Chapter 134
Caroline changed into her swimsuit. Embarrassed, she walked slowly out of the room toward the
swimming pool.
Her swimsuit was more conservative compared to what the other women wore, but her long and slender legs showed beneath the skirt. They shone under the light, and she instantly took the spotlight.
Quite a number of men approached her and invited her to drink with them. Caroline had never liked being so close to strangers. So she tried her best to refuse them.
However, more and more people crowded around her, and she found herself helplessly surrounded by them.
Glancing around for help, she tried to find anyone who looked familiar. She kept searching, but
her efforts were in vain
Meanwhile, Avery stood on the second floor, looking down at Caroline.
Caroline was being flocked by a group of men, and she was steadily moving back toward the pool. The gentle smile on Avery’s face was now replaced by a cruel smirk.
The group of men continued to close in around Caroline. Taking a deep breath, she told them she‘
was married in an attempt to stop them from getting closer.
One of the men with a glass of wine in his hand laughed. “Why are you saying that when we’re all
trying to have fun here? I just want to invite you for a drink.”
His words were the opposite of his actions. His eyes were glued to her exposed skin.
Caroline frowned. It was unsettling, and she thought that things were getting out of hand.
“I don’t want to drink,” she said, voicing her stand once again as she turned to look behind her.
Behind her, the water rippled in the swimming pool. There were lots of people in it. All of their
attention was on her thanks to the commotion. However, none of them tried to help.
Caroline took another glance at the pool and turned to look at the people who were surrounding her like vultures. When they spoke, she could hear all sorts of obscenities and vulgarities.
Eventually, she clenched her jaw and jumped into the pool.
She would just swim to the other side of the pool and go back home right after that.
She’d thought that Kirk’s friends would be courteous and polite. But her time here confirmed that wasn’t the case.
they behaved like hooligans and scumbags. She started to doubt if they were truly Kirk’s friends,
The smile on Avery’s face became more twisted when she noticed that Caroline was already in the
pool.
Fortunately, Caroline was good at swimming. With just a couple of strokes, she managed to reach
the other side of the pool in no time.
Just as she placed both her hands on the edge of the pool to push herself up, she felt something
wrap around her leg. It yanked her down into the water.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she glanced down to see two women grinning at her underwater.
Before she could respond, they pulled at her legs once more. Their hands were like the tentacles of an octopus, clinging onto her and yanking her deeper underwater.
Caroline wasn’t prepared, and she accidentally took a gulp of water. It made her lose control of her breathing, and she started flailing her arms like a person about to drown. “H–help… me!”
Amused, the people standing around the pool watched on. The two women in the water became bolder and continued their attack with more force. They grabbed Caroline by her hair and pulled
her head underwater.
Caroline felt as though she had lost control of her limbs. She could no longer move, and darkness
closed in on her.
All this time, Avery stayed on the second floor and watched the show.
From the corner of her eye, she noticed a person clad in black quickly move forward. Her expression changed instantly, and she rushed downstairs.
When she reached the ground floor, she happened to bump into Kirk. “Kirk-” she greeted him.
with a smile, only to be completely ignored.
Kirk rushed over to the edge of the pool with long strides. He started searching for Caroline, but to
Realizing that he was going to jump into the water, Avery immediately grabbed his arm to stop him. “Kirk, what are you doing? Have you forgotten that you get claustrophobic underwater?”
Yanking his arm away from her, Kirk dived into the pool without even the slightest hint of
As soon as he was in the pool, he felt the pressure of the water bearing down on him. It enveloped his entire body.
He felt as though he were suffocating. For a moment, his vision turned black,
again, and her cries echoed in his ears and in his mind.
Stunned by it all, Avery stood frozen on the spot. Her heart twisted and writhed in spite, so much
so that she forgot how to breathe.
All the onlookers were stupefied by Kirk’s actions. The two women underwater were so astonished that they immediately let go of Caroline
Now that nothing weighed her down anymore, Caroline could finally catch her breath. She broke
the surface of the water and gasped for air.
Her sight had been blurred by the water, but she’d thought she had seen Kirk underwater.
Relief washed over her as she thought that she finally had someone to rely on. Smiling, she called
out, “Kirk!”
