Daniel Cooper's expression briefly seized when he heard the news, indicating it had already spread, even she was aware of it.
Just as he was considering how to phrase an explanation, he was interrupted by the buzzing vibration of his phone.
Seeing him not reaching to answer it after a while, Amelia could not help but urge him, "Answer the phone, it's noisy."
Daniel Cooper's gaze remained fixed on her lively and charming face as he reached into his pocket for his phone.
Amelia caught a glimpse of the name on the screen from the corner of her eye.
Lilian Parker.
Then she laughed, a cool and clear laugh, like water from a deep pool on a winter's day.
Transparent, yet bone-chilling.
Daniel Cooper could clearly see the sarcasm spreading across her eyes, brows, and every inch of her face; his eyes darkened in an instant, and he answered the call on speakerphone.
