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. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
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.
If Antonio had been the first person to hurt Caroline's feelings, then Caroline's parents and brother were the next to do so.
Was Caroline really in no pain?
Did Caroline really not care?
If she didn't care, then how could she, who was so short of money that she normally wanted to spend a penny in half, ignore that box of money and then walk away with her numb leg?
If she really didn't care, why would she, who was headstrong, deny that she had framed Winnie in plain sight and ask Antonio if he believed her?
Marissa thought of this and suddenly felt a sharp pain. Marissa thought, "That fool's never been one to wear her heart on her sleeve, but she asked Antonio if he believed her in such a situation.
Maybe that fool used all her strength to ask Antonio if he believed her."
And now Marissa couldn't find that fool. That fool could not walk very far because she had difficulty in walking. But Marissa could not find that fool anywhere. Marissa was terrified. She was really afraid something would happen to that fool.
Marissa did not dare to conceal anything from the person on the other end of the phone and reported exactly what she had seen.
The man on the other end of the phone had a flash of anxiety in his eyes. He stood up at once. "Go and find again. I'll be right there!"
He didn't say anything superfluous. After hanging up, the man picked up the car keys and hurried to the garage.
At the door, the man said to Cyrus and Henry, "Wake them all up and follow me."
The cold command made Cyrus and Henry both shocked at the same time. Cyrus and Henry looked at each other. They were wondering what happened.
They dare not disobey. Cyrus was going to drive. Henry went to wake up the others.
"You don't need to drive. You go with them."
The man refused decisively and did not let Cyrus follow him.
The man told Cyrus an address. Then the man hit the gas, backed out of the garage, and made a sharp turn in the steering wheel. The loud zoom was particularly harsh in the quiet night.
Cyrus's eyes suddenly contracted. He joined Henry and a few others who came. "I'm afraid it's going to be a sleepless night. One car for each person."
It seemed that something big had happened. They had many people and too many cars. It was convenient for one person to drive one car to act alone.
Henry had no objection. Six highly trained bodyguards each got into a black Mercedes. A stream of cars came out of the house, which was extraordinary.
Such a noise naturally disturbed the old housekeeper's rest. He looked out of the window. His old eyes looked puzzled.
He thought about it for a moment and called Cyrus. "What is it?"
"It is urgent," Cyrus said. Then he rung off. "Urgent" meant Cyrus didn't know what it is. It must be an emergency.
The rapid braking sound was the sound of tires grinding against the ground rapidly. Marissa looked over. There was a car parked at the door. She hurried over.
The man in the car got off quickly. "Did you find her?" He wore a poker face.
"No. It's my fault that Cayne and I talked a little nonsense, otherwise, Caroline wouldn't have disappeared." Marissa was really anxious, and she was a little reckless. "Mr. Shawn, after that fool has been hurt twice in a row, will she take things too hard and commit suicide?"
Under the dim street lamp, the man's heart skipped a beat. His eyes flashed a trace of tension. He kept his poker face. "Shut up. She wouldn't be so vulnerable."
