Chapter 484: The Truth


    Caroline‘s POV


    "The kidnappers didn‘t see me.They were probably worried that Eason wouldn‘t pay them, so they


    kidnapped him instead and called me for the ransom.I‘ve already sent someone to give them the


    ransom, and I‘ve already called the police, " Dad exined.


    "What happened after that? Did Eason get rescued?" I asked.


    My father let out a sigh, seemingly feeling guilty, "Later on, the police and the kidnappers engaged in a


    shootout.They identally hit a gasoline tank on the ship. By the time I found Eason, he was dying,


    blown up and burnt beyond recognition.I sent him to the hospital at once, but he still didn‘t make it."


    The scene of an explosion as a fierce battlemenced shed through my mind.It must‘ve been


    bloody and tragic.


    Just thinking about it made all the hair on my body stand on end.


    "I may be angry that he set me up, but I‘ve never thought of killing him.I‘ve been feeling regret over it all


    these years.If I hadn‘t called the police at the time, perhaps the ident could‘ve been avoided," said


    my father.


    "Dad, it‘s not your fault.Eason knew the identity of those kidnappers.Even if you didn‘t call the police,


    they would probably kill him in order to silence him," I said, trying tofort him.


    if Ken hadn‘t tipped my father off, he would‘ve died by now.


    Merely thinking of the possibility made my heart ache.


    "Caroline, do not let Simon know about this.Eason has always been a role model to him.Just let him


    believe that his father is a good man," Dad remarked.


    Though I felt conflicted, I still nodded in agreement.


    "Simon is innocent.My lips are sealed, Dad."


    Dad brushed my hair, staring at me with concerned eyes.


    "Take a warm shower and get some rest, my darling."


    Only then did I realize that my clothes were sopping wet again.


    I pulled the jacket over my shoulders and asked anxiously, "Dad, do you think Hugo will agree to save


    Christine?"


    "I‘ve already made my promise to you, and I don‘t intend to break it, Caroline.Just stay at home and


    wait for my news, okay?"


    Dad responded.


    "Okay." I nodded obediently.


    "Caroline, remember, you promised me that you‘ll never see Charles again.Make sure that you keep


    your promise," Dad said before leaving.


    I tried my best to push down the pain in my heart and nodded, albeit reluctantly.


    "I will."


    ‘As long as Hugo cures Grandma, every sacrifice I made will be worth it" Iforted myself in silence.


    Samantha‘s POV:


    While I was rummaging through Raina‘s belongings, I eventually found a cellphone.I turned it on and a


    message popped up.


    "Raina, I‘m back.When can we meet? If you don‘t transfer the money to my ount, I‘ll expose your


    secret to the public!"


    The message was sent from an unknown number.


    ‘Who could this person be? What other secrets could Raina be hiding?‘ I scheduled an appointment


    with the mystery person three days from today, ‘As the saying goes, curiosity kills the cat.But what if it‘s


    a good surprise?‘ I wondered.


    Soon, the appointed day arrived.


    "Doris, meet up with a person for me, and remember, keep the line open," I said to my assistant the


    moment we arrived at the appointed location.


    "Yes, ma‘am. I‘ll take care of it,"


    Doris answered before putting her phone into her pocket I went to a nearby cafe, carefully listening to


    their conversation


    "Who are you? Where‘s Raina?" the man asked in surprise.


    "Raina is currently busy with something, so she can‘te here.She has asked me to meet with you,"


    Doris exined


    "I‘ve never heard Raina mention you before.How can I be sure that you‘re telling the truth?"


    The man sounded very skeptical


    "It doesn‘t matter if you believe me or not.I‘m just here to give you the money," said Doris.


    The man fell silent for a moment, but he eventually let down his guard.It turned out that this man‘s


    name was Boris.


    He was a doctor.


    A year ago, Raina had bribed him.He drugged Caroline‘s injection, causing her to have a miscarriage.


    Thereafter, Raina hid Boris in a vi in Puerto Rico.


    And every month, she paid him.


    Over the past two months, Boris hadn‘t been receiving any money.


    Sensing that something was wrong, he left Puerto Rico and went back to LA.He had been trying to call


    Raina, but she wasn‘t answering him.


    Because of this discover, I was so delighted that I couldn‘t hide my smile.


    ‘‘God is on my side.He even sent this brilliant chess piece to me! Caroline would never even think that


    Raina is the reason she had a miscarriage" I thought.


    "Doris, give the money to Boris and arrange a residence for him.Make sure to tell him not to tell anyone


    about this."


    After returning to the clinic, Doris asked tentatively, "Samantha, what are you nning to do?"


    "What else would I be nning? I’m going to take advantage of the situation.It‘s best if I could just get


    rid of her for good this time," I sneered.


    Boris was a man who was willing to do just about anything for the right price.


    One day, I would rece Caroline in Charles‘ heart.


    By then, his embrace would belong to me, and me alone.I truly believed that the day woulde soon.


    Just then, my phone rang.


    It was from Charles.


    Feeling nervous and surprised, I answered, "Charles? I thought you‘d never want to talk to me


    again.I‘m sorry about the coat.I didn‘t expect that Caroline would misunderstand you because of it.I‘m


    truly sorry."


    I tried my best to sound apologetic.I had put the sexy ckce underwear into the pocket of the coat


    on purpose.I wanted to use it to remind Charles that I had plump buttocks, and that I was just as sexy


    as Caroline.

    In all honesty, I didn‘t expect Caroline to see it.It was quite a pleasant surprise.


    However, I couldn‘t let Charles be aware of my ambition now.


    My n was to make him fall in love with me out of his own volition.


    On the day that he called to question me about the matter, I exined to him in tears that it was an


    ident.


    I made up a story, saying that I met some friends in the bar and lost a bet with them in a drinking game


    that night after he got drunk, so I epted the punishment and took off my underpants.


    Truthfully, I just hid my underwear into the pocket of my coat out of a whim.


    I didn‘t expect it to cause quite a stir! Charles was still fuming, but he didn‘t me me for what


    happened anymore.


    After all, the sound of my voice was quite convincing that I was innocent, "If you want to make it up to


    me, help me ask Caroline out,"


    Charles bargained anxiously.


    ‘Does this mean that Caroline doesn‘t want to see Charles now? Ha! I must‘ve driven quite a wedge


    between them.They might even end up having a serious fight.Things are going much smoother than I


    thought"


    "I‘ll give it a try, but I can‘t guarantee that she‘ll agree," I answered.


    "I know you can do it," Charles said firmly.


    "Got it. I‘ll talk to her," I said
