Caroline's chest tightened with anxiety, and she hastily ran to the figure. However, the figure had disappeared from the tombstone when she arrived. She looked around anxiously, thinking, 'I saw it clearly. How could he disappear as soon as I ran over? I'm certain that I haven't seen it wrongly. It was Neil! Yet, where did he go?'Caroline was about to shout when she turned and saw Elvira walking over. The word 'Neil' was stuck in her throat. She kept her lips tightly pursed and stared at Elvira. Elvira scrutinized her. "Why are you looking at me like that?"Caroline gradually lost her temper. "Why did you follow me?"Elvira frowned. "I've been following you like this all this time. What's the problem?""Please leave! Stay away from me!" Caroline said in agitation. Caroline thought, 'Neil wouldn't have left if Elvira wasn't here! He must be worried that Elvira will tell Scott about him being alive! He must be worried about being found! This must be it!'Elvira said, "H
Elvira asked, "Is it a bottle with a dropper, right?"Azure confirmed, "Yes, it's a small bottle with a dropper. The person instructed me to use two milliliters each time."Elvira cautioned, "Exactly, Mrs. Wilson. Stick to two milliliters. Going over the recommended amount could lead to the drug taking effect too quickly, raising suspicion."Azure acknowledged, "Got it. I'll hand the drug to you, and you can take over the task with Caroline.""Of course, Mrs. Wilson," Elvira replied.She ended the call shortly after.The bodyguard beside Azure suggested, "Miss, why not tell her how much you spent purchasing another bottle?"Azure glanced at the bodyguard. "A few tens of thousands is not a fortune. It's good to have this accessible when needed."The bodyguard nodded. "I'll book the flight for you to go home now, then.""Alright."-Meanwhile, Tyler and Axel promptly informed Caroline about the situation after eavesdropping on Elvira and Azure's conversation.Caroline was ter
Caroline put down her phone and began to plan after she replied: [Goodnight.]Caroline thought, 'It won't work if I just go to Marie. Elvira is so vigilant, so she will surely come and eavesdrop. If I have to go to Marie, I have to do it without Elvira's knowledge.'Caroline came up with a solution at last. She grabbed her phone and sent Yuliana a text message. Caroline: [Yuliana, can you bring me some sleeping pills?]Yuliana replied swiftly. Yuliana: [Are you trying to kill yourself again?]Caroline: [No, I need it to do something.]Yuliana: [It's fine as long as you don't kill yourself. I'll leave it for you at the same corner as last time tonight.]Caroline thought about it before she responded.Caroline: [Yuliana, I feel like I saw Neil when I visited the cemetery a few days ago.]Yuliana took a long time to reply, as if she were shocked. Yuliana: [A few days ago? Were you seeing things wrong? Did you see his face?]Caroline: [I saw a figure. I don't know who else
Marie's eyes twitched twice, and she asked with feigned innocence, "What do you want to talk to me about, Ms. Shenton? I'm just a caregiver, doing what I'm supposed to. I don't know about anything else."Caroline grabbed a chair and calmly sat down. "You should know that there are certain things considered illegal activities. From what I know, your daughter-in-law never liked you from the beginning. Do you think you'll still have a chance to see your grandson if you end up in prison?"Marie looked at Caroline in shock. "How do you even know about this?!""Don't worry about how I know. I just want you to tell me what Elvira has ordered you to do," Caroline remarked.Marie hesitated, keeping her lips pursed and reluctant to speak."If it's difficult for you to speak about it, let's make a deal," Caroline said patiently.Marie looked at Caroline in puzzlement.Caroline pulled out a check from her pocket and placed it on the table. "There's 70,000 dollars on it. Consider it a reward
Caroline thought, 'However, I can't let my guard down yet. Who knows if Marie is going to turn against me and tell Scott about this? After all, he hired her. It's all a bet… I'm betting on humanity's greed.'-The following morning, Elvira groggily rose from her slumber. She supported her throbbing head and descended the stairs. Upon seeing Caroline was eating breakfast in the dining room, a sense of unease washed over her.Elvira pondered, 'I've always been in good health, so it's impossible for me to sleep an entire day without a hint of sound. Caroline must have done something to me!'Fuelled by anger, Elvira approached Caroline.Just as she was about to speak, Marie emerged from the kitchen."Elvira? Why are you up? I was about to bring food upstairs for you," Marie asked with concern.Elvira, puzzled, observed Marie's actions.Marie set the tray down and gently touched Elvira's forehead. Subsequently, she withdrew her hand and remarked with a smile, "Your fever has subside
After shutting the door, Caroline sat with Marie on the sofa and asked, "What would you like to ask?"Marie sighed. "Ms. Shenton, I don't understand why my daughter-in-law dislikes me so much."Caroline was rendered speechless. Marie said, "I served a few rather reputable families in Angelbay, and I make a few thousand dollars monthly. I also speak a little Ylesirese."Caroline said, "Is your daughter-in-law academically gifted? Where is she working now?""She's the deputy head of operations department in MK," Marie said. Caroline smiled. "Ah, MK. I understand her thoughts now."Marie asked, "What do you mean?"Caroline said, "A person in her position doesn't care how much money you make but how many connections you can bring her."Marie asked anxiously, "What should I do then, Ms. Shenton? Is it pointless for me to make more money?"Caroline said, "If you follow my advice, I can help you to improve your relationship with your daughter-in-law."Marie nodded strenuously. "I
Elvira frowned in displeasure. "Since Mr. Hendrix is paying you so handsomely, you will need to bear the corresponding risks as well." Elvira turned and left upon saying that. Marie pursed her lips as she gazed after Elvira's departing figure. 'They are all exploiting me, just as expected! If it weren't for Ms. Shenton's alertness to come to me, I might be wronged and wouldn't be able to speak up for myself!'An idea occurred to Marie as she looked at the medicine bottle in her hand. Half an hour later, she served milk in a tray to Caroline. Marie spoke louder when the door opened. "This is milk for you, Ms. Shenton."Marie immediately stuffed the item in her pocket with a note to Caroline. Caroline took it swiftly and placed it in her pocket.Then, she told Marie, "Understood. I'll have the milk in my room."Marie winked. "You have to finish it now so I can bring it downstairs to wash, Ms. Shenton."Caroline understood the situation, so she immediately grabbed the glass
Caroline frowned. "Are you implying that I should attempt to create conflicts between them?""Yes. I suspect that Scott not eliminating you may indicate some emotional attachment toward you," Zeke said solemnly, "That would be impossible!" Caroline denied it right away. Zeke heaved a sigh as he looked at Caroline. "Can you tell me why he is keeping you around then?"Caroline said, "He's keeping me alive because he's worried that my death will harm his reputation?"Zeke shook his head. "Have you ever considered that he could orchestrate your demise to appear accidental? It wouldn't affect him, should he decide to eliminate you."Caroline's thoughts gradually drifted. She was stunned for a long while before she muttered, "So, you're implying he is keeping me alive because he has feelings for me?""I can't think of another reason other than this. After all, you have no use for him now," Zeke shared.Caroline tightened her fists, overwhelmed by repulsion at the idea of Scott ha
