Chapter 21

Caroline began to think hard, and the faces of each member of the Ziegler family flashed across her mind.

“Who could it be? Could it be that…”

At that moment, she had the impression that everyone could be the culprit.

“For example, it could be Carmen, Quintin’s hypocritical stepmother, or a member of Benjamin’s family. After all, Quintin’s existence jeopardizes their interests, and they can only gain more benefits if he disappears. If that’s truly the case, it’s too terrifying!” she mused.

“What do you have in mind?” the man inquired.

“I’m wondering if the assailant who caused your car accident and the perpetrator who told Peter to release the snake this time are the same people,” responded Caroline.

“It’s possible. No matter who it is, the truth will be revealed one day.”

Quintin had known for a long time that there was a connection between these incidents.

First, they tried to kill him in a car accident, but he survived, so they secretly released a snake in an attempt to murder him. again.

All of that had to be a series of events, possibly carried out by the same perpetrator.

Regardless of who they were, he would definitely replace them.

Before he went to bed that night, Caroline said to him, “Quintin, I have to return home tomorrow. You should have your assistant, Flynn, come over and take care of you.”

However, the man did not respond to her. Instead of repeating herself, she turned around to bring her son to rest.

The next day, after Caroline and her son had their breakfast, Savannah arrived to pick up Leon and drop him off at school.

Caroline placed a small pendant around her son’s neck and packed her belongings, preparing to leave as well. Yet, Leon hugged her thigh all of a sudden and refused to let her leave.

“Mommy has finally returned; is she abandoning me again? I know Daddy has a bad temper, and he got into another argument with her. Is she upset? Is that why she wants to leave? I don’t want Mommy to leave!” he pondered.

Meanwhile, Caroline noticed her son’s reluctance and concern, so she squatted down to comfort him. “Leo, I’m not leaving you. I have to go out and run some errands. Be a good boy and go to school obediently. I’ll pick you up after school in the afternoon, and we’ll go home together, okay?”

Upon seeing the boy pout, she stretched out her pinky finger and said, “How about we make a pinky promise?”

The next moment, Leon reached out and linked his pinky finger with hers to seal the pinky promise. After that, he stood there and watched her walk away.

As soon as his mother left, he was unhappy and pressed his lips together, wanting to cry but trying hard not to.

He was genuinely afraid that Caroline would never return again.

“Leo, let’s go to school now.”

Moments later, Savannah approached Leon, wanting to hold his hand, but the little boy would not let her touch him. After picking up his schoolbag, he got into the car. He wanted to go to school, then wait for his mother to pick him up in the afternoon when classes were over.

Upon noticing him act strangely, Savannah despised him and thought, “This little bastard. I hope he’ll just vanish!” Meanwhile, Carolme’s assistant, Riley, had arrived in a car to pick her up. Sitting in the backseat, she turned on the laptop to check the company’s affairs while simultaneously asking. “Any updates on the medicine I’ve asked you to investigate?”

“I’ve sent it to your email, Ms. Lewis.”

Opening the email, Caroline saw the detailed description of the medications.

According to the instructions on the bottle, the medicine contained tubocurarine, a neuromuscular blocking agent that could prevent muscle atrophy and weakening and could be used by paralyzed patients.

However, Quintin was not paralyzed. His lower limbs were only severely damaged, and he had not lost all feeling in his legs,

so the medicine was not suitable for lum.

“Edward has examined Quintin’s body and is fully cognizant of the latter’s current condition. So, why did he still prescribe this medicine to Quintin?” she wondered.

In fact, Caroline was aware that the Cook family had been in the medical profession for several generations. Edward and his father had both worked as personal doctors for the Zieglers and had always been loyal to them. Thus, it was utterly strange for a family doctor deeply trusted by the Ziegler family to prescribe such medicine to Quintin.

Chapter 21

“Later, take this medicine for composition analysis. I’m curious about the contents,”

Caroline suspected that there was something fishy with Edward. No one knew what his purpose was in doing so. Perhaps, he was attempting to harm Quintin.

