Chapter 31: Leakage

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

This apartment was rented by Caroline in advance.

“Young Miss, isn’t this place a little too simple?” Danika looked at the old furniture and decorations in the apartment and felt a little uncomfortable. No matter what, Caroline was the daughter of the Lambert family. How could she live in such a shabby place?

“This is just a temporary transition. We’ll change locations later.” Caroline put down her luggage and laid on the sofa that had just been wiped clean to rest. After riding a horse for half a day, she felt very good on the horse. However, after getting off the horse, she could clearly feel that her body was about to fall apart.

She looked at Danika, who was busy. “Didn’t you say you’d contact a housekeeping company to clean it? Why are you still doing it? ”

“It’s not particularly dirty here. I’m free anyway, so it’s faster to do it myself.” Danika had received Caroline’s call last night, asking if she was willing to leave the Lambert’s house.

Danika knew that Caroline was thinking for her. Ever since she had stood out to make her stand clear that day, she had been ostracized by everyone in the villa. So, after she heard Caroline’s invitation, she immediately agreed and came to take over the apartment early in the morning.

However, after rushing over and seeing how dilapidated the apartment was, Danika knew that Caroline probably didn’t have much money left. So, she canceled the contract with the housekeeping company and did it herself, just to save Caroline some money.

Danika tried to comfort her. “This place is a little remote, but I’ve asked the neighbors around, and they said there’s a farm nearby where you can buy fresh vegetables and meat.”

If it wasn’t remote, Caroline wouldn’t have considered this place. Before the dust settled, she didn’t want to face so many people directly. That was why she specially chose an old and remote community with no surveillance cameras.

She knew what Danika was thinking, so she went along with her. “Then I’m in for a treat. It was the wisest choice for me to bring Danika out.”

As expected, Danika’s eyes lit up when she heard this. “Then you can rest here first. Our neighbor just sent over some crispy purple cabbage and small tomatoes today. I’ll make you your favorite salad, with cream soup and stewed beef.”

Caroline felt hungry the moment she heard her name the dishes. “Do you need my help?”

“I’ve already prepared it in advance. I can just put it in the pot.” Danika quickly put on her apron. “Sit here. Just do me a favor.” It was obvious that she didn’t trust Caroline’s cooking.

Caroline, who had no talent in cooking, could only wait to be fed.

At a small dining table, two people sat facing each other, enjoying a simple but delicious dinner.

In the Lambert family villa, the servants had set up a sumptuous dinner, but the three masters sitting at the table weren’t in the mood to enjoy any good food.

Balor threw his fork and knife back on the plate in frustration. He asked the butler beside him, “Is there still no news of her?”

The butler: “We’ve already checked all the possible places that Miss might have gone to. We’ve also checked the guest lists of all the major hotels. There’s no trace of her.”

The meat on Kelly’s plate was almost torn apart. Usually, she would never do such a rude thing, as she was very concerned about her image. It was obvious how unsettled she was. In the afternoon, she received a rare call from Austin’s mother. The other party said that if she could get 40% of Caroline’s shares, the Campbell family would welcome her to join.

Kelly was not stupid. Of course, she knew what the Campbell family was up to. She was not a silly woman like Caroline who would let them do whatever they wanted. However, their interests were aligned, so Kelly agreed to Mrs. Campbell’s request without hesitation.

Her forthright attitude undoubtedly pleased Mrs. Campbell, and her tone of voice became much more intimate. Hence, no matter if it was for her own benefit or for her to successfully join the Campbell family, Kelly was determined to get Caroline’s shares.

However, no one expected that Caroline, who they had always ignored and looked down on, would suddenly become so smart and cunning. This caused them to be in such a passive position.

Suddenly, a maid standing by the dining table on standby said, “I’m sorry, Sir. Perhaps I can provide you with some clues.”
