104 Found It
Hearing this, Harriman would have rolled his eyes if not for his professional ethics. “Mr. Robert, the Old Madam is still waiting for you.”
Once Robert heard that Joline was waiting for him, he didn’t bother to make things difficult for Caroline and went to the backyard.
Harriman was a step behind. “Young Madam, he’s always so unruly. He’s not targeting you. You don’t have to take him to heart. He’s just an insignificant person.”
“Okay, I know. Don’t worry, I didn’t take him to heart.” That was indeed what Caroline thought, but Harriman’s words made sense.
!!
Judging from Joline’s words, since Robert was willing to help out during the engagement, he must have a good relationship with the Old Madam. In that case, he should be an important guest of the Anderson family, but from Harriman’s words, that didn’t seem to be the case.
“It seems like there’s something else going on here,” Caroline mumbled.
She still didn’t know that Edwin’s investigation of the assassins had already reached Robert’s place. By then, they might not even be able to be relatives anymore. Thus, Harriman naturally wasn’t that polite to him, and he was even more unwilling to see Caroline, the future lady of the Anderson family, being mistreated in front of Robert.
When Edwin heard that Caroline had woken up, he specially came out to see her. “I just received news that the plane from F Country was caught in a storm and had to land urgently on the way. So, the custom-made jewelry shouldn’t be able to arrive today, so I’ll send you back first.”
Caroline wasn’t interested in jewelry. She was only waiting here out of courtesy, so she was happy to hear that she didn’t have to wait anymore. “In that case, I won’t be able to have dinner with Joline. I’ll go say goodbye to her.”
“No need to go.” Edwin grabbed her hand and held it. “I’ve already sent someone to inform her. It just so happens that she has other guests now, so let’s not disturb her.”
Although he was not 100% sure that today’s assassination was related to the Smith family, looking at the current situation, he was afraid that his family was involved. Therefore, unless it was necessary, Edwin didn’t plan to let Caroline come into contact with them too much.
Since the owner, Edwin, was so insistent, Caroline could only follow his advice and let him lead her into the car.
After the front windshield was closed, the back seat was in a secret space. Edwin played with Caroline’s hand and said, “I’ve found the person you asked me to find that day.”
Caroline was elated. “Really?”
She had been searching the internet for a long time, but she hadn’t found any useful clues. It wasn’t good to search openly, so there hadn’t been any updates. She was worried that the other party had also met with an accident, but she didn’t expect Edwin to send back news so quickly.
Caroline was a little happy to be exposed to Luo Ling Priz’s past again, but she was also a little nervous. “Is she alright?”
Looking at Caroline’s anticipation, Edwin didn’t know what to say. “My men found her in a shelter. According to the people at the shelter, she fainted from hunger in the Great Rift Valley. She was lucky enough to be rescued by a ranger on patrol. As she didn’t have any identification on her, and her intelligence was different from ordinary people, she had no choice but to be sent to the shelter.”
The reason why Edwin was able to find her so quickly was because the asylum had uploaded her information to the database. After his men had compared her and confirmed that her characteristics matched, they were able to confirm it.
Caroline’s heart ached when she heard this.
The girl she was looking for was called Eva. She was 15 years old and was rescued from a secret biochemical base during a secret mission six years ago.
The enemy was a mad scientist who had captured a group of children to do biochemical experiments. Eva was the last survivor. Because her body had been injected with drugs, her brain nerves had been damaged, and her IQ was only around that of a five-year-old. But at the same time, her body had been modified by the drug and had become extremely powerful.
Such a special child shouldn’t be placed outside to survive. Thus, Caroline took advantage of her position and placed her with the rangers.
Caroline once promised Eva that if she disappeared one day, she didn’t have to worry. She would go and find her.
Eva had probably sneaked back to the Great Rift Valley, back to the place where they first met, because she hadn’t gone to find her.
