“All we can do now is just hope.” Charles sighed.
After that, the two no longer exchanged words as the room fell silent.
At that moment, they were taking their time to register the presence of the new Carl.
The next morning, a statement regarding Carl’s departure had been posted on his personal Facebook account.
At once, both the entertainment and fashion world were shocked. It had inevitably caused many debates which discussed why he was leaving so suddenly and why he didn’t even attend the announcement conference.
Many of Carl’s fans couldn’t take it, so they had gathered together and waited outside his residential area. They were hoping to bump into him to get the truth and reason for his departure.
Nevertheless, they failed to see him even after camping there for a day. Some of the more aggressive fans had even barged into the residential area, and into his house. To their dismay, they found the place he stayed to be completely deserted.
Carl was missing.
This topic had gone up to the trending chart, and more netizens were guessing where Carl went.
However, no matter how they tried, they still didn’t know where he went, or why he had suddenly decided to quit without saying anything.
After all the commotion, his sudden departure and absence had become the entertainment and fashion fields’ biggest secret of the year.
Sitting by Toby’s bed was Sonia, who was looking at the trending news online.
Reading them, she subconsciously pursed her lips.
She knew why he had left.
It was because he was going back to Westsanshire; he was returning to the Hayes Family.
He had said that himself.
Though it wasn’t something to be proud of, she was secretly happy that this Carl had gone back to the Hayes’ to sort things out. When the old Carl comes back, he doesn’t have to personally deal with those horrible people and their business anymore, Sonia thought.
That was right. Although she knew that the old Carl wasn’t all innocent and kind, she didn’t want him to actually do anything bad. She was hoping that the old Carl could keep his hands clean.
Hence, these dark and dirty matters could be dealt with by this Carl.
Though, she had another reason behind wanting him to go back—she didn’t know how to live with this new Carl.
As she was deep in thought, her phone rang.
Glancing at her phone, she saw that it was a call from Rebecca.
When she saw the caller ID, she sighed, knowing the reason why Rebecca called.
“Rebecca, you’re leaving?” As soon as the call got connected, Sonia asked before the other end could speak.
Stumped, Rebecca said with her mouth hung open, “President Reed, you knew about this?”
“I guessed it.” Sonia chuckled before she continued, “You came to Seafield to look for Carl. Now that he wants to go back to Westsanshire, your task is considered done. So, it’s only logical that you want to go back with him.”
Hearing that, Rebecca calmed down. “I didn’t know that you already knew that Carl is our young master.” “Yeah. I found out a few days ago.” Sonia nodded.
Rebecca then said in an embarrassed tone, “Yes, President Reed. I'm calling to resign as I’ll be heading back to Westsanshire.”
“Alright. You have my approval,” Sonia answered. However, she pursed her lips before adding, “However...”
“What is it?” Rebecca asked in confusion.
With a sigh, Sonia said, “Here’s the thing. There’s something I need your help with. You do know about Carl’s psychological issue, don’t you?”
“Yes, I do.” Rebecca hummed in acknowledgement.
Sonia then said, “Two days ago, Carl had undergone some triggering incident which led to the birth of his second personality... No, it wasn’t the birth. It has existed since long ago, but it has been in hibernation. Now, this other personality has awakened and taken over his body’s control. Not only that, this identity has a grudge for Carl’s original identity, so he intends to seek for a psychiatrist to help get rid of Carl’s original identity.”
“What?!” Hearing what she said, Rebecca raised her voice in confusion. “President Reed, you’re saying that the Carl now is not the old Carl?”
“Yes. It’s his split personality. He’s a very dark personality that wants to get rid of his initial identity and take over his body. Hence, I hope that you can keep an eye on him when he gets back to Westsanshire. Don’t let him get to a psychiatrist and get rid of Carl. Please.”
