The scene threw Elijah into a trance. When he wanted to confirm what he had seen, there was not a single trace of tear left on her flushed little face other than a pair of bloodshot eyes.
Clenching her fists, Carolien silently mourned for herself for three seconds deep down before speaking in an ice-cold voice, "I hope that Mr. Luther, you're a man who keeps your word and promise. Don't ever forget about what you said today!"
She hoped that he wouldn't ever regret the choice he made for infinite years to come!
Her teeth gnashed in hatred, and for the first time, Carolien was rendered speechless from fury.
"Carolien..."
When he spoke once more, his tone was one of hesitation and regret. The look on her face was horrifying. For some reason, his heart throbbed and thumped. It was as if a terrible premonition swept over him.
"Leave!"
"Carolien?"
When she heard the familiar voice that could send her heart trembling, Carolien could no longer hold her anger back no matter how good-tempered she might be. Her hand struck forward to send the cake flying at him.
"I told you to get lost!"
"Get lost!"
As she roared, Carolien's voice was filled with hysterical anger. She had never despised someone that much. At that moment, the anger in her heart was like a volcano that threatened to erupt, breaking free loose of control.
Even though the cake was in a box, the force thrown at him was with unbearable strength. With a hurting smack, there were still some traces of cream left on his expensive clothes. His face was burning hot, his clothes dirty and filthy. Elijah had never been in such a sorry state in his entire life. He wanted to speak still, but all the words were jumbled up in his mouth. He knew that no matter what a glib tongue he had at the moment, it would be useless to even say anything. In a daze, and not knowing what was happening, he found himself outside the door by the time he returned to himself. What pulled him back to reality was a deafening slam of the door.
......
No one knew what they talked about in the room that night. Hudson and Hart were incredulous to find that Carolien actually agreed. After two days of busy work, the day arrived.
In the room, Hudson picked up the other party's phone before rushing over to say, "Elijah, the location has been changed to a private club of the ABSS Film and Television Company. It's the private villa of the owner of a minor entertainment company!"
Putting down the teacup in his hand, Hart chimed in.
"What a sly fox! How cunning. He's indeed on guard against us! If we got everything ready at the appointed place, it'll all be useless now!"
Hudson replied after returning to his seat.
"Well, fortunately, he's still a fox hiding among the bushes nonetheless. As eagles, we're experienced. Else, our efforts would have been in vain! Our unconditional cooperation must have let their guard down. I heard that his private villa is private property, so it is relatively safer. They arranged for us to head over at eight o'clock, which means that they're going to hold a small party in the name of the company at half past eight so that the pervert has the excuse to attend the event. So, as we expected, there might possibly not be only one person heading over. In half an hour, we should have settled everything. I guess that even in his dreams, he would not have expected our people to set up our plan according to his moves!"
"Don't let your guards down! Get ready for plan B!"
They exchanged details before Elijah said, "Inform her. Let's go!"
With that, he stood up with his cold, well-defined face devoid of emotions.
