As soon as Caroline sat down, a faint smell of medicine wafted into her nose. It wasn’t coming from her, but from the man beside her. It was surprisingly not unpleasant.

Combined with the man’s pale face, Caroline concluded that he was a long-term patient.

“Oleg, didn’t you hear her?” The man looked at the driver in the front seat.

Hearing the man’s dangerous signal, Oleg shivered.

“I’m sorry, Sir.” He immediately started the car and drove forward.

Caroline looked at the two of them and then looked at the man beside her.

Before she could say anything, the man turned his head and introduced himself. “My name is Edwin.”

Why was he so familiar with her?

Caroline choked for a moment. “…You can call me Caroline.”

Edwin reached out his hand. “Nice to meet you.”

Caroline lowered her head and looked at the pair of slender, white, and flawless hands in front of her. She subconsciously rubbed the fingers on her thighs, but she did not feel the thick calluses like before. Her heart skipped a beat before she realized that her hands were no longer the hands that had gone through countless training and battles.

Caroline chuckled and reached out to shake his hand. “Nice to meet you too.”

Without waiting for Edwin to return the handshake, Caroline pulled her hand away and changed the topic. “I’m curious. Do you stop your car to help people who need help on the road?”

Edwin retracted his hand with some regret. He replied with a slightly cunning tone, “I don’t think anyone would turn a blind eye to a slender and beautiful lady standing alone on the street helplessly.”

Sitting in the driver’s seat, Oleg glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Edwin’s accustomed expression. “You’re a kind and warm-hearted person.”

However, anyone who knew and had a little understanding of the demon, Edwin, would not agree with this judgment.

But it was obvious that the lady in the back seat knew nothing about Edwin.

Looking at Edwin’s kind and upright appearance, Oleg felt a little sympathy for the notorious Miss Lambert.

After all, every time Edwin acted like this, he must have some ulterior motive, and it wasn’t a small one. Unfortunately, as long as it was a prey that he had his eyes on, he had never failed.

Unfortunately, what he didn’t know was that Miss Lambert wasn’t as innocent and gullible as he had imagined. Although Caroline didn’t know this Edwin of unknown origin, her instincts from the battlefield were warning her that although this man looked noble and fragile, he was indeed an extremely dangerous person. Thus, she had always been on high alert.

The car arrived at Rika Apartment in no time.

The car had just stopped, and before Oleg could get out to open the door, Caroline jumped out nimbly. “Thank you for your help.”

However, Edwin followed her out of the car and met Caroline’s confused gaze. He looked at the Diantong Building next door and said, “I’m going to the Diantong Building to settle something.”

“Oh,” Caroline drawled, “that’s quite a coincidence.” She waved her hand.

“Kind sir, I wish you a smooth journey and a happy day.”

After that, Caroline turned around and entered Rika Apartment.

Edwin held onto the car door as he watched her figure disappear from a distance. Beside him, Oleg saw that there was something wrong with his eyes, and his heart was in his mouth.

Oleg couldn’t help but mention, “This lady from the Lambert family doesn’t have a very good reputation in the upper-class society. They say that she’s gloomy, unsociable, mute, rude, and likes to bully people.”

“Hmph!” Edwin sneered, his tone filled with sarcasm. “When did you become a gossiper, listening and spreading vulgar and self-contradictory gossip that’s like a melodramatic 8 pm TV show?”

Oleg smiled awkwardly. “I think she must have done a lot of bad things in public to win those people’s words.”

The smile on Edwin’s face disappeared completely. He looked at Oleg coldly. “If this is all you can do, then you don’t have to stay with me.”

Oleg trembled and lowered his head, his face turning pale. “I’m sorry, Sir. I know I was wrong. Please give me another chance.”
