Chapter 179

Chapter 179 Extortion

At that moment, it all clicked for Alistair.

The woman had produced a stack of documents—evidence tying Alistair to the

Whitfield case.

And not just any evidence. The kind that, if made public, could utterly destroy him.

She had somehow gotten hold of Caroline's contact information and arranged to

meet her in person.

And Caroline had come.

A storm of emotion stirred inside Alistair.

So her odd behavior today… was because of him.

Of course, Alistair knew the so-called “evidence” was fabricated. None of it could

actually incriminate him.

But Caroline showed up anyway. Was it because she didn’t fully believe he was

innocent?

He studied her face through the mental projection, searching for even a flicker of

hesitation. She gave him nothing.

The woman was still smiling, her expression a mix of flattery and threat.

And really, what else could Caroline do? No matter how powerful she seemed,

she was still just in her twenties. Driven by love, maybe she’d made a rash

decision.

But as the woman kept grinning, Caroline’s gaze stayed steady and unreadable.

Gradually, that smug smile began to falter.

Caroline tilted her head slightly, amusement lacing her tone. “What’s wrong?”

The woman sneered, “Guess you don’t love your husband that much after all.

Can’t even cough up five million dollars.”

“Are you done?” Caroline asked calmly.

The woman pouted, annoyed.

Just then, footsteps echoed from the hallway—several pairs, hurried and heavy.

Still hidden in the shadows, Alistair saw a group of uniformed officers heading

straight for the door.

Caroline opened it and pointed at the now-panicked woman. “Officer, this is the

one. She tried to extort five million dollars from me.”

The woman panicked and immediately denied it. “She’s lying! I
