Chapter 169
After taking a few turns, the car finally slowed.
Jack looked in the rearview mirror to check for the car he’d been trying to shake off.
He said expressionlessly, “It seems like there’s a bit of a problem with the car. I’ll take it for a
check tonight. It shouldn’t be anything big. It won’t affect your going in and out, Ms. Evans.”
Caroline frowned. She didn’t quite believe Jack when he said it wasn’t a big problem.
But during the next half of the car ride, the car indeed did not experience any hiccups. Thus,
Caroline didn’t mention it. She told Jack to drive home carefully and walked into the villa.
At the Collins‘ residence, Howard Collins yelled, “Useless! You’re all just useless trash!”
He was so mad that he kicked the bodyguard who’d returned to report.
“What’s the point of paying you? You couldn’t find out who that person was, even though you
spent so much time investigating them! I made you wait at the airport, but you still let them go
right under your nose! I asked you to follow a woman, but she still threw you off! Tell me what
use are you?”
After shouting, Howard fell into a seat on the couch. He huffed in huge breaths.
His fury would really drive him mad.

He’d thought he would find Caroline and her husband in no time.
But after a round of investigations, he’d found out that they’d gone abroad. Once they got back,
they had mysteriously disappeared from the airport.
The worst part was that Howard knew Caroline was working at Thorne Corporation. Yet, he
couldn’t get in there.
Not being able to get in was fine, though. After all, Thorne Corporation belonged to Eddy
Morrison’s second uncle. Howard had to show that man some respect.
But he really wondered whether his bodyguards were of any use at all, considering they had lost
Caroline when they were supposed to follow her.
The bodyguard felt wronged. “Mr. Collins, it’s really not that we’re incompetent. It’s just th–that…
The target’s not so simple.”
“What bullshit! Do you think I’m stupid? I’m giving you one week. You better find Caroline’s new
address and dig her husband out. Otherwise, all of you can get lost!”
Sounding pained, the bodyguard said, “Yes, sir.”

When Caroline got home, she saw Kirk sitting in the living room, looking at his tablet. Thinking of
what happened this morning, her cheeks burned.
Kirk sensed movement and looked up. “You’re home?”
Caroline walked past him without answering. She went up to the second floor.
Kirk raised an eyebrow.
It seemed that Caroline’s displeasure had yet to dissipate.
He looked outside. The car was still there. Jack stood by the car door and nodded toward him.
Kirk quickly went to Jack with large strides.
“What is it?”
“Sir, there were people following the madam when we were returning.”
“Did she notice it?”
“No.”
“Alright. You’ve done well. Go off then.”
“Yes, sir.”
Jack got into the car, started the engine, and left.

upstairs to Caroline.
He knocked on the door. “It’s time for dinner.”
Caroline was currently changing. When she heard him, she said coolly, “I’m not eating.”
“It’s not good for you if you don’t eat,” Kirk said in concern.
“I’m not hungry.”
Kirk leaned against the door. Even from there, Kirk could sense the distance Caroline felt toward
him.
Kirk got impatient. “Is it because of me?”
Caroline tugged on her clothes, covering her fair skin. She went to stand by the door. After some
hesitation, she finally said, “I have something to do. You should eat first.”
Just as caroline thought Kuk would insist, he said, “Alright, it put the food in the inage when
you’re hungry, just heat them up”
After a second, heavy footsteps faded away at the end of the corridor
Caroline leaned against the door. She closed her eyes tiredly
