âPaulinaâ¦â Alan swallowed hard, trying to suppress the surge of desire in his eyes. âYou shouldnât act like this. As a young woman, you need to have selfârespect
Paulina looked at him, seeing through him completely. Arenât you interested in me?â
Years ago, Frank had selected six people: two women and four men. The other woman was stationed in Northern Eulast. Among the men, the woman they had the most contact with was Paulina. It didnât surprise her that Alan might have feelings for her.
After taking a nap, Danny grabbed my phone and called Frank.
Frank answered quickly.
âUncle, happy birthday! Are you at the your office or at home?â
âAt home
âThen letâs go to your birthday party tonight together!â
âOkay.â Frank seemed to be in a good mood, agreeing readily. Then he remembered something and his tone turned colder. âWhat about your pretty sister?â
âWhich pretty sister?â
âYou know.â
âAunt!â Danny proudly handed me the phone. âUncleâs looking for you.â
I took the phone. âWhatâs up?â
âCharlotte, todayâ¦
Before he could finish, he paused and simply said, âBe at the car park at six.â
And then hung up. He didnât even give me a chance to respond.
Jane, still holding a grudge, commented, âWith his attitude, are you sure yesterdayâs incident was just a misunderstanding? Donât let it be that your perception of him isnât clear enough, and you end up getting
hurt again.
I smiled. âI never realized you held grudges so well.â
âWhen has there ever been an incident involving you that I didnât remember?â Jane poked me in the head. I just canât stand seeing others insult you. It doesnât matter if itâs Frankâs friend. Even if it were the president, I wouldnât tolerate it.â

After seeing that the Frank ended the call with Charlotte and answered Paulinaâs call.
Given Paulinaâs efficiency, she should have results by now. He was eager to know what happened with Charlotte two years ago.
âDid you find anything?â he asked.

âYes.â
Paulina spoke in a measured tone. âYou were right. Two years ago, Charlotte went abroad, to Frankes. The relevant documents were sent to your email a minute ago.â
Frank let out a slight sigh of relief. âSheâs been abroad for the past two years?â
âYes.â
âGo on.â
âBut she wasnât alone.â
Paulina maintained her calm tone. âJack accompanied her abroad. Jack has a villa in Frankes, and Charlotte has been staying there for the past two years
Frankâs grip on his phone tightened. âIs this information confirmed?â
was crossâchecked with Alan.â Paulina then delivered a significant piece of news. âJack first accompanied Charlotte abroad for over a month. He had to return to Cheria for the Smith Group but frequently went back to visit her, staying for several days each time.â
There was a long silence on the other end of the line after she finished speaking.
Frank pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling an unnameable rage boiling inside him.
âSo, this was why Charlotte had been evasive every time he asked about this?â
But Frank wasnât ready to admit it outright. His voice became a bit hoarse. âWhat has she been doing in Frankes for the past two years?â
Sheâs been studying design and became Daveâs student.â
Paulina left some details out. âIâve heard this was also arranged by Jack.â
Frankâs knuckles cracked as he clenched his fists, a dangerous aura emanating from him. âIs that all?â
âThatâs all!â
Paulina had intended to be more forthright but feared getting caught. âDonât worry. I will continue to look into this matter. I know your relationship with Charlotte is different. I wonât overlook any clues.â
