“Ms. Evans, we have arrested the man who attacked you the other day.”
“Oh, so soon?” Caroline was quite surprised. She thought it would take the police three days to solve
the case.
“Yes. The policeman on the phone chuckled.
He’d had no choice. His superiors said that this case was important and that the suspect must be
caught as soon as possible. Yet he didn’t know what was so important about it.
“All right. Thank you.” Caroline hung up and sent a message to Briny.
Then, she looked up at La. She said, “This is a workce. Unauthorized personnel should leave
immediately.”
Vivian look La’s hand and argued, “Caroline, how can you say such heartless words to your cousin?
She came to visit because she was worried about you. It’s rude of you to kick her out like this.”
The smile on Caroline’s face faded. She said dismissively. “This doesn’t concern you. You’ve
overstepped again and again. It’ll be bad if I don’t give you a warning.”
“Warning?” Vivian scoffed. “What kind of warning?”
“Cheryl, If I recall correctly, thepany has a rule saying that we’re not allowed to bring unauthorized
personnel into the premises. How much is the penalty for doing so?”
Cheryl nced at Vivian and swallowed. “One hundred dors.”
“Okay. Inform the ountant to deduct one hundred dors from Vivian’s sry this month.”
Vivian was livid. One hundred dors was a drop in the bucket of her sry. What really embarrassed
her was that Caroline had announced it in front of the office.
This was tantamount to telling everyone that Caroline was the boss, not her!
“Caroline!” Vivian yelled. She charged forward, wanting to p Caroline, but La held her back.
La gave her a look of warning.

Vivian snapped out of her anger and looked at Caroline calmly. “Go ahead and deduct my sry. You
won’t be in Thorne Corp for much longer, anyway.”
“What’s going on here?” As soon as Jules walked in, he saw them standing in the hallway.
Vivian said, “Are you here to see this ungrateful bitch too, Mr. Hawkins?”
Jules immediately frowned at her words. “Vivian, you’d better watch what you say. What happened with
Mr. Corvinst time proved that you’re not as good as Caroline. How can you still be so rude?”
Even though Jules normally lectured Vivian, he usually did it in private. This was the first time he had
reprimanded her in front of so many people.
Caroline had just told Vivian off, and now Jules was lecturing her too. Vivian Immediately felt hurt. “Am I
wrong, Mr. Hawkins? Isn’t Caroline ungrateful for not supporting her parents?”
“That’s old news. Don’t you people check the news?” Jules spoke sullenly.
*Just now, Caroline asked Star King PR to announce why she had cut off ties with her parents. If you
ask me, her parents deserve what’sing to them! Hmph!”
It was rare for aposed person like Jules to be so angry.
Everyone was stunned, arid all of them took out their phones. Star King Public Rtions‘ post about
Caroline was pinned on their
Facebook ount.
This behavior was unprecedented. In the past, even if they cleared a celebrity’s name, they would
simply post their evidence on their ount. They wouldn’t pin it anywhere ago.
It turned out that the two people who had abducted her had been hired by Sarah.
The post didn’t reveal what exactly happened to Caroline at the hotel. But the surveince tapes
showed that she was forced into a vehicle and taken to Saint Pierre Grand Hotel.
It was clear that they had kidnapped her.
Sarah’s bank transaction history proved that she was the person behind it.
No one had expected things to turn around like this. After all, a parent shouldn’t hurt their own child.
Thements online immediately showed sympathy toward Caroline.
“She kidnapped her own daughter? I–I must be seeing things!”
“I’ve met some irresponsible parents in my long life, but this is the first time I’ve met someone so
terrifying!”
