Suddenly, the picture that the woman had sent Caroline back then popped up in her mind.
A young girl in a gown had been beside Kirk, and a certain light had shone in her eyes. Caroline
felt as if a blade had stabbed right through her heart.
It snapped her back into reality, and she hastily pushed Kirk away from her.
Her shove made his heart break a little, but he quickly recomposed himself. “Darling, what’s
wrong?”
Caroline realized what she had done, and she placed one hand on the table for support. Her
thoughts were all jumbled up, and she didn’t know how to explain herself.
Still, she told herself before that she had to stay calm and composed and that she would find proof

After taking a few deep breaths, she finally managed to make up an excuse. “I’m fine. I’m a bit
tired, that’s all. I’ll head upstairs to get some rest first.”
Kirk pursed his lips and said, “Okay.”
Caroline then darted upstairs as if she had been pardoned for an unpardonable sin.
After shutting the door, she sat on the ground helplessly. Anxiety filled her heart when she
recalled how she had almost fallen into his trap just now.
She took out her phone and opened her chat with Marina. She could wait no longer, and she was
determined to get to the end of it. However, there was no news from Marina. 1
Perhaps it was because the Louis Vuitton bag that she had ordered for Marina was still on its way.
Caroline pondered for a moment before deciding to do something against her will. She called one
of the staff members from the store for the shipping details and sent it to Marina.
“I went shopping today and saw a bag that would fit you perfectly. I’m giving it to you, so don’t forget to accept the
parcel when it arrives. -Caroline”
Caroline’s face was emotionless when she typed those words. She seldom went out of her way to
please someone.

Now, though, she had to do this to find out if Kirk was involved in polygamy. This was also to ensure that she could
get out of her misery soon.
Not long after the message was sent, she got a reply from Marina.
“Thank you! You didn’t have to! -Marina”
After that, Marina started explaining that something came up at home, and she hadn’t had the time to contact
Caroline for a while.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCaroline couldn’t care less what excuses Marina gave, so she simply scrolled to the bottom and asked, “Any news?”
“Yes” Marina’s reply came a moment later, and Caroline could finally heave a sigh of relief.
“But the information I’ve gathered is in my office. I’m on holiday, and I’ll only go back to work on Tuesday.”
Caroline instantly knew what this meant. Marina hadn’t even started looking into it.
Despite that, Caroline was asking her for help, so she shouldn’t rush Marina into it. The Louis
Vuitton bag was on the way to Marina too, so there was nothing to worry about now.
“Okay. You have to send it to me on Tuesday, then.”
Marina simply sent her an emoji of a smiling face as a reply. Just like this, her attitude changed
immediately. Caroline didn’t feel like continuing their conversation anymore.
She switched off her phone as she kept on telling herself that she only had to wait for two more
days for all of this to end.
She leaned against the door, and it dawned on her that this was what it felt like for time to pass
excruciatingly slowly.
In the past, she had loved staying at home. Now, she preferred going to work.
She woke up early the next morning and hurriedly freshened herself up to go to work. She tried
her best to move quietly so as not to wake Kirk up.
