Chapter 120: Discovery

Although Edwin really wanted to stay and have dinner with Caroline, he really didn’t have the time. Even though Caroline looked very relaxed, what happened today still sounded an alarm for him.

Caroline’s enemy was much stronger than he had imagined, and they were more ruthless than he was. Just to test the waters, they shot a professionally trained person on the street without hiding their tracks. It could be said that he didn’t care about the police station or the Anderson family at all.

Since Edwin had already decided to keep Caroline under his wing and protect her, there was no reason for him to back down. Many things had to be re-arranged, including the security around Caroline.

Every task required time and effort, so Edwin could only leave Caroline’s home unwillingly.

At the same time, Caroline was also thinking about this question. Originally, she had thought that she would have more time to prepare and slowly increase her strength, but Eva’s appearance had clearly alarmed and attracted their attention, so she had to speed up her pace.

Right now, the most pressing issue for her was still money. Caroline thought for a moment. After Eva and Danika fell asleep that night, she changed her clothes and left the villa.

In a car not far away, Oleg was watching the people testing the machine. Suddenly, he saw a red shadow flash on the screen. He immediately became alert and picked up the walkie-talkie to give orders, “There’s something unusual in the villa. Did you see anyone break in?”

After Edwin returned home tonight, he decided to increase the security around Caroline. Hence, he ordered a thermal imaging device to be placed around the villa. This way, as long as there was a living object approaching the villa, they would be able to detect it regardless of whether it was day or night.

As soon as the device was set up, they immediately noticed the problem and paid attention to it. The red shadow was too fast, and Oleg and the others didn’t have time to see if it was a human or an animal.

The bodyguards who were on duty outside the villa immediately took action, but Caroline was too fast. They couldn’t catch her figure at all. They immediately reported the situation to Edwin and asked if they wanted to enter the villa to check the situation.

Edwin was still dealing with some matters. After receiving the call, he immediately stood up from his chair. In view of the calm and quiet villa, Edwin was worried, but he couldn’t let his men rush in.

After thinking for three seconds, he decided to call Caroline first.

Caroline knew that Edwin had arranged security guards outside her villa, so she deliberately avoided them. However, she didn’t expect that Edwin would be so cautious to the extent that he even used thermal imaging.

In the face of technology, no matter how powerful Caroline was, no matter how agile her movements were, she would still be captured by the machine.

She had just left the villa area when Edwin’s call came in.

The vibration of the phone was pressed against her thigh. Caroline hesitated for a moment before she went to a quiet place to answer the call.

On the other side, every beep from the phone made Edwin feel that it was exceptionally long. Just before the call was about to be hung up, the other side finally answered.

“Edwin?” Caroline’s voice was heard.

Edwin’s tensed heart finally relaxed. “It’s me, Caroline.”

Caroline heard his breathing sound a little abnormal. “What’s wrong?”

“You didn’t pick up the phone, so I was a little worried.” Edwin couldn’t tell her that he had just detected an abnormal situation because he had made a huge decision to install the thermal imaging device. He hadn’t had the time to tell Caroline about it in detail, so he was afraid that she would think that he had monitored her too much.

When Caroline heard this, she thought that he was scared by what happened today, so she did not dare to tell him that she had sneaked out to do some dangerous things. She could only vaguely say, “I was dealing with some things just now, so I couldn’t pick up your call in time. I’m sorry.”

“As long as you’re fine, it’s all good.” Edwin shook his head. “I’m sorry to disturb you so late at night.”

Just as Caroline was about to say something, a car suddenly drove toward her. Caroline quickly hid her phone in her clothes..
