Chapter 66 I’ll Be There Right Away
When Evan received Caroline’s call, he had just arrived at the orphanage.
Frowning slightly, he glanced at the name on his phone screen and wondered, “Why is she calling
me at this hour?”
He picked up the call and before he could speak, he heard Caroline’s vigorous coughing.
“Evan, save me!” Caroline shouted anxiously, her voice filled with desperation.
Evan’s handsome face immediately darkened, his eyes turning cold. “Where are you?”
“I’m at Cloude Orphanage, in the old shack at the back,” Caroline managed to say amidst her
coughs. “Someone Cough! Cough! Someone purposely set the place on fire and locked me inside.
Cough! Cough. Evan! Save me! Cough! I can’t get out!”
Upon hearing her words, Evan’s gaze shifted to the orphanage, his expression filled with a chilling
determination. Without wasting any time, he opened the car door and swiftly stepped out.
“Caroline, cover your mouth and find an air vent. Stand near it. I’m coming right away.”
Reuben, noticing something was amiss, quickly exited the car and asked, “Mr. Jordan, what’s
happening?”
Evan quickly briefed him, saying, “Gather some men and head to the old shack at the back of the
orphanage immediately. Caroline is trapped there.”
With that, he rushed into the orphanage, his heart pounding with worry. Running towards the rear of the

following closely behind him attempted to kick the door open.
After a few forceful kicks, the door swung open, revealing the third shack that was engulfed in
flames.
Evan’s heart skipped a beat as he called out, “Caroline!”
Caroline was hiding under the window in the shack. When she heard Evan’s voice, she
immediately responded, “Evan! I’m here!”
Evan glanced at the door that was secured with an iron lock. He screamed coldly, “Stay back!”
Then, he forcefully kicked the door open
Dense smoke gushed out of the shack.
Fanning away the smoke with his hand, Evan spotted Caroline trembling and coughing in a corner.
Without waiting for the bodyguards‘ assistance, he darted into the fire, determined to save
her.

Caroline, having inhaled a significant amount of smoke, felt dizzy and weak. Her legs failed to support
her when she tried to stand up. Evan’s expression hardened as he crouched down and swiftly lifted her
before rushing out of the burning room.
He carried her back to the car and scolded her fiercely as she settled in. “Are you out of your mind?
Why did you come here alone? If I hadn’t arrived, you would have been burned to death.”
k you.”
Caroline sniffled, her voice hoarse. Thank
She sounded very sincere.
Her gratitude touched Evan, causing his anger to subside. He calmed down and noticed the folders she
held in her arms. Frowning, he asked, “What did you manage to retrieve from there?”
Regaining her composure, Caroline carefully placed the documents on her lap. She switched on the
car lamp and anxiously searched through the documents,
Evan’s eyes narrowed. “Are you looking for information about the time you spent in the
orphanage?”
Her hands momentarily froze as she realized something. Looking up at Evan, she asked, confused,
“How did you get here so quickly?”
Evan glared at her. “Have you become dumb from all the smoke?”
Caroline attempted to calm herself down, recollecting what Evan had just told her. He had asked if she
was looking for information, which she now realized. Shocked, she stared at him and asked, Do you
know something?”
Evan picked up a set of information from her lap. “Your father told me that you were adopted by
your mother.”
Caroline was stunned. Questions flooded her mind. ‘He knew it all along? Why didn’t he tell me? How
did he arrive so quickly? Did he come here with his men to search for information?‘
Caroline blinked, her mind in a daze. “Did you find anything?”
“No,” Evan replied, growing frustrated. “Caroline, let me ask you one last time.”

“I don’t know.” Caroline knew what he wanted to ask, so she interrupted him. I’ve lost my
memories.”
Evan furrowed his brows, briefly scrutinizing her before returning his attention to the information. They
searched for a long time, but found no details about Caroline’s adoption or even a photograph
resembling her.

Disappointed, Caroline glanced at the scattered information in the car and remarked, “Well,
everything’s gone now. The remaining information was burned together with the shack.”
Evan’s eyes narrowed. “You mentioned on the phone that someone deliberately set the place on
fire?”
Caroline nodded and proceeded to recount the events leading up to the fire in great detail.
After a moment of silence, Evan let out a cold laugh. “The person who destroyed the information
might have knowledge about your background. Moreover, the person who attacked you on two
previous occasions could very well be the same individual.”
Caroline felt a surge of fear upon hearing his words. “Are you suggesting that they are enemies of
my parents?”
“Enemies?” Evan’s gaze grew intense. “Why do you assume it’s their enemies?”
Caroline averted her eyes. “I have the right to withhold answers to your questions.”
Without any leads, she couldn’t reveal her mother’s warnings to Evan just yet.
