Chapter 1868

The tower where Liam operated was in a separate district that was closed off to visitors.

Currently, only a handful of streets in the city was open to the public.

After Caprice stepped out of the lobby, she had to walk some distance before finally accessing the streets open to the public.

Shortly after that, she managed to find Freya.

Freya was sitting by herself on a bench. Her eyes glittered the moment she saw Caprice, then a conflicted look overshadowed

them.

“Caprice, is the Liam you've been talking about the owner of the city?” she asked in a hushed voice, afraid of people overhearing

them.

Caprice sat next to her and nodded. She clarified urgently, “Frey, | didn’t mean to hide it from you.”

Freya shaped her lips into a thin line. “I understand.”

Caprice was not the kind to show off her connections. Another thing she was reluctant to tell Freya was that Liam already had a

girlfriend.

Freya held Caprice’s hands and continued asking, “Caprice, how come you know Isabel Ross? And

why does she address Liam as her brother?”

As if Caprice being acquainted with the very owner of Carter Tech City was not shocking enough, the famous movie star Isabel

knew her by name as well!

Caprice explained, “Isabel and Liam are twins. I've known them ever since | was a baby.”

Freya was astounded by the startling discovery. “They’re twins? Why do they have different surnames?”

Caprice explained, “Liam took their father’s surname while Isabel took their mother’s.”

“That explains it.” Freya sighed reflectively, then she shot a playful look at Caprice. “I was just thinking that Liam looked so

handsome when he carried you into the car.”

Caprice’s cheeks grew red. “He’s always been handsome.”

“You know... | kind of feels like he’s into you,” Freya said cautiously.

Liam had gotten out of the car and carried Caprice into the car himself, then he made a point of instructing his assistant to find

the person who was responsible for shoving Caprice and to contact the authorities. Anyone could tell that he cared for Caprice

and was very protective of her.

Caprice stirred with emotions and promptly clarified, “My mother and his mother are very good friends. We’ve known each other

since we were kids, and as far as | remember, he’s always been protective of me.”

He would have done the same for Isabel; she did not doubt that. If he was truly interested in her, he would not be dating Heather.

Freya noticed how Caprice was avoidant of the subject and quickly dropped the matter. “Anyway, enough about that. The city is

beautiful. Let’s go shopping!”

With that, the two began their tour of the city.

It was only after they walked away that several figures emerged from the hedge of bushes behind the bench they were just

sitting on.

Kenneth expressed in disbelief, “I can’t believe it. She’s known the owner of Carter Tech City and the famous Isabel Ross ever

since she was a baby!”

Moses stood next to him and stared at Caprice’s figure from behind. A troubled look appeared on

his face.

They heard everything Caprice told Freya back there.

Caprice’s mother was close friends with the mother of the owner of Carter Tech City. Anyone with the vaguest common sense

could tell that this meant that Caprice came from a significant family

as well.

To think that all this time, he thought she was just an ordinary girl.

Kenneth suddenly grew paranoid. “You guys don’t think that she’s going to hold any kind of grudge against me because of what |

said about her back there, do you?”

Moses stated, “I don’t think so. She’s not that kind of

person.”

Kenneth shot a look at him. “How do you know that? You've only known her for a few days.”

Moses looked back at him with a marked frown. “She promised to help me when I've only known

her for two hours, and she pulled through just as she said she would. Do you think someone like her is going to hold a grudge

just because of some senseless bickering?”

Kenneth’s eyes flashed. “That's not necessarily...”
