Stranger's In Love
81| BY SHE KILL SOMEONE?

Tae-O manages to hack into Cassandra's phone. There wasn't much he found on that phone, there was only one surprising thing on his call history. Cassandra also got an incoming call from a number with the Hong Kong Country code which is the same number as the number that often contacts Gerald. However, Cassandra only got that call occasionally, judging from her history Cassandra only got that call every month end.

“Who actually owns the number with this Hong Kong Country code?” tae-o thought then sipped his cup of coffee latte.

Tae-O stops hacking Cassandra's phone because there is nothing to investigate from there. Now Tae-O is thinking how he can hack the number with the Hong Kong Country code. In terms of distance is already very unlikely to be able to hack it, he is only able to track the existence of the signal number.

“Did you find anything?” Irene asked the point as she arrived at the cafe.

Tae-O turns to look at Irene then shakes a weak nod. “They are very clean, Noona. It's just that Cassandra also got a call from the number with the Hong Kong country code, but only every month end.”

Irene pulls up the chair then sits in front of Tae-O, she massages the frustrated head. Why are there so many problems he encounters. Irene was worried about Alice, but could not reach her. Irene suspects Gerald, but can't find any evidence. Irene was also dizzy thinking about her household and the Lorwerth family ultimatum, completely dizzying.

“What will we do, Noona? We've lost track of Gerald and found nothing on Cassandra's phone,” Tae-O sounded desperate.

“Should we ask Cassandra directly?” Irene asked, causing Tae-O to round her eyes.

“Noona! Are you crazy? What are you gonna ask Cassandra? Even I think your question will only intimidate him and then he will definitely report to someone who is behind all this and after that our history, Noona, ends,” Tae-O protests that disagree with Irene's crazy idea.

“Tae-O,” call Irene trying to calm Tae-O's worries.

“Don't you think Cassandra might not know anything. It could be that the business he runs in Lee Da Museum is not a business that he knows very well the ins and outs,” said Irene.

Tae-O scratches his itchy head. “So you mean there is a possibility that Cassandra is just doing business without knowing what business she actually runs?”

Irene shakes. “Entah, only Cassandra can answer.”

Tae-O clucked. “Then what if Cassandra is also involved in this dark business? What if we asked and she felt intimidated and then she reported to someone who was behind all this and it was certain that we were going to doom, Noona. I really don't want to die young in this silly way. We don't even know who we're dealing with-”

“Stop, Tae-O!” Irene interrupts Tae-O's conversation.

“You don't have to worry, I'll talk to Cassandra. I will not involve you in this matter,” continued Irene.

“But, Noona. It's too dangerous, instead of you seeing what dark business Gerald runs,” bans Tae-O, he worries about Irene.

Irene got up from her seat, she was about to hurry away. However, Tae-O immediately holds him back.

“Do not be stubborn, Noona!” prevent Tae-O.

Irene grabs Tae-O's hand which blocks her arm firmly. “Take me off, Tae-O. I'll be fine don't worry too much. I promise I'll let you know later after I talk to Cassandra.”

Tae-O let out a long sigh, it is difficult indeed if Irene has been stubborn like this. Tae-O finally relents, he lets Irene go just like that.

Irene arrived at the Mansion. Irene immediately looked for Cassandra, but did not find her anywhere. Irene asked the waiter, no one knew where Cassandra was.

“Where is he?” Irene thought she had taken her phone to contact Cassandra.

“Hallo,” said Irene when the connection was connected.

I heard a cry on the other side of the phone. “I'm afraid, Irene,” shouts Cassandra on the sidelines of her sobs.

“Tell me, where are you?” Irene asked worriedly, but no answer was just sobs heard.

“Please yourself first, Cassandra. Don't worry, I'll see you now,” said Irene and disconnected the connection.

Irene immediately rushes off and contacts Tae-O asking him to track down Cassandra's whereabouts. It didn't take long for Tae-O to find the woman's whereabouts. Irene immediately asks the driver to the address Tae-O sent.

A few minutes later Irene arrived at an apartment, without waiting again she went straight in and headed for the twenty-floor room number five hundred and twelve. Irene pressed the smart doorbell on the door of the apartment.

“This is Irene,” he said seconds later the apartment door was open.

Irene immediately entered and found the room dark, she fumbled around trying to find the switch.

“Cassandra!” irene exclaimed in shock as she managed to turn on the lights in the room.

“Be calm, everything will be fine,” whispered Irene trying to calm down.

Cassandra returned Irene's embrace and cried in her arms. “Hiks…. I'm scared, very scared, hiksss..”.

Irene stroked Cassandra's head. “You can tell me, you can trust me,” Irene said.

It had been nearly fifteen minutes that Cassandra had said nothing more, they were just silent and still hugging each other. Irene patiently waited and tried to continue creating a comfortable situation for Cassandra.

“Are you hungry?” Irene asked suddenly because it seemed like she had just heard a hungry stomach sound.

Slowly Cassandra deciphered her embrace, her trembling hand moved to hold Irene's hand as if asking Irene to help her survive.

“I'm afraid, don't leave me,” I'm sorry Cassandra finally made her voice again.

Irene looked at Cassandra while wiping off the water trail on the woman's cheek. “There's me here, don't be afraid. You can tell me to feel better.”

Cassandra started looking at Irene with her eyes. “I don't know where this all started. I didn't mean to do anything bad, I don't know, Irene. Hiks..”

Irene frowned confusedly, she did not understand the meaning of Cassandra's words at all. “Please yourself, Cassandra. You can tell me slowly, tell me, what's up?”

Cassandra took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, trying to calm herself down.

“Irene,” call Cassandra slowly.

Irene looked at Cassandra in response, she chose silence and waited for Cassandra to tell her everything.

“Yesterday Allan came to me,” said Cassandra with teary eyes.

Irene stroked Cassandra's shoulder trying to strengthen the woman.

“Allan said something that didn't make sense to me. Allan commented on my business, he said Le Da Museum is a dangerous business, hiks.” Cassandra cried, she could not bear to stem her tears.

“But there are things that hurt me more, Allan says I have killed someone,” he continued then Cassandra hugged Irene, shaking.

“Quiet, Cassandra,” said Irene stroking the woman's back.

Cassandra sobbed in her growing cries.

“Say, Irene! How can I calm down after what Allan said is the truth. I have killed someone, I killed the translator, I killed the woman, I killed Akhifa Naila Sabha,” hysterical Cassandra.

The deg! Immediately Irene froze even her mouth suddenly locked. Irene could not say a word, she was completely shocked to hear what Cassandra said. Really it?
