A Second Life, A New Power novel Chapter 245

Maria actually came out to answer a call. When they were singing the happy birthday song earlier, her phone started ringing, and it was her agent calling. She rejected the call twice, but the agent still called her nonstop.

So, she had no choice but to leave the hall to answer the call.

The reason why her agent was looking for her so anxiously was that there was suddenly a scandal between Maria and a singer. The agent asked her if it was true so that they could come up with an appropriate response online.

Before Maria could answer the question, she saw someone coming out from the opposite hall. So, she hurriedly said it wasn't true and ended the call before hiding in the shadows.

The agent called her back a few seconds later, and she hurriedly put her phone on silent. Maria wanted to secretly see what Demi's family was actually like.

In the end, she had seen the truth for herself. If Demi told Maria how the Pitt family treated her in the past, Maria would only have a faint idea of the situation. However, that faint idea had become crystal clear at that moment.

Basically, they were all monsters who couldn't think clearly, casting their actual daughter aside and pampering someone else's daughter. Not only that, but they were also arrogant after hurting someone's feelings and showed no sign of remorse.

Stephen's gaze darkened. After watching Maria leave, he glared at Michelle coldly and said with a harrumph, "Let's stop embarrassing ourselves and leave now!"

…

This time, Demi had received too many gifts.

She didn't know who it was, but someone smart had given her a pink suitcase. So, some of the people helped Demi put the other gifts into the suitcase.

Actually, that smart person was none other than Felix. Although he could be clumsy at times, he could be very thoughtful as well, and it was easy to tell if he had put any thought into something.

When he noticed how many gifts Demi had received and how she didn't have a way to pack them up, he told his driver to get a suitcase. Then, he gave it to Demi anonymously.

In order to make sure she knew what it was and how it could be used to carry the other gifts, there was only a ribbon on the suitcase.

After they put all the gifts in the suitcase, a few young gentlemen wanted to help Demi carry it. However, Felix swiftly did it first. He placed the suitcase in his car, and Demi was busy saying goodbye to the crowd.

…

When Felix returned home, a middle-aged policeman was already waiting for him in the living room. Felix's housekeeper was entertaining their guest.

The policeman, Zack Murtins, was the person who visited Demi to get her statement back then.

"Show me the surveillance footage," said Felix as he took off his coat and approached Zack. The housekeeper, Jackie Harken, grabbed the coat and hung it aside. Then, Jackie left the living room quietly.

Felix liked a quiet surrounding. So, the housekeepers in the house would usually do their tasks when he wasn't around. When they were done with their work, they would all leave silently.

Zack took out a tablet and swiped on it before passing it to Felix. After Felix grabbed it, he sat in front of Zack. Then, Felix started playing the footage.

It started when the accident happened. Then, Felix saw how the Pitt family closed the door and left by themselves. Seeing that, Felix frowned slowly.
