    “I thought it was just a prank. I had nothing to lose anyway, so I came here to see for myself,” said


    Kirk


    “I didn’t expect to meet you two here. How did you know about this ce?”


    “Says the perpetrator, Gwenined.


    “Why didn’t you tell Carol that you came here for Howard? Why did you lie by telling her that you were


    on a business trip?


    “You made us think that you’re up to no good again.” Gwen wasn’t pleased.


    Hearing this, Kirk turned to Caroline to apologize to her. “Sorry, darling. It’s not that I didn’t want to tell


    you about it. I was just afraid that you would…”


    It dawned on Gwen that she had misunderstood Kirk all this time. Howard was the person who had


    caused Jude’s death, while Caroline had witnessed the entire thing.


    She hadn’t even recovered from the trauma that Howard had caused her. So seeing Howard was akin


    to sending her on a trip down memoryne to the day of Jude’s death.


    Gwen regretted her decision terribly. She shouldn’t have brought Caroline here. They shouldn’t


    have met Kirk here either.


    Noticing the look of guilt on Gwen’s face, Caroline tried tofort her. “I’m fine. Don’t worry, you


    two.”


    The harm Howard had done to her was horrible, but Jude’s death was thest straw that deepened


    the hatred she had toward him.


    She approached him, her eyes boring into his. She wanted to skin him alive so badly.


    “I never expected you to live to this day, Howard,” Caroline spat. Her hands balled into fists, but


    they did nothing to stop her from trembling with rage.

    “If it hadn’t been for thew, you would be dead hundreds of times over.”


    She hated him to the bone. Sometimes, she hated him as a person, while sometimes she wished


    that she was the one who had taken the bullet.


    Howard whimpered iprehensibly with his eyes locked on Kirk.

    “Your husband is Eddy’s second uncle!” He tried to tell her this, but to no avail. The tape on his


    mouth prevented him from making a single coherent sound. He couldn’t tell her the truth.


    Gwen didn’t want to stay in the basement any longer. Although Caroline imed that she was


    alright, as her bestie after all these years, Gwen was sure that the former had only said that to


    “Carol, let’s get out of here. Kirk will handle the rest.”


    Caroline turned to look at Kirk, who said, “Yes, darling. You two should leave for now.”


    Still, she couldn’t help but worry for him. “What do you n to do with him?”


    “I’ll hand him over to the people in charge.” Kirk smiled to reassure her.


    “You should leave. There’s no venttion in here. It’s not good for your health.”


    Eventually, Caroline nodded. “You should head upstairs as quickly as possible too.”


    “Okay,” Kirk said.


    Only then did Caroline leave the basement with Gwen.


    The chauffeur, who was waiting outside, sighed in relief when he saw the two women leaving the


    vi in a calm manner. Apparently, things were fine.


    After getting into the car, Gwen fell silent for a moment before ncing at Caroline. “Carol, stop


    looking out the window. Are you afraid that Kirk will beat Howard up?” Gwenughed.


    Caroline kept ncing out the window from time to time. She nodded after hearing what Gwen


    had said. Indeed, she was worried about this. After all …


    Noticing this, Gwen instantly came up with an idea to divert Caroline’s attention. “Who do you


    think sent Kirk the message? Was it Eddy’s second uncle?”


    “I don’t think so,” Caroline answered absentmindedly. “If it really had been Eddy’s second uncle, he


    wouldn’t have had any reason to keep it a secret. He could just be straightforward with Kirk.”


    Gwen pursed her lips in thought. “Who knows? Maybe he has eyes for you.”


    Now that got Caroline’s attention. She met Gwen’s eyes and said, “Gwen, that’s nonsense. We’ve
