Chapter 278

Karen didn’t say anything. She closed the study door and returned to her bedroom.

Hope wanted to take Karen to the hospital, but Karen, exhausted, was unwilling.

She simply asked someone to bring the first aid kit and treat the injuries on her face.

Seeing Hope crying, she felt as if she was looking at her past self.

Hope was just like Karen used to be, not knowing what to do when encountering problems, only crying.

Hope was full of despair and asked, “What should we do, Mom? Dad actually hit you.”

She didn’t know what happened in the study just now, but she knew that the trigger must have been her broken engagement. At that moment, guilt and fear were intertwined in her heart. She didn’t know what to do.

Putting the first aid kit aside, Karen looked at Hope with pity. After a long time, she sighed helplessly.

It was all she could do to comfort her. “Don’t be afraid, Hope”

At that moment, a decision began to form in her mind. She was hesitant about it.

HUSI

She thought, If Carlson couldn’t let go of his anger and decided to go against the Holmes family, it would inevitably suffer the consequences.

‘My children would be ruined by him. So this time, I couldn’t just ignore it as I had done before!

In just a few minutes, the expression on her face changed again and again. Finally, she asked Hope to put the first aid kit back and walked out.

These past few days, Carlson had been acting strangely, as if he were planning something secretive. He often left early and returned late. He immediately went to his room upon arrival.

That morning, as usual, he left with the driver. Once she was sure he was gone, Karen quietly went to Hope’s room and closed the door.

you sure we should do this? Dad will be angry if he finds out” Hope said.

“Mom, are you su

She held a delicate box tightly in her hand, her knuckles turning white with the effort. Her face was a picture of struggle and pain

Karen, on the other hand, seemed much calmer. She held out her hand, signaling Hope to give her the box.

It was a tiny listening device inside.

Karen looked calm. Following the instructions, she placed the bugging device under the desk in the study.

Although they were in their own home, they felt like thieves.

As Karen left the study after planting the device, she felt a chill running down her back and forehead. Touching her head. she realized it was covered in cold sweat.

Hope looked even worse. Her face was pale, and she looked extremely strange.

To prevent any mishaps, Karen spent a long time comforting Hope. The two sat together.

Karen said, “It’s okay, Hope. Don’t be afraid. Don’t give yourself away in front of him. If you feel too much pressure, pack

Hope shook her head, clutching Karen’s hand, trying to fight back her fear. “I won’t leave. What if he hits you again when Im gone?” she asked.

Karen felt warmth in her heart at these words, but in the end, she could only smile bitterly

Once was all it took, there would be countless times. It was just that he hadn’t been provoked yet. The next time he was angry, he would lash out at whoever was around.

That evening. Carlson, returning from outside, didn’t notice anything amiss. As usual, he went straight to the study. instructing the housekeeper that no one could disturb him.

After he entered the study, Karen went to Hope’s room.

She took the receiver that went with the listening device out of the box and held it in her hand.

After waiting for a while, a voice came from inside.

Carlson was on the phone with someone. Perhaps he didn’t expect anyone would dare to install a buzzing device in the study, so he spoke loud

“Have you found the person you mentioned?” she asked.

He paused for about ten seconds, presumably listening to the person on the other end of the line.

Immediately afterward, he said, “He doesn’t take on any wicked deeds? Well, you tell him this isn’t a wicked deed, just secretly taking a child out. I can add more money. Let him name his price.

Hearing this, Karen’s heart skipped a beat. She covered her mouth in shock.

‘Child? What child?”

The phone call continued. Karen was increasingly frightened by what she heard.

Carlson said, “Ill send
