Caroline didn’t know about the argument between the two after she left. After she entered Rika Apartment, she avoided the surveillance cameras and went through the escape stairs. Then, she opened the back door, passed through an alley, and entered an old apartment.

There were surveillance cameras in the elevator, so she chose to avoid people and go up the escape stairs.

She climbed up to the ninth floor while panting. For the tenth time today, Caroline lamented that her body was too weak. She had to train harder. She took a deep breath and walked to Room 902. She skillfully pressed a string of numbers on the password lock, and the door opened.

This was a property that she had bought in private a few years ago when she was still Luo Ling Pritz. It was a place for her to relax in the city. The only people who knew about it were her mother and one of her subordinates, who were both dead now.

As the registration number wasn’t under her name, the military couldn’t find her. She could come here without worry. However, she was using Caroline’s identity now. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she had to be careful.

When she came out of the hospital, Caroline had already thought of a very realistic problem. As the less-loved daughter of the Lambert family, it was obvious that she didn’t have much money on her.

What she had to do now required a lot of money, but Caroline did not want to sell the original owner’s things, nor did she want to ask the hateful Balor for money. Thus, she had to find another way to earn money. However, the fastest way to earn money was in criminal law. Unless she had no other choice, Caroline did not want to take the risk.

Caroline thought about it and finally thought of this place.

Walking through the study from the living room, she moved the bookcase away from the wall and revealed the safe inside. She entered the password to open it. Caroline looked at the thick documents and then her eyes fell on a white brocade bag the size of a palm.

She took out the silk bag and weighed it in her hand. She untied the rope and found a dark blue box inside. She opened it and there was a transparent sapphire diamond ring inside.

This was a ring that Luo Ling had bought at an underground auction previously. She had originally wanted to give it to someone. Later, by chance, she didn’t send the gift out, so she put it in the safe.

If anything that belonged to the Pritz family flowed out, it was possible that she would be noticed and targeted by people with ulterior motives. It was only in the underground auction where the identities of the buyer and seller were kept secret that the circulating items would not be traced to her.

The ring was sold for more than 5 million yuan at the auction, and Caroline decided to exchange it for some money. The patient’s garb she was wearing was an eyesore, so she casually took out an inconspicuous set of clothes from the closet and changed into them. Then, she put the white brocade bag into the pocket of her coat and took out an unopened Blueberry phone and a new SIM card from the drawer. fr𝗲𝚎w𝒆𝚋𝘯𝚘ѵel. c𝗼𝐦

After clearing up the traces of her entering, Caroline hurried down the stairs and threw the hospital gown into the trash can.

She held the hat on her head and turned out of the alley. She didn’t expect to see a motorcycle out of control coming at her from the right corner.

Caroline’s brain sent out signals like crazy. She shifted her center of gravity to the left and dodged! However, her body had not received professional training. Even if she received the message, she could not react in time. She could only watch as the motorcycle hit her!

At the critical moment, a pair of hands suddenly reached out from behind her, picked her up by the waist, and pulled her back. The motorcycle went out of control, swept past her hair, and hit the wall with a bang.

Caroline’s dilated pupils slowly returned to normal. Then, she realized that she was still being hugged by the waist. Just as she was about to say something, she smelled a familiar scent of medicine. She called out tentatively, “Edwin?”

“It’s me.” Edwin gently put her down and rubbed the back of his hand. “What a coincidence, we meet again.”

Caroline heaved a sigh of relief. She looked up and realized that this was the side door of the Diantong Building. So, he was really here for business?

Caroline suppressed her doubts and replied, “It seems that I met a benefactor when I went out today. I’m very grateful for your help again and saved my life.”

“Then it seems like today is your day of suffering.” Edwin spread his hands. “In that case, if I don’t send you home safely today, and something happens to you, it’ll be my fault.”

This man’s words always made her feel he was dangerous, but Caroline thought, ‘I’ve already taken the first car, why would I be afraid to take the second one?’ Therefore, she readily agreed.
