Looking as pale as a sheet, Caroline pushed through the door. That villa right there was… 

Ignoring the chauffeur, Caroline swept her eyes around the house. It was an old and unfurnished 

villa. There was dust everywhere. She could even see footsteps on the ground. 

The footsteps were clear, so the person they belonged to probably came in here not long ago. 

She glanced at the footsteps and thought that the person’s shoe size was similar to Kirk’s 

“Carol, is Kirk here?” Gwen asked after entering the villa and seeing the footsteps. 

“He probably is.” Caroline took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She then followed 

the footsteps forward. 

Soon, they saw a basement. Its door was open. 

Panic washed over Gwen, and she gripped Caroline’s hand. “Carol, this place gives me the creeps. 

It could be dangerous here. We shouldn’t head in.” 

Caroline considered the suggestion and said, “You can stay outside. I’ll go in there alone. If I don’t 

come back up after half an hour-” 

“No way!” Gwen cut her off. 

“I’m going in there with you.‘ 

Caroline was about to say something when they both heard something that sounded like a sob

Only then could Caroline get a clear view of what was happening before her. Kirk stood by the 

switch. Also present was Howard, who sat in a chair with his arms tied up behind him, not far 

from Kirk. 

“Why is he here?” Caroline was so stunned by the scene that greeted her eyes that she 

momentarily forgot that Kirk had lied to her. 

Gwen stood and stared at Howard in surprise. Nobody had expected Howard to be here, especially 

since the entire world was busy searching for him. 

“I don’t have a clue.” 

Kirk took out his phone and showed it to Caroline. “Someone messaged me.” 

However, Caroline’s focus wasn’t on the message on the screen. Her gaze fell on Kirk’s face, and 

she asked, “What happened to your face? Did you get into a fight with someone?” 

As she spoke, she approached him to inspect the bruises and cuts on Kirk’s face. He 

subconsciously raised his hands to cover them, but she forcefully grabbed his hands to stop him. 

“These are just scabs. I’ll be as good as new in no time,” he said. 

Still, she continued to inspect his wounds. There were scabs, indeed, and she could see that he