Now that Quintin was gravely injured and vulnerable, he was very likely to be targeted by those around him. Hence, her job was to protect him and prevent anyone from harming him.

On the way to Virtuous Hotel, a five–star hotel, Caroline called her two sons. “Hello, Cayson and Mayson. How’s it going?”

“We’re ready! Mommy, where are you? When are you going to arrive?”

Cayson and Mayson were in the room of Virtuous Hotel at present. The former was lounging on the couch, leisurely munching on apples, while the latter was expertly fiddling with his laptop.

“I’ve arrived. We’ll meet when everything is over.”

When she hung up the phone. Riley had parked the car at the hotel entrance. Shortly afterward, Caroline stepped out of the vehicle, exuding a frigid aura as she strode toward the hotel lobby.

Melissa, the lady of the Lewis residence, was celebrating her birthday at Virtuous Hotel’s largest banquet hall that day. The Lewises had invited a large number of guests, including business tycoons, fashion industry insiders, and members of the mainstream media.

Right then, the atmosphere in the banquet hall was lively. As the head of the Lewis residence, the sociable Harry shuttled among the guests, conversing and laughing merrily while clad in a nice suit.

Back then, Melissa was just a mistress, but she had then successfully married Harry. Dressed in a grand and gorgeous gown with jewelry adorning her body, she was chatting and joking around with the ladies of wealthy families.

Looking at the harmonious scene, Caroline narrowed her eyes and strolled into the banquet hall while holding the hem of her dress.

A commotion broke out in the crowd the moment she appeared at the doorway.

“Who’s that woman?”

“Wow, she’s so pretty!”

Some of the guests exclaimed. As a result, more people turned to look in the direction of the sound and at the woman who was slowly walking in.

She was wearing a white gem–embroidered gown, shining brightly from head to toe. The makeup on her palm–sized face was delicate and alluring, and her raven–black hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall. Under the lights, her skin. appeared as white as snow.

She looked noble and elegant as if she were a beautiful princess from a fairy tale.

“She’s so glamorous! Who is she? A daughter from a prominent family?”

“Oh, my god. Her temperament rivals that of the Three Beauties of Jipsdale!”

In fact, Caroline was far more attractive than Yvonne and had an outstanding air of sophistication.

Many of the men present were amazed, and their eyes widened with astonishment.

Even Yvonne’s biological older brother, Jeremiah Xanthos, felt his heart skip a beat when the woman made her way in. He could not take his eyes off her. It was fair to say that it was the first time he had met a woman who could make his heart.

flutter.

Later, Harry and Melissa walked over to greet the incoming guests. When they spotted Caroline approaching them, they were dumbfounded and thought, “Why is Caroline here today? Doesn’t she have to look after the Ziegler family’s half–dead

son?”

Soon, some wealthy men’s wives gathered around the couple and asked curiously, “Mrs. Lewis, who is this lady? Is she at relative of yours?”

“Uh, no. She’s Harry’s eldest daughter,” Melissa explained awkwardly.

It was her birthday celebration that day, so, of course, she was supposed to be the queen and star of the party. However, Caroline was so well–dressed that it was evident the woman was there to steal the limelight.

“Mr. Lewis‘ eldest daughter? Do you mean Caroline Lewis? But wasn’t she killed in the fire five years ago?”

“That’s right. Isn’t she dead? How did she come back to life?”

Everyone in the city knew about the fire that had engulfed the Lewis residence five years ago.

The Lewises even had a memorial service and received a large sum of condolence money after their daughter was burned to

death.

Caroline’s sudden appearance was undoubtedly a slap in the Lewis residence’s face.

Chapter 21

Using their daughter’s death as a reason, they held a funeral and accrued a great deal of money. What would others think of them then that their daughter was alive and well?

Both Harry and Melissa were worried and thought, “Why is she here when we didn’t even invite her? What should we do

now?”
