“I thought it was just a prank. I had nothing to lose anyway, so I came here to see for myself,” said
Kirk
“I didn’t expect to meet you two here. How did you know about this place?”
“Says the perpetrator, Gwen complained.
“Why didn’t you tell Carol that you came here for Howard? Why did you lie by telling her that you were
on a business trip?
“You made us think that you’re up to no good again.” Gwen wasn’t pleased.
Hearing this, Kirk turned to Caroline to apologize to her. “Sorry, darling. It’s not that I didn’t want to tell
you about it. I was just afraid that you would…”
It dawned on Gwen that she had misunderstood Kirk all this time. Howard was the person who had
caused Jude’s death, while Caroline had witnessed the entire thing.
She hadn’t even recovered from the trauma that Howard had caused her. So seeing Howard was akin
to sending her on a trip down memory lane to the day of Jude’s death.
Gwen regretted her decision terribly. She shouldn’t have brought Caroline here. They shouldn’t
have met Kirk here either.
Noticing the look of guilt on Gwen’s face, Caroline tried to comfort her. “I’m fine. Don’t worry, you
two.”
The harm Howard had done to her was horrible, but Jude’s death was the last straw that deepened
the hatred she had toward him.
She approached him, her eyes boring into his. She wanted to skin him alive so badly.
“I never expected you to live to this day, Howard,” Caroline spat. Her hands balled into fists, but
they did nothing to stop her from trembling with rage.
“If it hadn’t been for the law, you would be dead hundreds of times over.”
She hated him to the bone. Sometimes, she hated him as a person, while sometimes she wished
that she was the one who had taken the bullet.
Howard whimpered incomprehensibly with his eyes locked on Kirk.

“Your husband is Eddy’s second uncle!” He tried to tell her this, but to no avail. The tape on his
mouth prevented him from making a single coherent sound. He couldn’t tell her the truth.
Gwen didn’t want to stay in the basement any longer. Although Caroline claimed that she was
alright, as her bestie after all these years, Gwen was sure that the former had only said that to
comfort her.
“Carol, let’s get out of here. Kirk will handle the rest.”
Caroline turned to look at Kirk, who said, “Yes, darling. You two should leave for now.”
Still, she couldn’t help but worry for him. “What do you plan to do with him?”
“I’ll hand him over to the people in charge.” Kirk smiled to reassure her.
“You should leave. There’s no ventilation in here. It’s not good for your health.”
Eventually, Caroline nodded. “You should head upstairs as quickly as possible too.”
“Okay,” Kirk said.
Only then did Caroline leave the basement with Gwen.
The chauffeur, who was waiting outside, sighed in relief when he saw the two women leaving the
villa in a calm manner. Apparently, things were fine. novelbin
After getting into the car, Gwen fell silent for a moment before glancing at Caroline. “Carol, stop
looking out the window. Are you afraid that Kirk will beat Howard up?” Gwen laughed.
Caroline kept glancing out the window from time to time. She nodded after hearing what Gwen
had said. Indeed, she was worried about this. After all …
Noticing this, Gwen instantly came up with an idea to divert Caroline’s attention. “Who do you
think sent Kirk the message? Was it Eddy’s second uncle?”
“I don’t think so,” Caroline answered absentmindedly. “If it really had been Eddy’s second uncle, he
wouldn’t have had any reason to keep it a secret. He could just be straightforward with Kirk.”
Gwen pursed her lips in thought. “Who knows? Maybe he has eyes for you.”
Now that got Caroline’s attention. She met Gwen’s eyes and said, “Gwen, that’s nonsense. We’ve
