The man was so scared that he started shaking. He stumbled away, looking like he was running
for his life
Seeing this, Howard’s eyebrow twitched. A bad feeling grew in his gut.
A wicked look flashed in Kirk’s eyes as he sat in the middle of the couch.
Howard braced himself and laughed as he faced the crowd. “Let me go up for a look. You can all
chat. Don’t mind us…”
As he spoke, he stumbled upstairs, nearly tripping a few times.
When he got to the second floor, he looked around at the empty master bedroom and strode over to the butler. Lowering his voice, he questioned, “Where’s the madam?”
The butler instantly went down on his knees. “Sir, the madam… She hasn’t been back since she went out yesterday. I’ve been trying to contact her all this time, but I didn’t manage to get through
to her.”
Howard kicked the butler in the chest. “You useless fool. Why are you telling me such an important piece of news now?”
The butler clutched his chest. “Sir, I sent people out to search for her yesterday, but no one’s found her, even now. We should make a police report immediately.”
Howard gritted his teeth and said, “Let me ask you something. Why did she go out yesterday?”
“S–she… she…” The butler lowered his head, not daring to tell Howard.
Howard was so angry that he felt like he was about to have a heart attack. “Are you still not going to tell me at this point?”
With no other choice, the butler could only answer tremblingly, “To capture … Caroline.”
Howard’s voice was high as he shouted, “What did you say?”
“She went to capture Caroline,” the butler repeated.
Howard was so infuriated that he kicked the butler several more times. “Why did she want to
capture Caroline? Don’t you know I signed a contract with Mr. Kirk?”

Although Howard despised Caroline a lot, the Collins family had been earning so much after
signing the contract with Kirk. Thereafter, he couldn’t be bothered with Caroline anymore.
If Jane had gone to make trouble for Caroline, wasn’t she just transgressing against the person
who was letting them make money?
“I don’t care how you do it, but find Jane now! Right this instant! And Caroline. Don’t let Mr. Kirk
find out about what happened. Go now!”
“Yes, sir!” The butler scrambled to get up from the ground. Without caring for his pride, he raced
down the stairs.
Downstairs, the guests couldn’t help but look up at the butler as he left the house. Right then,
Howard’s voice drifted down from the second floor.
“I’m so sorry, everyone. We forgot to buy some drinks. I’ve sent someone to get to it now. Let’s-”
Before he could finish, the butler retreated from the front entrance. He was trembling even harder
now than he had been before.
“You piece of shit! I asked you to do something. How can you be so-”
Howard’s voice suddenly came to a stop. He watched as the police came in and hurried
downstairs. “Officers, what brings you here?”
The policeman at the front was stern as he brought out an arrest warrant. “Good evening, we’re
here to see Jane Dawson. She’s implicated in an abduction and murder case.”
Howard clenched his fists tightly to maintain his composure.
“Officers, you must be mistaken. Other than playing cards and shopping, that wife of mine doesn’t
do anything much. How could she possibly have abducted or tried to murder anyone?”
“Mr. Collins,” the policeman started. He was unaffected by Howard’s words.
“We will investigate the truth of what happened. If the suspect is innocent, we will naturally
release her. For now, please ask her to come out.”
“She she…”
“Mr. Collins!” The policeman sounded even more stern now.
“Search the place!” Seeing that Howard wasn’t willing to bring Jane out after a long while, the
2/3
However, after a flurry of searching, they didn’t find her at all.
“Captain, she’s not here.”
