It was humid in the air.
The alley looked grim after night fell.
It was difficult for cars to pass through such a alley, so the driver turned around and said to the lady sitting at the back seat, "Miss Candy, I guess we can't go any further."
Carolina nodded, "OK, just wait here."
She opened the door and got off the car.
The sound of her high heels echoed in the alley. Not far from her, there was a man in black waiting there.
The man might had been there for a while. And it was hard to see his face clearly.
Carolina didn't want to come into contact with people like him, but he told her that the only way to get the document was to come and met him in person. Since she really needed this information, so she still decided to come.
As she walked closer to the man, she realized that he was wearing a hat and a mask. So, there was no way to recognize his face.
Carolina was getting impatient. She felt exposed while the man was completely hidden in the dark.
"I'm here. Where's the document?" She cut to the chase because she didn't want to stay for long. "Once I got what I wanted, you will get the money from your account."
The man started to talk, "Miss Carolina, I admire your frankness. And I am also a man of my words. Here is what you want." He smiled and passed a folder to her. Though she couldn't see his face, but he sounded gloating. "This is exclusive. You made an excellent choice when you came to us for this matter."
Carolina took a deep breath and said, "This will be the only time that I show up. I will not come again."
"Miss Carolina, what are you worried about? We are professionals and we follow the rules."
"If that's true, then stop calling my name."
"Miss Carolina, don't worry. Even if someone found out what you did, you won't take the blame. You've got a little sister, remember?" The man took a pause and resumed while stroking her chin, "And let me tell you more about it. You're not the only one checking on her. Your sister was also sniffing around this too, but she didn't get anything yet."
She wasn't surprised.
She let Karen know about Everly on purpose.
Because Carolina knew her well and she would definitely keep digging.
She snorted and didn't want to stay any longer. Just as she was about to leave, the man stopped her.
"Is there anything else?"
"I am telling you this as a favor. The woman that you are dealing with is not an easy bone to chew on. Her brother has sophisticated connections. So, if you want to deal with her, you need to get rid of her brother first."
Did you mean Hendrix?
Carolina didn't care much about it.
She got on the car and started to read the document.
She was shocked by the information in hand. At first, she felt hard to believe in what she was reading about, and then she felt it was ridiculous.
Everly was once Lucas' girlfriend. Nice work.
She went abroad five years ago, and had a child there.
What was going to do this time back? To find a rich stepfather for her son?
How dare she make a move on Maverick!
Well played, young lady. Nephew and his uncle, you played them both.
Then, she noticed that Edmond also went to Crane Kindergarten.
Carolina was getting furious. She felt herself being too carless and let this vulgar woman had her chance.
Good job, Everly! No wonder Candy wouldn't stop talking about a little boy lately.
