Chapter 125 Mr. Shawn, Caroline was gone
Marissa's complexion was mixed. She was just tired of the banquet and wanted to find a quiet place to stay for a while, but she had not expected to hear and see such a great secret. For selfish considerations, she did not immediately run out to defend Caroline. And she hesitated because she was shocked by what Natalia said about Caroline's life experience and past.
Marissa bent down, picked up the check from the floor and held it out to Cayne. "I know you. You're Cayne." She chuckled and glanced at the check. "This 500 thousand dollars check was all that fool had that night. It was her life. But now the check means nothing to that fool."
With that, Marissa loosened her two fingers and the check fluttered to the floor. She raised her foot and hurried out the door.
Cayne's heart skipped a beat. He shouted behind Marissa, "Wait a minute! Why was this check all she had that night? And now it means nothing? 500 thousand dollars is still the 500 thousand dollars. It hasn't changed."
Marissa gave a chuckle and did not answer Cayne's question. But at the moment when she stepped out of the door, she turned to him and answered what was not asked,
"I am convinced now that she did not frame or kill anyone. That fool disdained to do so!"
When Marissa finished her words, there was a spring in her step. If that fool had framed and killed someone, that fool wouldn't be in this mess. But just now, Marissa almost believed it herself. How persuasive those words were.
If Caroline hadn't done it, why did she go to jail?
If Caroline hadn't done it, why did her own parents disown her?
If Caroline hadn't done it, why did Bentley sink his fangs into her?
There were people in the world every day who saw things with this kind of universal thinking. It was not just about Caroline.
There was a case that was famous all over the country. If someone's car didn't hit the victim, why did he try to help the victim up?
Now no one dared to do good deeds easily.
Marissa went out to find Caroline. She didn't think that fool could be left alone at this time.
But when Marissa went out, she couldn't find Caroline. Marissa said to herself, "It's not supposed to be like this. That fool has difficulty in walking. How could she have gone missing in so little time?
But that fool just disappeared!"
Marissa continued, "Will she go back to her dormitory?"
She hurried to Caroline's dormitory. She used the spare key to open the door. There was no one in it. She added, "That fool might be on her way." Marissa waited in Caroline's dormitory. She waited 40 minutes, but Caroline still didn't show up.
Marissa was afraid Caroline was still at the banquet, so she hurried downstairs and drove to the banquet. She asked all the waiters and they all said they hadn't seen Caroline. She searched almost everywhere she could.
Marissa wondered if Caroline had gone back to the dormitory after she had left Caroline's dormitory.
Marissa hurriedly called Ariella and asked Ariella to go to Caroline's dormitory to see if Caroline had returned. Within moments, Ariella called back to tell Marissa that Caroline's dormitory was empty. Then Marissa thought Caroline might be at the Royal Club. So Marissa called Ariella again, but the answer was not ideal.
Marissa took a look at the time. It had been an hour and a half since Caroline had disappeared.
A sudden panic struck Marissa. She thought, "What if something happen to that fool? After all, what that fool just went through would be hard for anyone to accept. What if that fool took things too hard?"
A flicker of hesitation crossed Marissa's face. Finally she gritted her teeth and took out her phone. "Mr. Shawn, Caroline was gone."
On the other end of the phone, the man's eyelids twitched. But he played it cool. "Put me straight."
Marissa didn't know if she did the right thing. But after what had just happened, she had never seen that fool smile like before. And now the man who had made that fool a little happier hurt that fool's feelings.
