Chapter 801 - Off To London (1/2)

Did Sarah suspect that London was posing as an ordinary person?

London nodded. ”I'm not an entertainment person or an artist who needs an alias.”

”Ahh ... I see. I think usually photographers also use aliases,” Sarah said, shrugging.

”Hmm .. yes, famous photographers ... maybe. Well, I'm just an ordinary person,” London replied. He tried to divert the discussion to Sarah's travel stories so that they would no longer talk about him or even things related to L. ”You must have taken lots of good photos while traveling around the world. What camera are you using?”

Sarah seemed very happy because London asked a lot about herself and her exciting travel experiences while enjoying their dinner. She thought the man was so attracted to her that he wanted to know her more.

She was happy to talk about her various adventures around the world, her activities as a traveler who had many followers on social media, and about the books she wrote. When the desserts arrived, London already knew so much information about Sarah, while he didn't say much about himself.

At 19.45, when their dinner was almost over, London excused himself to the restroom. He was agitated because he didn't get news about L for almost two hours. Meanwhile, he felt that he would be disrespectful toward his date if he took out his cellphone while having dinner with someone to find news about L.

Once he was in the restroom, he immediately took out his cellphone to call Jan. London was so shocked when he found out there were some missed calls from L. He also saw a text from her in his inbox.

[I've talked to my lawyers and decided to go to England and settle matters with Danny Swann. I brought Lily with me because you didn't pick up my calls.]

”Jeez ...! Why would she go to England alone?” Instantly, London felt alarmed and worried. Why did L decide to go to England so suddenly? Moreover, she brought Lily with her. What if something happened to them??

Before he could call L, London had seen a text from Dave.

[Miss L decided to go to England so suddenly. I am taking two people with me to follow and protect her.]

Hmm ... thankfully the bodyguards were very sharp and could make their own decisions in an emergency. Without waiting for orders from London, Dave had taken the initiative to follow and keep L and Lily safe all the way to England. Now that he knew Dave and his team were protecting his family, London could feel rather calm.

He then called Jan to ask for updates.

”Jan, have you blocked all the negative news about L from the media?” he asked hurriedly as Jan picked up his call.

”We've done our best, but since the news has been circulating for almost 24 hours, it's very difficult to do damage control ...” Jan's voice sounded very apologetic. ”I'm sorry, Sir. This time, the situation is quite complicated.”

London could only frown. He knew that news that had already been read, discussed by the public, and became trending was impossible to block completely. People have read it, and he certainly cannot force people to forget what they have learned. He could influence the media in the future and create the Mandela effect, but it would take a lot of effort.

”Ugh ... L suddenly decided to go to England. Do you know what the plan is?” he asked Jan.

”Sorry, Sir. I am not sure. What was clear was that Miss L came to her lawyer's office after returning from the BMM building. She stayed there for several hours.” Jan answered doubtfully. ”Maybe Miss L wants to make sure George Swann's will contained her name, ...”

”So what?” asked London impatiently.

”Looks like Miss L wants to make a deal with Danny Swann about the inheritance.”
