The room was dark and quiet. Vivian felt that something was wrong, so she paused for a moment before continuing, “Continue to check the area.”

Things had already progressed to this point, and there was no way back for her. She could only continue on. Vivian put away the walkie-talkie, reached out to the wall, and pressed the switch.
A strong light spread in the room, and Vivian squinted her eyes subconsciously. When she opened her eyes, she was shocked by the scene in front of her.
In her imagination, the person who should have been pressed to the ground and done whatever others wanted was now sitting elegantly on a single sofa with her legs crossed and cheeks on her hand. The villain who should have been assaulting her had his limbs broken and was lying on the ground, his life or death unknown.
Vivian’s widened eyes could not return to their original state for a long time. She swallowed her saliva and finally realized that her reaction was not very right. She quickly screamed to remedy the situation, pretending to be shocked and scared.
Caroline shushed her and her eyes fell on her nameplate. “Vivian, right? I think you’ve received professional training. In an emergency like this, other than screaming, you should have other ways to deal with it, right?”
Vivian’s face flushed red, and she let go of her mouth. “I’m sorry, Miss Lambert.
I lost my composure just now.”
Caroline didn’t answer her. She only said, “Go and contact the person you should be contacting right now. Tell them that a guest has been attacked here, and the guest wants to see Mrs. Hall.”
A thug had escaped their defenses, sneaked into the residence, and tried to attack the guests. This was a big deal!
Vivian contacted the head of the Central Service Department through the walkie-talkie, and the head of the department immediately contacted the guards. Soon, Mrs. Hall also received the news.
She apologized to the guests she was talking to and walked out of the banquet hall. Then, she hurried over. At the same time, she was praying that the guest was not injured. Otherwise, as the host of the banquet, she would not be able to explain it to the public. Even her husband might be attacked.
When she rushed to the so-called second area, which was the south side of the residence, the area used to entertain foreign guests, she saw Caroline inside and subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Mr. Hall, who had received the news, also arrived with his men. After seeing that the person who was attacked was Caroline, his reaction was completely different from his wife’s. He was even more vigilant against Caroline.
Seeing that his wife was about to walk over, he quickened his pace and walked in front of Mrs. Hall, deliberately blocking her behind him.
Caroline happened to see this scene. She raised her eyebrows. She finally understood why she felt so out of place when she met this officer. It seemed like he had been guarding against her.
However, after Caroline knew about it, she did not feel angry or sad. After all, from the other party’s perspective, there were indeed many strange things about Caroline. If she were in Mr. Hall’s shoes, she would be as guarded as him.
“Alright, Miss Caroline. I’m surprised. This is already the second incident. This makes me doubt the government’s security forces.” Mr. Hall glanced at the man on the ground who was dressed as a waiter.
If the teahouse incident had been too unexpected and they had not been on guard, it would have been understandable for the bad guys to take advantage of the situation. However, in the official residence, under heavy security, there was still someone with ill intentions who could sneak in. This was really a slap to his face.
Of course, the main reason was that he had just been elected not long ago, and the security team around him was new. They had not yet been fully integrated, which was why there were so many flaws.
“I’m very sorry. It should have been a pleasant night, but I didn’t expect things to turn out like this. Don’t worry, we’ll find out the truth as soon as possible and give you an explanation.”
Caroline raised her hand and interrupted him. “Mr. Hall, we are the ones who should apologize. I think this incident was targeted at me. In other words, you are the one who suffered an undeserved disaster.’
Mr. Hall looked back at her, as if evaluating her words. “I think even if that’s the case, they dared to break into the residence and cause trouble. This concerns the security of the residence, so we can’t just rely on your side.”
Caroline shrugged her shoulders in an uncouth manner.”Of course”
