Karina choked back her tears and said, âBarlow, from now on, IâLL take care of Haleigh.
Rest in peace.
â
The sea breeze whipped through, tousling Karinaâs long hair, while seagulls above circled, their cries echoing in the distance.
Not far away, a man in a parked car captured the scene with his camera before driving off.
Meanwhile, in the CEOâs office at Hughes Group, Brian sat in his chair, attentively listening to Edwinâs report.
âMr.
Hughes, it appears that Mrs.
Hughesâ presence in the building last night might not have been of her own volition.
She was brought there by a womanâs bodyguard.
The womanâs name is Kennedi Reed.
Kennedi is the daughter of the former leader of Sun Group.
Karina was also taken away at the same time last night.
â
Upon hearing Edwinâs report, Brian narrowed his eyes in thought.
Sun Group?
Wasnât that the company Barlow had taken over?
Could it be that Kennedi had come to Wragos seeking revenge for her fatherâs downfall?
But what puzzled Brian was why she had kidnapped both Rosalynn and Karina at the same ti
me.
As Brian delved deeper into his thoughts, he recalled Rosalynn mentioning that Karina had feelings for Barlow.
Did Barlow reciprocate those feelings?
Could Kennedi have kidnapped them and forced Barlow to choose whom to save first?
And did Barlow ultimately choose Rosalynn?
These questions left Brian lost in thought, his expression a web of complexity.
He believed that a personâs true character emerged in moments of crisis, but doubts nagged at him.
Did Barlow truly love Rosalynn?
However, Brian felt that something was wrong.
His fingers drummed rhythmically on the table.
He couldnât help but imagine himself in Kennediâs shoes.
Could she genuinely accept seeing her enemy saving the person he loved deeply?
Why had she kidnapped Rosalynn and Karina in the first place?
Brian thought about it, and an idea suddenly popped into his mind.
Could it be that Karina was the one Barlow truly loved?
