Chapter 187 You Bastard

“It's me.” Reaching out, Charles wanted to touch her face but withdrew his hand."Ah!" Viviansuddenly screamed.Charles was taken aback Pushing him away, Vivian got up and ran away."Vivian!"Charles swiftly chased after her.As Vivian did not run very fast, Charles soon caught up with her andquickly seized her in his arms.“Let me go! Don't touch me!” Vivian cried out.At the sound, peoplearound started looking over.Fortunately, Charles brought along some men with him. However, hedid not let them touch Vivian.As Vivian was putting up a fierce fight, he had no choice but to knockher out and carry her into the car.He then immediately gave a call to Kathleen.”I've found Vivian.Where should I send her?” he asked.Kathleen was surprised. “You found her already?"“Yes.” Charlesnodded Kathleen was struck dumb for a moment before saying, “Caleb doesn't want her to beexposed. Just send her back to the Lewis residence. I've prepared a herbal soup there that wouldhelp ease her nerve. Feed her some.”"Okay. Vivian put up a fight just now, so I knocked her out andcarried her into the car. We'll have to get someone to delete any relevant stuff from the internet toavoid troubles,” Charles replied with a hoarse voice.”Okay. I'll call Caleb.” With that, Kathleen hungup the phone.Putting away his phone, Charles removed his jacket and wrapped it around Vivian.Hekept her in his arms the whole journey.As he recalled, Vivian was not this skinny even though shehad a slim figure back then.He did not expect her to be so skinny now and started wondering whyshe became like thatJudging from her appearance, she seems to have gone... crazy. I wonder whathappened to her.Kathleen gave a call to Caleb.”Charles found Vivian,” Kathleen said coldly.Calebwas stunned and speechless as only two hours had passed since he called her asking forhelp.Charles had found Vivian within two hours, which made the task seem ridiculously simple.It wasas though Vivian's disappearance was just a game.”Caleb, can I ask you something?” Kathleensounded cold."Go ahead,” Caleb replied calmly.”Why did you ask me to help you replace Vivian? Didyou already expect that I would ask Charles for help?” she asked coldly.Caleb was stumped.Why isthis woman's intuition is so scary?“Caleb, I don’t want to ruin our relationship, but I hope youunderstand that I won't allow anyone to use me as a tool. You can tell me honestly if you needanything, but if you use trickery to get what you want, I won't entertain you. Do you understandwhat I mean?” There was a tinge of iciness in Kathleen's gentle voice.She was giving him a lastchance to confess.Caleb had a deep look in his eyes. “I don't understand what you'resaying.”Kathleen let out an indifferent chuckle. “It doesn't matter if you don’t understand. I've mademyself clear."Then, she hung up the phone.Caleb narrowed his eyes slightly.Philip looked at him."How's it, Mr. Lewis? Has Ms. Lewis been found?"“Yes. As expected, Charles found her.” Calebsounded bitter.Philip was shocked. “So... was he the one who made Ms. Lewis so miserable backthen?”Instead of answering him, Caleb asked, “How's the investigation going?*“There’s still no news.I can't replace anything about Ms. Lewis’ time in Pollerton. Now, we can only judge by a photo thatshe’s crossed paths with Charles. But, Mr. Lewis, there are three men in the photo with Charles’ facebeing the clearest. Are you sure it's him?" Philip furrowed his brow.”Would I ask you to look into it ifI was certain about it?” Caleb said coldly.Philip felt awkward. “Why can't we just ask Charles? Why dowe have to go through so much trouble?”“Do you think I'm not aware of that? But how can you besure that Charles would tell the truth?” Caleb retorted in a cold voice.Philip was stumped.”So wehave to get to the bottom of it or at least replace out some information before we ask him. Otherwise,we can't do anything if he cooks something up,” Caleb explained.Philip nodded. “It was poorjudgment on my part.”“It's not your fault. The man who hurt Vivian is too cunning. He's deleted allpast traces of him and Vivian. After much difficulty, we finally found Charles. I'll definitely not let himoff if he's indeed the man back then.”"Of course. Look at how tormented Ms. Lewis is. She's such anice person. I won't let that man off either!” Philip said, feeling angry.Caleb looked at him. “Telleveryone in the family not to stop monitoring the Johnson siblings. Also, don't stop Charles if hecomes to visit Vivian at home.""Okay.” Philip nodded.Charles sent Vivian back to the Lewisresidence.Carrying the latter in his arms, he met the Lewis family and intended to pass her tothem.After all, he was aware of the boundaries between men and women.The housekeeper lookedat him. “Mr. Johnson, there's nothing I can do if you pass her to me now. How about you carry herupstairs? Thank you.""Okay.” Charles swallowed hard.Carrying Vivian in his arms, he headedupstairs.When he entered Vivian's room, he was stupefied.”Is this really her room?” he asked indisbelief. The housekeeper nodded and explained awkwardly, “Ms. Lewis often smashes things.We're afraid that she would get hurt, so we have no choice but to remove everything.”Charles wasstunned for a moment. “Why does she smash things?"The housekeeper was stumped, not knowinghow to tell him.Charles glanced at her. “You're not allowed to say?”She nodded.Walking up to thebed, Charles gently placed Vivian on it.She looked like an angel while asleep.He could not help butbrush the hair from her forehead while his gaze lingered on her."She’s not crazy,” Charles stated.Thehousekeeper remained silent.Charles pulled away from Vivian. “All right, now that I've sent her back,I'll be taking my leave.”"Removing his jacket from her, he pulled the blanket over her body." Thankyou, Mr. Johnson,” the housekeeper said.”My sister said that she’s prepared a herbal soup. Don'tforget to feed it to Ms. Lewis,” Charles reminded in a deep voice.”Okay.” The housekeepernodded.Charles then left with his jacket. Watching him go downstairs, the housekeeper glanced atVivian, who was lying on the bed, and let out a sigh.Thank heavens she’s been found and sent backhome safely. After Charles left the Lewis residence, he put on a Bluetooth headset and dialed anumber.He talked on the phone while driving.”Just how much have you been hiding from me? Whydid Vivian become like this?” Charles gritted his teeth.The person on the other end of the call keptquiet for a moment before asking, “D-Did you see her, Charles?"Charles sneered coldly, his eyesbloodshot. “What exactly did you do?"After a pause, the person replied, “I've done her wrong."“FinnMoris, you're a bastard!” Charles lashed out.
