Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2672: Chapter 1920: Familiar Face! (2)

”Ah, isn’t this that...that person!” Lin Weiwei pointed at Robert and exclaimed to Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled warmly from a distance and slowly said, ”Mr. Robert, we meet again. I didn’t expect it to be here and now. How is your leg injury; is it healed?”

The Robert beside Lorna was none other than Caroline’s brother, the man who once pursued Bai Yuefeng aggressively.

Later, it was said that he broke his leg and recuperated at home, and since then, there was no news.

Who would have thought, at this moment, they would meet again here; life is full of surprises indeed.

The first reaction of Bai Xiaosheng and his companions was to wonder if Robert was sent by his sister Caroline to secretly deal with them.

”Mr. Bai, long time no see!”

Robert also greeted Bai Xiaosheng loudly.

He could never forget this man who brought great losses to his sister.

They indeed know each other... Lorna stared blankly at both sides, her face growing increasingly pale.

If they knew she was a thief, they’d definitely tell Robert.

What to do, what to do! That was just what she was planning to confess to Robert.

However, the gorilla just said...

Fear surged from Lorna’s heart, stronger than ever before.

”Mr. Robert, your female companion, she’s a thief.” Lei Ying spoke again, directly stating the words Lorna feared most.

Yet the next moment shocked Lorna.

Robert put his arm around Lorna’s shoulder and calmly said to Lei Ying, ”I know, but I’d rather call her a Female Robin Hood.”

Upon hearing this, Lorna stared dumbfounded at Robert.

Robert looked down at her with a smile and, without shying away from Bai Xiaosheng and his companions, announced loudly, ”I know about your past actions; you did it only to support yourself and the children you found on the street back then. I also know that after they went to the orphanage, you’ve rarely done such things again. I don’t look down on you at all. I’ve always thought of you as a Robin Hood, a heroine in my heart.”

These words made Lorna tremble all over, her eyes red.

”I shouldn’t have lied to you, Robert, I’m sorry,” Lorna sobbed.

”I’m sorry, I’ve also deceived you,” Robert said with a wry smile, ”I’m not an ordinary traveler; I have a large family in North America...”

”I know.” Lorna buried her head in Robert’s arms, crying, ”You rascal, the wallet back then wasn’t something I found; I took it.”

Robert laughed heartily, patting Lorna’s head, ”I knew all along, kid.”

There they were on the street, speaking one word at a time, crying and laughing, attracting curious glances from passersby.

Bai Xiaosheng and his companions just watched.

Lin Weiwei mumbled quietly to Bai Xiaosheng, ”Xiaosheng, why do I feel like I’m watching a TV drama...”

Lei Ying watched the pair coldly and said in a deep voice, ”One’s a female thief, and the other...didn’t he like Miss Bai Yuefeng? What’s he doing here deceiving a girl?”

Bai Xiaosheng kept observing Robert and Lorna’s expressions, halted Lei Ying from saying more, stepped forward, and gently said to Robert and Lorna, ”This is not the place to talk. There’s a café over there; why don’t we go sit for a bit?”

Robert and Lorna saw the café, hesitated momentarily, then both nodded.

And so, Bai Xiaosheng and his companions, along with Robert and Lorna, entered the café and found a quiet corner to sit.

Lorna and Robert sat together like ordinary lovers, while Bai Xiaosheng and his companions sat opposite them.

After sitting down, the first thing Robert did was apologize for Lorna and ”clear” her name, ”I’m sorry, if Lorna offended you before, blame it on me. Also, it was really tough for her living on the streets back then with a bunch of kids. The smallest of them even needed milk. Think about a teenage girl coping with that; she didn’t do anything terribly wrong, and what she did could be considered a great deed, couldn’t it.”

After hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng and his companions looked at Lorna, feeling not dislike but rather a deep respect.

”How do you know all of this?” Lorna asked shyly, being praised by Robert.

”I also know your reluctance to send those kids to the orphanage because you feared they’d be bullied and feared separation from them.” Robert gently stroked Lorna’s hair, ”The nun who convinced you about the orphanage was found by me. I also donated a significant sum to the orphanage; they will take care of those kids, send them to study, and they won’t live a life of hunger and cold anymore. Whenever you want to visit them, I’m happy to accompany you.”

Lorna looked at Robert in surprise, tears welling in her eyes again, nodding repeatedly.

Seeing this side of Robert, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying exchanged glances.

This Robert was utterly different from the playboy they had met before; now, he had become exceptionally tender.

It seemed men had to go through some hardships to mature, perhaps like breaking a leg...

Nevertheless, through Robert’s explanation, they began to feel increasingly positive about Lorna.

Not experiencing someone’s suffering firsthand, you shouldn’t comment on good or evil lightly; this saying indeed makes sense.

”It seems Mr. Robert has genuinely found someone he likes here and is willing to do some charitable work, which is wonderful.” Bai Xiaosheng smiled.
