母女的奴隶

Chapter 65 - 65 First Meeting



Seeing the confusion on Oleg’s face, Edwin, who was in a good mood, explained to him, “Caroline said she can solve it, so we’ll leave it to her.”

Oleg paused. “It seems that Sir trusts Miss Caroline a lot.”

“You can call her Madam from now on,” Edwin reminded him.

“Yes, Sir.” After answering subconsciously, he reacted and stood there hesitantly. Edwin noticed this but didn’t rush him.

“Sir, may I ask why?” asked Oleg. “Although she does look similar to the old friend you’re looking for, we’ve investigated Madam and we’re very sure that Madam isn’t that person.”

“I’m sorry, Sir. I’ve crossed the line,” Oleg said, freezing.

However, Edwin did not pursue the matter. Instead, he took off his gloves, stood up, and walked out of the window. His eyes were filled with nostalgia. “What if I say that it’s really her?”

“Impossible!” Oleg subconsciously retorted. After all, Caroline Lambert’s life was too simple. She couldn’t possibly be the young girl that Edwin had described. Her age alone didn’t match.

However, Edwin’s intuition had always been accurate, so he shouldn’t have mistaken someone else. So, what part of the story went wrong?

“I recognized her the first time I saw her at the hospital entrance,” Edwin said softly.

However, just like what Oleg said, Caroline’s past was too simple. It was completely different from the young girl in his memory, so he had always had doubts in his heart.

It wasn’t until Caroline took out the ring that they managed to trace it back to that person. Only then did Edwin connect the dots. Although he didn’t know what method she used to achieve this, Edwin was sure that the current Caroline was the old friend he met when he was young.

Seventeen years ago, he was only ten years old. As the appointed heir of the Anderson family, he had many people around him to protect him since he was young. However, in the end, he was betrayed by a greedy servant in his family, leading him to a den of thieves.

It was a gang of bandits, desperados who ran from the other side of the ocean. They only wanted to do something big in this country, so they spent countless time and manpower. In just a week, they kidnapped seven or eight rich people, including Edwin.

At that time, Edwin was very smart, but he was only ten years old. Whether it was intelligence or physical strength, he was still in the range of a child. So, he could only surrender in the siege of many big men.

They had thought that the criminals would let the children go after getting the money. After all, the people they had chosen were all rich and powerful. So if they didn’t want to be counterattacked and die too miserably, they didn’t have to be so extreme.

However, they had overestimated the madness of this group of criminals. When he saw with his own eyes that the criminals took the money and killed a five-year-old child with a shot, Edwin clearly realized that if he couldn’t save himself, he might be the next one to be blown up.

“We can’t continue like this. What’s going on?” Edwin mumbled. He didn’t expect to hear the same voice as him. He turned his head and saw that the other party was a girl about seven or eight years old.

They had been taken to an old villa in the mountains, and the children had been stuffed into the same room. The windows and doors of the room were sealed with iron bars, and the only exit was the door, which was also locked with a big lock. It could not be opened from the inside.

Therefore, the robbers were not afraid that they would run away. No one was even guarding the door, and they were not afraid that anyone would hear them.

The girl’s name was Ling. She looked at Edwin and asked, “Are you willing to help me?”

Edwin raised his eyebrows and asked two questions. “First, why did you choose me?”

“You are the calmest child present,” Ling replied.

Upon seeing the five-year-old boy’s head being shot and splattered everywhere, although Edwin’s expression changed, he wasn’t like the other children who screamed and shrank back or even vomited in fear.

“Second, why would I choose you?” Edwin continued to ask her.

Edwin’s question showed that he also had the determination to escape, but why should he listen to the young lady’s command?
