Although Randolph didn't know the girl's name, he had helped Julian lock onto the target whose name was Fanny.
Julian thanked Randolph, who however said in a self-mocking tone, "For what? I'm doing it for Yvonne."
Randolph and Yvonne were under threat, even if they were in jail,
Emelia was waiting for Julian in the car outside the detention center. As Julian got into the car, Emelia asked him concernedly, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah," Julian comforted her. "It runs well."
Emelia heaved a sigh of relief and eased her nerves that were fraying with concerns about Julian's health.
The driver took off while Julian told Emelia about what he got from Randolph in the car.
Emelia was stunned. "Winnie smoked?"
Julian narrowed his eyes. "Perhaps she's a good girl at home, but a depraved woman outside home."
Emelia regained her senses, saying determinedly, "So, we were right. Then our plan must work."
Julian replied to her, Winnie's friend is our trump card."
"Okay," Emelia said, "Then I'll start writing the script."
Emelia never expected one day her talent in writing would come in handy.
Eric got the news as soon as Julian left the detention center.
But Eric didn't take it seriously because Julian and Randolph had nothing to talk about. How was a prisoner useful to Julian?
Eric would never expect Julian to sniff about his sister's past from Randolph. In his eyes, his sister was perfect.
She was independent, smart, and capable, and she was never a gold digger, a homewrecker, or a whore.
They didn’t take any contraception measures because they wanted to impregnate Caroline so that she could go through the
painful abortion as Winnie had done.
Eric plotted something big for her. He wanted to turn Caroline to be a drug addict. He knew Caroline, and her life would be
totally over then.
That day, Caroline went to Eric's study as usual. She knocked on the door for a long time but no one answered. Then she
barged in and saw Eric leaning against the office chair with his eyes closed.
Eric had no reaction. Caroline, standing next to Eric, was shocked by the messy desk full of disposable needles, and Eric rolled
up his sleeves, revealing a needle hole on his firm skin.
When Eric opened his eyes and saw her, he was flustered, and then fumbled with the stuff on the table. Caroline smiled with
crossed arms. “What is it to rush? I've already seen it."
Eric looked a little nervous. He stood up and bundled Caroline in his arms. His voice cracked, "You won't turn me in, right?"
Caroline smiled. "What are you thinking? Why would I do that?"
