    Chapter 80 What Are You Doing Here


    [Ms. Love, I did what you asked me to. As for the money…]


    [Thank you. I’ll pay you 1,400 dors first. When youe to work on Monday, I’ll teach you how


    to do it.]


    The young secretary received the money and nced at the maternal and child store with a gloomy


    expression. She didn’t fully understand Danie’s intentions, but she had no choice in this matter. She


    had to wrong Caroline for the sake of her grandmother’s medical expenses.


    Caroline did noty idle for two days. She focused on refining her design and improving her concept.


    She also went house–hunting with Paige.


    They discussed the details extensively, as Caroline still needed a ce to settle down aftering


    back from her studies.


    Considering she would have three children, she needed to n the space ordingly. The house


    couldn’t be too small, but it also couldn’t be too costly.


    Sitting in the passenger seat, Caroline grew worried as she looked at the rows of residential buildings


    ahead.


    “Carol, I just had an idea!” Paige eximed, patting Caroline’s arm excitedly. She seemed radiant


    with delight.


    Caroline rubbed her arm helplessly and asked, “What is it?”


    Paige exined, “You mentioned the other day that Mr. Jordan gifted you a house after buying


    one for Danie, right?”


    Caroline immediately shook her head. ‘Don’t even consider it. I left the property ownership


    certificate at Vi Rosa. I didn’t take it with me because I don’t want to live under his control in


    the future. I don’t want to be constantly subjected to his whims and end up affecting my


    children’s lives.”


    Paige’s eyes widened angrily. “You’re so naive! Why don’t you learn to be as shameless as that


    pretentious woman?”


    Caroline sighed, feeling quite helpless.


    As Paige mentioned Danie, Caroline realized there had been no news about Nic recently.


    “Has Danie’s little lover reappeared?” she asked.


    “He seems to have gone missing. But I found some leads. I wanted to verify them before telling you,

    Caroline adjusted her posture. “Tell me. What did you find?” (1


    “I became suspicious when you mentioned Robin the other day. It was always the same man following


    Danie after the person I hired started stalking her. So, I had my friend in a relevant department look


    up two names for me: Robin and Nic. Guess what my friend found?”


    “Based on the photo I saw, Nic is Robin. His real name is Nichs Robinson, but he’s currently


    missing.”


    Caroline was stunned,


    Nichs Robinson…


    When there was no news about someone, it meant they were either intentionally covering their tracks


    or–didn’t exist at all.


    Caroline furrowed her brow. “Do you have a hacker among the people you hired?”


    “Yes, we do, but the hacker isn’t very skilled. I’m afraid we won’t be able to dig deeper,” Paige


    replied.


    “What about call logs and bank transfer records?”


    “You want to investigate that pretentious bitch?” Paige frowned. “Wait. I’ll make a call.”


    She parked the car by the side of the road and made a phone call.


    After gathering information, she looked at Caroline. “It’s possible if you can get hold of that bitch’s


    SIM card and use an RFID reader to extract the data from it.”


    Caroline’s eyes darkened slightly.


    ‘It’s going to be tricky. If I want to get close to Danie and spend a significant amount of time with her, I


    might have to go to Vi Rosa.”


    Taking a deep breath, Caroline said, “Can we go to your friend now and get the RFID reader?”


    Paige replied, “Sure!”


    Caroline arrived home at eight o’clock in the evening and sat on the sofa, examining the RFID


    reader, which was about the size of a USB drive. If she wanted to go to Vi Rosa, she would have


    to let Evan take her there to avoid arousing Danie’s suspicion.


    After contemting for a while, she picked up her phone and found Evan’s contact. Taking a deep


    breath, she nced at his profile picture.

    Tm sorry, she thought. I have no choice but to use you to gather the evidence. I can’t let the murderer


    lead a carefree and unscrupulous life.”


    With that in mind, sheposed a text and sent it to Evan


    This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    [Evan, I left something at your ce. Are you free tomorrow night?]


    Evan, who had just finished a long–distance video conference, noticed his vibrating phone out of


    the corner of his eye.


    He immediately picked it up when he saw the text from Caroline. His face grew gloomy as he read


    the message.


    [111 ask Reuben to pick you up.]


    After texting her back, he tossed the phone frustratedly onto the table.


    Evan’s heart sank as he realized that she was the first person to contact him solely to retrieve


    something. If not for this pretext, she might never have a reason to reach out to him again


    Caroline felt a sense of relief upon receiving Evan’s response. The excuse about leaving something


    behind was just a ruse. Her real intention was to stay at Vi Rosa


    On Monday night, Reuben arrived to pick up Caroline. She entered the vi and saw Danie


    lounging on the sofa, eating fruit.


    When Danie heard the noise at the door, she sat up. However, her expression turned hideous


    when she saw Caroline. She was about to throw a tantrum but paused upon hearing footsteps


    Caroline sneered and replied, I’m here to have some fun with you. Are you happy?”


    Danie widened her eyes, but her face immediately softened when she noticed Evan out of the


    corner of her eye.


    “Caroline, it’s cold outside, isn’t it? Hurry up ande in,” she said in a tender tone.
