Chapter 207: Heartbroken
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
It was obvious that Jeanne had lost her mind due to her excessive paranoia. Thus, she had chosen to use death to truly control her own life. No one could get what they wanted, but she had finally gotten what she wanted for once.
After experiencing that incident, Luo Ling understood that perhaps everyone’s life was not complete, so they would always look up to what they couldn’t get. This was a very normal thing.
But the most important thing was not to lose yourself because of this.
When this incident happened, it was a huge blow to Luo Ling, but now that she thought about it, her emotions were much calmer.
She didn’t agree with what Jeanne had done. Because of her backstabbing, Luo Ling had sacrificed a lot of her comrades, so this matter would always be a thorn in her heart.
Caroline hid some of the key things involved and briefly told Edwin about it.
Edwin wanted to say something to comfort her, but the matter involved was too heavy. All words would be useless at this time. He could only hold Caroline tighter.
Sensing Edwin’s emotions, Caroline patted his hand and said, “You don’t have to worry about it. It’s all in the past now, and I’m not the same as she was back then.”
In all sorts of ways, she was indeed not the Luo Ling of the past.
Caroline knew very well that as long as she wanted to continue moving forward, she could not be bound by the pain of the past. She only needed to turn these things into scars on her body to remind herself not to fall into the same trap again and to be more careful.
Edwin chewed on Jeanne’s name and suddenly remembered something. “So the ring you gave me was actually meant for her?”
Caroline was a little surprised. “You found out?”
Edwin also concealed the fact that he had found Caroline’s true identity through this ring. He only said, “After all, it’s going to be auctioned, so before that, it has to go through a round of detailed inspection. Only after a certain valuation can we bid.”
Caroline nodded. “Yes, this ring was supposed to be her birthday present.” Unfortunately, neither of them had waited for this day.
When she saw the ring in the underground auction, she felt that it was especially suitable for Jeanne, so she spent a high price to buy it. Then, she specially got someone to engrave Jeanne’s name on the ring.
Now that she thought about it, perhaps her understanding of Jeanne had always been very shallow. She had only been deceived by her appearance, so she had never truly entered her heart or understood her true personality. That was why the sapphire diamond did not match the real Jeanne. Perhaps that was why Jeanne did not have the chance to wear it.
Edwin felt the sadness coming from Caroline and asked her, “Then do you hate her?”
“Hate?” Caroline repeated the word for a long time before saying, “I don’t know.”
After all, she had too many people to hate. In comparison, Jeanne’s actions might have hurt her more than hatred.
Because she originally had better ways to break free from her predicament.
Of course, Caroline didn’t know if Jeanne had made any other struggles in the past years. From the results, she had undoubtedly chosen the worst way. In the end, she had only obtained her wish through death and destruction. It was unknown whether she would win or lose.
Caroline sighed. “Forget it. Let’s not talk about her. Let’s talk about the current situation. It’s about Vivian Smith.”
Edwin continued, “You don’t have to worry about this. Leave it to me.”
Caroline pinched his earlobe. “Of course I’ll leave it to you. After all, this is your affair.”
Edwin admitted that he was the one who had caused this, but he said, “I don’t agree that this is a romantic debt. This is just her one-sided imagination. I won’t bear this crime.”
Edwin sent Caroline back to the villa. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this matter soon. I won’t let her have the chance to sneak in front of you again.”
However, reality proved that it was better not to be too confident.
Edwin ordered people to investigate what Vivian had encountered in the years since she left the Smith family, and what she had done to make her enter the official residence at a young age and become a logistics staff. Then, they would find out what role she had played in the incident last night..
