Chapter 700 What Should We Do?

‘Could it be related to Nell?‘ Caroline wondered.

“Carol, are you listening to me?” Paige’s voice carried a hint of anger.

Caroline snapped back to attention. “I’m listening. I just had a thought.”

“Alright, then.”

After sending Paige home, Caroline called Neil. He took a while to answer and sounded exhausted when

he said, “Carol.”

“Neil? What’s going on? You sound worn out,” Carol asked.

Neil chuckled bitterly. “I’m fine. Where are you?”

“I’m on my way home, why?” Caroline inquired.

“Alright, I’ll come see you later.”

Not long after Caroline returned to Bayview Villa, Neil arrived, and they found themselves in the study

room. Neil had some stubble on his chin, and he appeared disheveled.

Caroline asked with concern, “Nell, what’s going on with you? Are you having trouble sleeping?”

Neil shook his head. “Tell me, what should we do next?”

Caroline felt a sense of foreboding wash over her. She took a deep breath and waited. “Just tell me, Neil.”

Nell looked up with bloodshot eyes. “I’ve confirmed that Evan’s father is the one who killed our father.”

His hands clenched into fists instantly, and his eyes burned with hatred. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Caroline’s senses heightened upon hearing Neil’s revelation, and her head began to buzz. “Are you sure?”

she asked, her disbelief still evident despite her mental preparation.

Nell nodded. “Yes, I have eyewitnesses and physical evidence to prove it. But what should we do to bring

him down?”

“Report him and make him pay!” Caroline exclaimed emotionally.

“Carol, I wouldn’t have lost sleep if it were that simple,” Nell said solemnly.

Caroline frowned. “What do you mean?”

“I consulted a lawyer. The lawyer told me that the incident was too long ago, and with Mr. Jordan’s status

and identity in Angelbay, there’s nothing we can do,” Neil explained.

Caroline felt a drain of energy. She slumped in her seat and asked, “Then what should we do?”

Neil replied, “If we can’t handle him, perhaps someone else can.”

“Who?” Caroline asked.

“Evan.”

Caroline questioned, “Do you think that’s possible, Neil? Evan and his father are still related, no matter

how strained their relationship is. Reporting his father would ruin MK’s future as well.”

Neil looked down in agony. “I know it’s not simple, but it seems like our only option now.”

“I can’t believe the police won’t take this case. I’m heading to the police station to find out,” Caroline said

as she stood up.

Neil hurriedly stopped her. “Calm down. Carol. I’ve already done that.”

Caroline shouted, “Are we just going to let a murderer go free?!”

“We won’t let him get away with it, but we need to find the right approach,” Neil reminded her.

Tears welled up in Caroline’s eyes. “I can’t believe public opinion won’t bring him down.”

“If you have one argument, he’ll come up with ten to counter it,‘ Neil cautioned. “He doesn’t even know

this is being investigated. If we expose it, we’ll be in danger too.”

“Don’t you find it ironic to seek help from the son of our father’s murderer?” she said.

“Carol, you’re right, but Evan is unaware of it,” Neil said, trying to be rational.
