Chapter 11 Find Out Where She Is

Daniella extended her hand toward Evan’s phone, ready to pass it to him.

However, as she glanced at the caller ID displaying Caroline’s name, a glimmer of coldness flickered in her eyes. She hesitated briefly, then swiftly ended the call and slipped the phone back into Evan’s coat, feigning nonchalance.

Meanwhile, Caroline remained frozen in place, her mind reeling, as she witnessed the abrupt termination of the call.

With determination, Caroline clenched her teeth and hailed a taxi to make her way to the casino. She desperately hoped Evan would return her call.

Taking a deep breath, she gathered her courage and pushed open the door.

As the door creaked open, a pungent combination of smoke and the scent of blood assaulted her senses.
