Chapter 1169

After having breakfast with Alex and two people in the morning, Maria had nothing else to do. She went upstairs and rested in the bedroom. As soon as she lay down, she received a call from Pardee. Half a year ago, the two of them, Pardee and Perla, returned to the hometown of the Mount Chaya in Y City. Since then, he had never wanted to come back. "Where are you?" As soon as the phone was connected, the voice of Pardee sounded. "I..." Maria looked around the room, thought for a moment and said, "I'm on a business trip abroad." The reason why she didn't tell Pardee the truth was that she was afraid that he would find out something. "A business trip?" The man snorted. He didn't believe Maria at all. "Yes, on a business trip." "Are you going to keep it from me?" "What are you talking about? I don't understand what you are talking about." Maria's heart skipped a beat. She thought that Pardee must have heard some rumors, otherwise she wouldn't have said in such a strange tone.
