Chapter 89

Caroline followed behind Kai In a haze of confusion.

With his hands in his pockets, Kai was confident as he asked Caroline, “What kind of outcome do you want from this, Ms. Evans?”

Caroline thought about it seriously for a few minutes. “What’s the worst sentence that could come out of a case like this?”

Kal raised an eyebrow. When he looked at her, his eyes held some measure of admiration.

He hadn’t thought that the woman who was rumored to always run after Eddy Morrison was such a ruthless character.

*For destruction of property and initiating a light, she could be jailed for a couple of weeks If proven guilty.”

Caroline smiled slightly. “With your capabilities, the sentence should be worse, right?”

Kai grinned but didn’t answer.

Caroline straightened. “I have one last question.”

“Please ask away.”

“Who hired you?”

Kal looked into Caroline’s eyes. “I’m afraid I can’t answer this.”

Before Kai had gotten here, his employer had warned him not to reveal the man’s Identity. Kai certainly didn’t want to offend the man.

Hearing that, Caroline didn’t question Kai any further.

The two walked side by side to the exit.

At the door, they stumbled upon Layla, who was about to get into her car when she spotted Caroline.

She called in a strange tone.”

Caroline.”

Caroline turned slowly to look at her.

Layla had already pushed her wheelchair before Caroline.

They were at the police station, so she wasn’t afraid of Caroline now.

“I’m sure my lawyer has informed you of my intentions.”

Yet Layla didn’t notice this. She put her chin on her palm and said, “Even if you waste all your effort on getting on Eddy’s good side. you won’t be able to win his heart even if you win his stomach!”

Caroline scoffed. “Only you would consider a cowardly man like him a treasure.” Then, she turned to Kai. “Thank you, Mr. Strauss. I’ll be leaving now.”

Kai said, “Let me drive you home.”

“How could I trouble you to do that?”

“This is one of my duties. Let’s go.”

They continued speaking while completely ignoring Layla and Gordon.

Layla was so annoyed by this that she shouted at Caroline, “Caroline, I’ll be sure to put you in the slammer!”

Standing by Layla’s side, Gordon’s expression darkened. “I’m afraid things might end up going the other way around, Ms. Evans.”

“What?” Layla raised her head, confused.

Gordon said slowly. “That man is Kai Strauss, my mentor.”

Layla shuddered. Of course, she knew who the renowned Kai Strauss was.

After Kai had retired, the Morrisons had tried to get him to come out of retirement many times.

However, they had always been rejected.

How could Caroline manage such a feat?

Gordon said, “He’s my mentor. Could I have mistaken him for someone else?”

Kai hadn’t even looked at Gordon just now. It was as if Kai was very disappointed in him.

Kai didn’t drop Caroline off at her a
