Karina choked back her tears and said, “Barlow, from now on, I’LL take care of Haleigh. Rest in peace.”
The sea breeze whipped through, tousling Karina’s long hair, while seagulls above circled, their cries
echoing in the distance.
Not far away, a man in a parked car captured the scene with his camera before driving off.
Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office at Hughes Group, Brian sat in his chair, attentively listening to Edwin’s
report.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Mr. Hughes, it appears that Mrs. Hughes’ presence in the building last night might not have been of
her own volition. She was brought there by a woman’s bodyguard. The woman’s name is Kennedi
Reed.
Kennedi is the daughter of the former leader of Sun Group. Karina was also taken away at the same
time last night.”
Upon hearing Edwin’s report, Brian narrowed his eyes in thought.
Sun Group?
Wasn’t that the company Barlow had taken over?
Could it be that Kennedi had come to Wragos seeking revenge for her father’s downfall?
But what puzzled Brian was why she had kidnapped both Rosalynn and Karina at the same time.
As Brian delved deeper into his thoughts, he recalled Rosalynn mentioning that Karina had feelings for
Barlow.
Did Barlow reciprocate those feelings?
Could Kennedi have kidnapped them and forced Barlow to choose whom to save first?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnd did Barlow ultimately choose Rosalynn?
These questions left Brian lost in thought, his expression a web of complexity.
He believed that a person’s true character emerged in moments of crisis, but doubts nagged at him.
Did Barlow truly love Rosalynn?
However, Brian felt that something was wrong.
His fingers drummed rhythmically on the table.
He couldn’t help but imagine himself in Kennedi’s shoes. Could she genuinely accept seeing her
enemy saving the person he loved deeply?
Why had she kidnapped Rosalynn and Karina in the first place?
Brian thought about it, and an idea suddenly popped into his mind.
Could it be that Karina was the one Barlow truly loved?
