“Why don’t you eat this?” Sonia placed the plate of pasta on the bedside table.
Caroline shook her head, to which Sonia said, “You can’t refuse this. Your body is a precious gift from God. You must
eat, even if the world falls apart.”
Then, Caroline turned to look at her with dull and spiritless eyes. Her lips parted, but no words came out.
Sonia knelt on the carpeted floor and glanced up at Caroline. “Can you tell me what happened?”
The corners of Caroline’s lips twitched, but her attempt at a smile failed.
Sonia gripped her hands and said, “It’s okay. You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to, and you don’t have to
eat this if you don’t feel like it. I’ll stay here with you. Just tell me what you want, alright?”
Eventually, Caroline nodded. Feeling much relieved, Sonia stood up and walked to the side of the bed to draw the

The darkness was rather welcoming, and it gave Caroline a sense of security. She curled up in her blankets and
closed her eyes, letting her tears flow.
Sonia watched from the side. She suddenly remembered how Kirk had sped all the way here, and she took out her
phone to message him. “Caroline’s let me into the room. Don’t worry. -Sonia”
After that, she pondered for a moment before sending him another message.
“I don’t know what happened between you two, but Caroline once told me that you’re having an affair with another
woman. I think she’s become like this because of it.
“I haven’t known you two for long, but I can see that you truly like her. Since you like her so much, can’t you settle
things with the other woman?
“I know that I shouldn’t meddle in your business, but Caroline helped me before this, so I don’t
want to see her suffer.”
Kirk read the message line by line, his gaze as cold as ice. It was as though a blade had stabbed
right through his heart when he reached the words “Caroline” and “suffer“.
He punched the steering wheel hard. Somehow, the thing that hurt wasn’t his hand but his heart.
A shadow fell across his face as he dialed Charles‘ number. “I’m giving you a week to find out who that mysterious
person and Dolly are! This is your final chance!”
Despite the distance between them, Charles could feel the murderous edge in Kirk’s voice. He straightened his
back and said, “Sir-”
“Five days!”
Charles inhaled sharply. He hadn’t even said anything!
“Three!”
“Five days it is!” Charles said.
“Don’t worry. I’ll give you every bit of information about them in five days!” He hung up before Kirk could end the

Charles wore a stern expression as he walked into the computer lab. With one hand raised in the air, he said,
“Everybody, freeze.”
Everyone in the room looked at him. Noticing the serious look on his face, they didn’t dare to utter a single word.
Charles then said, “Find out who Dolly and that mysterious person are. You have four days‘ time.”
Everyone held their breath. They were in so much distress that they didn’t have any energy to even wail at the
news.
Charles started to leave when he was finished talking, and the person in charge rushed after him. “‘
Charles, hold on.”
Charles stopped and waited for the barrage of questions that was bound to follow.
“Can I ask you something? About the deal related to Dolly and that mysterious person… How
many zeros are involved in it? Why do we have to look into this matter so urgently?
“We’ve been on it for a long time, and we’ve spent way too many resources already.”
He added, “If this continues, it could only mean that this deal is worth hundreds of billions.”
In answer to these, Charles simply stared at the man and said, “To Mr. Morrison, it’s priceless.”
