Matthew's face was broody. "Selina, things with Saoirse are related to Reid and Caroline." Selina was astonished. "Do you mean that Saoirse worked with Caroline and Reid?" Matthew denied that claim. "No, not really. Saoirse was most likely tricked by them. Anyways, both of them plotted lots of things, including the fake recording. Caroline and Reid were in on all of these together." Selina was in utter shock.
"What else did the both of them do? Were they plotting behind our backs all this time? Why would they do that?" Selina asked in shock.
Matthew's eyes were dark, void of any emotion.
There was one thing that he had yet to tell Selina.
That was, he found out that Lothar and Reid had always been in contact.
Before Lothar knew or met Selina, he was already in contact with Reid.
Moreover, Lothar and Selina's encounter was indeed planned, just like what Reid said.
However, now that Selina was pregnant, he didn't dare to let Selina know because he was worried that she would be too worked up.
He held Selina's hand and said softly, "No matter what their purpose is, we've already found out about it. It's useless for them to do anything to us now. Don't worry, Selina. They can't harm us anymore," "They are in the United States now, right? I heard you ask your people to go to the US and catch them?" Selina asked.
Matthew nodded. "Yes, they went to the US after I cback from Germany." A sharp light flashed in Selina's eyes. "Then, we must catch them. I want to know what kind of evil deeds they have done!" More importantly, she had to find out where Lothar was by questioning Reid! In the Yethan family.
Caroline cfrom a prestigious family.
Her father was a university professor, so she had the upper hand when it cto her family background.
It was a pity that Caroline's mother had passed away long ago. Caroline was the only child, thus only Caroline and her dad were left.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCaroline had a close relationship with her father.
Hover Yethan, her dad, was the only relative Caroline had left in the world.
That night, Caroline and Hover were having dinner at home.
Hover had personally prepared these dishes. All of them were Caroline's favourite.
Caroline smiled and picked up a piece of roast pork. "Dad, the roast pork you make suits my taste the most." There was a tinge of emotion in his tone. "Since you like my cooking so much, don't leave the house in the future. You've been in Glevania for so long. It has been really lonely forto stay here alone. I need you by my side since I'm getting old." Hover's words struck Caroline's heart like a blunt weapon.
She began to feel sad.
She knew that her father was old and needed someone to accompany him.
Thinking of this, her hatred for Selina deepened.
If it weren't for Selina, why would she stay in Agaphen City for such a long time? "Dad, don't worry. I'll be with you in the future," Caroline said.
Selina's matter was about to be solved anyway! When the hatred in her heart was dissipated once and for all, she would stay with her father.
Caroline's father nodded with gratification. "That's good. I don't have any other wishes. I just want to see my daughter every day." Just then, the doorbell rang.
"Dad, I'll open the door. I think it's Joshua looking for you to play chess," Caroline said.
Joshua was their next-door neighbour who enjoyed playing chess. Occasionally, he'd drop by to have a gwith Hover. Caroline opened the door.
A group of bodyguards clothed in black suddenly rushed in.
She was dumbfounded.
"Who are you?" After processing what was happening, Caroline immediately shouted, "Get out of here. This is private property. You are trespassing. You are breaking the law. I'm going to call the police to arrest you," The group of bodyguards remained unmoved.
Their leader said, "Miss Yethan, cwith us," Caroline was on her guard as she took a step back and said, "Why should I go with you? Get out of here! This is my house! You will be shot to death if you break into private property in the US. Get out of here! The leader did not treat Caroline badly despite her arrogant tone as she was a lady and a pretty one at that. He said, "Miss Yethan, we are from Agaphen City. Someone ordered us to bring you backelet Agȧphen City. You must go with us. If you still resist, don't blme for using force on you," Caroline's expression instantly changed.
Agaphen City! They were people from Agaphen City! Could it be that the things between her and Reid have been exposed? "Did you guys cto bringback because of Selina?" Caroline shouted.
The bodyguard did not reply but only pressed on, "Miss Yethan, please cwith us," Before Caroline knew it, the leader signaled several of his other bodyguards and they surrounded Caroline in a swift moment.
Caroline was shocked and angry.
"Get out of here. This is America, not Agaphen City. Get out of here!" There was no use for Caroline to shout. Very soon, the bodyguards tied her up.
Just as they were about to drag Caroline out, a male voice suddenly rang out.
"Let go of my daughter!" At spoint, her father had dashed out.
He held a gun in his hand. "Let go of my daughter! Hurry up, or I'll shoot!"
The bodyguards who cto catch Caroline were all Matthew's right-hand men They were all from nordes special forces and were definitely not frightened by the gun in Hover's hand. They continued to drag Caroline out as if they hadn't seen her father.
Hover gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger.
Bang.
A loud gunshot could be heard.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHover fell to the ground.
The gun had misfired.
The bullet went through Hover's chest.
A large amount of blood gushed out of her father's chest.
"Dad!" Caroline began thrashing around and fought all with hernight against the bodyguard to be by her dad's side. "Dad, are you okay? Dad, open your eyes and look at me," Caroline cried.
Hover's eyes were shut tightly and he showed no reaction.
Caroline saw that blood was flowing out of
e Hover's chest and she quickly used both her bare hands to press on the bullet wound. However no matter how hard she applied pressure on it, blood continued flowing and her hands were stained with her father's blood. The sight of her father's bright red blood against her fair hands was particularly horrifying.
"Sir, what should we do?" A bodyguard looked awkwardly at their leader.
No one knew that such a thing would happen.
The leader didn't know what to do as well.
Should they take Caroline away during such a situation? If they didn't, police would soon cby.
While the leader hesitated, a group of armed policemen suddenly barged into the house.
