Chapter 51 Are You Planning to Take Action

Caroline’s hands trembled as she checked her Facebook after ending the call. To her dismay, she

came across a series of alarming trending topics that caught her attention:

“Heartless chief secretary of a famous company cruelly sends her father to jail!”

Her face turned pale upon reading the headline. Overwhelmed with anxiety, she clicked into the

comment section, her finger shaking uncontrollably.

“Can you believe such a person exists? And she’s the secretary of that famous company?”

“I know someone who works there. Rumor has it she’s a mistress.”

“She’s not fit to be working at a prestigious listed company. This sets a terrible example for

newcomers!”

“Trash! Bitch! Disgusting!”

Disturbing words flooded her vision, engulfing her in a sense of icy dread. She was well aware of

the destructive power that words held, capable of tarnishing a person’s reputation.

Paige noticed her distress and quickly inquired, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Panicking, Caroline thrust her phone in front of Paige, revealing the distressing content on the

screen.

Seeing what was on the screen, Paige was enraged. “Who the hell is responsible for spreading this.

nonsense?!”

Caroline pinched her palm, trying to regain composure. As she had orchestrated her father’s

arrest in front of numerous hospital patients, it seemed plausible that someone might have

witnessed it. However, why had this news only surfaced now?

She checked her phone again, searching for any videos but found none. She instantly ruled out the

patients and their families as potential culprits.

Looking up at Paige, she said, determination flickering in her eyes, “Paige, get someone to find out who

posted this and when it was posted.”

Paige nodded, concern etched on her face. “Of course, but for now, you must return home. If someone

wants to harm you, they might be watching you right now. If you don’t leave soon, they could escalate

things.”

Just as Paige finished speaking, Reuben’s call came in.

Caroline and Paige exited the building and spotted the familiar car waiting for them.

+15 BONUS As they got into the car, Reuben addressed Caroline, “Ms. Shenton, Mr. Jacob has

arranged for the trending topic to be suppressed. However, the culprit paid a considerable sum to

secure their prominent placement in the trending list. Many people have already read the news. I

suggest you stay at Villa Rossa for the next few days. The storm will likely subside by then.”

“Subside?!” Paige exclaimed, her anger boiling. “Are you asking Carol to endure the slander and false

accusations passively?”

Reuben quickly interjected, “No, that’s not what I meant.”

“Then what do you mean?! Since your boss is so capable, can’t he find the mastermind behind this?

“Paige angrily punched the car seat.

In contrast, Caroline had regained her composure and calmly grasped Paige’s clothes. “Don’t panic.

The more frantic we become, the farther we stray from finding a solution.”

Paige fell silent instantly.

Gazing out the car window, Caroline realized that only her father would go to such lengths, Given his

character, he would undoubtedly scold her for her actions today.

In truth, he had disappeared before she could provide the money. Someone must have approached

him and influenced his actions.

Pondering over the situation, she turned to Reuben and requested, “Reuben, could you get me the

security footage of the company entrance.”

Nodding, Reuben made a call, and soon enough, he acquired the requested footage.

Caroline carefully reviewed the footage and, as she suspected, discovered Daniella conversing

with her father.

Paige seethed with anger. “I knew that pretentious b*tch was behind all of this!”

Caroline glanced at her. “Without audio evidence, we lack concrete proof.”

Paige gritted her teeth in frustration, acknowledging the validity of Caroline’s statement.

Based on their behavior, it seemed likely that Daniella had orchestrated something. Perhaps she had

paid off her father, explaining his sudden change of heart regarding the money.

Caroline looked at Paige as she pondered the situation and requested, “Paige, lend me your phone.”

Paige calmly brought out her phone. “Are you planning to take action?”

Caroline rolled her eyes, then dialed a number on Paige’s phone. After a couple of rings, the call

connected.

“Hello? Who is it!” Bradley’s voice sounded cheerful.

+15 BONUS

“It’s me, Caroline.”

His tone immediately shifted to silence, only to speak again moments later. “Just say what you’ve

got to say!”

Caroline scoffed, noting the change in his attitude from when he had requested money earlier. “I

purchased something and want to deliver it to you. Where are you staying?”

“Are you okay?” He sounded genuinely surprised before adding, “Why are you suddenly coming to

visit?”

“I’m giving you money. Don’t you want it?” Caroline asked calmly.

Money meant everything to him, evident from the sudden change in his mood. “Sure, I’ll send you

my address.”

After ending the call, Caroline instructed Reuben, “Take us to Sunny Street, Reuben.”

“I’m concerned for your safety if you go alone, Ms. Shenton.”

Caroline pursed her lips. “That’s my business.”

Reuben ceased his objections, and upon arrival, he sent Evan the location along with a brief

description.

Caroline reminded Paige before stepping out of the car that if she didn’t receive a call within half

an hour, Paige should bring Reuben to Room 302 at the hostel

Caroline took a deep breath and knocked on Bradley’s door, mentally preparing herself for what

lay ahead.
