Chapter 185: Confidence

Caroline suddenly had an idea. She wanted to play a prank on him. Then, she teased, “So you have a foot fetish, Edwin.”
It was just a joke she thought up on the spot, but as soon as she finished speaking, Edwin’s hand trembled, and he coughed violently.
Edwin’s entire face had turned red. It was unknown whether it was because Caroline had pointed out his kinks or because he felt it was too ridiculous and choked on his saliva, causing him to cough.
Caroline narrowed her eyes. “Your big reaction will make me feel like I’ve hit on something in your heart.”
Edwin cleared his throat and said with a serious face, “What’s with your thinking jumping like that? The topic was too big and too sudden. I didn’t manage to react in time.”
Caroline sized him up seriously. “Perhaps you didn’t realize it, but when you lie, you subconsciously blink your left eye first, then your right eye.”
Because this difference was very small, ordinary people wouldn’t notice it at all. However, Caroline had good dynamic vision, so she noticed this small difference.
“So, you were lying just now,” Caroline said with certainty.
Edwin smiled bitterly. “I don’t think there’s a need to be so serious at a time like this.” If this went on, he was afraid that all his secrets and even the thoughts he had hidden would be revealed. It would be too embarrassing.
“Besides,” he suggested seriously, “you’re not being serious if you use such a professional method to make a judgment game.”
Caroline shrugged. “Alright then.” Since Edwin didn’t want to talk about this topic, she could only change the subject.
“Who do you think would be behind Miss Hall’s near kidnapping today?” As the saying went, where there were people, there would be jianghu. Similarly, where there were benefits, there would be mutual deception.
Edwin thought for a moment. “Since the other party wants to kidnap Julie, it’s more likely that they want to use her to threaten Mr. Hall and make him stop some plan.”
About this matter, Edwin had obviously received some news. “This Mr. Hall is a man of action. After he came to power, some of the policies he proposed were boycotted by some consortiums, so this matter might be related to this.”
Caroline was curious. “Will the Anderson family be affected?”
Judging from Joline’s attitude toward Mrs. Hall and what he said, the Anderson family should be on the same side as Mr. Hall.
“It’s impossible to say that it won’t be affected at all. But even if it is, it won’t be all bad effects. After all,” explained Edwin, “for the Anderson family, it’s impossible for a single industry or policy to affect the entire family.”
Caroline understood immediately. What Edwin meant was that the Anderson family was very powerful and had a wide range of businesses. Therefore, it was impossible for a small change to affect the entire Anderson family.
And most importantly, the high governor would only stay in his position for a few years, and then someone else would take over. So even if the two sides were on bad terms, it would be difficult for him to threaten the old families that had taken root behind them. This was the confidence of the Anderson family.
While the two of them were talking, Edwin had already finished treating the wound on Caroline’s foot. “It’s best if it doesn’t come into contact with water for the next one or two days. Otherwise, the liquid will accumulate in the wound and cause inflammation.’
Caroline felt that her life was getting more and more exquisite after her rebirth.
“Then you’d better not let Danika know what you’re saying,” she said, troubled.
Otherwise, Danika would keep an eye on her all the time, afraid that she would do something bad to the recovery of her wound.
“It’s a pity that I’ve already heard it,” Danika’s faint voice came from the kitchen.
Caroline saw Danika’s resentful expression and immediately knew that the next few days would not be easy. She would be controlled by Danika from head to toe.
At the thought of this, her shoulders collapsed a lot. She just wanted to go back to her room and lie down. She gave up on herself and thought, ‘At least it’s my choice to lie down now.’
And after tonight, she would probably have to lie down on this bed for the next few days. Even if she wasn’t sleepy and didn’t want to sleep, she would be pressed down on the bed by Danika.
“Danika, this isn’t fair.” Caroline felt like she had turned into a goose. She stretched her neck and shouted, “I don’t think such a small wound needs to be bedridden for so long.”
Unfortunately, Danika was still impartial. “People who hurt themselves outside have no right to negotiate..”
