Stevan called a guard into the room to bring him a document. Once the folder was in his hands, he quickly gave the file to Caraline.Caraline opened the folder in a hurry. The document contained photos of two run-down buildings, pictures of a black car taken from various angles, as well as sketches of a man in a black suit and a man in a car with his face covered by a cloth and only his eyeballs showing."I sent my men to the location of the thugs' headquarters according to the information from the criminals we still have in custody. I also got a sketch of the face of the person who recruited them based on the testimony of the criminals. Unfortunately, we haven't found the people in question yet," Stevan explained.Caraline quickly checked the video Helen had sent her. "It's the same car as the one used by the stabbers."Caraline also compared the sketch of the stabber's face with the new sketch Stevan had brought.

"Mr. Jacob's father's name was Joseph and Mr. Deric's mother's was Juliana. They were very loving parents and wonderful individuals. However, they are both gone now.""Joseph, Juliana, Jacob," Caraline murmured with a faint smile."Both are buried in one of the cemeteries in Summertown. Mr. Jacob was deeply hurt by their loss. But afterward, he promised them that they would become great men in the future."Caraline suddenly froze when she heard the last sentence. Her eyes suddenly condensed and prepared to shed a rain of tears. She immediately looked down with her chest tight. Her careless actions on the night of Carla's graduation had made Deric's life

However, she failed to do so when she saw Deric's appearance.Deric was wearing a dark blue suit that matched Caraline's dress. His hair was neatly styled so that it glistened in the lamplight. Let's not forget the smell of his perfume. His appearance added to his good looks many times over. The man looked perfect tonight.Caraline was completely amazed when she saw Deric. She didn't even blink for quite some time. At the same time, her heart was beating extremely fast. Rather than making Deric surprised by her appearance, the man made her very shocked. "Do you like my appearance?" asked Deric while observing his appearance. "I had quite a hard time finding a suitable outfit to wear tonight. Besides, I'm not very skilled when it comes to styling. So, I asked Thomas for help in choosing an appropriate outfit as well as styling my appearance. Thank goodness I wasn

The Heaventown highway seemed more congested than usual. Traffic jams occurred on several lanes of the road. Honking and swearing could be heard from the drivers. One of them came from the car Jeremy, Jonathan, and James were riding in."This is all because of you, James!" snapped Jeremy as he looked back with a glare. "You've reached your limit tonight."James just looked down in fear, not daring to look up."You almost made us late for tonight's event," Jonathan said, his hands clenched tightly into fists. "If we're not allowed into the venue, I'll kick your ass."James let out a long breath, leaning his back against the back of the chair. His gaze turned to the right and left. There were other vehicles stuck along with the car he was riding in."Shit!" Jeremy hit the steering wheel until the car horn sounded. His jaw tightened until his veins popped out. His eyes looked dewy as his breath began to catch. His face was red from holding back his anger."What exactly do you have in min

"Make sure the explosion happens after the event," said the first person to speak.James immediately froze. His face was instantly pale. His eyes rounded for a few moments. With his heart racing, he tried to peek outside."Are you sure this restroom is safe?" the man asked again."This restroom is far away from the main restroom. So, it's unlikely that any of the guests would enter this restroom. I can confirm its safety."James quickly pulled his body to its original position. He pointed his cell phone at the bottom of the slightly open stall and started recording a video. He didn't know why he was doing this, but he had a feeling that the two men were up to something sinister. "We'd better get ready at the location," said the one who spoke first, "I'll make sure the bomb is properly installed at the designated location.""Alright, I'll do the same."The conversation ended as footsteps slowly moved away from James' toilet cubicle. The door opened and soon closed from the outside.Ja

"De-Deric?" Caraline turned her head for a moment, squeezing her dress. "What did I ask him for? I can't do it.""Why?" asked Diego, "isn't he just a dog?"Helen and Lucy, who had overheard the conversation, turned their heads. They exchanged glances for a moment but then chose to remain silent."Come on, having a dog isn't that difficult," Diego persuaded."Unfortunately, I don't want to let him out of the house. Deric just had an accident.""An accident? What happened to him?" Diego asked.Caraline let out a long breath. "Yes, he did. That's why I don't want him to go through anything heartbreaking again.""I won't hurt him. So""So, I won't come to the dinner if you keep talking about Deric in front of me."
