Caroline felt the probing in Edwin’s words. She wasn’t sure if it was because he sensed that something was wrong with the ring or because of some other emotions.

However, as long as there was no direct evidence that the ring was from Luo Ling Pritz, and she insisted that it was sent by someone else, no matter how suspicious people were, they would not link the two unrelated people together.

Thus, Caroline wasn’t afraid of Edwin’s suspicion. “That’s why you have to keep it a secret for me. If not, it would be terrible if the other party knew that I sold the item.”

Edwin raised his coffee cup. “Don’t worry, we still have this bit of professional ethics.”

Caroline didn’t want to talk about this topic anymore. She said, “Compared to this, if you can provide me with a place to exercise and relax, I’ll be happier.”

She had woken up early in the morning to pack her things, and she had not even had the time to exercise. It was a habit that she had developed over the years. Without exercising for a day, Caroline would feel like something was missing and she would feel uncomfortable all over.

Besides, it wasn’t convenient for her to show her face outside now, and her newly rented apartment wasn’t tidied up yet. Thus, Caroline, who suddenly had nothing to do, wanted to find something to kill time.

Edwin glanced at her slender limbs. “I was just about to go to the horse track to relax. If you don’t mind, you can come with me.”

Caroline thought about it and realized that it had been a while since she rode a horse, so she agreed. Hence, the two of them packed up and drove to the Anderson family’s private racecourse.

Caroline changed into the riding suit provided by the racecourse in the VIP room. Although it didn’t fit her very well, the close-fitting design still revealed her beautiful curves. Her long hair was simply tied up behind her head, revealing a well-defined skull and well-defined facial features, but all of this was quickly covered up by a helmet and protective gear.

After putting on her equipment, Caroline opened the door and went out, ready to head to the horse track.

“Who are you?” Someone suddenly called out to her from behind.

Caroline stopped in her tracks and turned around. She saw a young man who was about 15 or 16 years old standing behind her. The young man was stunned for a second when he saw her. Then, his brows furrowed as if he was a little confused. Suddenly, his eyes widened as he pointed at Caroline and exclaimed, “You’re the demonic woman from the Lambert family! Why are you here?”

Caroline also felt that the other party looked familiar, but she could not recall who he was.

She didn’t like the look of disdain in his eyes when he looked at her. It was as if her appearance here was a taint to this place, so she couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to this little brat who had suddenly appeared and rushed up to find trouble.

The young man saw Caroline leaving without a word, she obviously didn’t take him seriously. He was so angry that he rushed forward.

“Hey! You’re really as arrogant and dislikable as the rumors say!” The young man reached out and wanted to pull her back. However, he didn’t expect Caroline to elbow him and push him away. The young man felt a pain in his stomach and then he fell against the wall.

He clutched his stomach and looked at Caroline in disbelief. “You actually dared to hit me! Do you know what this place is? You actually dare to attack me?!”

He shouted at the watch on his wrist, “Are you all dead? All you can do is just watch? Hurry up and capture her!”

After the young man gave the order, several burly security guards nearby ran over in this direction.

“Hmph, I’m not as easy to bully as your little sister. If you dare to touch this Young Master, I’ll make you suffer the consequences.” The young man rubbed his stomach, which was still a little sore. As if he was commanding an army, he stepped on a chair in the aisle and waved his hand. “Be quick with your movements. Don’t let her go!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the other VIP room suddenly opened.

“Don’t let her go?” Edwin, who had changed into a riding suit, appeared behind the door. “What’s wrong? Do you have a problem with the guest I invited? George?” He looked at the young man and said the words one by one.

The bodyguards who had surrounded them all ran away the moment they saw Edwin.

George, who had been clamoring just a moment ago, felt goosebumps all over his back when he heard this familiar voice and tone. He immediately put away his arrogant look and turned into an obedient little lamb. “Big Brother, why are you here?”
