After Will Sr. heard Caroline’s rejection, although he felt a little pity, he wasn’t too surprised. After all, Caroline had said from the start that she was doing this because she lacked money.

Now that she had received so much money from a single order, she probably wouldn’t take another one so quickly.

He smacked his lips regretfully. [Okay, you do have a point. You can contact me when you want to take more orders. Of course, if you need more weapons, you can also contact me.]

Caroline ended the communication with Will Sr. Then, she held her chin and looked at Edwin.

“What’s wrong?” Edwin, who was working on his computer at his desk, noticed Caroline’s gaze and looked over.

“It’s nothing,” Caroline shook her head. “You’ve been busy for more than two hours. I wanted to ask if you wanted to eat something.”

“I’m not hungry yet.” Upon hearing her words, Edwin’s expression softened. “If you want to eat, you can ask the butler to prepare it.”

“I’m a little thirsty, so I’ll go get a glass of water and prepare a cup of coffee for you to freshen up.” Caroline stood up from the sofa.

“I’ll have to trouble you.” Edwin nodded.

After Caroline left the room, the gentleness in Edwin’s eyes disappeared, and he gradually frowned.

It had been almost ten days since the ‘Water Star’ was stolen. Due to the power of the underground auction, the buyer behind the scenes had no choice but to vent his anger on someone else.

As far as Edwin knew, many people had been implicated in this matter these past few days. Although no one had died yet, this storm wasn’t small.

Edwin didn’t know what kind of state Caroline was in when she was out there. He was worried that Caroline’s identity would be exposed and cause an accident, so he kept her by his side these days.

However, Caroline was a very independent adult. He could tie her up for a while, but he could not tie her up forever. Although Caroline did not show any obvious resistance, he knew that this was not a long-term solution. Hence, he had to solve the problem from the root.

The Anderson family must have some shady connections to be able to run such a large underground auction house. Edwin had just found out from a certain channel that the Water Star sapphire was most likely in the hands of the person who had offered the bounty.

So, after some thought, Edwin decided to start from this point and release the news, thus shifting everyone’s perspective away from the bounty hunters.

Therefore, he sent people to spread the news that the ‘Water Star’ had fallen into the hands of a crown prince.

As for who the crown prince was, they could narrow down the candidates by contacting the history of the Water Star.

He had just finished arranging this when Joline’s call came in.

She said awkwardly over the phone, “I’m sorry. Although I should be a sensible person and shouldn’t have come to disturb you at this time, I thought that you should be able to control your joy, so I still called you to borrow Caroline.” “What do you want?” Edwin covered his head.

Joline was picking out jewelry. “I’m going to a tea party in the afternoon, but I don’t want to go alone, so I wanted Caroline to accompany me.”

Edwin wanted to say that with Caroline’s personality, she would definitely not like this kind of boring party to kill time. However, he knew that Joline was just asking Caroline to accompany her, but in fact, Joline wanted to bring Caroline out and make more connections.

He hesitated for a moment. “Caroline isn’t my accessory, so I can’t make decisions for her. I think you’d better ask her yourself.”

Joline, who was good at socializing, knew this. “I was afraid that you would mind and think that I’ve stolen your woman, so I told you in advance.”

Edwin emphasized, “I’m not so petty as to vent my anger on you over such a small matter. Also, I won’t restrict Caroline’s freedom. She can do whatever she wants.”

Joline didn’t believe him. “But I heard that you’ve been keeping her by your side these days.”

“I only asked her to stay by my side a little longer. I didn’t tie her up.” Edwin knew that she would do this.

“What’s the difference between this and kidnapping? It’s just that the rope is transparent.” Joline pouted. “I’m telling you, you’ll scare a girl away if you treat her in such an overbearing way..”
