    Evan did not pressure Caroline for an answer when she refused to disclose the truth.


    Once the firefighters and police officers arrived at the scene, he escorted her to a nearby hospital


    after she finished giving her testimony.


    The doctor examined her lungs, and upon being assured of her well–being, they departed.


    On her way home, drowsiness overcame Caroline, causing her to identally bump her head


    against the car door from time to time.


    Seeing that, Evan pursed his thin lips and extended his hand, gently supporting her head and


    allowing her to rest it on his shoulder.


    Reuben, who was driving, caught a glimpse of the scene through the rearview mirror and couldn’t


    help but suppress hisughter.


    ‘Mr. Jordan is stubborn, but he does care about Ms. Shenton,‘ Reuben mused to himself.


    Two hourster, they arrived at Vi Rosa.


    Initially, Evan had intended to carry Caroline out of the car, but the moment he touched her legs, she


    abruptly awakened and shrinked back in fear. When she realized it was Evan, she averted her! gaze


    and asked hesitantly, “Are we at Redwood Neighborhood?”


    Redwood Neighborhood was the neighborhood where Caroline rented her house.


    “You’ll be staying at Vi Rosa, Evan replied, his tone devoid of warmth.


    Caroline regained herposure, widening her eyes in surprise. “Vi Rosa? No, I want to go


    home.”


    Evan furrowed his brows, his voice taking on a slightly somber tone. “Caroline, do you think you’ll


    always be this incredibly lucky?”


    Caroline pursed her lips and whispered, “I can hire a few bodyguards.”


    “And for how long do you intend to do that?” Evan scoffed.


    Caroline fell silent, realizing she didn’t have sufficient funds to hire bodyguards indefinitely.


    However, Evan was on the verge of bing engaged to Danie. If Caroline remained at Vi Rosa,


    she would bebeled a homewrecker.


    As they reached an impasse, Reuben’s phone suddenly rang. He stepped out of the car to answer the


    call and hurriedly returned, eximing, “Mr. Jordan, they’ve apprehended the people responsible for


    setting the fire. Do you want them brought here?”

    Caroline immediately lifted her gaze and locked eyes with Evan. A faint smile appeared in his eyes, as


    if he was awaiting her decision.


    Caroline looked away and said, ‘T’ll go home after listening to them.”


    With that, she opened the car door and rushed into the vi.


    At the same time, in International Residence, Danie received a call from Nic.


    *So, you’re telling me that Evan was also at the orphanage?” Danie’s face twisted in anger, her fury


    evident.


    Nic gasped. “Are you seriously fucking caring about Evan at a time like this? My men have been


    caught! If they can’t keep this a secret, you know damn well what awaits me!”


    Danie’s expression tensed. “Nic, I’m begging you. Even if you get caught, don’t expose me. If


    you’re imprisoned, I can help you from the outside. But if we’re both locked up, who knows what


    will be of us?”


    Nicughed coldly. “Danie! I know exactly what kind of person you are. Don’t even dream of having it


    easy if I have to suffer.”


    Danie attempted to persuade him. “Nic, you can’t do this. Just calm down and listen to me. I’ll


    be engaged to Evan in a week, and as his fiancée, it’ll be easy for me to secure your release.”


    “Cut the crap!” Nic erupted in anger. “If it weren’t for you repeatedly pushing me to do these dirty


    jobs for you, would I be facing imprisonment? Pray that I don’t get caught. Motherfucker! If I get


    caught, they’ll push me to the edge.”


    With that, he abruptly ended the call.


    Danie sat on the nearby sofa and contemted quietly. After a while, she retrieved her phone


    and transferred all the money she possessed to Nic. She even sent him a text message: [Nic, lie


    low for now. I’m transferring all my avable funds to you.]


    By the time the culprits were tied up and brought to Vi Rosa, Evan had already retreated to the


    backyard with Caroline.


    With the New Year approaching, the biting cold weather caused Caroline to shiver, despite being


    bundled up inyers of clothing.


    The culprits fared even worse as Evan ordered his subordinates to strip them, leaving them with


    only their boxers


    Caroline stole a quick nce at the man sitting beside her, realizing that only he could devise


    such a legally torturous method to deal with people.

    Evan instructed his subordinate, Julian, “Bring some water here.”


    Julian promptlyplied, returning shortly with several pails of


    ssh the freezing water onto the four culprits


    They useddles to


    None of the culprits could withstand thebination of the cold water and chilly wind.


    “Alright, I’ll tell you,” one of the bald men shouted anxiously.


    Evan cast a nce at Julian, who’immediately ceased the water torture. Evan then stated icily.”


    You have five minutes.”


    The bald man trembled as he exined, “It was Robin! He paid us and ordered us to do it. He said


    our task was to burn the archive room. That’s all we know.”


    Robin?‘ Caroline had no recollection of that name. “Why would he want to destroy the archive


    room for no apparent reason?‘


    Evan narrowed his eyes. “Did he reveal anything else to you?”


    The bald man responded, “Not at all. He never disclosed the whole story to us. He simply paid us


    and instructed us to carry out the task. He imed he would handle the aftermath. He didn’t even


    provide a reason when he asked us to run over the woman next to you back at the hospital.
