly so as not to alert the snake."

He didn't want to alert those hiding in the shadows.

"Yes." Eliazar replied respectfully.

"Prince, there are people following you now, so you'd better be careful going in and out and try not to go to the less crowded places." Alfredo said. Marcos nodded, "I know. You guys go about your business."

"Yes."

Alfredo and Eliazar took their orders and hurried out.

...

Earlene was still pressuring Rawlins through her lawyer to hurry up and get her out.

"Chairman, I'm afraid if the lady keeps this up, her mind will crumble." Javiero's lawyer worried.

Rawlins reached up to rub his sore forehead and chuckled to himself, "I think I'm the one who's going to have a nervous breakdown."

He hadn't slept well since Earlene's accident.

"So you're going to watch the lady go to jail, president?" Attorney Javiero asked.

"When did I ever say that?" Rawlins lowered his hand, frowning, and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Attorney Javiero ducked his head in fear, "Of course you didn't say that, President, but you can't just stand idly by, can you? The lady is in a very bad way." Every time he went to see Earlene, it was clear that she was getting worse and worse, and if things continued like this, she would really break down. "How many people have I approached, but they don't want to help, what can I do?".

At the mention of this, Rawlins couldn't help but be annoyed.

During this period of time, he had reached out to as many contacts as he could and had lowered his stance to beg people, but they just didn't want to help. To be more precise, they weren't willing to get involved in this mess.

They would rather offend the Bartram family than the Leoz Group and the Khan Group.

That's how realistic people are.

"If this drags on and the case goes to trial, then the lady's guilt will be completely fixed and she will be jailed, and by then we will indeed be on the hook." Although Attorney Javiero doesn't say so, Rawlins knows things are really serious.

But come to think of it, hadn't Earlene brought this on herself?

If she had listened, he wouldn't be in this situation.

But Rawlins couldn't bear to think about it, and a sigh escaped him, "I'll think of something else."

...

Rawlins asked his assistant to contact Edgar, but as soon as he heard it was about the Bartram family, the call was dropped without a word.

The Khan Group's attitude was very clear.

The Bartram family was completely out of line.

"What should we do?" The assistant looked at Rawlins a little breathlessly.

Rawlins grimaced, "Dial back."

The assistant had to dial again and this time the caller quickly answered, "Our president has said that if this is a request for favors, it's off the table." After saying this, without waiting for the assistant to say anything, he hung up the phone.

"The president ...," the assistant shot Rawlins a helpless look.

Rawlins sighed heavily, waved his hand and said, "Forget it. You get out."

As the assistant walked out, a bitter smile tugged at the corners of Rawlins' mouth.

Because of what had happened, everyone had shunned the Bartram family and no one was willing to help at all.

He was tired, too.

Let's leave it at that.

Evening.

Rawlins returned home and was met by a stern voice: "Rawlins, how did it go?".

He had forgotten the old woman was there.

He picked up his steps and called out, "Grandma.

"Did I ask you how things went?" The old woman looked at him with a serious expression.

Rawlins hesitated before answering truthfully, "No one is willing to help."

"Didn't your grandfather and your parents' old friends who used to be there want to help?" the old woman asked. Rawlins nodded.

"How can that be? Several of them have received favors from your also future grandfather, so how could ...?"

How could the old woman not believe that these people would not help.

"Grandma, this is a different time. I can understand them, after all, this involves The Leoz family and The Khan family."

No sooner had Rawlins' words been spoken than the old woman suddenly became excited, "Are we going to see Earlene go to jail?"

Just thinking about what Earlene was going through in the detention center, the old woman rubbed her chest and lamented, "My poor Earlene, who never suffered anything growing up, has to suffer when she grows up, it's all my fault as a grandmother!"

"Grandma, calm down, you're barely recovering, you can't take the stimulation." Rawlins rushed to her knees and squeezed her knee, whispering soothingly.

"Rawlins," the old woman looked at him, "if you want Grandma to recover, you must hurry and replace a way to get Earlene out."

"Grandma." Rawlins had a headache. "Right now, all I can do is get a lawyer to defend the case and get Earlene's sentence reduced. It's only a few years that will go by in the blink of an eye..."

"You bastard!" The old woman scolded sternly, "She's your sister, and you're going to stand by and watch her go to jail?"

"Grandma, I don't have a choice here."

If there was a way, I would have rescued the person a long time ago.
